TE:
Jumper cable connections under the hood of the Q50 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 the12-volt 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 Q50 HYBRID and connect jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated () .
For models with a steering wheel lock mechanism:
If the 12-volt 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 12-volt 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.

4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Infiniti
strongly recommends that Q50 HYBRID be towed with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground or
that a dolly be used as illustrated. • Never tow with the rear wheels on the ground or four (4) wheels on the ground (forward
or
backward) , as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the motor.
• Never tow AWD models with any of the wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the ignition switch OFF.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the vehicle recovery hook or main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down hook to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down hook or recovery hook.
• Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, high-voltage or cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.

Perform vehicle towing by holding up drive (rear) wheels or on flatbed in order to prevent secondary
damage
from voltage generated by the motor. In addition, turn the ignition switch OFF when towing the
vehicle. Refer to the following illustrations:
