Emergency Response
On arrival, emergency responders should follow their standard
operating procedures for vehicle incidents. Emergencies involving the
Highlander hybrid may be handled like other automobiles except as
noted in these guidelines for Extrication, Fire, Overhaul, Recovery,
Spills, First Aid, and Submersion.
WARNING:
• Never assume the Highlander hybrid is shut off simply because it is
silent.
• Always observe the instrument cluster for the READY indicator
status to verify whether the vehicle is on or shut off. The vehicle is
shut off when the READY indicator is off.
• Failure to shut off the vehicle before emergency response procedures
are performed may result in death or serious injury from the sudden
deployment of the SRS or severe burns and electric shock from the
high voltage electrical system.
Extrication
• Immobilize Vehicle
Chock wheels and set the parking brake.
Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
• Disable Vehicle
Performing either of the following two procedures will shut the
vehicle off and disable the HV battery pack, SRS, and gasoline fuel
pump.
Procedure #1

2. Remove the key and place on dash. If the key cannot be removed,
disconnect the 12-Volt auxiliary battery in the engine

seats, lower windows, open door locks and fuel door as required.
