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.
Roof Removal
The GS450h contains side curtain airbags.
If undeployed, it is not recommended to
remove or to displace the roof. The side
curtain airbags may be identified as
illustrated.
Dash Displacement
The GS450h contains side curtain airbags.
Do not remove or displace the roof during a
dash displacement to avoid cutting into
undeployed airbags or inflators. As an
alternative, dash displacement may be
performed by using a Modified Dash Roll.
