2. IMMOBILIZATION / STABILIZATION / LIFTING
WARNING
• When installing a block or jack, avoid
high-voltage cable, high-voltage battery.
• If high-voltage components or cables
are exposed, do not place any support
on them.
2.1 Immobilization
The next step is to immobilize the vehicle
to prevent any accidental movement that
can endanger response personnel or
civilians. When the EV9 is damaged in a
crash, the vehicle may appear to be shut
off, even when it actually is not, due to a
lack of virtual engine sounds. When the
"READY" mode light is illuminated on the
Instrument Panel, the vehicle can move
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 for
vehicle movement. Be sure to immobilize
the vehicle in the following manner.
2. Put the vehicle in P (Park) position by
pressing the ‘P’ button.
3. Set the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
2.2 Vehicle Stabilization
Use standard stabilization (lift) points,
as shown beside. Always be sure to
connect to a structural component of
the vehicle and avoid placing cribbing
under high-voltage cables, and other
areas not normally considered
acceptable.
