Extrication
Extrication
- Immobilize Vehicle:
Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Move the shift lever to the Park position.
NOTE:
The LS 600h L utilizes a push/pull parking brake switch that electromechanically sets/releases the rear parking brakes.
- To set/release, push/pull the parking brake switch located on the
dash to the right side of the steering column (refer to illustration).
- If the AUTO button is set and illuminated, the parking brake will
automatically set when the vehicle is shifted to the Park position.
- To verify that the parking brake is set, confirm that the PARK
light illuminates on the instrument cluster (refer to illustration).
The PARK light will turn off after approximately 15 seconds.
- Disable Vehicle:
Performing either of the following two procedures will shut the
vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS, and gasoline fuel pump.
Procedure #1
1. Confirm the status of the 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. If the smart key is easily accessible, keep it at least 16 feet (5 meters) away from the vehicle.
5. If the smart key cannot be found, disconnect the 12 Volt auxiliary battery behind the cover in the trunk to prevent accidental restarting of the vehicle.
Procedure #2 (Alternate if power button is inaccessible)
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the engine compartment and fuse box covers.
3. Remove the IG2 relay in the engine compartment fuse box (refer to illustration). If the correct relay cannot be recognized, pull both relays in the fuse box.
4. Disconnect the 12 Volt auxiliary battery behind the cover in the trunk.
NOTE:
Before disconnecting the 12 Volt auxiliary battery, if necessary, set the parking brake, reposition the power seats and optional power steering wheel, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and open the fuel door as required. A manual fuel door release is located in the trunk behind a cover on the driver side. Once the 12 Volt auxiliary battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate.
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 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 LS600h is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that by design prevents pulling the metal valve stem with integral transmitter from the wheel. Snapping the valve stem with pliers or removing the valve cap and Schrader valve will release the air in the tire.
The LS600h L is equipped with an air suspension system. In the event of a collision, fire or malfunction, air leakage may occur, allowing the body to drop.
Access Patients:
Glass Removal:
The LS600h L is equipped with laminated side windows having similar properties as laminated windshield glass. If side glass removal is required, use the same techniques as the front windshield glass.
Types of glazing found on the LS 600h L
- Laminated front windshield
- Laminated side windows
- Tempered rear window
SRS Awareness:
Responders need to be cautious when working in close 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 LS600h is equipped with side curtain airbags.
When undeployed, total roof removal is not recommended. Patient access through the roof can be performed by cutting the roof center section inboard of the roof rails as illustrated. This would avoid breaching the side curtain airbags, inflators, and wiring harness.
NOTE:
The side curtain airbags may be identified as illustrated on this page
Dash Displacement:
The LS600h is equipped with side curtain airbags. When undeployed, total roof removal is not recommended to avoid breaching the side curtain airbags, inflators, and wiring harness. 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 Front Seats:
Telescopic steering wheel and seat controls are shown in the illustrations.
Note:
The LS600h L is equipped with front seat power adjustable headrests using the power seat controls. The headrest cannot be removed. Reposition the seat and headrest prior to disconnecting the 12 Volt auxiliary battery.
Repositioning Rear Seats
Power adjustable rear seats are standard in the LS 600h L. The rear seat control panel shown in the illustration should be used if it is necessary to adjust the rear seat position. Before adjusting the position of a rear seat, select either the left or right hand seat using the selection switch.
NOTE:
In the event that a rear door is opened, the optional rear seat ottoman may automatically fold closed. To prevent the rear seat from retracting, disconnect the 12 Volt auxiliary battery before opening the rear doors.
NOTE:
The LS 600h L is equipped with an optional 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.
