6. Remove the shift lock cover using a suitable tool.
7.
Push down the shift lock as shown in the illustration.
8. Push the shift selector button and move the shift selector to Neutral (N) position 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.
NOTE:
The engine must not be running at this time. If the engine has restarted, repeat the
previous steps.
9. Release the parking brake. The READY indicator should remain ON and the engine should
not
be running.
10.
Turn ON electric devices such as headlamps, A/C (set to the coldest temperature) and rear window
defogger to discharge the high-voltage battery. Allow approximately 15 minutes to discharge. After
several minutes during discharge, the hybrid system warning indicator
(C)(orange)
will flash
and the message Li-ion battery low is displayed. Discharge is complete when READY indicator
(B)(green)
and hybrid system warning indicator
(C)(orange) both turn OFF, and
message “Li-ion battery low” is replaced with Warning Shift to Park Press Brake & Start . AAYIA0551ZZ

4. Jump Starting
T
o start the hybrid system with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed. If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a 12-volt battery explosion, resulting in severe
personal
injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
Jump starting provides power to the 12-volt system to allow the electrical systems to operate. The electrical
systems must be operating to allow the high-voltage battery to be charged. Jump starting does not charge
the high-voltage battery.
Discharged 12-volt battery may cause the following issues: • The instrument cluster cannot be displayed while the ignition switch is turned ON. (The hybridsystem cannot start.)
• Headlamps, horn, etc. are weak. • To avoid electrical shock, the high-voltage battery CANNOT be jump started.
•
Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the 12-volt battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the 12-volt battery. Make sure the vent tube is mounted.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area
with water.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage the vehicle.
• Whenever working on or near a 12-volt battery, always wear suitable eye protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or any
other jewelry. Do not lean over the 12-volt battery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
• Rogue HYBRID is equipped with an automatic cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and other objects away from it.
• Always follow the jump starting instructions below. Failure to do so could result in damage to the charging system and cause personal injury.
