Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable
Identify
•
The OPTIMA PHEV is an hybrid electric vehicle. Emergency responders should
respond
to emergency scenarios involving the OPTIMA PHEV 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 OPTIMA
PHEV
at
an emergency scene. However, all operations should be consistent with
your
department's
standard operating procedures, guidelines, and any applicable laws. When
an
PHEV
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.

Chock the wheels
Set the Electronic Parking
Brake (EPB)
Put the vehicle
in P (Park) position
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.
2.1 Immobilization
The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can
endanger response personnel or civilians. When the OPTIMA PHEV 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.

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”
