3-2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Insulated Tools
3-2.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective Wear Control
Perform an inspection of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) items before beginning work. Do not use
any damaged PPE items.
3-2.2 Daily Inspection
This inspection is performed before and after use. The worker who will be using the items should perform
the inspection and check for deterioration and damage.• Insulated rubber gloves should be inspected for scratches, holes and tears. (Visual check and airleakage test)
• Insulated safety boots should be inspected for holes, damage, nails, metal pieces, wear or other problems on the soles. (Visual check)
• Insulated rubber sheet should be inspected for tears. (Visual check)
3-2.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
3-2.4 Discharge Procedures
Do not perform this procedure if the high voltage battery is damaged. If you are unsure of
battery damage, use extreme caution and always wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) when working on high voltage components.
Li-ion battery discharging must take place before dismantling. Sufficient discharging can be achieved by
following these steps. 1. Place the shift selector into the Park (P) position
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Set wheel chocks to ensure the vehicle is completely immobilized.
4. Fasten the driver seat belt and close the driver door.
5. Apply foot brake and press the ignition switch to turn the system ON. Confirm READY
indicator in instrument cluster turns ON.a. If the engine starts, leave the engine on until the idling stops.
b. If the engine does NOT start, move on to next step.

6. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
7. Push down the shift lock (B) using mechanical keyas shown in the illustration.
8. Push the shift selector button (C) and move the shift selector to the Neutral (N) position (D) while holding
down the shift lock.
NOTE:
DO NOT press accelerator or foot brake after
moving the shift selector to the Neutral (N)
position. Otherwise Li-ion battery will start to becharged.
NOTE:
The engine must not be running at this time. If the engine has restarted, repeat the
previous steps.
9. Release the parking brake.
10. Unbuckle the seat belt and open the driver door. The READY
indicator should remain ON
and the engine should not be running.
11. Turn ON electric devices such as headlamps, A/C (set to the coldest temperature) and rear window defogger to discharge the high voltage battery. Discharge is complete when the READY
indicator (B) (green) turns OFF, and the hybrid system warning indicator (C) (orange)
turns ON.
12. Move shift selector into the Park (P) position and press the ignition switch (A) to turn the system OFF.
Please contact following number if the vehicle could not be discharged. • 1-800-662-6200 (US) or 1-800-361-4792 (Canada)

SRS Air Bag System Components Location
The SRS air bag system must not be cut as there is a risk of short circuit and unintentional deployment of
the SRS However, the vehicle can be cut (except inflators) under the following conditions:• The front, side and curtain air bags have deployed.
• At least three (3) minutes have passed after the 12V battery negative (-) cable has beendisconnected and the high voltage system has been shut down.
1. Crash zone sensor (located
underhood near hood latch) 2. Supplemental front air bag
modules (Infiniti Advanced
Air Bags)3. Front seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bags
