2017 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID First Responder´s

Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses)
NO
TE:
Before removing any fuses, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column,
adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once fuses are removed, power controls will not
operate.
1. Pull release handle (1) and pull up release lever (2) to open the hood.
2. Release clips (A) and remove fuse box cover (1) . : Vehicle front
3.

Remove IGCT RLY fuse (F/L V IGCT RLY 50A) .
4. If you cannot identify the correct fuse, remove all the fuses. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of
electrical
shock and severe personal injury or death, the
rescuer should carry the fuse or fuses on his/her person
and cover the fuse box with insulated tape. AAYIA0272ZZ

Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove Service Plug)
• Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) to help protect the responder 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 rescuer 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. If possible, check the READY indicator status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high-
voltage

system is active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch once to turn OFF the high- voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator
is off.
If the READY indicator does not turn off, continue to
step 4. AAYIA0191ZZ

4. If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least
5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except to open
the liftgate as noted below) .
5. Open the liftgate using any of the following: a. liftgate switch on the lower LH side of theinstrument panel.
b. liftgate button on the Infiniti Intelligent Key [press for longer than one (1) second].
c. liftgate opener switch (A) (located above license plate)* AAYIA0340ZZ

d. If the liftgate cannot be opened with the
instrument panel switch, liftgate opener switch,
or key fob due to a discharged battery, follow
these steps:
• Remove the cover (A) on the inside of the liftgate.
• Move the lever (B) as illustrated to open liftgate.
* You must have the Infiniti Intelligent Key within approximately 1 meter (3 feet) range of
liftgate opener switch to use the liftgate opener switch function.
6. Open luggage board in the cargo area using the handle (A) .
7. Open service plug access cover. AAYIA0316ZZ

8. Remove the service plug (A) by pulling the locking lever (B) , then pressing the locking tab (C)
and rotating the handle (D) fully outward. Using the handle, pull the service plug (E) completely
out of its socket.
9. Wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high-voltage capacitor
after the service plug has been removed.
10. Pull release handle (1) and pull up release lever (2) to open hood. AAYIA0202ZZ

11. Remove traction motor inverter cover (1) .
12.
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable and cover it with
insulated tape.
13. Perform the first response action.
3-3.2 Water Submersion 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. AAYIA0273ZZ

3-3.3 Vehicle Fire
• Always utilize appropriate full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and self-contained
breathing apparatus during fire fighting operations. Smoke from a QX60 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.
Fire attack should follow standard fire fighting practices.
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 and contains a high-voltage system and warn all others.
During overhaul operations (late stage fire suppression process to examine for remaining sources of heat) ,
make sure the battery is fully cooled to avoid fire re-ignition. The battery could reignite if it is placed near fire.
To avoid possible electrical shock and serious personal injury, do not breach the high-voltage battery case.
