SORENTO HEV

1. Identification / Recognition
Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable
Identify
The
Sorento Hybrid is a hybrid electric vehicle. Emergency responders should respond
to
emergency
scenarios involving the Sorento HEV 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 Sorento Hybrid
at
an
emergency scene. However, all operations should be consistent with your
department's
standard
operating procedures, guidelines, and any applicable laws. When HEV 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), 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 Sorento HEV 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.
