Hybrid and EV Emergency First Responder Information

First responder information regarding various hybrid and electric vehicles (EV) produced by GM is available online at GMSTC.com for emergency personnel. The information can help first responders in learning about the hybrid and electric systems so that they can perform necessary rescue actions quickly and properly in an emergency situation.

The First Responder Guides provide an overview of how vehicle systems operate and how to identify a hybrid or electric vehicle from a conventional vehicle. In addition, the Quick Reference Sheets and Rescue Sheets detail the location of key components as well as how to safely prevent current flow by disabling the system. The sheets show high voltage label locations and cable cut label locations. (Fig. 18)
