Emergency procedures
Immobilize
The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can endanger
the emergency response personnel and any crash victims. Since the SANTAFE Hybrid has the
ability to shut down the gasoline engine when it is not needed, there will be instances where the
vehicle appears to be off because of the absence of engine noise. When in its “ready” mode, the
vehicle can move almost silently using the electric motor alone. Responders should approach the
vehicle from the sides and stay away from the front or rear as they are both potential paths of
travel. Instructions for immobilizing the vehicle are shown below.
