trunk INFINITI Q50-HYBRID 2018 Owners Manual

Hybrid System-2Hybrid System Overview
The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®Sys-
tem combines the power of a gasoline
engine and an electric motor to help mini-
mize fuel consumption and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle
runs on a combination of the gasoline engine
and the electric motor, whichever is best for
those conditions.
Because the gasoline engine charges the
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, the
battery does not have to be charged from an
outside source like an all-electric vehicle.
WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium
ion (Li-ion) high voltage battery. If the
Li-ion battery is disposed of improperly,
there is a risk of severe burns and
electrical shock that may result in ser-
ious injury or death and there is also a
risk of environmental damage.
CAUTION
. Do not misuse the Li-ion battery.
. Do not use the Li-ion battery for any
other purpose.
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the
electric motors in the INFINITI Direct Re-
sponse Hybrid
®System.
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life. It
is recommended that you contact your
INFINITI retailer for information about re-
cycling or disposal of the battery.
WARNING
. The INFINITI Direct Response Hy-
brid®System uses high voltage up to
approximately 408 volts. The system
can be hot during and after starting.
Be careful of both the high voltage
and the high temperature. Obey the
warning labels attached to the vehi-
cle.
. Never disassemble, remove or replace
high-voltage parts and harnesses as
well as their connectors. Doing so can
cause severe burns or electric shock
that may result in serious injury or
death. High-voltage harnesses are
colored orange. The vehicle high
voltage system has no user service-
able parts. It is recommended that
you take your vehicle to an INFINITI
retailer for any necessary mainte-
nance.
. Never try to remove the service plug
located in the trunk. The service plug
is used only when the vehicle is
serviced by trained technicians wear-
ing personal protection equipment
and is part of the high voltage
system. Touching the service plug
can cause severe burns or electric
shock that may result in serious injury

Power steering warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the power steering warning light
illuminates. After starting the hybrid system,
the power steering warning light stays on for
a few seconds and turns off. This indicates
that Direct Adaptive Steering is operational.
Drive the vehicle after the power steering
warning light turns off.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while driving, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle. If the
power steering warning light turns off, you
can drive again. If the power steering
warning light continues to illuminate, it is
recommended you have Direct Adaptive
Steering checked by an INFINITI retailer.
(See “Power steering” (P.5-126).)

time, the chime will sound for about 6
seconds unless the driver’s seat belt is
securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front

not fastened when the front passenger’s
seat is occupied.
See “Seat belts” (P.1-9) for precautions on
seat belt usage.

impact air bag systems and/or pretensioner
seat belt are operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, supplemental
side air bag, supplemental curtain side-
impact air bag and pretensioner seat belt
needs servicing.
