7. Accessing the occupants
• Glass removal:
Use normal glass removal procedures as required.
• SRS awareness:
First responders need to be cautious when working in proximity of undeployed air bags and seat
belt pre-tensioners. Front dual stage air bags automatically ignite both stages within a fraction of a
second.
• Door removal/displacement:
Doors can be removed by conventional rescue tools such as hand, electric, and hydraulic tools. In
certain situations, it may be easier to pry back the vehicle body to expose and unbolt the hinges.
• Roof removal:
The Altima Hybrid contains curtain air bags. If undeployed, it is not recommended to remove or to
displace the roof. As an alternative, remove the roof panel between the two roof rails.
• Instrument panel displacement:
The Altima Hybrid contains curtain air bags. Do not remove or displace the roof during an instrument panel displacement to avoid cutting into undeployed air bags or inflators. As an
alternative, instrument panel displacement may be performed using a modified instrument panel
roll.
• Rescue lift bags:
First responders should not place cribbing or rescue lift bags under the high voltage power cables,
exhaust system, or fuel system.
NOTE:
Repositioning the power seats must be done prior to 12 volt battery disconnection.
• Repositioning the seats:
The power seat control can be located as shown.
Moving the switch forward or backward will slide
the seat forward or backward to the desired position. Move the recline switch backward until the
desired position is obtained. To bring the seatback forward again, move the switch forward while
moving forward.
