If an accident occurs

For your safety, do not touch
high voltage cables, connec-
tors and package modules.
High voltage components are
orange in color.
Exposed cables or wires may
be visible inside or outside of
the vehicle. Never touch the
wires or cables, because it
can cause an electrical shock,
injury or death may occur.
Any gas or electrolyte leakage
from your vehicle is not only
poisonous but also flamma-
ble. Upon witnessing one of
those, open the windows, and
remain a safe distance from
the vehicle out of the road.
Immediately contact an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer and advise
them that a hybrid vehicle is
involved.

WARNING
(Continued)
When the vehicle is severely
damaged, remain a safe dis-
tance of 50 feet (15 meter) or
more between your vehicle and
other vehicles/flammables.
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
911. Also, advise them that a
hybrid vehicle is involved.
If the fire spreads to the high
voltage battery, large amount of
water is needed to put out the
fire. Using small amount of
water or fire extinguishers not
meant for electrical fires could
cause serious injury or death
from electrical shocks.
WARNING
When a submersion in water
occurs:
When your vehicle is flooded in
water, a high-voltage battery
may cause shock or fires. Thus,
turn the hybrid system OFF, take
the key in your possession and
escape to a safe place. Never
attempt physical contact with
your flooded vehicle.
Immediately contact an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer and advise
them that a hybrid vehicle is
involved.
