(Vehicle Information Display) Lamp Name
Icon Description
READ
Y Indicator
(Green) This lamp is on when the high-voltage system is powered up
and
the vehicle is ready to drive.
Master Warning Lamp
(Orange or Red) This lamp is on when another warning lamp or message is
displayed
in the instrument cluster.
Hybrid System
Warning Lamp *1
(Orange) This lamp is on or blinking when:
•
Malfunction has occurred in the high-voltage system and/or
• High-voltage leak to vehicle chassis and/or
• Emergency shut-off system has been activated. The shut-off system activates in the following conditions:
– Front and side collisions in which the air bags are deployed.
– Certain rear collisions.
– Certain high-voltage system malfunctions.
*1: When this lamp is ON, the READY Indicator will turn OFF. 1 2

3-3 How to Handle a Damaged Vehicle at an Accident Scene
NO
TE:
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 QX60 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. 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.
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 12-Volt-Related Component Locations and Descriptions (FRG–11).
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 (HV) 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 (HV) 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.

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.)

3-3.5 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 and see 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.
If electrolyte solution leakage, or damage such as any problem with the high-voltage battery casing are
observed, first responders should attempt to neutralize the battery by applying a large volume of water to the
battery pack while wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) . The neutralization process
helps stabilize the thermal condition of the battery pack but does not discharge the battery.
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.
