3-7 High Voltage Battery Damage And Fluid Leaks
The high voltage battery contains electrolyte solution. To avoid exposure to electrolyte
solution and serious personal injury, always wear appropriate solvent resistant Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and read the following precautions:
• Electrolyte solution is a skin irritant.
• Electrolyte solution is an eye irritant – If contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water andsee a doctor immediately.
• If electrolyte leak occurs, wear appropriate solvent resistant PPE and use a dry cloth to clean up the spilled electrolyte. Be sure to adequately ventilate the area.
• Electrolyte solution is highly flammable.
• Electrolyte liquid or fumes that have come into contact with water vapors in the air will create an oxidized substance. This substance may irritate skin and eyes. In these cases,
rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• Electrolyte fumes (when inhaled) can cause respiratory irritation and acute intoxication. Move to fresh air and wash mouth with water. See a doctor immediately.
In cases of battery case breach or electrolyte leakage, contact the fire department immediately. If you must
walk away from the vehicle, notify an appropriate responder of the fact that the vehicle is a hybrid vehicle
and contains a high voltage system and warn all others.
High Voltage Battery Electrolyte Solution Characteristics: • Clear in color
• Sweet odor
• Similar viscosity to water
• Since the high voltage battery is made up of many small sealed battery modules, electrolyte solutionleakage should be minimal.
NOTE:
Other fluids in the vehicle (such as engine oil, washer fluid, brake fluid, coolant, etc.) are
the same as those in a conventional vehicle.

4-1.1 Jump Starting ProceduresJumper cable connections under the hood of the Q70 HYBRID are not connected directly to
a battery. They are connected to chassis ground and a fuse box terminal. Refer to the
following instructions and the above illustration. 1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle (A) , position the two vehicles (A) and (B) to bring thebattery of booster vehicle (A) and the fuse box of jumped vehicle (B) into close proximity to eachother.
DO NOT allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake. Move the selector lever the P (Park) position. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (headlights, heater, air conditioner, etc.) .
3. Place the ignition switch in the “OFF” position.
• Always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to body ground (for example, as illustrated) , not to the 12-volt battery.
• Make sure the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the engine compartment and that the cable clamps do not contact any other metal.
• If the hybrid system does not start right away, push the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait ten (10) seconds before trying again.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated [(1) , (2) , (3) , (4)].
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle (A) and let it run for a few minutes.
6. Start the hybrid system of the jumped vehicle (B) in the normal manner.
7. After the hybrid system is started, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the opposite sequence from that illustrated [(4) , (3) , (2) , (1)].
NOTE:
If it is not possible to turn the hybrid system ON by following this procedure, it is
recommended you contact an INFINITI retailer immediately.
8. Put the fuse cover and the engine compartment cover back to the original location.

booster battery is not available, the selector lever lock can be manually released. To manually release the
selector lever lock, perform the following procedure:1. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK or OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
4. Push down the shift lock (B) as shown in the illustration.
5. Push the selector lever button (C) and move the selectorlever to the Neutral (N) position (D) while holding down
the shift lock.

4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Infiniti strongly recommends that Q70 HYBRID be towed with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground or
that a dolly be used as illustrated.
• Never tow with any of the wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the ignition switch OFF.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the vehicle recovery hook or main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down hook to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down hook or recovery hook.
• Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, high voltage or cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.

3. Attach the winch cable securely to the recovery hook.
Failure to securely attach the winch cable to the recovery hook may result in serious
personal injury or death and/or vehicle damage.4. Make sure the winch cable remains fully connected to the recovery hook and does not interferewith surrounding area, take up the slack from the cable.
5. Release the parking brake.
6. Place the selector lever in the N (Neutral) position. Refer to
4-1.2 Shift Selector Lever Lock
Release (RAG–22)
.
7. Carefully pull the vehicle onto the flatbed.
8. Be careful not to pull the vehicle too close to the winch. Doing so will cause excessive downward force being
applied to the recovery hook. Too much downward force
may result in vehicle damage. Lower the flatbed and
finish rolling the vehicle forward if necessary.
9. Secure the vehicle to the flatbed by using wheel baskets at all 4 wheel positions.
10. Make sure that the vehicle recovery hook is properly secured in its original position after use and the recovery
hook cover has been reinstalled properly.
NOTE:
To help prevent squeaks and rattles, check that
the tools are reinstalled and properly secured
in the stored place after use.

Rear Tie Down Hook:• Do not use the rear tie down hook for towing or vehiclerecovery.
• The rear tie down hook is designed to secure the vehicle during transport only, as illustrated.
4-4 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
Always follow these instructions when jacking up the vehicle and changing a tire:
• Never change a tire when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. Jack must be on level ground.
• Make sure the parking brake is securely applied and shift selector is in P (Park) position.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any other part of the vehicle for jack support.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack.
• Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the vehicle to move. This is especially true for vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off the ground. It may cause the vehicle to move.
• Be sure to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being removed as the vehicle may move and result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
