3-3 Turning OFF the Power Switch

1. Check the READY

indicator status. If it is ON, the high voltage system is active.

2. Press the power switch once to turn OFF the high

voltage system. Then verify whether the READY
indicator is OFF.

3. If possible, keep the Nissan Intelligent Key™ at least 5

meters (16 feet) away from the vehicle to prevent
accidentally turning ON the EV system while the
roadside assistance is in progress.

3-4 Water Submersion

Damage level of submerged vehicle may not be apparent. Handling a submerged

vehicle without appropriate PPE will result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.

The power switch of the submerged vehicle must be turned OFF first, if possible.

Then the vehicle must be completely out of the water and drained to avoid electrical
shock.

If the vehicle is in the water, to avoid electrical shock do not touch the high voltage

components, harnesses or service plug.

Only first responders wearing appropriate PPE should shut down the vehicle. After shut down, standard
towing/recovery procedures can be used. Refer to

4-4 Towing
