Immobilize

Immobilize

The next step is to immobilize the vehicle to prevent any accidental movement that can endanger the emergency response personnel and any crash victims. Since the Sonata Hybrid has the ability to shut down the gasoline engine when it is not needed, there will be instances where the vehicle appears to be off because of the absence of engine noise. When in its ready mode, the vehiclecan move almost silently using the electric motor alone. Responders should approach the vehicle from the sides and stay away from the front or rear as they are both potential paths of travel. Instructions for immobilizing the vehicle are shown in above image.
