Emergency Procedures 

Immobilize

 

The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can 
endanger response personnel and civilians alike. Although Soul Electric Vehicle has a 
function of virtual sound of engine, it may be damaged by a crash. Therefore, there will be 
instances where the vehicle appears to be off due to no engine sound.   
When           ―READY‖ lamp is illuminated on the Cluster Instrument Panel, the vehicle can 
move almost 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 of travel. To 
immobilize the vehicle, follow these procedures:  

Chock the wheels  

Set the parking brake. 

Position the shift 

lever in park (P)
