brake INFINITI Q70 HYBRID 2014 First Responder´s

3-1.3 Insulated Tools
When
performing work at locations where high voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
3-2 Vehicle Immobilization and Stabilization
Apply the parking brake and stabilize the vehicle with a wheel chock(s) or deflate the tires. Put support
material such as wooden blocks or utilize the Lift Airbag Equipment for rescue. • To avoid electrical shock, do not put the Lift Airbag Equipment for rescue and wheel
chock(s)
under the high voltage components and harnesses.
3-3 How to Handle a Damaged Vehicle at an Accident Scene
NOTE:
If any air bags have deployed in the following 3 situations, the high-voltage (HV) system has
been designed to automatically shut off at the time of deployment.
The INFINITI Q70 HYBRID high-voltage system incorporates capacitors which are energized whenever the
high-voltage system is on. If the high-voltage system is shut down (either through one of the built-in
automatic mechanisms or manually through one of the procedures explained in this FRG) , the capacitors
will begin to gradually discharge. After 5 minutes, the voltage level will have dropped below 60V, and
complete discharge requires approximately 10 minutes after high-voltage system shut down. It is within this
period of time that responders must be most cautious. AAYIA0016ZZ

3-3.5 Li-ion Battery Damage and Fluid Leaks
The Li-ion battery contains electrolyte solution. To avoid exposure to electrolyte solution
and
serious personal injury, always wear appropriate solvent resistant Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) and read the following precautions:
• Electrolyte solution is a skin irritant.
• Electrolyte solution is an eye irritant – If contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water and
see a doctor immediately.
• If electrolyte leak occurs, wear appropriate solvent resistant PPE and use a dry cloth to clean up the spilled electrolyte. Be sure to adequately ventilate the area.
• Electrolyte solution is highly flammable
• Electrolyte liquid or fumes that have come into contact with water vapors in the air will create an oxidized substance. This substance may irritate skin and eyes. In these cases,
rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• Electrolyte fumes (when inhaled) can cause respiratory irritation and acute intoxication. Move to fresh air and wash mouth with water. See a doctor immediately.
If electrolyte solution leakage, or damage such as any problem with the Li-ion battery casing are observed,
first responders should attempt to neutralize the battery by applying a large volume of water to the battery
pack while wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) . The neutralization process helps
stabilize the thermal condition of the battery pack but does not discharge the battery.
Li-ion Battery Electrolyte Solution Characteristics: • Clear in color
• Sweet odor
• Similar viscosity to water
• Since the Li-ion battery is made up of many small sealed battery modules, electrolyte solutionleakage should be minimal.
NOTE:
Other fluids in the vehicle (such as engine oil, washer fluid, brake fluid, coolant, etc.) are
the same as those in a conventional vehicle.
