SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE
If an accident occurs
WARNING
• When a vehicle accident occurs,
move the vehicle to a safe place,
turn OFF the vehicle and remove
the auxiliary battery (12 V) termi‐
nal to prevent high voltage elec‐
tricity from flowing.
• If electric wires are exposed from
inside or outside the vehicle, do
not touch the wires.
Also, do not touch the high voltage
electric wire (orange), connector,
and all electric components and
devices.This may cause electric
shock and lead to injuries.
WARNING
When a vehicle accident occurs and
the high voltage battery is damaged,
harmful gas and electrolytes may
leak. Be careful not to touch the
leaked liquid.

When you suspect leakage of inflam‐
mable gas and other harmful gases,
open the windows and evacuate to a
safe place. If any leaked fluid comes
in contact with your eyes or skin,
immediately clean the affected area
thoroughly with tap water or saline
solution and have doctors inspect it
as soon as possible.
WARNING
If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant
for electrical fires. If it is impossible
to extinguish the fire in the early
stage, remain a safe distance from
the vehicle and immediately call your
local fire emergency responders.
Also, advise them that an electric
vehicle is involved.
If the fire spreads to the high volt‐
age battery, large amount of water
is needed to put out the fire. Using
small amount of water or fire extin‐
guishers not meant for electrical

fires could cause serious injury or
death from electrical shocks.
WARNING
If you cannot put out the fire imme‐
diately, the high voltage battery
may explode. Evacuate to a safe
place and do not let other people ap‐
proach the site.
Contact the fire department and no‐
tify them of an electric vehicle fire.
If the vehicle is flooded with water,
immediately turn OFF the vehicle
and evacuate to a safe place. Con‐
tact the fire department or a pro‐
fessional workshop. Kia recommends
to contact an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
