If an accident occurs
High voltage components
-
For your safety, do not touch high voltage cables, connectors 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 an electrical shock, an injury, or a death may occur.
Any gas or electrolyte leakage from your vehicle is not only poisonous but also flammable. Upon witnessing one of those, make sure your car is parked in a safe area away from any roads, open the windows, and maintain a safe distance away from the vehicle. Immediately contact an authorized Kia dealer and advise them that a hybrid vehicle is involved.
-
If you need towing, refer to More Details.
-
When the vehicle is severely damaged, remain a safe distance of 15 meter (50 feet) or more between your vehicle and other vehicles/flammables.
-
If a fire occurs, immediately call emergency services (911) and advise the emergency responders that a hybrid vehicle is involved.
Submersion in water
Do not touch your vehicle if it has been submerged in water. The high-voltage battery may cause shock or may catch fire. Immediately contact the authorities and advise them of the condition of your vehicle and that a hybrid vehicle is involved.
