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 vehicle
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

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.
