new system features
Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) System
the vS p system helps alert pedestrians to the presence of the vehicle when it is being driven
at a low speed.

when the vehicle starts to move, it produces a sound. the sound stops when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 19 MpH (30 km/h) while accelerating.

this sound will activate again when decelerating to a speed less than 16 MpH (25 km/h).
For more information, refer to the “Hybrid System Overview” section of your Owner’s Manual.
Rear Sonar System (if so equipped)
with the shift lever in the R (REVERSE) position, this
system will sound a tone and the sonar indicator

01
will appear in the front display to alert you to
obstacles within up to 3.9 feet (1.2 m) from the
bumper with a decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper.

the system tones faster as the vehicle gets closer to
the obstacle. A continuous tone sounds when an
obstacle is less than 11.8 in (30 cm) from the bumper.

turn the system off by pushing the Rear Sonar System
off switch

02 . p
ush the switch again to activate
the system.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

essential information
Direct Response Hybrid™ System Warning Light
this light will illuminate when the ignition switch is in
the ON position and will turn off when the hybrid
system is started.

the light will also illuminate when a malfunction
occurs in the electric motor or hybrid system.

when this light illuminates while driving, immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe location and contact an I nFI nIt I retailer.

If the hybrid system warning light blinks while driving, it may indicate that the Li-ion battery
charge is low and you cannot continue to drive.

do not allow the vehicle to coast when the Li-ion battery is low or when the hybrid system
warning light blinks while driving. the engine will not automatically start to charge the Li-ion
battery while the vehicle is coasting.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Hybrid Awareness

your vehicle is virtually silent in the electric mode. If you exit your vehicle while it is ON, but the
engine is not running, the engine will automatically start, informing you that the car is still ON.

do not store your InFInItI Intelligent k ey™ within detection range of the vehicle. this may
cause welcome lights and other functions to activate creating unwanted battery drain.

the hybrid system is designed for optimum efficiency and performance. the electric mode
may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full battery display does not indicate the
vehicle should be in the electric mode.
For more information, refer to the “Hybrid System Overview” section of your Owner’s Manual.
Loose Fuel Cap

A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in the
dot matrix liquid crystal display

01 when the fuel-
filler cap is not tightened correctly.

to tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click
is heard.

the warning message will disappear when the vehicle
detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the
reset button

02 is pressed for more than 1 second.

If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction
Indicator Light

may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and
the
“Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A CHECk tIRE PRESSURE warning message will
appear in the dot matrix liquid crystal display

01
and the low tire pressure warning light
02 will

illuminate when one or more tires are low on
pressure and air is needed.
• The tire pressures should be checked when the
tires are cold. the tires are considered cold after
the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle
at speeds above 16 MpH (25km/h). the CHECk tIRE
PRESSURE warning message and low tire pressure
warning light will disappear.

when the low tire pressure warning light flashes
for 1 minute and then remains on, the tpMS is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked by
an InFInItI retailer.

tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the
outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the
tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. this may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check
the tire pressure in your tires.
• Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior to long distance trips.

the tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. please refer to section 9,
“technical and consumer information”, in your Owner’s Manual for the location of the tire and
Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
