2014 INFINITI Q70 HYBRID lock

3-1.3 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 Vehicle Immobilization and Stabilization
Apply the parking brake and stabilize the vehicle with a wheel chock(s) or deflate the tires. Put support
material such as wooden blocks or utilize the Lift Airbag Equipment for rescue. • To avoid electrical shock, do not put the Lift Airbag Equipment for rescue and wheel
chock(s)
under the high voltage components and harnesses.
3-3 How to Handle a Damaged Vehicle at an Accident Scene
NOTE:
If any air bags have deployed in the following 3 situations, the high-voltage (HV) system has
been designed to automatically shut off at the time of deployment.
The INFINITI Q70 HYBRID high-voltage system incorporates capacitors which are energized whenever the
high-voltage system is on. If the high-voltage system is shut down (either through one of the built-in
automatic mechanisms or manually through one of the procedures explained in this FRG) , the capacitors
will begin to gradually discharge. After 5 minutes, the voltage level will have dropped below 60V, and
complete discharge requires approximately 10 minutes after high-voltage system shut down. It is within this
period of time that responders must be most cautious. AAYIA0016ZZ
FRG–18

• The vehicle contains parts that contain powerful magnets. If a person who is wearing a
pacemaker or other medical device is close to these parts, the medical device may be
affected by the magnets. Such persons must not perform work on the vehicle.
• Be sure to check the READY indicator (1) in the instrument cluster, and verify that the READY indicator is off and the high voltage system is stopped.
• After the high voltage system is shut down, please wait for approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor. While waiting, do not operate
any vehicle functions.
• Remove the 12V battery negative (-) terminal and wait for three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even though the 12V battery negative (-) is disconnected, the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag maintains voltage for three (3) minutes.
There is a possibility of sudden SRS air bag inflation due to harness short circuit or
damage and it may cause serious injuries.
• The 12V system will remain active even after the 12V battery negative (-) terminal is removed while the high voltage system is active. This is because the DC/DC converter will
not shut down and power will be supplied to the 12V system and high voltage system
continuously.
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column,
adjust the seats, unlock the doors, open the trunk, etc. as required. Once the 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
Powering Down the High Voltage System
The high voltage system can be shut down with any 1 of the following procedures: • Turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Primary Procedure (FRG–21).
•

Remove the fuse for the high voltage control system and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Alter-
nate

Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (FRG–23) .
•

Remove the service plug and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove
Service

Plug) (FRG–25) .FRG–20

Primary Procedure
NO
TE:
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the
steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
1. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to the next steps to open the trunk for 12V
battery negative cable access.
4. If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least 5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except as noted
below) .
5. Open the trunk using any of the following: a. push-button switch (C) on the lower LH side ofthe instrument panel.
b. trunk button (D) on the Infiniti Intelligent Key [press for longer than one (1) second].
c. trunk open request switch (E) (located above license plate)*.
d. with the mechanical key (F) housed inside the Infiniti Intelligent Key.
* You must have the Infiniti Intelligent Key within approximately 1 meter (3 feet) range of
trunk request switch to use the trunk open request switch function. AAYIA0062ZZ

Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses)
NO
TE:
Before removing any fuses, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column,
adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once fuses are removed, power controls will not
operate.
1. Pull release handle (A) to open the hood.
2. Remove fuse box cover (B) .
3. Remove 80A fuse (C) (black) .
4. If you cannot identify the fuse (C) , remove all fuses in the fuse box. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the rescuer should carry the fuse or fuses on his/her person and cover the fuse
box with insulated tape. AAYIA0004GB
FRG–23

Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug)
• Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) to help protect the responder from serious injury or death
by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. The Li-ion battery
retains
high voltage power even when the service plug is removed. To avoid electric
shock, NEVER touch the terminals inside the socket. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the rescuer should carry the service plug on his/her person while work is in
progress.
NOTE: Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the
steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
1. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to the next steps to open the trunk for 12V
battery negative cable access. AAYIA0062ZZ

6. Open the 12V battery service access cover (G) .
7.
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable (H) and cover it with insulated tape.
8. Open service plug access cover (J) .
9. Remove the service plug (K) by pressing the locking tab (L) and rotating the handle (M) fully outward (N) . Using the handle, pull the service plug (P) completely out of its socket. AAYIA0035ZZ

3-3.6 Accessing the Occupants
1. Remove windowsa. Perform window removal the same as a normal vehicle.
2. Remove doors a. The doors are removable with hand tools or basic rescue tools such as electrical/hydraulicrescue tools. It may be easier to remove the doors by cutting door hinges.
3. Adjust steering wheel and front seat position (if necessary) as shown below:
4. Remove front seat head restraint (if necessary) .
The front seat head restraint can be removed by
pressing the lock knob and pulling it up.
5. Unfasten the seat belt. Seat belt can be unfastened by pressing the release
button. If seat belt cannot be unfastened, cut it with
a belt cutter.
