1. About the QX60 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 in the front of
the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment. The other is the high-voltage battery for the traction
motor which propels the vehicle. The high-voltage battery is located under the third row seating 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.

• The high-voltage battery is mounted in the cargo area under the 3rd row seating, enclosed in a metal case
and concealed by trim cover.
• The high-voltage battery stores approximately 144 volts DC.
• A vent hose is provided to exhaust gasses outside the vehicle if necessary.
• Air vents (A) are located on the cargo area trim panels for battery cooling.
The high-voltage battery supplies power to the following: • High-voltage harnesses

2-5 High-Voltage Safety System
The
high-voltage safety system is intended to help keep vehicle occupants and emergency responders safe
from high-voltage electricity. • A high-voltage fuse provides short circuit protection inside the high-voltage battery.
• The high-voltage safety system is insulated from the metal chassis.
• Positive and negative high-voltage power cables are connected to the high-voltage battery and arecontrolled by normally open system main relays (SMR1 and SMR2) . When the vehicle is shut off,
the relays stop electrical flow from leaving the high-voltage battery. However, it can take
approximately ten (10) minutes for the high-voltage capacitor to fully discharge. • The high-voltage system and high-voltage capacitor may remain powered for up to
approximately
10 minutes after the vehicle is shut off. Appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) must always be worn when touching or working on high-voltage
components to avoid risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury or death.
• The high-voltage battery retains high-voltage at all times. Appropriate PPE must
always
be worn when touching or working on high-voltage components to avoid risk
of electrical shock and severe personal injury or death.
• A ground fault monitor continuously monitors for high-voltage leakage to the metal chassis while the vehicle is running. If a malfunction is detected, the HPCM (hybrid powertrain control module) will
illuminate the hybrid system warning lamp in the instrument cluster.
•

The high-voltage battery relays (SMR1 and SMR2) will automatically open to stop the electrical flow
in a front, side or certain rear collisions that are sufficient enough to activate the supplemental
restraint system (SRS) . HPCM

3-3.5 High-Voltage Battery Damage And Fluid Leaks
The high-voltage battery contains electrolyte solution. To avoid exposure to electrolyte
solution
and serious personal injury, always wear appropriate solvent resistant Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and read the following precautions:
• Electrolyte solution is a skin irritant.
• Electrolyte solution is an eye irritant – If contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• If electrolyte leak occurs, wear appropriate solvent resistant PPE and use a dry cloth to clean up the spilled electrolyte. Be sure to adequately ventilate the area.
• Electrolyte solution is highly flammable.
• Electrolyte liquid or fumes that have come into contact with water vapors in the air will create an oxidized substance. This substance may irritate skin and eyes. In these cases,
rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• Electrolyte fumes (when inhaled) can cause respiratory irritation and acute intoxication. Move to fresh air and wash mouth with water. See a doctor immediately.
If electrolyte solution leakage, or damage such as any problem with the high-voltage battery casing are
observed, first responders should attempt to neutralize the battery by applying a large volume of water to the
battery pack while wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) . The neutralization process
helps stabilize the thermal condition of the battery pack but does not discharge the battery.
High-Voltage Battery Electrolyte Solution Characteristics: • Clear in color
• Sweet odor
• Similar viscosity to water
• Since the high-voltage battery is made up of many small sealed battery modules, electrolyte solutionleakage should be minimal.
NOTE:
Other fluids in the vehicle (such as engine oil, washer fluid, brake fluid, coolant, etc.) are
the same as those in a conventional vehicle.
