WARNING
In case of a collision:
.If your vehicle is drivable, pull your
vehicle off the road, put the transmis-
sion in the P (Park) position, apply the
parking brake and turn the INFINITI
Direct Response Hybrid
®System off.
. Check to see if there are exposed high
voltage parts and cables. Never touch
the parts and cables. For their locations,
see “High voltage components” (P.Hy-
brid System-9). To avoid personal injury,
never touch high-voltage wiring, con-
nectors, and other high-voltage parts,
such as electric motor inverter and
Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery. An electric
shock may occur if exposed electric
wires are visible when viewed from
inside or outside of your vehicle. There-
fore, never touch exposed electric wires.
. If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle
in a safe location and check the floor.
. Inspect the ground under the vehicle. If
liquid has leaked onto the ground, the
fuel system may have been damaged. Leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
. Leaks or damage to the Li-ion battery
may result in a fire. If you discover them,
contact emergency services immedi-
ately. Since the fluid leak may be lithium
organic electrolyte from the Li-ion bat-
tery, never touch the fluid leak inside or
outside the vehicle. If the fluid contacts
your skin or eyes, wash it off immedi-
ately with a large amount of water and
receive immediate medical attention to
help avoid serious injury.
. If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle,
leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Only use a type ABC, BC or C fire
extinguisher that is meant for use on
electrical fires. Using water or the
incorrect fire extinguisher can result in
serious injury or death from electrical
shock.
. If you are not able to safely assess the
vehicle due to vehicle damage, do not
touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and
contact emergency services. Advise 1st
responders that this is a hybrid vehicle.
. In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle
should be delivered to an INFINITI retailer to have the Li-ion battery pack
and high voltage parts such as the
inverter, including the wiring harness,
removed prior to painting. Li-ion battery
packs exposed to heat in the paint booth
will experience capacity loss. Damaged
Li-ion battery packs may also pose
safety risks to untrained mechanics
and repair personnel.
