Extraction Operations - Kia EV9 Emergency Response Manual

4.1 Extraction Operations

The EV9 is an electric vehicle. Because of
the high-voltage components contained
within, first responders should pay special
attention when they extract occupants in
the car. Before performing any extraction
operations, the first responders should
"Identify, Immobilize and Disable" the
vehicle as discussed in sections on
emergency procedures.
4.2 Extraction Tools and
Procedure
When responding to an incident involving
the EV9, we recommend that the first
responders follow their organization's
standard operating procedures for dealing
with vehicle emergencies. When the first
responders cut the vehicle, they should
always pay special attention to the airbag
system, orange colored high-voltage
cables and other high-voltage components
so that the parts are not damaged and to
prevent a risk of explosion or electrocution.
