The Kia Sorento HEV is a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) designed with specific features and safety considerations for emergency responders. This guide outlines procedures for identification, immobilization, disabling hazards, occupant access, managing stored energy, fire response, submersion, towing, and additional important information.
The Sorento HEV is a hybrid electric vehicle, meaning it combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor and a high voltage battery system. This configuration allows for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The vehicle can operate in electric-only mode, making it potentially silent, which is an important consideration for emergency responders. The high voltage system is a critical component, and its safe management is paramount in emergency scenarios.
