3-2 Indications the High-voltage System is ON
If
the READY indicator is ON, the high-voltage system is active.
Before
disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and
open the rear hatch as required. Once 12-volt battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate.
3-3 Vehicle Immobilization and Stabilization
If possible, immobilize the vehicle by turning the 12-volt system OFF and stabilize it with a wheel chock(s) .
Stabilize the vehicle with wooden blocks or by removing air from the tires. • To avoid electrical shock, do not put wooden blocks or wheel chock(s) under the
high-voltage
components and harnesses as shown following. AAYIA0185ZZ

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

4-3.2 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:
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

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

3. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands as shown. Carefully raise
the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire.
4. Install new or repaired tire and hand-tighten the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench in an alternating pattern. Always follow these instructions when changing a tire:
•
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel
nuts can cause the wheel to become loose or come
off. This could cause an accident.
• Do not use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts to become loose.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or death and/or vehicle damage.
5. Securely torque the wheel nuts in an alternating pattern to 80 ft-lb (108 Nm) .
6. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack and securely store the flat tire, tools and jackingequipment in the vehicle. Always follow these instructions when using the jacking equipment or after changing a tire:
•
Always make sure that the spare tire and jacking equipment are properly secured after
use. Such items can become dangerous projectiles in an accident or sudden stop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
NOTE:
To help prevent squeaks and rattles, check that the tools are reinstalled and properly secured
in the stored place after use. AAYIA0136ZZ
