Owner’s Manual
Foreword
Your INFINITI represents a new way of
thinking about vehicle design. It integrates
advanced engineering and superior craftsmanship with a simple, refined aesthetic
sensitivity associated with traditional Japanese culture.
The result is a different notion of luxury
and beauty. The car itself is important, but
so is the sense of harmony that the vehicle
evokes in its driver, and the sense of
satisfaction you feel with the INFINITI —
from the way it looks and drives to the high
level of retailer service.
To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to
the fullest, we encourage you to read this
Owner’s Manual immediately. It explains
all of the features, controls and performance characteristics of your INFINITI; it
also provides important instructions and
safety information.
A separate Warranty Information Booklet
is included in your Owner’s literature
portfolio. The INFINITI Service and Maintenance Guide explains details about
maintaining and servicing your vehicle.
Always carry it with you when you take
your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer. The
Warranty Information Booklet contents
provide complete information about all
warranties covering this vehicle, the requirements to keep the warranties in effect
as well as the INFINITI Roadside Assistance program.
Additionally, a separate Customer Care
and Lemon Law Information Booklet will
explain how to resolve any concerns you
may have with your vehicle, as well as
clarify your rights under your state’s
lemon law.
In addition to factory installed options,
your vehicle may also be equipped with

INFINITI DIRECT RESPONSE HYBRID
®
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
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 HIGH VOLTAGE CAUTIONS
®
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 the Li-ion battery.
. Do not use the Li-ion battery for any
other purpose.
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the
electric motors in the INFINITI Direct
Response Hybrid
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life.
Contact your INFINITI retailer for information about recycling or disposal of the
battery.
®
System.
. The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
System uses high voltage up to approximately 408 volts. The system can be hot
during 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 can
cause severe burns or 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

®
System off.
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.

REGENERATIVE BRAKE EFFICIENT USE OF YOUR VEHICLE
When the vehicle decelerates while the
vehicle is driven with the shift 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 Hybrid
The regenerative brake may not work
properly if the vehicle has tires and road
wheels other than the ones specified in
this manual.
®
System.
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 decelera-
tion.
. The power of the Lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery can be checked on the Energy
Flow or Energy monitor. See “Energy
Flow” (P.Hybrid System-5) or “Trip
computer” (P.2-31). Gradual or nonabrupt acceleration and deceleration
will make more effective use of the
electric using gasoline engine power.
. When parking, be sure to place the shift
lever in the P (Park) position. While
driving, place the shift lever in the D
(Drive) position.
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” (P.2-18).

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
lever is in any position other than N
(Neutral).
