7.1 Submerged or Partially Submerged Vehicles
7. In case of submersion
Some emergency responses can involve a submerged vehicle. SONATA HEV 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 the vehicle is submerged or partially submerged, remove the vehicle from
the water before attempting to disable the vehicle. Drain the water from the vehicle. Use
one of the methods described in page 6
-10 to disable the vehicle.
Then, discharge the battery by referring to page 23
-24.
If severe damage causes high voltage components to become exposed, responders
should take appropriate precautions and wear appropriate insulated personal protective
equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can lead to death or serious
injury by electrocution.
