4. Apply foot brake and press the ignition switch to turn the system ON. Confirm READY
indicator in instrument cluster turns ON.
a. If the engine starts, leave the engine on until idling stops.
b. If the engine does NOT start, move on to next step.
5. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
6. Push down the shift lock (B) as shown in the illustration.
7. Push the shift selector button (C) and move the shift selector to Neutral (N) position (D) while holding down
the shift lock.
NOTE:
DO NOT press accelerator or foot brake after
moving the shift selector to the Neutral (N)
position. Otherwise Li-ion battery will start to be
charged.
8. Release the parking brake.
9. Turn ON electric devices such as headlamps, A/C (set to the coldest temperature) and rear window defogger to discharge the high voltage battery. Allow approximately 15 minutes to
discharge. Discharge is complete when the READY indicator (B) (green) turns OFF and
the

hybrid system warning indicator (C) (orange) turns ON.
10. Press the ignition switch (A) to turn the system OFF.
Please contact following number if the vehicle could not be discharged. • 1-800-662-6200 (US) or 1-800-361-4792 (Canada)
• Hours of operation are 8am-5pm (Monday-Friday) Eastern, Central and Pacific time zones. AAYIA0067ZZ

• 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 check the READY indicator (1) in the instrument cluster, and verify that the READY indicator is off and the high voltage system is stopped.
• After the high voltage system is shut down, please wait for 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 ten (10) minutes, but after five (5) minutes the voltage
has dropped below 60V.
• Remove the 12V battery negative (-) terminal and wait for three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even though the 12V battery negative (-) is disconnected, the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag maintains voltage for three (3) minutes.
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 12V battery negative (-) terminal is removed while the high voltage system is active. This is because the DC/DC converter will
not shut down and power will be supplied to the 12V system and high voltage system
continuously.
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column,
adjust the seats, unlock the doors, open the trunk, etc. as required. Once the 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
Powering Down the High Voltage System
The high voltage system can be shut down with any 1 of the following procedures: • Turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Primary Procedure.
•

Remove the fuse for the high voltage control system and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Alter-
nate

Procedure 1 .
•

Remove the service plug and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to Alternate Procedure 2. 21

Primary Procedure
NO
TE:
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the
steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
1. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to the next steps to open the trunk for 12V
battery negative cable access.
4. If possible, keep the INFINITI Intelligent Key™ at least 5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle (except as noted
below) . AAYIA0062ZZ
AAYIA0068ZZ

Alternate Procedure 1
NO
TE:
Before removing any fuses, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column,
adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once fuses are removed, power controls will not
operate.
1. Pull release handle (A) to open the hood.
2. Remove fuse box cover (B) .
3. Remove 80A fuse (C) (black) .
4. If you cannot identify the fuse (C) , remove all fuses in the fuse box. AAYIA0004GB
25

Alternate Procedure 2
• Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate PPE to help
protect the dismantler from serious injury or death by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. To avoid electric shock, DO NOT touch the terminals inside the socket. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the dismantler should carry the service plug on his/her person while work is
in progress.
NOTE: Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the
steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12V battery is disconnected,
power controls will not operate.
1. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to the next steps to open the trunk for 12V
battery negative cable access. AAYIA0062ZZ

6. Open the 12V battery service access cover (G) .
7.
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable (H) and cover it with insulated tape.
8. Open service plug access cover (J) .
9. Remove the service plug (K) by pressing the locking tab (L) and rotating the handle (M) fully outward (N) . Using the handle, pull the service plug (P) completely out of its socket.
10. Cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. AAYIA0035ZZ

4-1 Jump Starting Procedures
NO
TE:
Jumper cable connections under the hood of the M35h HYBRID are not connected directly
to a battery. They are connected to chassis ground and a fuse box terminal. Refer to the
following instructions and the above illustration.
1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle (A) , position the two vehicles (A and B) to bring the12V battery and fuse box into close proximity to each other.
DO NOT allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake. Move the selector lever the P (Park) position. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (headlights, heater, air conditioner, etc.) .
3. Remove fuse box cover on the M35h HYBRID and connect jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated (abcd) .
For models with a steering wheel lock mechanism:
If the 12V battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be
turned. Supply power using jumper cables before pushing the ignition switch and disengaging
the steering lock. • Always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to body ground (for example,
as
illustrated) , not to the 12V battery.
• Make sure the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the engine compartment and that the cable clamps do not contact any other metal.
• If the hybrid system does not start right away, push the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait ten (10) seconds before trying again.
4. Start the engine of the booster vehicle (A) and let it run for a few minutes.
5. Start the hybrid system of the vehicle being jump started (B) . AAYIA0069ZZ

6. After starting the hybrid system, carefully disconnect the negative cable and then the positive
cable (dcba) .
7. Reinstall the fuse box cover.
NOTE:
If it is not possible to turn the hybrid system ON by following this procedure, contact
an INFINITI retailer immediately.
4-2 Shift Selector Lever Lock Release
If the 12V battery is low or discharged, the selector lever cannot be moved from the Park (P) position. If a booster bat-
tery is not available, the selector lever lock can be manually released. To manually release the selector lever lock, perform
the following procedure: 1. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK or OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
4. Push down the shift lock (B) as shown in the illustration.
5. Push the selector lever button (C) and move the selectorlever to the Neutral (N) position (D) while holding down
the shift lock. AAYIA0067ZZ
