PRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Technicians Using Medical Electric

INFOID:0000000010121913

OPERATION PROHIBITION

WARNING:

• Parts with strong magnet is used in this vehicle. 

• Technicians using a medical electric device such as pacemaker must never perform operation on the

vehicle, as magnetic field can affect the device function by approaching to such parts.

NORMAL CHARGE PRECAUTION

WARNING:

• If a technician uses a medical electric device such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker or an

implantable cardioverter defibrillator, the possible effects on the devices must be checked with the

device manufacturer before starting the charge operation.

• As radiated electromagnetic wave generated by PDM (Power Delivery Module) at normal charge

operation may affect medical electric devices, a technician using a medical electric device such as

implantable cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator must not approach motor

room [PDM (Power Delivery Module)] at the hood-opened condition during normal charge operation.

PRECAUTION AT TELEMATICS SYSTEM OPERATION

WARNING:

• If a technician uses implantable cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD),

avoid the device implanted part from approaching within approximately 220 mm (8.66 in) from inte-

rior/exterior antenna.

• The electromagnetic wave of TCU might affect the function of the implantable cardiac pacemaker or

the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), when using the service, etc.

• If a technician uses other medical electric devices than implantable cardiac pacemaker or implant-

able cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), the electromagnetic wave of TCU might affect the function of the

device. The possible effects on the devices must be checked with the device manufacturer before

TCU use.

PRECAUTION AT INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM OPERATION

WARNING:

• If a technician uses implantable cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD),

avoid the device implanted part from approaching within approximately 220 mm (8.66 in) from inte-

rior/exterior antenna.

• The electromagnetic wave of Intelligent Key might affect the function of the implantable cardiac

pacemaker or the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), at door operation, at each request

switch operation, or at engine starting.

• If a technician uses other medical electric devices than implantable cardiac pacemaker or implant-

able cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), the electromagnetic wave of Intelligent Key might affect the

function of the device. The possible effects on the devices must be checked with the device manu-

facturer before Intelligent Key use.

Point to Be Checked Before Starting Maintenance Work

INFOID:0000000010121914

The high voltage system may starts automatically. It is required to check that the timer air conditioner

and timer charge (during EVSE connection) are not set before starting maintenance work.

NOTE:

If the timer air conditioner or timer charge (during EVSE connection) is set, the high voltage system starts

automatically even when the power switch is in OFF state.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT 
PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000010121915

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along

with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain

types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS

HAC-208

< PRECAUTION >

[AUTO A/C (WITHOUT HEAT PUMP)]

PRECAUTIONS

system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front

air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.

Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-

ual.

WARNING:

• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in

the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by

an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal

injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag

Module, see the SR section.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this

Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-

ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-

tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a

hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing

serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the

battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover

INFOID:0000000010121916

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover

the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to

windshield.

High Voltage Precautions

INFOID:0000000010121917

DANGER:

Since hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain a high voltage battery, there is the risk of

electric shock, electric leakage, or similar accidents if the high voltage component and vehicle are

handled incorrectly. Be sure to follow the correct work procedures when performing inspection and

maintenance.

WARNING:

• Be sure to remove the service plug in order to disconnect the high voltage circuits before perform-

ing inspection or maintenance of high voltage system harnesses and parts.

• The removed service plug must always be carried in a pocket of the responsible worker or placed in

the tool box during the procedure to prevent the plug from being connected by mistake.

• Be sure to wear insulated protective equipment before beginning work on the high voltage system.

• Never allow workers other than the responsible person to touch the vehicle containing high voltage

parts. To keep others from touching the high voltage parts, these parts must be covered with an insu-

lating sheet except when using them.

CAUTION:

Never bring the vehicle into the READY status with the service plug removed unless otherwise

instructed in the Service Manual. A malfunction may occur if this is not observed.

All the high voltage harnesses and connectors are orange. The Li-ion battery and other high voltage devices

include an orange high voltage label. Never touch these harnesses and high voltage parts.

HANDLING OF HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS AND TERMINALS

Immediately insulate disconnected high voltage connectors and terminals with insulating tape.

REGULATIONS ON WORKERS WITH MEDICAL ELECTRONICS

WARNING:

The vehicle contains parts that contain powerful magnets. If a person who is wearing a heart pace-

maker or other medical device is close to these parts, the medical device may be affected by the mag-

nets. Such persons must not perform work on the vehicle.

PROHIBITED ITEMS TO CARRY DURING THE WORK

Hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain parts with high voltage and intense magnetic force. Never carry

metal products and magnetic recording media (e.g. cash card, prepaid card) to repair/inspect high voltage

parts. If this is not observed, the metal products may create a risk of short circuit and the magnetic recording

media may lose their magnetic recording.

POSTING A SIGN OF “DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE AREA. KEEP OUT”

HAC-210

< PRECAUTION >

[AUTO A/C (WITHOUT HEAT PUMP)]

PRECAUTIONS

Indicate "HIGH VOLTAGE. DO NOT TOUCH" on the vehicle under repair/inspection to call attention to other

workers.

Precaution for Removing 12V Battery

INFOID:0000000010121918

1. Check that EVSE is not connected.

NOTE:

If EVSE is connected, the air conditioning system may be automatically activated by the timer A/C func-

tion.

2. Turn the power switch OFF 

→ ON → OFF. Get out of the vehicle. Close all doors (including back door).
