Y Indicator
(Green) This lamp is on when the high-voltage system is powered
up

and the vehicle is ready to drive.
Master Warning Lamp
(Orange or Red) This lamp is on when another warning lamp or message is
displayed

in the instrument cluster.
Hybrid System
Warning Lamp
(Orange) This lamp is on or blinking when:
•

Malfunction has occurred in the hybrid control system
and/or
• High-voltage leak to vehicle chassis and/or
• Emergency shut-off system has been activated. The shut-off system activates in the following conditions:
– Front and side collisions in which the air bags are deployed.
– Certain rear collisions.
– Certain high-voltage system malfunctions. 00

3. Roadside Assistance Response Steps
• NEVER assume the Q50 HYBRID is shut OFF simply because it is quiet.
• If the vehicle is damaged and you are not sure about the condition of the electric
vehicle system, contact first responders immediately. If the vehicle is damaged, the
high-voltage system should be shut down by first responders while following the
procedures in the First Responders Guide and while wearing appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) .
• If the READY indicator is ON the high-voltage system is active.
• If possible, be sure to check the READY indicator on the instrument cluster and
verify

that the READY indicator is OFF and the high-voltage system is stopped.
•

Some of the under hood parts get hot and may cause serious burns. Use caution when
working on or around these parts.

4-1
Jump Starting
To start the hybrid system with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed. If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a 12-volt battery explosion, resulting in severe
personal

injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
Jump starting provides power to the 12-volt system to allow the electrical systems to operate. The electrical
systems must be operating to allow the high-voltage battery to be charged. Jump starting does not charge
the high-voltage battery.
Discharged 12-volt battery may cause the following issues: • The instrument cluster cannot be displayed while the ignition switch is turned ON. (The hybridsystem cannot start.)
• Headlamps, horn, etc. are weak. • To avoid electrical shock, the high-voltage battery CANNOT be jump started.
•

Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the 12-volt battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the 12-volt battery. Make sure the vent tube is mounted.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area
with water.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage the vehicle.
• Whenever working on or near a 12-volt battery, always wear suitable eye protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or any
other jewelry. Do not lean over the 12-volt battery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
• Q50 HYBRID is equipped with an automatic cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and other objects away from it.
• Always follow the jump starting instructions below. Failure to do so could result in damage to the charging system and cause personal injury.

5-2 Remove Service Plug
DANGER
• Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) to help protect the responder from serious injury or death
by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. The high-voltage
battery
retains high-voltage power even when the service plug is removed. To avoid
electric shock, NEVER touch the terminals inside the socket. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the service plug should be securely stored away from the vehicle while the vehicle
is in storage.
NOTE: Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust
the steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12-volt battery is
disconnected, power controls will not operate.
1. If possible, check the READY indicator status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high-
voltage

system is active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch once to turn OFF the high- voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator
is off.
If the READY indicator does not turn off, continue to
