7. IN CASE OF SUBMERSION
7.1 Submerged or Partially
Submerged Vehicles
Some emergency responses can involve a
submerged vehicle. An EV9 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 that 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
7~9 to disable the vehicle. Then, discharge
the battery by referring to page 22.
WARNING
• 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 service
interlock connector while the vehicle is in
water.
Failure to follow these instructions can
lead to death or serious injury by
electrocution.
