tion.
If the hybrid system still does not start,
contact an INFINITI retailer. To start your INFINITI Direct Response
HybridTMSystem with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below
must be followed.
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 Lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery to be charged. Jump starting does
not charge the Li-ion battery.
WARNING

lead to a 12-volt battery explosion,
resulting in severe injury or death. It
could also damage your vehicle.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is always pre-
sent in the vicinity of the 12-volt battery.
Make sure that 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 which
can cause severe burns. If the fluid
should come into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted area
with water. .
Keep the 12-volt battery out of the reach
of children.
. The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an improperly rated battery
can damage your vehicle.
. Whenever working on or near a 12-volt
battery, always wear suitable eye pro-
tectors (for example, goggles or indus-
trial safety spectacles) and remove
rings, metal bands, or any other jewelry.
