2. Immobilization / Stabilization / Lifting
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.
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 OPTIMA 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.
