3-2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Insulated Tools
3-2.1
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective Wear Control
Perform an inspection of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) items before beginning work. Do not use
any damaged PPE items.
3-2.2 Daily Inspection
This inspection is performed before and after use. The worker who will be using the items should perform
the inspection and check for deterioration and damage. • Insulated rubber gloves should be inspected for scratches, holes and tears. (Visual check and airleakage test)
• Insulated safety boots should be inspected for holes, damage, nails, metal pieces, wear or other problems on the soles. (Visual check)
• Insulated rubber sheet should be inspected for tears. (Visual check)
3-2.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
3-3 Discharge Procedures Do not perform this procedure if the high voltage battery is damaged. If you are unsure of
battery

damage, use extreme caution and always wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) when working on high voltage components.
Li-ion battery discharging must take place before dismantling. Sufficient discharging can be achieved by
following these steps. 1. Place the shift selector into the Park (P) position
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Set wheel chocks to ensure the vehicle is completely stopped.
4. Fasten the driver seat belt and close the driver door.
5. Apply foot brake and press the ignition switch to turn the system ON. Confirm READY indicator in instrument cluster turns ON.
a.
If the engine starts, leave the engine on until idling stops.
b. If the engine does NOT start, move on to next step.
6. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
7. Push down the shift lock (B) as shown in the illustration.
8. Push the shift selector button (C) and move the shift selector to Neutral (N) position (D) while holding down
the shift lock.
NOTE:
DO NOT press accelerator or foot brake after
moving the shift selector to the Neutral (N)
position. Otherwise Li-ion battery will start to be
charged. AAYIA0067ZZ

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

4-1 Jump Starting Procedures
NO
TE:
Jumper cable connections under the hood of the Q70 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 the12V 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 Q70 HYBRID and connect jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated () .
For models with a steering wheel lock mechanism:
If the 12V 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 12V 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) . AAYIA0069ZZ
DG–34

6. After starting the hybrid system, carefully disconnect the negative cable and then the positive
cable () .
7. Reinstall the fuse box cover.
NOTE:
If it is not possible to turn the hybrid system ON by following this procedure, contact
an INFINITI retailer immediately.
4-2 Shift Selector Lever Lock Release
If the 12V battery is low or discharged, the selector lever cannot be moved from the Park (P) position. If a booster bat-
tery is not available, the selector lever lock can be manually released. To manually release the selector lever lock, perform
the following procedure: 1. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK or OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the shift lock cover (A) using a suitable tool.
4. Push down the shift lock (B) as shown in the illustration.
5. Push the selector lever button (C) and move the selectorlever to the Neutral (N) position (D) while holding down
the shift lock. AAYIA0067ZZ
