2015 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID First Responder´s

Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug)
DANGER
•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 high voltage
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 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust
the steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12-volt battery is
disconnected, power controls will not operate.
1. If possible, check the READY
indicator status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high
voltage system is active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator
is off.
If the READY indicator does not turn off, continue to the
next steps.

4. If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except to
open the liftgate as noted below) .
5. Open the liftgate using any of the following: a. liftgate switch on the lower LH side of theinstrument panel.
b. liftgate button on the Infiniti Intelligent Key [press for longer than one (1) second].
c. liftgate opener switch (located above license plate)*

d. If the liftgate cannot be opened with theinstrument panel switch, liftgate opener switch,
or key fob due to a discharged battery, follow
these steps:
• Remove the cover (A) on the inside of the
liftgate.
• Move the lever (B) as illustrated to open liftgate.
* You must have the Infiniti Intelligent Key within approximately 1 meter (3 feet) range of
liftgate opener switch to use the liftgate opener switch function.
6. Open luggage board.

8. Remove the service plug (A) by pulling the locking lever (B) , then pressing the locking tab (C)and rotating the handle (D) fully outward. Using the handle, pull the service plug (E) completely
out of its socket.
9. Wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor
after the service plug has been removed.
10. Pull release handle (1) and pull up release lever (2) to open hood.
11. Remove traction motor inverter cover (1) .

13. Perform the first response action.
3-3.2 Water Submersion
DANGER
Damage level of submerged vehicle may not be apparent. Handling a submerged
vehicle without appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will result in serious
injury or death from electrical shock.
•The ignition switch of the submerged vehicle must be turned OFF first, if possible.
Then the vehicle must be completely out of the water and drained to avoid electrical shock.
•
Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and remove/drain
water before removing the service plug when working on a vehicle after a fire or
submersion to avoid electrical shock.
•
If the vehicle is in the water, to avoid electrical shock NEVER touch the high voltage
components, harnesses or service plug. PPE must always be worn when touching or
working on high voltage components.

3-3.3 Vehicle Fire
• Always utilize full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and self-contained breathingapparatus during fire fighting operations. Smoke from a QX60 HYBRID vehicle fire is
similar to smoke from a conventional vehicle fire.
• In the case of extinguishing a fire with water, large amounts of water from a fire hydrant (if possible) must be used. DO NOT extinguish fire with a small amount of water.
In the event of a small fire, a Type ABC fire extinguisher may be used for an electrical fire
caused by wiring harnesses, electrical components, etc. or oil fire.
Fire attack should follow standard fire fighting practices.
If you must walk away from the vehicle, notify an appropriate responder or a rescue person of the fact that
the vehicle is a hybrid vehicle and contains a high voltage system and warn all others.
During overhaul operations (late stage fire suppression process to examine for remaining sources of heat) ,
make sure the battery is fully cooled to avoid fire re-ignition. The battery could reignite if it is placed near fire.
To avoid possible electrical shock and serious personal injury, do not breach the high voltage battery case.
3-3.4 Cutting the Vehicle Body
DANGER
•Do not cut into high voltage related areas to avoid severe personal injury or death.
•
Do not cut into the high voltage battery to avoid severe personal injury or death.
•
When removing parts, NEVER touch the high voltage parts or the insides of the
exposed orange-colored high voltage cables to avoid severe personal injury or
death. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when touching or
working on high voltage components.
Do not cut air bag parts to avoid unintended deployment of the air bags and the risk of
severe personal injury or death.
If at least approximately ten (10) minutes have passed since the rescuer shut down the high voltage
system [refer to
3-3.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure (FRG–20)], then the rescuer can cut
the vehicle except for the high voltage battery.
If the rescuer cannot wait approximately ten (10) minutes or shut down the high voltage
system, absolute care must be taken to avoid cutting HV parts and appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be worn.DO NOT cut the high voltage battery due to
possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution leakage. FRG–30

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 12-volt 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.)
