4.4 Extraction tools and procedure
When responding to an incident involving an Electrified GV70, we recommend that the
first responders follow their organization’s standard operating procedures for dealing
with vehicle emergencies.
When the first responders cut the vehicle, they should always pay special attention to
the airbag system, orange colored high voltage cables and other high voltage
components so that the parts are not damaged and to prevent a risk of explosion.
4.1 Extraction Operations
4. Access to the occupants
The Electrified GV70 is an electric model. Because of the high voltage components
contained therein, first responders should pay special attention when they extract
occupants in the car. Before performing any extraction operations, the first responders
should "Identify, Immobilize and Disable" the vehicle as discussed in sections on
emergency procedures.
Use standard stabilization (lift) points, as
shown beside. Always be sure to connect
to structural member of the vehicle and
avoid placing cribbing under high
voltage cables, and other areas not
normally considered acceptable.
