2-2 High Voltage-Related and 12-Volt-Related Component Locations and Descriptions
NOTE:Components with white number in black background are high voltage components.
No. Component Location Description
High Voltage Bat- tery Trunk area (behind
rear seat back) The high voltage battery stores and outputs
DC power (Maximum voltage 400V) needed to
propel the vehicle.
DC/DC Converter Trunk area (mounted
to top of high volt-
age battery) The DC/DC converter reduces the voltage of
the high voltage battery to provide power to
the 12-volt battery in order to operate the vehi-
cle’s electric components (headlights, audio
system, etc.) .

No. Component Location Description Service Plug Trunk area (below
parcel shelf; behind
access door in trimpanel) This is used to disable the high voltage system.
12-volt Battery Trunk area (below
parcel shelf; behind
trim panel left of
high voltage battery) A lead-acid battery that supplies power to the
low voltage devices.
High Voltage Har-nesses Trunk area (on high
voltage battery) ,
under floor pan,
engine compartment Orange-colored power cables carry high DC
voltage between each of the high voltage com-ponents.
Electric Air Condi-
tioner Compressor Engine compart-
ment (front driverside) Air conditioner compressor
Traction MotorInverter Engine compart-
ment (right rearside) Converts the DC power stored in the high volt-
age battery to three-phase AC power and con-
trols motor torque (revolution) by regulating the
motor current. The inverter has a built in high
voltage capacitor.
Traction Motor Built-into the trans-
mission Converts three-phase alternating current (AC)
power to drive power (torque) which propels
the vehicle.

3-2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Insulated Tools
3-2.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective Wear Control
Perform an inspection of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) items before beginning work. Do not use
any damaged PPE items.
3-2.2 Daily Inspection
This inspection is performed before and after use. The worker who will be using the items should perform
the inspection and check for deterioration and damage.• Insulated rubber gloves should be inspected for scratches, holes and tears. (Visual check and airleakage test)
• Insulated safety boots should be inspected for holes, damage, nails, metal pieces, wear or other problems on the soles. (Visual check)
• Insulated rubber sheet should be inspected for tears. (Visual check)
3-2.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
3-3 Discharge Procedures
DANGER
Do not perform this procedure if the battery is damaged. If you are unsure of battery
damage, use extreme caution and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) .
High voltage battery discharging must take place before dismantling. Sufficient discharging can be achieved
by following these steps. 1. Place the shift selector into the Park (P) position
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Set wheel chocks to ensure the vehicle is completely stopped.
4. Fasten the driver seat belt and close the driver door.
5. Apply foot brake and press the ignition switch to turn the system ON. Confirm READY
indicator in instrument cluster turns ON.a. If the engine starts, leave the engine on until idling stops.
b. If the engine does NOT start, move on to next step.
6. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
7. Push down the shift lock (B) as shown in the illustration.
8. Push the shift selector button (C) and move the shift selector to Neutral (N) position (D) while holding down
the shift lock.
NOTE:
DO NOT press accelerator or foot brake after
moving the shift selector to the Neutral (N)
position. Otherwise high-voltage battery will start
to be charged.

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-
impact supplemental air bags
4. Occupant classification sensor
(pattern sensor) 5. Occupant classification system

7. Roof-mounted curtain side-
impact supplemental air bags 8. Roof-mounted curtain side-
impact supplemental air bag infla-tors9. RH satellite sensor
10. Air bag control unit (ACU) 11. LH seat belt with pretensioner 12. LH Satellite sensor

4-1 Jump Starting Procedures
NOTE:Jumper 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.
