Identify
•
The EV6 is an electric vehicle. Emergency responders should respond to emergency
scenarios involving the EV6 accordingly, exercising extreme care and caution to avoid
contact with the high voltage system within the vehicle.
The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with a EV6 at an
emergency scene. However, all operations should be consistent with your department’s
standard operating procedures, guidelines, and any applicable laws. When an EV is
damaged in a crash, the high voltage safety systems may have been compromised and
present a potential high voltage electrical shock hazard. Exercise caution and wear
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) safety gear, including high voltage safety
gloves and boots. Remove all metallic jewelry, including watches and rings.

2. Immobilization / Stabilization / Lifting
The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can
endanger response personnel or civilians. When the EV6 is damaged in a crash, the vehicle
may appear to be shut off, even when it actually is not, due to a lack of engine sounds.
When the "READY" mode light is illuminated on the Instrument Panel, the vehicle can move
silently using the electric motor. Responders should approach the vehicle from the sides and
stay away from the front or rear as they are potential paths for vehicle movement. Be sure to
immobilize the vehicle in the following manner.
Chock the wheels
Set the Electronic Parking
Brake (EPB)
Put the vehicle in P (Park)
position by pressing the ‘P’
button on the rotary shifter
2.2 Vehicle Stabilization
Use standard stabilization (lift) points, as
shown beside.Always be sure to connect to a
structural component of the vehicle and avoid
placing cribbing under high voltage cables,
and other areas not normally considered
acceptable.

•
When installing a block or jack, avoid high voltage cable, high voltage battery.
•
If high voltage components or cables are exposed, do not place any support on them.

Disable Direct Hazards / Safety Regulations
The final step in the initial response process, conducted after immobilizing the vehicle, is to
disable the vehicle, its SRS components and the high voltage electrical system. To prevent
current flow through the system, use one of the following procedures to disable the vehicle.
3.1 Disabling the System – Smart Key System and “POWER”
START/STOP Button
