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. 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.
4. If possible, keep the Nissan Intelligent Key
®at least
5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except to
open the liftgate as noted below) . AAYIA0516ZZ

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–22)], 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.
