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 dismantler 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 dismantler 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. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to step 5 to open the trunk for 12-volt
battery negative cable access.

4. If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except as
noted below) .
5. Open the trunk using any of the following: a. push-button switch (C) on the lower LH side of the instrument panel.
b. trunk button (D) on the Infiniti Intelligent Key [press for longer than one (1) second].
c. trunk open request switch (E) (located above license plate)*.
d. with the mechanical key (F) housed inside the Infiniti Intelligent Key.

6. Open the 12-volt battery service access cover (G) .
7. Disconnect negative (-) battery cable (H) and cover it with insulated tape.
8. Open service plug access cover (J) .
9. Remove the service plug (K) by pressing the locking tab (L) and rotating the handle (M) fullyoutward (N) . Using the handle, pull the service plug (P) completely out of its socket.
10. Cover the service plug socket with insulated tape.

3-4.2 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. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when
touching or working on high-voltage components.
To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury or
death, the dismantler should carry the fuses or service plug on his/her person while work
is in progress.
Do not cut air bag parts to avoid unintended deployment of the air bags and the risk of
severe personal injury or death.
If approximately (10) minutes have passed since the dismantler shut down the high voltage system [refer
to
3-4.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure (DG–19)], then the dismantler can cut the vehicle
except for the high voltage battery.
DO NOT cut the high voltage battery due to possible electrocution risk and electrolyte solution leakage.
DG–29

SRS Air Bag System Components Location
The SRS air bag system must not be cut as there is a risk of short circuit and unintentional deployment of
the SRS 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.
1. Crash zone sensor 2. Supplemental front air bag modules (Infiniti Advanced Air Bags)3. Front seat-mounted side-

3-4.3 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.
3-4.4 Vehicle Fire
• Always utilize full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and self-contained breathing apparatus during fire fighting operations. Smoke from a Q70 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.
In case of vehicle fire, contact fire department immediately and extinguish the fire if possible. 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 that contains a high voltage system and warn all others. DG–32
