Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable
Identify
The
Niro EV is an electric vehicle. Emergency responders should respond to emergency
scenarios involving the
Niro EV accordingly, exercising extreme care and caution to avoid
contact with the high voltage system within the vehicle.
The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with a
Niro EV at an
emergency scene. However, all operations should be consistent with your department's
standard operating procedures, guidelines, and any applicable laws. When an EV is
damaged in a crash, the high voltage safety systems may have been compromised and
present a potential high voltage electrical shock hazard. Exercise caution and wear
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) safety gear, including high voltage safety
gloves and boots. Remove all metallic jewelry, including watches and rings.

The eco electric logo may be missing or
hidden after a crash due to damage to the
vehicle. Always be sure to utilize additional
methods of identification before determining
that the vehicle is not a electric car.

The
Niro EV Cluster Instrument Panel displays EV specific features such as high voltage
battery SOC (State of Charge) as circled below
.
NIRO EV Cluster Instrument Panel
Charge Status Indicator
The
battery charge status indicator (3 separate lights), visible
from outside on the center of
the dashboard, is illuminated when the vehicle is charged with an AC charger. The number
of lights illuminated indicates
the charge level of the battery.

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
EV 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 by pressing the ‘P’
button on the rotary shifter
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

•
When installing a block or jack, avoid high voltage cable, battery and fuel system (exhaust
system).
•
If high voltage components or cables are exposed, do not place any support on them.
3.
Disable Direct Hazards / Safety Regulations
The final step in the initial response process, conducted after immobilizing the vehicle, is to
disable the vehicle, its SRS components and the high voltage electrical system. To prevent
current flow through the system, use one of the following procedures to disable the vehicle.
