RESCUE GUIDELINE.
FOR BMW PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLES.
DAS BMW i8 RETTUNGSHANDBUCH.
EDITORIAL.
In the future, BMW will be offering many series that include plug-in hybrid models, which feature both an electric motor and an
internal combustion engine, thus combining maximum performance with low consumption. The energy required by the electric
motor is supplied by a high-voltage battery. With the percentage of plug-in hybrid vehicles on the rise, it’s safe to assume that you,
the emergency crews, will be recovering more and more vehicles with high-voltage batteries following an accident. This Rescue
Guideline plays a key role in ensuring you’re well prepared for situations such as these.
The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) has drawn up a list of key recommendations for on-site emergency team
operations. This list addresses general questions relating to the potential dangers of vehicles with high-voltage systems. However, as
with conventional vehicles, different models have different requirements. This also applies to high-performance BMW plug-in hybrid
vehicles, which combine the benefits of electric motors with those of internal combustion engines. We’ll explain what that means exactly
and what the resulting recommendations are for you. You can rest assured that our engineers take the safety of emergency crews into
account when developing all of the BMW plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Working closely with many experts, we developed two documents that are crucial to how you behave at the scene of an accident: the
Rescue Manual and the Rescue Data Sheet.
Both documents are available for download free of charge at the bottom of the page of the following Web sites:

The VDA answers frequently asked questions. The most up-to-date version can be downloaded at the following address:

We have also developed this Rescue Guideline to supplement these documents. Using the plug-in hybrid model of the BMW X5 as an
example, this manual introduces the basic principles behind the BMW plug-in hybrid vehicles and their key safety aspects. Please
use this manual to obtain a general overview. The Rescue Data Sheeet and Rescue Manual contain detailed and binding
instructions for what to do in concrete situations involving an accident, which we hope are infrequent.

CONTENTS.
The following chapter introduces the principles behind BMW plug-in
hybrid vehicles using the BMW X5 xDrive40e as an example, after which
you will find an overview of the safety aspects that are relevant to you,
the emergency crews. The various tasks are depicted in the context of
an accident:

DIFFERENT VEHICLES, ONE PRINCIPLE:
SAFETY FIRST.
BMW plug-in hybrid vehicles combine the benefits of internal combustion engines with electric motors. The result is unrivaled efficiency
with exceptional performance. The energy required for the electric motor is stored in the high-voltage battery, which can be conveniently
charged at home or on the go with a charging cable. The battery is also charged through recovery of braking energy during the drive,
which occurs, for instance, when the driver releases the gas pedal or applies the brakes and the movement of the vehicle generates
excess energy.
The high-voltage system is intrinsically safe and, as a rule, automatically shuts off in the event of an accident, virtually eliminating
electrical hazard. The system components are connected via orange high-voltage cables, making them recognizable at first glance.
THE RESULT:
BMW plug-in hybrid vehicles are also setting new benchmarks in terms of safety.
