    Disabling Procedures

    Today, “rip and tear” techniques to gain entry are less effective and potentially
    dangerous. Access is often much easier than it appears. A more appropriate adage is
    “Try before you pry.”

    Avoid cutting the vehicle until all of the electrical systems have been deactivated and
    isolated. Cutting into the areas of the vehicle prior to disconnecting and isolating the
    electrical energy sources may cause an electrical arc and/or personal injury.

    Response Guidelines

    First Responders should practice safety procedures and caution when approaching
    or working with the Silverado or Sierra Hybrid Truck during an emergency situation.
    Approach the scene slowly in order to fully develop a mental picture and check for
    hazards.
