Emergency Procedures

3.5 Extraction Operations

When performing an extraction of vehicle occupants, be aware of airbag and restraint
locations. Avoid cutting near undeployed airbags, airbag sensors and safety belt sensor
equipment.
In the event of a vehicle collision, the sensing system may shut down the high voltage system.
When this occurs, the high voltage battery is disconnected.
In the event of a shutdown, the "Check Charging System" message will illuminate on the
instrument cluster, and a chime will sound.
Electrocution Risk
Always assume there is power to the system, even if you suspect the sensing system has
disabled the high voltage battery.
Ensure the vehicle is disabled before performing extraction (see above).

3.6. Potential Hazards

Please be aware of the following potential hazards, and always take the appropriate safety
measures as outlined in your training and specified by your incident commander's direction.

3.6.1 Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)

To ensure safety, wear Personal Protection Equipment (Insulation Gloves and Safety
Glasses), and use HV insulated tools when working with the Kia Optima Hybrid.
Electrocution Risk
Do not carry any metallic objects such as a watch or jewelry, as these can cause short circuits
to occur. Always make sure that protective gear is not damaged and is free from any tears or
moisture.
