No. Component
LocationDescription
a Lithium-ion
(Li-ion)
Battery Trunk area (behind
rear seat back) The Li-ion battery stores and outputs DC
power (Maximum voltage 400V) needed to
propel the vehicle.
b DC/DC Converter Trunk area (mounted
to top of Li-ion bat-
tery) The DC/DC converter reduces the voltage of
the Li-ion battery to provide power to the 12V
battery in order to operate the vehicle’s electric
components (headlights, audio system, etc.) .
c Service Plug Trunk area (below
parcel shelf; behind
access door in trim
panel) This is used to disable the high voltage system.
d 12V Battery Trunk area (below
parcel shelf; behind
trim panel left of
Li-ion battery) A lead-acid battery that supplies power to the
low voltage devices.
e High Voltage Har-
nesses Trunk area (on Li-ion
battery) , under floor
pan, engine com-
partment Orange-colored power cables carry high DC
voltage between each of the high voltage com-
ponents.
f Electric Air Condi-
tioner Compressor Engine compart-
ment (front driver
side) Air conditioner compressor
g Traction Motor
Inverter Engine compart-
ment (rear passen-
ger side) Converts the DC power stored in the Li-ion
battery to three-phase AC power and controls
motor torque (revolution) by regulating the
motor current. The inverter has a built in high
voltage capacitor.
h Traction Motor Built-into the trans-
mission Converts three-phase alternating current (AC)
power to drive power (torque) which propels
the vehicle.

When arriving to an incident involving an INFINITI M35h HYBRID, the vehicle should be approached with
caution
and inspected for the level of damage. In addition to overall vehicle condition (location and severity
of body damage, air bag deployment, etc.) , the high-voltage system should be assessed specifically. The
locations of the high-voltage component parts are illustrated in this FRG. Refer to 2-2 High Voltage-Related
and
12V-Related Component Locations and Descriptions . Appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE)
must always be worn when approaching a vehicle of unknown condition, as described in this FRG.
Situation 1) High voltage system intact, occupants can be accessed without extrication tools
The HV system can be shut down by following the procedure in this guide, while wearing appropriate PPE.
After HV system shut down, occupant assistance can begin immediately, and no wait period is necessary.
Situation 2) High voltage system intact, occupants cannot be accessed without extrication tools
The HV system can be shut down by following the procedure in this guide, while wearing appropriate PPE.
After HV system shut down, absolute care must be taken not to cut through or damage any HV system
wiring, battery or components within ten (10) minutes of HV system shut down, but occupant assistance
operations using extrication equipment can begin immediately. The locations of the HV components are
illustrated in this guide.
Situation 3) High-voltage (HV) system damaged
If there is any evidence that the HV system has been compromised (such as arcing/sparking, orange wiring
harnesses cut or damaged, HV component casings damaged, etc.) , the responder may still be at risk of
high voltage exposure. The vehicle must be approached with extreme caution prior to initiating any system
shut down procedures or rendering assistance to occupants. Appropriate PPE must always be worn as
described in this guide, and the ten (10) minute wait time must be observed after HV system shut down in
order to ensure the system is de-energized.
In rare situations where vehicle damage is very severe, HV system shut down procedures as described in
this guide may not work. In these instances extreme caution and appropriate risk management must be
followed to prevent shock or electrocution to the responder or occupant.
3-3.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure
Any of the following procedures can shut down the high voltage system. The first response operation should
only begin after shutting down the high voltage system. If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the
Li-ion battery is deformed, broken or cracked, appropriate PPE must always be used and the Li-ion battery
and high voltage components must not be touched. • Failure to properly shut down the high voltage system before the Emergency
Response
Procedures are performed will result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock. To prevent serious injury or death, DO NOT touch high voltage
harnesses or components without always wearing appropriate PPE.
• When contact with high voltage components or high voltage harnesses is
unavoidable,
or when there is risk of such contact, you must always wear appropriate
PPE.

SRS Air Bag System Components Location
Avoid
cutting air bag system parts. However, the vehicle can be cut (except inflators) under the following
conditions: • The front, side and curtain air bags have deployed.
• At least three (3) minutes have passed after the 12V battery negative (-) cable has beendisconnected and the high voltage system has been shut down. AAYIA0012GB
