open hood INFINITI QX60 HYBRID 2014 Dismantling Guide

•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 verify that the READY
indicator is off (if possible) , and the high voltage
system is stopped.
• After the high voltage system is shut down, please wait approximately ten (10) minutes for complete discharge of the high voltage capacitor. While waiting, do not operate any
vehicle functions.
• After shutting down the high voltage system and removing the 12V battery negative (-) terminal, wait at least three (3) minutes to discharge the air bag capacitor. Even though the
12V battery negative (-) is disconnected, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air
bag maintains voltage at least three (3) minutes. During this time, 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 12V battery negative (-) terminal is removed while the high voltage system is active. This is because the charging system will
not shut down and power will be supplied to the 12V system and high voltage systemcontinuously.
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the steering column,
adjust the seats, unlock the doors, open the liftgate, etc. as required. Once the 12V 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 12V battery. Refer to
Primary Procedure (DG–23).
• Remove the underhood fuse for the high voltage control system and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to
Alternate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (DG–25).
• Remove the service plug and disconnect the 12V battery. Refer to
Alternate Procedure 2 (Remove
Service Plug) (DG–27)
.

Primary Procedure
NOTE:Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, adjust the
steering column, adjust the seats, unlock the doors, etc. Once 12V 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. Verify that the READY indicator is off and
then continue to the next steps to open the hood for
12V battery negative cable access.
If the READY indicator does not turn off, refer to
Alter-
nate Procedure 1 (Remove Fuses) (DG–25)
4. If possible, keep the INFINITI Intelligent Key™ at least 5 meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle.
5. Pull release handle (1) and pull up release lever (2) to open hood.
