Extrication

Immobilize Vehicle



Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Move the shift lever to the Park position.

Disable Vehicle
Performing either of the following procedures will shut the vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS, and gasoline fuel pump.

Procedure #1
1. Confirm the status of READY indicator in the instrument cluster.
2. If the READY indicator is illuminated, the vehicle is on and operational. Shut off the vehicle by pushing the power button once.
3. The vehicle is already shut off if the instrument cluster lights and the READY indicator are not illuminated. Do not push the power button because the vehicle may start.
4. Keep the smart key at least 3.3 feet (1 meter) away from the vehicle.
5. If the smart key cannot be found, disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in the trunk.




NOTE:
Before disconnecting the 12-Volt auxiliary battery, if necessary, reposition the power seats, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and open the fuel door as required. A manual fuel door release is located in the trunk (see illustration). Once the 12-Volt auxiliary battery is disconnected power controls will not operate.




Procedure #2 (Alternate if power button is inaccessible)
1. Disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in the trunk.
2. Remove the driver side fuse box cover in the engine compartment.
3. Remove the IGCT No. 2 fuse (10A red colored) in the engine compartment junction block as illustrated. If the correct fuse cannot be recognized, pull all of the fuses in the fuse block.

WARNING:
- The high voltage system may remain powered for up to 10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious injury or death.from severe burns or electric shock, avoid touching, cutting, or breaching any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component.
- The SRS may remain powered for up to 90 seconds after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent serious injury or death from unintentional SRS deployment, avoid crushing, cutting or breaching the SRS components.
- If none of the disabling procedures can be performed, proceed with caution as there is no assurance that the high voltage electrical system, SRS, or fuel pump are disabled.


Stabilize Vehicle



Crib at (4) points directly under the front and rear pillars. Do not place cribbing under the high voltage power cables, exhaust system, or fuel system.

NOTE:
The CAMRY hybrid is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that by design prevents pulling the metal valve stem with integral transmitter. Snapping the stem with pliers or removing the valve cap and Schrader valve will release the air in the tire.

Access Patients
Glass Removal
Use normal glass removal procedures as required.




SRS Awareness
Responders need to be cautious when working in proximity to undeployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners. Front dual stage airbags automatically ignite both stages within a fraction of a second.

Door Removal/Displacement
Doors can be removed by conventional rescue tools such as hand, electric, and hydraulic tools. In certain situations, it may be easier to pry back the vehicle body to expose and unbolt the hinges.

Roof Removal
The CAMRY hybrid contains side curtain airbags. If undeployed, it is not recommended to remove or to displace the roof. As an alternative, remove the roof panel between the two roof side rails. The side curtain airbags may be identified as illustrated.

Dash Displacement
The CAMRY hybrid contains side curtain airbags. Do not remove or displace the roof during a dash displacement to avoid cutting into undeployed airbags or inflators. As an alternative, dash displacement may be performed by using a Modified Dash Roll.

Rescue Lift Air Bags
Responders should not place cribbing or rescue lift air bags under the high voltage power cables, exhaust system, or fuel system.

Repositioning Steering Wheel and Seats
Manual tilt/telescopic steering wheel and power/manual seat controls are shown in the illustrations above. The folding rear seat releases are provided in the trunk.

NOTE:
- The CAMRY driver (optional passenger) power seat and standard passenger manual controls are shown in the illustration. Repositioning the power driver and passenger seats must be done prior to 12-Volt auxiliary battery disconnect.
- The Camry hybrid has an electrochromic auto dimming rear view mirror. The mirror contains a minimal amount of transparent gel sealed between two glass plates that will not normally leak.
