First Responder Guide



While the majority of the components that make up our hybrid are common to traditional GM vehicles, there are some differences that may affect how a rescue procedure is performed.

This guide contains a general description of how the Saturn VUE Green Line Hybrid system operates, shows the location of the badging, and offers illustrations of its unique components. It also suggests ways of disabling the system and presents cut zone information.




The 2007 Saturn VUE Green Line Hybrid is a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle that uses up to 20 percent less fuel than the non-hybrid Saturn VUE.

Introduced in the summer of 2006, the hybrid model uses a 36-volt electrical system coupled with a traditional 12-volt battery and sophisticated technology to achieve its fuel savings.

The vehicle is equipped with a 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder engine and a traditional 12-volt starter motor, which is used only for initial starts of the vehicle.
