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 yo\
u that the car is still ON.
Do not store your INFINITI Intelligent Key within the 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. Ac\
tivation of 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.
The ready to drive indicator light illuminates when the hybrid system is powered and the
vehicle may be driven.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Direct Response Hybrid™ System Warning Light
This light will illuminate when the ignition switch is in the ON positio\
n
and will extinguish 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 INFINITI 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.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display 1 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 extinguish when the
vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened
and the or button 2 is pressed.
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.
