2. Immobilization / stabilization / lifting
The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can
endanger responding emergency personnel or civilians. When the SONATA HEV is damaged in
a crash, the vehicle may appear to be shut off when it is not because the engine emits little to no
sound.
When the "READY" mode light is illuminated on the Instrument Panel, the vehicle can move
silently using the electric motor. Responders should approach the vehicle from the sides and
stay away from the front or rear as they are potential paths for vehicle movement. Be sure to
immobilize the vehicle in the following manner.
2.2 Vehicle Stabilization
Use standard stabilization(lift) points, as
shown to the right. Always be sure to connect
to a structural member of the vehicle and
avoid placing cribbing under high voltage
cables, and other areas not normally
considered acceptable.
