2023 INFINITI QX55 jump cable

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below. Fail-
ure to do so could result in damage to the
charging system and cause personal injury.
1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, position the two vehicles to bring their
batteries near each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake. Engage the P (Park) position. Switch off all unnecessary
electrical systems (lights, heater, air con-
ditioner, etc.). 3. Place the ignition switch to the LOCK or
OFF position.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the se- quence illustrated (
OA,OB,OC,OD).
CAUTION
• Always connect positive (+) to positive
(+) and negative (−) to body ground (for
example, strut mounting bolt, engine lift
bracket, etc.) — not to the battery.
• Make sure the jumper cables do not
touch moving parts in the engine com-
partment and that the cable clamps do
not contact any other metal. 5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and
let it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster ve- hicle at about 2,000 rpm and start the
engine of the vehicle being jump started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does
not start right away, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait 3 to 4
seconds before trying again.
7. After starting the engine, carefully discon- nect the negative cable and then the posi-
tive cable.

6. After the engine cools down, check thecoolant level in the engine coolant reser-
voir tank with the engine running. Add
coolant to the engine coolant reservoir
tank if necessary. Have your vehicle re-
paired. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. When towing your vehicle, all jurisdictions
and local regulations for towing must be fol-
lowed. Incorrect towing equipment could
damage your vehicle. Towing instructions are
available from an INFINITI retailer. Local ser-
vice operators are generally familiar with the
applicable laws and procedures for towing.
To assure proper towing and to prevent ac-
cidental damage to your vehicle, INFINITI
recommends having a service operator tow
your vehicle. It is advisable to have the service
operator carefully read the following
precautions:
WARNING
• Never ride in a vehicle that is being
towed.
• Never get under your vehicle after it has
been lifted by a tow truck.
CAUTION
• When towing, make sure that the trans-
mission, axles, steering system and pow-
ertrain are in working condition. Use dol-
lies or flatbed if any of the listed systems
are not working.
• Always attach safety chains before
towing. For additional information about towing your
vehicle behind a Recreational Vehicle (RV),
see “Flat towing for all wheel drive vehicle”
(P. 10-20).
NOTE:
If the battery is completely drained, the
transmission will not manually shift to other
positions. For shifting to other positions,
charge the battery or supply power follow-
ing the jump starting procedure. Push the
park button to shift to the P (Park) position
before shifting to other positions.

JUMP STARTING
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump start-
ing” (P. 6-5). If the engine does not start by
jump starting, the battery may have to be
replaced. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
CAUTION
• Do not ground accessories directly to the
battery terminal. Doing so will bypass
the variable voltage control system and
the vehicle battery may not charge
completely.
• Use electrical accessories with the en-
gine running to avoid discharging the ve-
hicle battery.
NOTE:
If the battery is completely drained the
transmission will not manually shift to other
positions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a variable volt-
age control system. This system measures
the amount of electrical discharge from the
battery and controls voltage generated by
the generator.
The current sensor
OAis located near the
battery along the negative battery cable. If
you add electrical accessories to your vehicle,
be sure to ground them to a suitable body
ground such as the frame or engine block
area.
