  • Page 3 Identifying the Pacifica Hybrid Model The Pacifica Hybrid can be identified by unique badging. The rear lift gate is marked “eHYBRID” at the lower right. At the driver-side front fender, the charge port door features the same “e” leaf logo. The engine cover is unique as shown, and the left dash gage is a power meter.
  • Page 4 Driveline Controls ● This vehicle uses an electronic shift control (1) for its automatic transmission. To shift the vehicle into park, rotate the knob counter clockwise until it stops. ● To place the vehicle in Neutral, press on the brake and rotate the knob clockwise from Park 2 clicks until the bar LED above “N”...
  • Page 5 Engine Compartment Access The hood latch release in the Chrysler Pacifica is located to the left of the steering wheel at the base of the lower dash panel. Placing fingers upward behind the edge at the flush inset lever handle, pull outward toward you. The hood will raise slightly and catch on the safety latch.
  • Page 6 Propulsion and Charging Operations For propulsion, the hybrid minivan uses both a gasoline fueled internal combustion engine and an electric motor within the transmission, which is powered by a high voltage battery system. The vehicle control system uses the electric motor to do regenerative braking and recover some of the energy during vehicle braking.
  • Page 7 High Voltage Devices Stored HV energy in the HV Battery System (1) is provided to the ‘PIM’ Power Electronics (2) and delivered as three phase AC power to the Electric Motors for propulsion. The stored HV energy is used by other vehicle components including: •...
  • Page 8 Emergency Disabling of Low and High Voltage Power Standard procedure to disable 12 V and High Voltage (HV) power To disable utility power to the vehicle do step 1. To disable 12 V power from the Vehicle Systems and to disable HV Battery power external from the HV Battery complete steps 2 AND 3. Step 4 should be done if possible safely and only disables HV Battery power external of the HV Battery.
  • Page 9 Emergency Disabling of Low and High Voltage Power Procedure Step 1: Unplug the EVSE Recharge Coupler from the Vehicle Charge Receptacle This will remove EVSE AC power from the vehicle. This will remove EVSE AC Press the EVSE power from the vehicle. Recharge Coupler button and pull to remove ©2017 FCA US LLC...
  • Page 10 Emergency Disabling of Low and High Voltage Power Procedure Step 2: Turn Ignition Switch to Off by pressing Stop button and move keys at least 20 feet away from the car This action starts normal shutdown of 12 V and HV power. Press stop button to turn ©2017 FCA US LLC...
  • Page 11 Emergency Disabling of Low and High Voltage Power Procedure Step 3: First: Under the hood in the Physically cut the 12 V power front, remove PDC cover to reveal the positive 12 V connection . Second: Cut and remove a segment of the 12V positive supply cable.
  • Page 12 Emergency Disabling of Low and High Voltage Power Procedure Step 4: ( If possible safely) Remove the Service Disconnect This will disable High Voltage output from the battery First: Uncover the Fourth: Reinstall the Service Disconnect cover over the empty access cover.

Warning: Personal Protective Equipment must be used by First Responders when addressing a damaged Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. ©2017 FCA US LLC 2017 Pacifica Hybrid Emergency Response Guide P.13...
  • Page 14 Inverted Vehicle Emergency Power-down When the vehicle is inverted, or hood access is blocked: 1) Access the passenger compartment through the rear lift gate, gate window, or side door if possible. 2) Locate the 12 volt battery access on the driver’s-side adjacent to the lift gate in the rear of the vehicle.
  • Page 15 Inverted Vehicle Emergency Power-down (cont.) When the vehicle is inverted, or hood access is blocked: 6) Remove the trim assembly to expose the battery. 7) Cut away or remove all negative battery cables. 8) Locate the Service Disconnect floor well behind and between the front two seats and uncover.

  • Page 17 Fire Fighting Considerations Fighting electrified driveline vehicle fires poses unique challenges. • Never cut, pierce or damage any high voltage component as serious injury may result. • Chemical extinguishers and oxygen denial are not effective in these fires. • Deluge with water delivered via fire hose at the maximum possible distance is the recommended practice to contain the fire and cool the reagents, minimizing risk of spread and risk of toxic emissions.
  • Page 18 Extrication Considerations Impact event emergencies can require the extrication of victims from damaged vehicles. Determination of the need to extricate and timing must be made by incident command based on standard response practices and procedures. When victims can be removed safely from an electrified driveline vehicle, it may be prudent as consequences of damage to high voltage components may evolve over time.

  • Page 22 Recommended Lift and Cut Zones The areas illustrated are recommended lift and cut zones on the vehicle. Determination of actual lift and cut points Lift Points must be made by incident command based on the unique situational factors such as possible relocation of the hazards illustrated on the preceding pages as a result of Cut zones impact events.
  • Page 23 Post-incident Handling Following initial response, certain actions and precautions are necessary. If air bags have deployed, the vehicle cannot be driven again until repaired, as air bag protection will not be available to occupants in the event of a collision. After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately. While the Pacifica HV battery is designed for safety, industry-wide experience has demonstrated that the unlikely possibility of delayed ignition or re-ignition of a damaged battery must be considered in post- incident handling.
