steering INFINITI Q70 HYBRID 2015 First Responder´s

• The vehicle contains parts that contain powerful magnets. If a person who is
wearing a pacemaker or other medical device is close to these parts, the medical
device may be affected by the magnets. Such persons must not perform work on the
vehicle.
• Be sure to check the READY indicator (1) in the instrument cluster, and verify that the READY indicator is off and the high voltage system is stopped.
• After the high voltage system is shut down, please wait for approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor. While waiting, do not
operate any vehicle functions.
• Remove the 12-volt battery negative (-) terminal and wait for three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even though the 12-volt battery negative (-) is
disconnected, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag maintains voltage
for three (3) minutes. There is a possibility of sudden SRS air bag inflation due to
harness short circuit or damage and it may cause serious injuries.
• The 12V system will remain active even after the 12-volt battery negative (-) terminal is removed while the high voltage system is active. This is because the DC/DC converter
will not shut down and power will be supplied to the 12V system and high voltage
system continuously.
Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering
column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, open the trunk, etc. as required. Once the 12-volt battery is
disconnected, power controls will not operate.
Powering Down the High Voltage System
The high voltage system can be shut down with any 1 of the following procedures: • Turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the 12-volt battery. Refer to Primary Procedure
(FRG–22) .
•

Remove the fuse for the high voltage control system and disconnect the 12-volt battery.
Refer to Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (FRG–24).
•

Remove the service plug and disconnect the 12-volt battery. Refer to Alternate Procedure 2
(Remove

Service Plug) (FRG–26) . FRG–21

Primary Procedure
NO
TE:
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. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to the next steps to open the trunk for
12-volt battery negative cable access.
4.
If possible, keep the Infiniti Intelligent Key at least 5 meters
(16 feet) away from the vehicle (except as noted below) .
5. Open the trunk using any of the following: a. push-button switch (C) on the lower LH side ofthe instrument panel.
b. trunk button (D) on the Infiniti Intelligent Key [press for longer than one (1) second].
c. trunk open request switch (E) (located above license plate)*.
d. with the mechanical key (F) housed inside the
Infiniti Intelligent Key.

Alternate Procedure 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 rescuer should carry the service plug on his/her person while work is in
progress.
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. Check the READY indicator (A) status in the instrument cluster. If it is on, the high voltage systemis active.
2. Place the shift selector in the Park (P) position.
3. Push the ignition switch (B) once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator (A) is off.
If the READY indicator (A) does not turn off, continue to the next steps to open the trunk for
