Rescue
Pushing away the instrument panel
• Crush the rocker panel near the A pillars
using the spreader

shears
• Make a depression at the bottom towards the
rear of the rocker panel near the B pillar and
install the telescopic rescue ram
• Position the other end of the rescue ram on the
A pillar level with the instrument panel. To
prevent the base of the rescue ram from
breaking through, make sure that the
supporting points are strong.

• To prevent vehicle parts from springing back,
the rescue ram should be left under pressure
until the casualty or casualties have been
rescued from the vehicle
