2014 INFINITI Q50 HYBRID trunk

Hybrid System-2Hybrid System Overview
The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®
System combines the power of a gasoline
engine and an electric motor to help
minimize fuel consumption and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the
vehicle runs on a combination of the
gasoline engine and the electric motor,
whichever is best for those conditions.
Because the gasoline engine charges the
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, the
battery does not have to be charged from
an outside source like an all-electric
vehicle.WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium ion
(Li-ion) high voltage battery. If the Li-ion
battery is disposed of improperly, there is a
risk of severe burns and electrical shock
that may result in serious injury or death
and there is also a risk of environmental
damage.
CAUTION
.Do not misuse the Li-ion battery.
. Do not use the Li-ion battery for any
other purpose.
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the
electric motors in the INFINITI Direct
Response Hybrid
®System.
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life.
Contact your INFINITI retailer for informa-
tion about recycling or disposal of the
battery.
WARNING
. The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®
System uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately 408 volts. The system can be hot
during and after starting. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the high
temperature. Obey the warning labels
attached to the vehicle.
. Never disassemble, remove or replace
high-voltage parts and harnesses as
well as their connectors. Doing so can
cause severe burns or electric shock that
may result in serious injury or death.
High-voltage harnesses are colored or-
ange. The vehicle high voltage system
has no user serviceable parts. Take your
vehicle to an INFINITI retailer for any
necessary maintenance.
. Never try to remove the service plug
located in the trunk. The service plug is
used only when the vehicle is serviced
by trained technicians wearing personal
protection equipment and is part of the
high voltage system. Touching the ser-
vice plug can cause severe burns or
electric shock that may result in serious
injury or death.
