Emergency Response (Continued)
Extrication (Continued)
•
Stabilize Vehicle
Crib at (4) points directly under the front and rear pillars.
Do not place cribbing under the high voltage power cables, exhaust
system, or fuel system.
NOTE:
The LS 600h L is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that
by design prevents pulling the metal valve stem with integral
transmitter from the wheel. Snapping the stem with pliers or
removing the valve cap and Schrader valve will release the air in the
tire.
The LS 600h L is equipped with an air suspension system. In the
event of a collision, fire or malfunction, air leakage may occur,
allowing the body to drop.

Glass Removal
The LS 600h L is equipped with laminated side windows having
similar properties as laminated windshield glass. If side glass
removal is required, use the same techniques as the front
windshield glass.
Types of glazing found on the LS 600h L
−
Laminated front windshield
−
Laminated side windows
−
Tempered rear window
SRS Awareness
Responders need to be cautious when working in close proximity
to undeployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners. Front dual
stage airbags automatically ignite both stages within a fraction of
a second.
Door Removal/Displacement
Doors can be removed by conventional rescue tools such as hand,
electric, and hydraulic tools. In certain situations, it may be
easier to pry back the vehicle body to expose and unbolt the
hinges.
