The dash lift technique is described as lifting and releasing which part of the vehicle?

• A. Section of the dash from the front end
• B. The roof from the center
• C. The hood latch from the side
• D. The doors from the hinges

Answer: (A)

Dash lift focuses on freeing space by raising the forward section of the instrument panel—the dash—from the front end. By lifting the front edge of the dash, you release it from its mounting and create room behind it, which relieves intrusion on the occupant’s legs and hips and gives access for further rescue steps (like releasing seat belts or reaching behind the dash). The other options describe actions on different parts of the vehicle and are not how this technique is applied.
