4-1.1 Jump Starting Procedures
NOTE:Jumper cable connections under the hood of the Q50 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 the12-volt battery and fuse box into close proximity to each other.
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. Remove fuse box cover on the Q50 HYBRID and connect jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated ( ) .
For models with a steering wheel lock mechanism:
If the 12-volt battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be
turned. Supply power using jumper cables before pushing the ignition switch and disengaging
the steering lock.
• 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.

4-4 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
The Q50 is factory equipped with run-flat tires. It is not equipped with a jack or spare tire as standard equipment.
However, the following jacking instructions apply when using the optional Infiniti jack.
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 onlevel 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.
1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so the top of the jack contacts thevehicle at the jack-up point. Align the jack head between the two notches in the front or the rear
as shown. Also fit the groove of the jack head between the notches as shown. The jack
should be used on level firm ground.

2. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by turning it counterclockwise with the wheel nutwrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tire is off the ground.
3. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands as shown. Carefully raise the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire.
4. Install new or repaired tire and hand-tighten the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench in an alternating pattern.
Always follow these instructions when changing a tire:
• Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheelnuts can cause the wheel to become loose or come
off. This could cause an accident.
• Do not use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts to become loose.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or death and/or vehicle damage.
5. Securely torque the wheel nuts in an alternating pattern to 80 ft-lb (108 Nm) .
6. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack and securely store the flat tire, tools and jackingequipment in the vehicle.
Always follow these instructions when using the jacking equipment or after changing a tire:
• Always make sure that the spare tire and jacking equipment are properly secured after
use. Such items can become dangerous projectiles in an accident or sudden stop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
NOTE:
To help prevent squeaks and rattles, check that the tools are reinstalled and properly secured
in the stored place after use.
