Emergency Response (Continued)
Extrication (Continued)
Stabilize Vehicle
Crib at (4) points directly under the front and rear pillars.
Do not place cribbing under the high voltage power cables, exhaust
system, or fuel system.
NOTE:
The Highlander hybrid is equipped with a tire pressure warning
system that by design prevents pulling the metal valve stem with
integral transmitter from the wheel. Snapping the valve stem with
pliers or removing the valve cap and Schrader valve will release the
air in the tire.
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. Front dual
stage airbags automatically ignite both stages within a fraction of
a second.
Door Removal/Displacement
Doors can be removed by conventional rescue tools such as hand,
electric, and hydraulic tools. In certain situations, it may be
easier to pry back the vehicle body to expose and unbolt the
hinges.
NOTE:
Beginning with the 2011 model, the Highlander hybrid is
equipped with an electronic impact sensor mounted in both front
doors. During door removal, cutting the wiring harness routed to
the front door will not result in airbag deployment.
