  6. FIGURE 18.5 Blue cables under the hood of a General Motors mild hybrid electric vehicle.

  7. FIGURE 18.6 The end of a hot stick has a hook that allows first responders to grab and move high-voltage cables without being shocked because the pole is made from fiberglass, which is an insulator.

  8. FIGURE 18.7 Use caution when cutting roof pillars because the curtain airbags could be deployed.

  9. CHART 18.1 A summary chart showing where the 12-volt and high-voltage batteries and shut-off switch/plugs are located.

  10. FIGURE 18.8 The dotted lines on the battery cables indicate where first responders should cut the 12-volt battery cables, which will de-power the high-voltage system.

  11. FIGURE 18.9 A methanol fuel pump is rarely seen. Methanol is seldom used as a fuel, but it is commonly used as an industrial solvent.
