Introduction
About This Manual
The emergency response procedures for the Corsair Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles are similar to those for traditional gasoline-powered
vehicles with the addition of special considerations for the High Voltage electric system components.
These vehicles use a conventional gasoline engine in addition to an electric motor to power the vehicle.
• Gasoline is stored in a traditional fuel tank.
• Electricity is stored in a High Voltage battery pack.
The combination of a gasoline engine and electric motor provides for improved performance, reduced emissions and improved fuel economy.
The PHEV High Voltage system can be plugged into an electric outlet for recharging to optimize the vehicle's extended electrical range. The
vehicle system incorporates a generator that charges the High Voltage battery during cruising and braking.
The information in this guide will allow response to emergencies involving these vehicles to be as safe as non-hybrid vehicles.
These vehicles have been designed with many safety features for your protection. These features help provide safe access to the vehicle
under various conditions. However when approaching an electric vehicle in a fire, rescue or recovery situation, always follow one industry
standard rule:
ALWAYS ASSUME THE VEHICLE'S HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM IS POWERED UP!
