Extrication
Extrication
- Immobilize Vehicle:
Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Push the P position switch to engage park.
- 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 fuse box cover.
3. Remove the IGCT No. 2 fuse (10A red colored) in the engine compartment fuse box (refer to illustration). If the correct fuse cannot be recognized, pull all fuses 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, 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 HS250h 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.
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. 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 HS250h 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.
Dash Displacement:
The HS250h 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.
Active Headrest Removal:
The HS250h is equipped with active headrests, located in both front seatbacks. The active headrests are mechanical non-pyrotechnic head supports that are designed to help reduce neck injuries in the event of a rear collision.
No special methods are required to remove the headrests. Push the release button and lift to remove the headrest.
NOTE:
The HS250h 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.
