3-7 High-voltage Battery Damage and Fluid Leaks
The high-voltage 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.
In cases of battery case breach or electrolyte leakage, contact the fire department immediately. If you must
walk away from the vehicle, notify an appropriate responder of the fact that the vehicle is a hybrid vehicle
and contains a high-voltage system and warn all others.
High-voltage Battery Electrolyte Solution Characteristics: • Clear in color
• Sweet odor
• Similar viscosity to water
• Since the high-voltage 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.

Jump Starting
To start the hybrid system with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed. If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a 12-volt battery explosion, resulting in severe
personal

injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
Jump starting provides power to the 12-volt system to allow the electrical systems to operate. The electrical
systems must be operating to allow the high-voltage battery to be charged. Jump starting does not charge
the high-voltage battery.
Discharged 12-volt battery may cause the following issues: • The instrument cluster cannot be displayed while the ignition switch is turned ON. (The hybridsystem cannot start.)
• Headlamps, horn, etc. are weak. • To avoid electrical shock, the high-voltage battery CANNOT be jump started.
•

Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the 12-volt battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the 12-volt battery. Make sure the vent tube is mounted.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. If
the fluid comes into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area with
water.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage the vehicle.
• Whenever working on or near a 12-volt battery, always wear suitable eye protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or any
other jewelry. Do not lean over the 12-volt battery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
• Rogue HYBRID is equipped with an automatic cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and other objects away from it.
• Always follow the jump starting instructions below. Failure to do so could result in damage to the charging system and cause personal injury.

4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Nissan
strongly recommends that Rogue HYBRID be towed with the driving wheels off the ground or that
the vehicle be placed on a flatbed truck. • AWD Models: Never tow with any of the wheels on the ground, as this may cause
serious
and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• FWD Models: Never tow with the front wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the ignition switch OFF.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down points to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down.
• Always pull the recovery device straight out from the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, high-voltage or cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.
Perform vehicle towing by holding up drive wheels (front or all depending on model) or on flatbed in order to
prevent secondary damage from voltage generated by the motor. In addition, turn the ignition switch OFF
when towing the vehicle. Refer to the following illustration:
