Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable

Identify

The

Niro EV is an electric vehicle. Emergency responders should respond to emergency

scenarios involving the

Niro EV accordingly, exercising extreme care and caution to avoid

contact with the high voltage system within the vehicle.

The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with a

Niro EV at an

emergency scene. However, all operations should be consistent with your department's

standard operating procedures, guidelines, and any applicable laws. When an EV is

damaged in a crash, the high voltage safety systems may have been compromised and

present a potential high voltage electrical shock hazard. Exercise caution and wear

appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) safety gear, including high voltage safety

gloves and boots. Remove all metallic jewelry, including watches and rings.

“Eco Electric” Logo on Tailgate

•

The Niro EV can be easily identified by the

“Eco electric” logo attached on the tailgate and

front charge port door on driver’s side.

•

The eco electric logo may be missing or

hidden after a crash due to damage to the

vehicle. Always be sure to utilize additional

methods of identification before determining

that the vehicle is not a electric car.

Charging Port

The charging port is located on the front left bumper.

#Note : The doors must be un

-locked to open the charge port door.

How to open the charging port

Press the unlock door button, depress

the brake pedal and apply the Electric

Parking Brake (EPB).

Turn OFF all switches, move the shift lever

to P (Park) and turn off the vehicle.

3. Open the charging door by pressing it.

1.1 Identifying a Kia NIRO EV

The

Niro EV Cluster Instrument Panel displays EV specific features such as high voltage

battery SOC (State of Charge) as circled below

NIRO EV Cluster Instrument Panel

Charge Status Indicator

The

battery charge status indicator (3 separate lights), visible

from outside on the center of

the dashboard, is illuminated when the vehicle is charged with an AC charger. The number

of lights illuminated indicates

the charge level of the battery.

2. Immobilization / Stabilization / Lifting

The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can

endanger response personnel or civilians. When the

Niro

EV is damaged in a crash, the vehicle

may appear to be shut off, even when it actually is not, due to a lack of engine sounds.

When the "READY" mode light is illuminated on the Instrument Panel, the vehicle can move

silently using the electric motor. Responders should approach the vehicle from the sides and

stay away from the front or rear as they are potential paths for vehicle movement. Be sure to

immobilize the vehicle in the following manner.

Chock the wheels

Set the Electronic Parking

Brake (EPB)

Put the vehicle in P (Park)

position by pressing the ‘P’

button on the rotary shifter

2.2 Vehicle Stabilization

Use standard stabilization (lift) points, as

shown beside.Always be sure to connect to a

structural component of the vehicle and avoid

placing cribbing under high voltage cables,

and other areas not normally considered

acceptable.

2.1 Immobilization

•

When installing a block or jack, avoid high voltage cable, battery and fuel system (exhaust

system).

•

If high voltage components or cables are exposed, do not place any support on them.

Disable Direct Hazards / Safety Regulations

The final step in the initial response process, conducted after immobilizing the vehicle, is to

disable the vehicle, its SRS components and the high voltage electrical system. To prevent

current flow through the system, use one of the following procedures to disable the vehicle.
