No. Component Location Description DC/DC Converter Cargo area floor
(mounted right of
Li-ion battery) The DC/DC converter reduces the voltage of
the Li-ion battery to provide power to the 12V
battery in order to operate the vehicle’s electric
components (headlights, audio system, etc.) .
Service Plug Cargo area floor
(inside storage bin
behind access door) This is used to disable the high voltage system.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion)Battery Cargo area floor
(under 3rd row
seating floor trim) The Li-ion battery stores and outputs DC
power (Maximum voltage 144V) needed to
propel the vehicle.
Traction Motor Engine compart-
ment (built-into thetransmission) Converts three-phase alternating current (AC)
power to drive power (torque) which propels
the vehicle.
Traction MotorInverter Engine compart-
ment (front driverside) Converts the DC power stored in the Li-ion
battery to three-phase AC power and controls
motor torque (revolution) by regulating the
motor current. The inverter has a built in high
voltage capacitor.
12V Battery Engine compart-
ment (front driverside) A lead-acid battery that supplies power to the
low voltage devices.
High Voltage Har-ness Cargo area (on
Li-ion battery) ,
under floor, enginecompartment Orange-colored power cables carry high DC
voltage between each of the high voltage com-ponents.
2-3 Li-ion Battery Pack Specifications
Li-ion Battery Specifications
Li-ion battery voltage 144V
Number of Li-ion battery modules in the pack 3 modules (40 cells)
Li-ion battery module voltage 48V each
Li-ion battery dimensions 36.31 x 22.07 x 6.52 in. (922.3 x 560.5 x 165.6 mm)
Li-ion battery weight 62.4 lbs (28.3 kg)

When arriving to an incident involving an INFINITI QX60 HYBRID, the vehicle should be approached with
caution and inspected for the level of damage. In addition to overall vehicle condition (location and severity
of body damage, air bag deployment, etc.) , the high-voltage system should be assessed specifically. The
locations of the high-voltage component parts are illustrated in this FRG. Refer to
2-2 High Voltage-Related
and 12V-Related Component Locations and Descriptions (FRG–12)
. Appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) must always be worn when approaching a vehicle of unknown condition, as described in
this FRG.
Situation 1) High voltage system intact, occupants can be accessed without extrication tools
The HV system can be shut down by following the procedure in this guide, while wearing appropriate PPE.
After HV system shut down, occupant assistance can begin immediately, and no wait period is necessary.
Situation 2) High voltage system intact, occupants cannot be accessed without extrication tools
The HV system can be shut down by following the procedure in this guide, while wearing appropriate PPE.
After HV system shut down, absolute care must be taken never to cut through or damage any HV system
wiring, battery or components within approximately ten (10) minutes of HV system shut down ,
but occupant assistance operations using extrication equipment can begin immediately. The locations of the
HV components are illustrated in this guide.
Situation 3) High-voltage (HV) system damaged
If there is any evidence that the HV system has been compromised (such as arcing/sparking, orange wiring
harnesses cut or damaged, HV component casings damaged, etc.) , the responder may still be at risk of
high voltage exposure. The vehicle must be approached with extreme caution prior to initiating any system
shut down procedures or rendering assistance to occupants. Appropriate PPE must always be worn as
described in this guide, and the approximate ten (10) minute wait time must be observed after HV
system shut down in order to ensure the system is de-energized.
In rare situations where vehicle damage is very severe, HV system shut down procedures as described in
this guide may not work. In these instances extreme caution and appropriate risk management must be
followed to prevent shock or electrocution to the responder or occupant.
3-3.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure
Any of the following procedures can shut down the high voltage system. The first response operation should
only begin after shutting down the high voltage system. If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the
Li-ion battery is deformed, broken or cracked, appropriate PPE must always be used and the Li-ion battery
and high voltage components must not be touched. PPE must always be worn when touching or working on
high voltage components. FRG–20

SRS Air Bag System Components Location
Avoid cutting air bag system parts. 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.
= Inflators (Peel back plastic trim parts prior to cutting operation to confirm exact inflator location.)
