1. About the INFINITI Q50 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 behind
the rear seat back with battery cable access through the trunk area. The other is the high-voltage battery for
the traction motor which propels the vehicle. The high-voltage battery is located behind the rear seat back
with service plug access through the trunk area.
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.

3-7 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.
In cases of battery case breach or electrolyte leakage, contact the fire department immediately. If you must
walk away from the vehicle, notify an appropriate responder of the fact that the vehicle is a hybrid vehicle
and contains a high-voltage system and warn all others.
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.

4-1.1 Jump Starting Procedures
NO
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.
5. Start the hybrid system of the vehicle being jump started (B) . A

4-4 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
The
Q50 is factory equipped with run-flat tires. It is not equipped with a jack or spare tire as standard
equipment. However, the following jacking instructions apply when using the optional Infiniti jack. Always follow these instructions when jacking up the vehicle and changing a tire:
•
Never change a tire when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. Jack must be on
level ground.
• Make sure the parking brake is securely applied and shift selector is in P (Park) position.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any other part of the vehicle for jack support.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack.
• Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the vehicle to move. This is especially true for vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off the ground. It may cause the vehicle to move.
• Be sure to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being removed as the vehicle may move and result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so the top of the jack contacts the
vehicle at the jack-up point. Align the jack head between the two notches in the front or the rear
as shown. Also fit the groove of the jack head between the notches as shown. The jack
should be used on level firm ground.
2. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by turning it counterclockwise with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tire is off the ground. AAYIA0403ZZ
