Precautions when servicing the high voltage system
• Since the electric vehicle contains a high voltage battery, if the system or vehicle is handled improperly, it may
result in a severe accident such as an electrical short, shock, etc. Therefore, make sure to comply with the
following before working on the system.
• Make sure to cut off the high voltage by separating the service plug before inspecting or repairing the high
voltage system.
(Refer to the "High Voltage Cut-off Procedure")
• The separated service plugs should be kept by the person in charge of work to prevent it from being connected
by another person by mistake.
• Metallic object may cause short circuit, leading to personal injury or vehicle damage. Be sure to remove all
metallic objects from the body before starting the task. (Metallic objects : watch, ring, and other metallic
objects)
• Before working on the high voltage system, equip personal protective equipment to prevent safety-related
accidents.
(Refer to "Personal Protective Equipment")
• Make sure not to let anyone other than the person in charge of the work equipped with the protective equipment
touch the high voltage-related parts. In order to prevent it, cover any high voltage system not related to the
work with an insulation cover.
• When working on the high voltage system, make sure to use insulated tools.
• Organize and store the removed high voltage parts on an insulated mat to prevent a short circuit.
• Check that the voltage between high voltage terminals is 30V or lower.

• Exercise caution to ensure that the (+) and (-) terminals do not come into contact when connecting or removing the
power cable and busbar.
Precautions when handling the high voltage battery
• Refer to Battery Control System - "High Voltage Handling Guide".
• High voltage battery's performance may decrease if it is exposed to high temperature for a lengthy period. As a
result, heat-treatment after painting must not exceed 70°C/30 minutes, or 80°C/20 minutes.
Precautions in case of fire on the high voltage battery system
• Turn OFF the Start button. Keep the Smart Key at least 2 meters away from the vehicle to prevent unintended engine
start.
• Quickly disconnect the service interlock connector plug in the early stage of fire.
(Refer to Battery Control System - "High Voltage Shut-off Procedure")
• Turn OFF the vehicle key as soon as possible and evacuate to the outside if the vehicle stops after a
flooding/collision accident.
• If a small fire occurs, use an extinguisher for electrical fire (ABC or BC) to extinguish.

• If the fire has not been put down in early stage, escape to the safe place and keep people out of the vehicle.
• Call fire station and report the vehicle is on fire. Follow the instruction from the fire station.
• If it is difficult to supress the fire, promptly move to safe place and wait until the rescue arrives.
• The fire on the drive motor battery at the bottom of the vehicle requires constant supply of a large volume of
water to extinguish. It is difficult to extinguish the fire if there are not enough water or proper fire
extinguisher. Approaching the vehicle may lead to life damage such as electrical shock.
Precautions in case of high voltage battery gas or electrolyte leakage
• Turn OFF the Start button. Keep the Smart Key at least 2 meters away from the vehicle to prevent unintended engine
start.
• Quickly turn OFF the service plug in the early stage of fire.
(Refer to "High Voltage Cut-off Procedure")
• Gas is hydrogen and alkaline vapor. If the leakage is indoor, ventilate the area immediately and evacuate to a safe
location.
• If the leaked liquid comes in contact with skin, immediately neutralize the affected area with boric acid solution, then
clean with tap water or saline solution.
• If the leaked vapor or liquid gets in the eye, immediately clean the affected eye with water then get medical attention.
• If the cause of gas leakage is a high temperature, then do NOT use the high voltage battery until the battery is fully
cooled down to room temperature.
Precautions when handling the vehicle after an accident
• Be sure to wear insulated gloves (or rubber gloves), protective goggles, insulated suit and insulated boots.
• Do not touch bare cable under any condition. (Refer to "Precautions when handling the power cable")
• If the vehicle is flooded, do not come close to the high voltage related parts. If the situation is unavoidable, move the
vehicle to a safe place before taking action.
• Gas is hydrogen and alkaline vapor. If the leakage is indoor, ventilate the area immediately and evacuate to a safe
location.
• If the leaked liquid comes in contact with skin, immediately neutralize the affected area with boric acid solution, then
clean with tap water or saline solution.
• To cut off the high voltage, refer to "High Voltage Cut-off Procedure."
Precaution for vehicle fire
If a small fire occurs, use an extinguisher for electrical fire (ABC or BC) to extinguish.
• If the fire has not been put down in early stage, escape to the safe place and keep people out of the vehicle.
• Call fire station and report the vehicle is on fire. Follow the instruction from the fire station.
• If it is difficult to supress the fire, promptly move to safe place and wait until the rescue arrives.
• The fire on the drive motor battery at the bottom of the vehicle requires constant supply of a large volume of
water to extinguish. It is difficult to extinguish the fire if there are not enough water or proper fire

Precautions in Case Electric Vehicle Is Left Unattended for a Lengthy Period
• Turn OFF the Start button. Keep the Smart Key at least 2 meters away from the vehicle to prevent unintended engine
start. (Prevents deep discharge of high voltage battery due to dark current, etc.)
• If the high voltage battery SOC (State Of Charge) is 30% or lower, the state should not be left unattended for a
lengthy period.
• If the vehicle will be left unattended for a lengthy period, charge the battery to the full at a normal rate every three
months in order to prevent the high voltage battery SOC from becoming 0.
• When inspecting or exchanging the auxiliary battery, check high voltage battery SOC reset related problems.
Precautions when retrieving/refilling electric vehicle refrigerant
• The electric compressor of an electric vehicle using high voltage uses POE oil of high insulating performance.
• Use a separate equipment (refrigerant retrieval/charging device) for maintenance of an electric vehicle to prevent the
PAG oil of a general vehicle from flowing in upon retrieving/refilling the refrigerant.
• Use the refrigerant retrieval/charge device exclusively used for the electric compressor to inject the designated
refrigerant (R-134a) and refrigeration oil (POE). If the refrigeration oil (PAG) for the ordinary car is injected,
the compressor may be damaged or a safety-related accident may occur.
