INFINITI DIRECT RESPONSE HYBRIDTM
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Direct Response HybridTM System combines the power of a gasoline engine and an electric motor to help minimize fuel consumption and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle runs on a combination of the gasoline engine and the electric motor, whichever is best for those conditions.
Because the gasoline engine charges the Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, the battery does not have to be charged from an outside source like an all-electric vehicle.
LITHIUM-ION (Li-ion) BATTERY
WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium ion (Li-ion) high voltage battery. If the Li-ion battery is disposed of improperly, there is a risk of severe burns and electrical shock that may result in serious injury or death and there is also a risk of environmental damage.
CAUTION
Do not misuse of Li-ion battery (to use the Li-ion battery for completely another purpose).
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the electric motors in the INFINITI Direct Response HybridTM System.
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life. Contact your INFINITI retailer for information about recycling or disposal of the battery.
Hybrid System-2 Hybrid System Overview
HIGH VOLTAGE CAUTIONS
WARNING
.The INFINITI Direct Response HybridTM System uses high voltage up to approximately 408 volts. The system can be hot while and after starting. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature. Obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.
.Never disassemble, remove or replace high-voltage parts and harnesses as well as their connectors. Doing so could cause severe burns or an electric shock that may result in serious injury or death. High-voltage harnesses are colored orange. The vehicle high voltage system has no user serviceable parts. Take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer for any necessary maintenance.
.Never try to remove the service plug located in the trunk. 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.
ROAD ACCIDENT CAUTIONS
WARNING
In case of a collision:
.If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehicle off the road, put the transmission in the P (Park) position, apply the
parking brake and turn the INFINITI Direct Response HybridTM System off.
.Check to see if there are exposed high voltage parts and cables. Never touch the parts and cables. For their locations, see “High voltage components” later in this section. To avoid personal injury, never touch high-voltage wiring, connectors, and other high-voltage parts, such as electric motor inverter and Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery. An electric shock may occur if exposed electric wires are visible when viewed from inside or outside of your vehicle. Therefore, never touch exposed electric wires.
.If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location and check the floor.
.Inspect the ground under the vehicle. If liquid has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged.
Leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
.Leaks or damage to the Li-ion battery may result in a fire. If you discover them, contact emergency services immediately. Since the fluid leak may be lithium organic electrolyte from the Li-ion battery, never touch the fluid leak inside or outside the vehicle. If the fluid contacts your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to help avoid serious injury.
.If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible. Only use a type ABC, BC or C fire extinguisher that is meant for use on electrical fires. Using water or the incorrect fire extinguisher can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
.If you are not able to safely assess the vehicle due to vehicle damage, do not touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise 1st responders that this is a hybrid vehicle.
.In the event of an accident that requires body repair and painting, the vehicle should be delivered to an INFINITI
retailer to have the Li-ion battery pack and high voltage parts such as the inverter, including the wiring harness, removed prior to painting. Li-ion battery packs exposed to heat in the paint booth will experience capacity loss. Damaged Li-ion battery packs may also pose safety risks to untrained mechanics and repair personnel.
Hybrid System Overview Hybrid System-3
EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM |
OPERATION OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM |
The emergency shut-off system is activated and the high-voltage system automatically turns off in the following conditions:
.Front and side collisions in which the air bags are deployed.
. Certain rear collisions.
.Certain INFINITI Direct Response HybridTM System malfunctions
For the above collisions and the certain hybrid system malfunctions, the READY to drive indicator light will turn off. See “Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls”.
The emergency shut-off activates for the above collisions to minimize risk of an event that could cause injury or an accident. If the emergency shut-off system activates, the hybrid system may not switched to READY to drive position, contact an INFINITI retailer. Even if the ignition switch is switched to READY to drive position, the system may shut-off suddenly. Therefore, drive cautiously to the nearest INFINITI retailer or contact an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
Depress the brake pedal and place the ignition switch in the ON position when the transmission is in the P (Park) position or N (Neutral) position (P is recommended) to start the INFINITI Direct Response HybridTM System.
The READY to drive indicator light flashes until hybrid system becomes the ready to drive mode.
When the READY to drive indicator light illuminates, the vehicle can be driven, even if the gasoline engine is not
running.
NOTE:
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. It may stop during low speed driving, deceleration or when the vehicle is stopped.
The gasoline engine may automatically run in the following conditions:
.The level of remaining charge in the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery is low. The engine runs to charge the Li-ion battery and to provide power to the drive the vehicle.
.The temperature of the engine coolant is low.
. Based on driving conditions.
.The selector lever is shifted to the P (Park) position, the driver’s seat belt is released and the driver’s side door is then opened.
