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.
