• The vehicle contains parts that contain powerful magnets. If a person who is wearing
a
pacemaker or other medical device is close to these parts, the medical device may be
affected by the magnets. Such persons must not perform work on the vehicle.
• Be sure to verify that the READY indicator is off (if possible) , and the high-voltage
system
is stopped.
• After the high-voltage system is shut down, please wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high-voltage capacitor. While waiting, do not operate any
vehicle functions.
NOTE:
The high-voltage full discharge takes approximately ten (10) minutes.
• After shutting down the high-voltage system and removing the 12-volt battery negative (-) terminal, wait at least three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even though
the 12-volt battery negative (-) is disconnected, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
air bag maintains voltage at least three (3) minutes. During this time, there is a possibility
of sudden SRS air bag inflation due to harness short circuit or damage and it may cause
serious injuries.
• The 12-volt system will remain active even after the 12-volt battery negative (-) terminal is removed while the high-voltage system is active.This is because the charging system will
not shut down and power will be supplied to the 12-volt system and high-voltage system
continuously.
Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering
column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, open the liftgate, etc. as required. Once the 12-volt battery is
disconnected, power controls will not operate.
Powering Down the High-Voltage System
The high-voltage system can be shut down with any 1 of the following procedures: • Turn OFF the ignition switch and disconnect the 12-volt battery.Refer to Primary Procedure (FRG–23) .
•
Remove the underhood fuse for the high-voltage control system and disconnect the 12-volt battery.
Refer to Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (FRG–25).
•
Remove the service plug and disconnect the 12-volt battery. Refer to Alternate Procedure 2
(Remove
Service Plug) (FRG–27) .

Primary Procedure
NO
TE:
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. Verify that the READY indicator is off
and then continue to the next steps to open the hood
for 12-volt battery negative cable access.
If the READY indicator does not turn off, refer to
Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (FRG–25).
4.
If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least
5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle. AAYIA0191ZZ

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