The hybrid system operates as follows based on driving conditions and the Li-ion battery charge.
STARTING AND SLOW SPEED DRIVING
The vehicle is driven by the electric motor depending on the available Li-ion battery charge.
MEDIUM OR HIGH SPEED DRIVING
The system automatically controls the gasoline engine and electric motor in order to obtain the optimum fuel mileage and performance, depending on the driving situation and available Li-ion battery charge.
When the remaining battery level is low, the Li-ion battery is charged by the electric motor that is driven to generate electric power while the vehicle is driving.
Hybrid System-4 Hybrid System Overview
RAPID ACCELERATION
The vehicle is accelerated using both the gasoline engine and the electric motor depending on the available Li-ion battery charge.
DECELERATION AND BRAKING
The Li-ion battery is charged by the electric motor that changes the energy of the rotating wheels into electric power. See “Regenerative brake” later in this section.
STOPPING
The gasoline engine may stop running to save fuel depending on the available Li-ion battery charge.
ENERGY MONITORS
The INFINITI Direct Response HybridTM System monitors the status of power being sent to the electric motor and the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery state of charge. The status is shown on the assist charge gauge in the meter and the energy flow/remaining Li-ion battery charge in the dot matrix display. System status can also be shown on the navigation system display (if so equipped) when the screen is in the energy flow mode or energy/fuel history mode.

When the vehicle decelerates while the vehicle is driven with the selector lever in the D (drive) position or in the manual shift mode, the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery can be charged by the electric motor. The electric motor converts the energy of the rotating wheels into electric power under the following circumstances:
. When the accelerator pedal is released.
. When the brake pedal is depressed
.When there is no malfunction in the
brake system or the INFINITI Direct Response HybridTM System
The regenerative brake may not work properly if the vehicle is installed with tires and road wheels other than the ones specified in this manual.
Drive your vehicle with smooth acceleration and deceleration.
.While driving, energy is recovered through the regenerative brake as the vehicle decelerates. However, for most efficient use, do not accelerate or decelerate your vehicle more than necessary.
.Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
.The power of the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery can be checked on the Energy Flow in the center display (models with navigation system) or Li-ion battery status meter in the dot matrix display. See “Energy Flow (models with navigation system)” or “Trip computer” in the “2. Instruments and controls” section. Gradual or non-abrupt acceleration and deceleration will make more effective use of the electric using gasoline engine power.
.When parking, be sure to place the selector lever in the P (Park) position. While driving, place the selector lever in the D (Drive) position.
Hybrid System-8 Hybrid System Overview
APPROACHING VEHICLE SOUND FOR PEDESTRIANS (VSP) SYSTEM
The Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) system is a function that uses sound to help alert pedestrians of the presence of the vehicle when it is being driven at a low speed in the electric drive mode under the following conditions:
.The sound starts when the vehicle starts accelerating.
.The sound stops when the vehicle speed is more than 19 MPH (30 km/h) while accelerating.
.The sound starts when the vehicle speed is less than 16 MPH (25 km/h) while decelerating.
.The sound stops when the vehicle stops.
.The sound does not stop with the vehicle in the R (Reverse) position even if the vehicle stops.
The VSP system is automatically turned on when the vehicle is in the ready to drive mode.
If there is a malfunction in the VSP system, the VSP OFF indicator light in the meter illuminates. See “Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) OFF indicator light” in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.

The hybrid system uses high voltage up to approximately 408 volts. High voltage components are indicated in the illustra-
tion. High voltage harnesses are orange. The system can be hot while and after starting. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature.
HYBRID VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
.When you leave your vehicle, be sure to place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
.Be sure to put the transmission in the P (Park) position because the vehicle can move when the READY to drive indicator light is on even if the gasoline engine is not running. When the READY to drive indicator light is on, do not leave your vehicle in a shift position other than the P (Park) position. The vehicle will creep and start abruptly if the accelerator pedal is depressed by mistake. This may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is parked for a long period of time, the battery discharges gradually. To
avoid this occurrence, drive the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes at least once every two to three months. Otherwise, the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery may be damaged. If the Li-ion battery is completely discharged and the hybrid system cannot be activated, contact an INFINITI retailer.
High voltage parts and harnesses on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline-powered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shieldings. Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of a mobile two-way radio.
Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is important. The vehicle cannot run if the Liion battery is discharged. In the N (Neutral) position, the Li-ion battery does not recharge. Leaving the transmission in the N (Neutral) position for an extended period of time may discharge the Li-ion battery. The Li-ion battery recharges when the shift selector is in any position other than N (Neutral).
