7. In case of submersion
• If severe damage causes high voltage components to become exposed, responders
should take appropriate precautions and wear appropriate insulated personal
protective equipment.
• Do not attempt to remove a safety plug while the vehicle is in water.
Failure to follow these instructions can lead to death or serious injury by electrocution.
Some emergency responses can involve a submerged vehicle. An Electrified G80 that
is submerged does not have high-voltage components on the vehicle’s body or
framework. It is safe to touch the vehicle’s body or framework if there is no severe
damage to the vehicle, whether it is in water or on land.
In the event of a submerged, or partially submerged, vehicle, remove the vehicle
from the water before attempting to disable it. Drain the water from the vehicle. Use
one of the methods described in page 5-8 to disable the vehicle.
Then, discharge the battery by referring to page 21-22.
