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 CT200h 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 valve stem with pliers or removing the
valve cap and Schrader valve will release the air in the tire.
Access Patients
Glass Removal
Use normal glass removal procedures as required.
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.
NOTE:
To prevent accidental airbag deployment when performing front
door removal/displacement, ensure the vehicle is shut off and the
12 Volt auxiliary battery is disconnected.
The CT200h has a rear chassis damper (shock absorbing
cylinder) mounted under the rear bumper to absorb body
vibration and flex. This damper may be compromised in a fire or
collision.
