(Hybrid Electric only)
Your Infiniti Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) has
both high-voltage DC and AC systems as well
as a 12-volt system. Both DC and AC high
voltage are very dangerous and can cause
personal injury, severe burns, electric shock and
even fatal injury.
To avoid personal injury, please follow all
caution labels attached to high-voltage parts.
Do not touch or attempt to remove or replace
any high-voltage wiring and connectors.
If an accident occurs, do not touch any high-
voltage wiring, connectors or parts such as the
inverter unit or high voltage battery assembly.
Do not touch the potassium hydroxide
electrolyte that might spill or leak from the
high voltage battery as the result of an
accident. If potassium hydroxide electrolyte
gets on your skin or in your eyes, neutralize
it immediately with a saturated boric acid
solution (ratio: 80 grams boric acid to
two liters water.) Seek immediate medical
attention.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish it with a
Class D powder-type fire extinguisher.
Infiniti recommends having maintenance and
repairs for your Infiniti Hybrid performed by
an authorized Infiniti retailer. To locate your
nearest authorized Infiniti retailer, contact
the Infiniti Consumer Affairs Department at
1–800–662–6200.

3INFINITI OWNER SATISFACTION AND ASSISTANCE
Both Infiniti and your Infiniti retailer are
dedicated to serving all your automotive needs.
Your complete satisfaction is our primary
concern. Your Infiniti retailer is available to
assist you with all your automobile sales, parts
and service requirements.
If, however, a situation arises that you believe
has not been addressed to your satisfaction,
we ask that you take the following steps.
STEP 1:
Discuss the situation with the retailer’s
management. If a problem still exists, contact
the retailer’s owner. Your Infiniti retailer is best
equipped to resolve the matter for you.
STEP 2:
If the concern has still not been addressed to
your satisfaction, please contact our Infiniti
Consumer Affairs Department using our toll
free number:
1–800–662–6200
The Consumer Affairs Department will ask for
the following information:
• Your name, address, and telephone number
• Vehicle identification number (on dashboard and permanent Infiniti Total Ownership
program card)
• Date of purchase
• Current odometer reading
• Your Infiniti retailer’s name
• Details of the concern Or you can write to Infiniti with the above
information at:
INFINITI DIVISION
Nissan North America, Inc.
Consumer Affairs Department
P.O. Box 685003
Franklin, TN 37068-5003
STEP 3:
In the event that you believe Infiniti has been
unable to satisfactorily address the problem,
a special automotive complaint resolution
program called BBB AUTO LINE is available
to you. The BBB AUTO LINE program is
independently operated by the Council of
Better Business Bureaus, Inc. (BBB).
For information about the BBB AUTO LINE in
your area, please call us (Infiniti) at the same
toll free number (1-800-662-6200).
We will be happy to provide you with the
address and phone number of your local BBB
office or any other information about AUTO
LINE.
Or you may contact the BBB at:
BBB Auto Line
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
3033 Wilson Blvd. Suite 600
Arlington, VA 22201
1 (800) 955-5100
If you call the BBB, its staff will record the
details of your complaint by telephone. They
will ask for the same information as in Step 2. The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of
two parts: mediation and arbitration. The
BBB AUTO LINE staff will attempt to provide
suggestions for resolving the problem during
mediation. If a satisfactory resolution has
not been achieved during mediation, you will
have the opportunity to present your case
personally before an impartial arbitrator or
three person panel. This is the arbitration part
of AUTOLINE. The arbitrator(s)will make a
decision after the arbitration hearing.
The BBB will, inmost cases, send you a final
decision in your case within forty (40) days
(plus 7 days, if you have not contacted Infiniti)
unless you delay the process. If you accept
the decision, it will be legally binding on you
and Infiniti. If you do not accept the decision,
it will not be legally binding on you or Infiniti.
However, in some states, if the decision is not
accepted, it may be introduced either by you
or by Infiniti as evidence in a subsequent court
action.

4INFINITI OWNER SATISFACTION AND ASSISTANCE
BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute
settlement mechanism operated to
comply with applicable Federal law and
regulations. In states where BBB AUTO
LINE is available, you are required to use
BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights
or seeking remedies under Title 1 of the
Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act,
15 U.S.C.§2301, et. seq. If you choose to
seek remedies other than those created by
Title 1 of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty
Act, (for example, under state law), that
Federal Act does not require you to first
use BBB AUTO LINE. The program is still
available to you, however, and may be
of considerable assistance. Some states
specify that informal dispute settlement
mechanisms such as BBB AUTO LINE must
be used before you may use state operated
complaint resolution processes, before you
may file a lawsuit under state law, and/or
before you may have certain other rights
or remedies available under state law. In
accordance with those states’ laws, Infiniti
requires the prior use of BBB AUTO LINE
in good faith before you resort to such
other processes, file a lawsuit, or seek other
remedies provided by state law. Please see
theSupplement to 2018 Infiniti Warranty
Information Booklet & 2018 Infiniti Owner’s
Manual for additional information. BBB AUTO LINE may not be available in
all states. We, Infiniti, can provide you with
information about the availability of BBB
AUTO LINE in your state, or call the BBB
AUTO LINE number listed above.
ELIGIBILITY: Generally, Infiniti vehicles less
than four years old from date delivered to the
first retail buyer or otherwise put into use, and
with fewer than 60,000 miles, are eligible
for the program. See Supplement to 2018
Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet & 2018
Infiniti Owner’s Manual for possible exceptions
applying in your state.
ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF
WARRANTY
In support of our commitment to the
“Total Ownership Experience,” Infiniti may
occasionally offer to pay or reimburse for part
or all of the cost of making certain, specific
repairs beyond or outside of the terms of the
warranty for some specific vehicle models.
(Some states refer to such programs as
“adjustment programs”). In such circumstances
Infiniti mails notices to all known registered
owners of affected vehicles. You may
additionally inquire of your authorized Infiniti
retailer or of Infiniti directly at the number
listed below of the applicability of such
programs to your vehicle.
Infiniti may occasionally offer special
assistance that may pay for part or all of
vehicle repairs beyond the expiration of
the limited warranty period on a case by
case basis. Should you experience unusual
difficulties with your vehicle please discuss the
situation with your retailer. If your retailer is
unable to assist you, you may call the Infiniti
Consumer Affairs Department at 1-800- 662-
6200 to discuss your concern. You will need to
provide the Model, Model Year, VIN (Vehicle
Identification Number), mileage, maintenance
history, a detailed explanation of the concern,
and why you believe that Infiniti should be
responsible for the repair. Your request will
be individually investigated and you will be
informed of Infiniti‘s decision.
Please also review the Supplement to 2018
Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet & 2018
Owner’s Manual for important information
concerning consumer rights in your state.

exercising rights or seeking remedies under
the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty
Act, 15 U.S.C §2301, et. seq. You are not
required to first use BBB AUTO LINE if
you seek remedies not created by Title 1 of
that Federal law, but are required to first

created by state law, including your state’s
lemon law, if applicable state law provides
