Extrication

Immobilize Vehicle



- Chock wheels and set the parking brake.



- Move the shift lever to the P (park) position.

Disable Vehicle (HV battery pack, SRS airbags, & gasoline fuel pump)



- Turn the ignition key off, remove the ignition key, and place on dash.
- Disconnect 12-Volt auxiliary battery.
OR (if the ignition key is inaccessible)
- Disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery.



- Remove the IGCT relay in the engine compartment as shown in the illustration.

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 steps 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 tank.

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

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

- Dash Displacement
Displace the dash by using a conventional dash roll, Modified Dash Roll, or jacking the dash.

- Roof Removal
The roof may be removed as there are no SRS airbag devices above the door line.

- Rescue Lift Air Bags
Responders should not place rescue lift airbags under the high voltage power cables, exhaust system, or fuel tank.
