Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
11.2.2. Maintenance precautions
When performing any inspection or maintenance work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to the vehicle. The following are general precautions which should be closely observed.
Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high voltage parts, harnesses and their connectors. High voltage harnesses are orange. Touching, disassembling, removing or replacing those parts and harnesses can cause severe burns or electric shock that may result in serious injury or death.
Never try to remove the service plug located under the console box. 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 service plug can cause severe burns or electric shock that may result in serious injury or death.
The e-POWER system uses high voltage up to approximately 420 volts. The system can be hot while and after starting. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature. Obey the caution labels attached to the vehicle.
The engine can start at any time without warning when the e-POWER system is in the READY to drive mode. If you must work with the e-POWER system in the READY to drive mode, keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools away from moving fans, belts and any other moving parts.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake securely and block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Push the P position switch to shift to the P (Park) position.
Be sure the power switch is in the “OFF” position when performing any parts replacement or repairs.
If you must work with the engine running, keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools away from moving fans, belts and any other moving parts.
It is advisable to secure or remove any loose clothing and remove any jewellery, such as rings, watches, etc. before working on your vehicle.
Always wear eye protection whenever you work on your vehicle.
If you must run the engine in an enclosed space such as a garage, be sure there is proper ventilation for exhaust gases to escape.
Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by a jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands.
Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks away from fuel and the battery.
On petrol engine models with the Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) system, the fuel filter and fuel lines should be serviced by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop because the fuel lines are under high pressure even when the e-POWER system is turned off.
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic engine cooling fan. It may come on at any time without warning, even if the power switch is in the “OFF” position and the e-POWER system is not running. To avoid injury, always disconnect the negative battery cable before working near the fan.
Do not work under the bonnet while the engine is hot. Turn the e-POWER system off and wait until it cools down.
Avoid direct contact with used engine oil and coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil, and engine coolant and/or other vehicle fluids can damage the environment. Always conform to local regulations for disposal of vehicle fluid.
Never leave the e-POWER system or transmission related component harness connector disconnected while the power switch is in the ON position.
Never connect or disconnect the battery or any transistorised component while the power switch is in the ON position.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section gives instructions regarding only those items which are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
You should be aware that incomplete or improper servicing may result in operating difficulties or excessive emissions, and could affect your warranty coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
