Kia NIRO PHEV - Immobilization; Stabilization; Lifting; Immobilization

2. Immobilization / Stabilization / Lifting
The
next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that
can
endanger
response personnel or civilians. When the NIRO PHEV is damaged in a crash,
the
vehicle
may appear to be shut off, even when it actually is not, due to a lack of 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.
Chock the wheels
Set the Electronic Parking
Brake (EPB)
Put the vehicle
in P (Park) position
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.
