Upon Arrival - Start here!
Emergency Response
On arrival, emergency responders should follow their standard operating procedures for vehicle incidents. Emergencies involving the Prius may be handled like other automobiles except as noted in these guidelines for Extrication, Fire, Overhaul, Recovery, Spills, First Aid, and Submersion.
WARNING:
- Never assume the Prius is shut off simply because it is silent.
- Always observe the instrument cluster for the READY indicator status to verify whether the vehicle is on or shut off.
