3-5 Water Submersion
DANGER
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.
•
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.
Only first responders wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should shut down the
vehicle. After shut down, standard towing/recovery procedures can be used. Refer to

4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Infiniti strongly recommends that Q70 HYBRID be towed with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground or
that a dolly be used as illustrated.
• Never tow with the rear wheels on the ground or four (4) wheels on the ground (forwardor backward) , as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the motor.
• Never tow AWD models with any of the wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the ignition switch OFF.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down hook to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down hook.
• Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, high-voltage or cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.
Perform vehicle towing by holding up drive (rear) wheels or on flatbed in order to prevent secondary
damage from voltage generated by the motor. In addition, turn the ignition switch OFF when towing the
vehicle. Refer to the following illustration:
NOTE:
It is also permissible to transport the Q70 facing rearward on a flatbed. If the vehicle cannot be
placed in Neutral, a P (Park) release procedure may be required. Refer to

4-4 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
Always follow these instructions when jacking up the vehicle and changing a tire:
• Never change a tire when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. Jack must be on level ground.
• Make sure the parking brake is securely applied and shift selector is in P (Park) position.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any other part of the vehicle for jack support.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack.
• Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the vehicle to move. This is especially true for vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off the ground. It may cause the vehicle to move.
• Be sure to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being removed as the vehicle may move and result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.

as shown. Also fit the groove of the jack head between the notches as shown. The jack
should be used on level firm ground.
2. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by turning it counterclockwise with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tire is off the ground.
3. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands as shown. Carefully raise the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire.
