1. About the Rogue HYBRID
This
hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) uses two types of batteries. One is a 12-volt battery that is the same as
the battery in vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. The 12-volt battery is located behind
the second row seat with battery cable access underneath the cargo area luggage board. The other is the
high-voltage battery for the traction motor which propels the vehicle. The high-voltage battery is located
behind the second row seat with service plug access through the cargo area storage bin.
When the high-voltage battery level is low, engine output is used to generate power from the traction motor
and charge the high-voltage battery. Additionally, the vehicle system can recharge the high-voltage battery
by converting driving force into electricity while the vehicle is decelerating or being driven downhill. This
is called regenerative charging.

3-3.1 High-voltage System Shut-Down Procedure
Any
of the following procedures can shut down the high-voltage system. The first response operation can
only begin after shutting down the high-voltage system. If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the
high-voltage battery is deformed, broken or cracked, appropriate PPE must always be used and the
high-voltage battery and high-voltage components must not be touched. DANGER
• Failure to properly shut down the high-voltage system before the Emergency
Response
Procedures are performed will result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock. To prevent serious injury or death, NEVER touch high-voltage
harnesses or components without always wearing appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) . Appropriate PPE must always be worn when touching or working on
high-voltage components.
• When contact with high-voltage components or high-voltage harnesses is
unavoidable,
or when there is risk of such contact, you must always wear appropriate
PPE. PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high-voltage
components. • 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 12V 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 12V 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. FRG–21
