  • Page 3: Introduction

    The purpose of this document is to familiarize first responders and the towing/roadside assistance industry with the proper methods to handle the Optima Hybrid Electric Vehicle in an emergency situation. This guide gives a basic overview of key vehicle systems and instructions for dealing with the different types of emergencies encountered by first responders.

  • Page 4: Vehicle Description

    Introduction Vehicle Description As with other HEV, the Kia Optima HEV uses the combination of a conventional gasoline powered internal combustion engine and a high voltage electric motor to propel the vehicle. This combination provides for improved gas mileage over a conventional Kia as well as an increase in power over the standard 4-cylinder engine.

  • Page 15: Emergency Procedures

    Emergency Procedures Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with an Optima Hybrid Electric Vehicle at an emergency scene. All other operations should be consistent with your department’s standard operating procedures or guides. Hybrid electric vehicles damaged by a crash may have compromised high voltage safety systems and present a potential high voltage electrical shock hazard.
  • Page 16 The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can endanger response personnel and civilians alike. Although Optima Hybrid Electric Vehicle emits virtual sound of engine, if it is damaged from crash, there may be instances where the vehicle appears to be shut off due to no engine sound.
  • Page 17 Emergency Procedures Disable The final step of 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 flowing through the system, use one of the following procedures to disable the vehicle.
  • Page 18 Emergency Procedures 2. If necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors and open the trunk as required, before disconnecting the 12V battery. Once the 12V battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate. 3. Before disconnecting 12V battery, move the Smart Key at least 2 meters away from the vehicle to prevent accidental restart.
