essential information
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.
For more information, refer to the “Hybrid System Overview (section Hybrid System)” of your Owner’s Manual.
