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. 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 additional
accessories installed by INFINITI or by your
INFINITI retailer prior to delivery. It is
important that you familiarize yourself with
all disclosures, warnings, cautions and instructions concerning proper use of such
accessories prior to operating the vehicle

INFINITI DIRECT RESPONSE
HYBRID
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.

effective use of the electric motor
power, using less 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.
REGENERATIVE BRAKE
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 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
Hybrid System-10 Hybrid System Overview
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,
it is recommended that you 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 twoway radio.
Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is
important. The vehicle cannot run if the Liion battery is discharged. When in the N
(Neutral), D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position,
and while the accelerator pedal or the brake
pedal is not depressed, the Li-ion battery
does not recharge. Leaving the transmission
in the N (Neutral), D (Drive) or R (Reverse)
position, and while the accelerator pedal or
the brake pedal is not depressed for an
extended period of time (for example, when
the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and
the vehicle is stopped only by the parking
brake), may discharge the Li-ion battery and
the hybrid system may automatically be
turned off.
JVO0019X
An air vent is located on the rear parcel
shelf to cool the Li-ion battery. If the vent is
covered, the battery will overheat resulting
in reduced output performance of the hybrid
system. See “Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery air
vent” (P.7-5).
