Extrication
Extrication
Immobilize Vehicle
- Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
- Push the P switch to engage park.
Disable Vehicle
- Performing either of the two procedures will shut the vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS airbags, 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 the vehicle may start.
4. Remove the electronic key from the key slot.
5. If equipped, disable the smart key button underneath the steering column.
6. Keep the electronic key at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from the vehicle.
7. If the electronic key cannot be removed from the key slot or if the electronic key cannot be found, disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in the rear cargo area.
Alternate Procedure (power button inaccessible)
Procedure #2
1. Disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in the rear cargo area.
2. Remove the HEV fuse (20A yellow colored) in the engine compartment junction block as illustrated. When in doubt, pull all four fuses in the fuse block.
WARNING:
After disabling the vehicle, power is maintained for 90 seconds in the SRS system and 5 minutes in the high voltage electrical system.
If either of the disabling procedures above cannot be performed, proceed with caution as there is no assurance that the high voltage electrical system, SRS, or fuel pump are disabled.
Never touch, cut, or open any orange high voltage power cable or high voltage component.
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.
Access Patients
Glass Removal
Use normal glass removal procedures as required.
SRS Awareness
Responders need to be cautious when working in close proximity to undeployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners. Deployed 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. In certain situations, it may be easier to pry back the body to expose and unbolt the hinges.
Roof Removal
The vehicle may contain optional curtain shield airbags. If equipped and undeployed, it is not recommend to remove or to displace the roof. Optional curtain shield airbags may be identified as illustrated.
Dash Displacement
The vehicle may contain optional curtain shield airbags. When equipped, do not remove or displace the roof during a dash displacement to avoid cutting into the airbags or inflators. As an alternative, dash displacement may be performed by using a Modified Dash Roll.
If not equipped with the optional curtain shield airbags, displace the dash by using a conventional dash roll, Modified Dash Roll, or jacking the dash.
Rescue Lift Air Bags
Responders should not place cribbing or rescue lift airbags under the high voltage power cables, exhaust system, or fuel system.
Repositioning Steering Wheel and Seat
Tilt steering and seat controls are shown in the illustration.
