FOREWORD Escape Hybrid or Mariner Hybrid emergency response procedures are similar to those for a traditional gasoline powered vehicle with the exception of the high voltage electrical system. The Escape Hybrid or Mariner Hybrid vehicle uses a conventional gasoline engine in addition to an electric motor to power the vehicle. The energy used to power the vehicle comes from gasoline (used by the internal combustion engine) and electricity (used by the electric motor). The energy used to powe

DESIGN FEATURES The following list indicates some of the features that have been designed to disconnect high voltage in the event of an accident. • Inertia switches are designed to disconnect high voltage and fuel in the event of an accident. There are two inertia switches - both front and rear. If either switch opens, it disconnects the high voltage and electrical circuit to the gasoline fuel pump. • The high voltage system is disconnected any time the vehicle ignition key is turned to th

• Batteries consist of 250 individual cells (similar in shape to a size D flashlight battery). Each individual battery cell is contained in a stainless steel case. • Each individual cell is 1.3 volts. The cells are welded and wrapped together in groups of 5 to form a module. There are 50 modules in the battery pack. The total voltage of the battery pack is 300 volts DC • The batteries are Ni-MH (Nickel-Metal Hydride). The battery pack contains sealed batteries similar to the batteries used

• Bring the following equipment: o Class ABC powder type fire extinguisher o A non-conductive object – about 5 feet long (1.5 meters) – used to safely push someone away from the vehicle if they accidentally come in contact with high voltage. 2. APPROACHING A DAMAGED VEHICLE • Disable the high voltage electrical system using as many of the following steps as possible: o Secure the vehicle - Put the shift lever into Park. Remove the ignition key. Block the wheels if necessary. Removing the i

SPECIAL NOTES • If the vehicle is on fire, use Class ABC powder type extinguisher to contain and smother the flames. Or, if water is used, large amounts are required (e.g., from a fire hydrant). • If the vehicle has any exposed cables, make sure you are wearing insulated gloves and other protective clothing. Do not touch any broken or damaged orange cables. Treat severed lines as if they contain high voltage. • If the vehicle is submerged in water, do not touch any high voltage componen
