Extrication

(Continued)

Procedure #2 (Alternate if ignition
key is inaccessible)

1. Disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in

the engine compartment.

2. Remove the engine compartment covers.

3. Remove the fuse box cover.

4. Remove the IGCT No. 4 fuse (10A Red

coloured) in the engine compartment
junction block as illustrated.  When in
doubt, pull all four fuses in the fuse block.

Stabilise Vehicle

Chock/stabilise at (4) points directly under
the front and rear pillars.

Do not place blocks under the high voltage
power cables, exhaust system, or fuel
system.

Access Patients

Glass Removal

Use normal glass removal procedures
as required.

SRS Awareness

Responders need to be cautious when
working in close proximity to undeployed
airbags and seat belt pretensioners.
Deployed front dual stage airbags
automatically ignite both stages within a
fraction of a second.

WARNING:

• After disabling the vehicle, power is maintained

for 90 seconds in the SRS system and 5 minutes
in the high voltage electrical system.

• If either of the disabling procedures above cannot

be performed, proceed with caution as there is no
assurance that the high voltage electrical system,
SRS, or fuel pump are disabled. 

Never

touch, cut, or open any orange high

voltage power cable or high voltage component.  

• Failure to follow these warnings may result in

death or serious injury from the sudden
deployment of the SRS or severe burns
and electric shock from the high voltage
electrical system.
