NISSAN 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid - First Responder's Guide - Manual (Page 16)

• The high voltage battery relays (SMR1 and SMR2) will automatically open to stop the electrical flow
in a front, side or certain rear collisions that are sufficient enough to activate the supplemental
restraint system (SRS).
2-6 High Voltage Circuit Shut-Off System
This vehicle is equipped with a system to shut off the current from the Li-ion battery by the following
methods:
Service plug Positioned in the right rear area of the Li-ion battery, this plug shuts off the
output of high voltage when manually removed.
System main relays
(located in the high voltage
battery) Controlled by the ignition switch, these relays are powered by the 12V sys-
tem and shut off high voltage from the Li-ion battery.
Emergency shut-off sys-
tem In the case of a collision (front and side collisions in which the air bags are
deployed, certain rear collisions) or certain system malfunctions this system
is designed to shut off the high voltage from the Li-ion battery.
2-7 Preventing Electrical Shock
1. If it is necessary to touch any of the high voltage harnesses or components, always wear
appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) [refer to 3-1 Preparation Items (FRG–18) ].
Shut off the high voltage system by referring to 3-3.1 High Voltage System Shut-Down
Procedure (FRG–20) .
2. To avoid the risk of electrocution, NEVER touch the inside of the Li-ion battery with bare hands
after shutting off the high voltage system. The Li-ion battery maintains charge even though the
high voltage system is shut down. PPE must always be worn when touching or working on high
voltage components.
3. Cover damaged high voltage components with insulated tape.
2-8 Emergency Medical Equipment
The high voltage system should not interfere with emergency medical equipment which must be used in or
near the vehicle at an accident scene.
