headlamp INFINITI Q70 HYBRID 2014 Dismantling Guide

9. Release the parking brake.
10. Turn ON electric devices such as headlamps, A/C (set to the coldest temperature) and rear
window defogger to discharge the high voltage battery. Allow approximately 15 minutes to
discharge. Discharge is complete when the READY indicator (B) (green) turns OFF and the
hybrid

system warning indicator (C) (orange) turns ON.
11. Press the ignition switch (A) to turn the system OFF.
Please contact following number if the vehicle could not be discharged. • 1-800-662-6200 (US) or 1-800-361-4792 (Canada)
• Hours of operation are 8am-5pm (Monday-Friday) Eastern, Central and Pacific time zones.
3-4 How to Handle a Damaged Vehicle
3-4.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down Procedure
Any of the following procedures can shut down the high voltage system. The dismantling operation can only
begin after shutting down the high voltage system. If the vehicle is heavily damaged, for example the Li-ion
battery is deformed, broken or cracked, appropriate PPE must always be used and the Li-ion battery and
high voltage components must not be touched. • Failure to properly shut down the high voltage system before the dismantling
procedures
are performed will result in serious injury or death from electrical shock. To
prevent serious injury or death, NEVER touch high voltage harnesses or components
without always wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) . PPE
must always be worn when touching or working on high voltage components
• When contact with high voltage components or high voltage harnesses is
unavoidable,
or when there is risk of such contact, you must always wear appropriate
PPE. PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high voltage
components. AAYIA0033ZZ

4. Jump Starting
T
o 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 12V battery explosion, resulting in severe
personal

injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
Jump starting provides power to the 12V system to allow the electrical systems to operate. The electrical
systems must be operating to allow the Li-ion battery to be charged. Jump starting does not charge the
Li-ion battery.
Discharged 12V 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 Li-ion battery CANNOT be jump started.
•

Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the 12V battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the 12V battery. Make sure the vent tube is correctly
installed.
• 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 12V 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 12V battery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
• Q70 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.
