brake fluid INFINITI QX60 HYBRID 2015 Owner's Manual

WARNING
●The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®
System uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately 144volts. The system can be hot
while and after starting. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the high tem-
perature. Obey the warning labels at-
tached to the vehicle.
● Never disassemble, remove or replace
high-voltage parts and harnesses as
well as their connectors can cause se-
vere burns or electric shock that may
result in serious injury or death. High-
voltage harnesses are colored orange.
The vehicle high-voltage system has no
user serviceable parts. Take your ve-
hicle to an INFINITI retailer for any nec-
essary maintenance.
● Never try to remove the service plug
located in the trunk. The service plug is
used only when the vehicle is serviced
by trained technicians wearing personal
protection equipment and is part of the
high-voltage system. Touching the ser-
vice plug can cause severe burns or
electric shock that may result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
In case of a collision:
●If your vehicle is drivable, pull your ve-
hicle off the road, put the transmission
in the P (Park) position, apply the park-
ing brake and turn the INFINITI Direct
Response Hybrid® System off.
● Check to see if there are exposed high-
voltage parts and cables. Never touch
the parts and cables. For their locations,
refer to “High-voltage components and
their locations” in this section. To avoid
personal injury, never touch high-
voltage wiring, connectors, and other
high-voltage parts, such as electric mo-
tor inverter and Li-ion battery. An elec-
tric shock may occur if exposed electric
wires are visible when viewed from in-
side or outside of your vehicle. There-
fore, never touch exposed electric
wires.
● If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle
in a safe location and check the floor.
● Inspect the ground under the vehicle. If
liquid has leaked onto the ground, the
fuel system may have been damaged.
Leave the vehicle as soon as possible. ●
Leaks or damage to the Li-ion battery
may result in a fire. If you discover them,
contact emergency services immedi-
ately. Since the fluid leak may be
lithium organic electrolyte from the Li-
ion battery, never touch the fluid leak
inside or outside the vehicle. If the fluid
contacts your skin or eyes, wash it off
immediately with a large amount of wa-
ter and receive immediate medical at-
tention to help avoid serious injury.
● If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle,
leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Only use a type ABC, BC or C fire extin-
guisher that is meant for use on electri-
cal fires. Using water or the incorrect
fire extinguisher can result in serious
injury or death from electrical shock.
● If you are not able to safely assess the
vehicle due to vehicle damage, do not
touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and
contact emergency services. Advise 1st
responders that this is a hybrid vehicle.
