3-4 Turning OFF the Ignition Switch
1. Check the READY indicator status. If it is ON, the high-voltage system is active.
2.

Press the ignition switch once to turn OFF the high-
voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator is OFF.
3.
If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least
5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle to prevent
accidentally turning ON the hybrid system while the
roadside assistance is in progress.
3-5 Water Submersion DANGER
Damage level of submerged vehicle may not be apparent. Handling a submerged
vehicle
without appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will result in serious
injury or death from electrical shock. •
The ignition switch of the submerged vehicle must be turned OFF first, if possible.
Then
the vehicle must be completely out of the water and drained to avoid electrical
shock.
• If the vehicle is in the water, to avoid electrical shock NEVER touch the high-voltage
components,
harnesses or service plug. PPE must always be worn when touching or
working on high-voltage components.
Only first responders wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should shut down the vehicle.
After shut down, standard towing/recovery procedures can be used. Refer to 4-3 Towing (RAG–24)

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.
RAG–25

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:
2WD models
AWD models
NOTE:
It is also permissible to transport the Q50 facing rearward on a flatbed. If the vehicle cannot be
placed in Neutral, a P (Park) release procedure may be required. Refer to 4-1.2 Shift Selector
