display INFINITI QX60 HYBRID 2015 Owner's Manual

●Frequent short-distance driving can re-
duce fuel economy
5. Use Cruise Control
● Using cruise control during highway driv-
ing helps maintain a steady speed
● Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on flat
terrains
6. Plan for the Shortest Route
● Utilize a map or navigation system to de-
termine the best route to save time
7. Avoid Idling
● Shutting off your engine when safe for
stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
● Automated passes permit drivers to use
special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting
9. Winter Warm Up
● Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel
economy ●
Vehicles typically need no more than
30 seconds of idling at start-up to effec-
tively circulate the engine oil before driv-
ing
● Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating
temperature more quickly while driving
versus idling
● Park your vehicle in moderate ambient
temperatures when possible
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
● Park your vehicle in a covered parking
area or in the shade whenever possible
● When entering a hot vehicle, opening the
windows will help to reduce the inside
temperature faster, resulting in reduced
demand on your A/C system
11. Cargo
● Avoid transporting unnecessary luggage
in the vehicle
● Avoid carrying luggage in the roof rack
which can increase aerodynamic drag
12. Break-in
● Your vehicle may need a break-in period
for more than 4,000 miles to improve the
fuel economy ●
Avoid measuring fuel economy within ini-
tial 1,200 miles
13. Use D (Drive)
● Avoid using the Manual Shift mode and
selecting the Sports mode whenever
possible
NOTE:
In order to display the correct fuel
economy, reset the fuel economy meter
first.
5-92Starting and driving

●Keep your engine tuned up.
● Follow the recommended scheduled main-
tenance.
● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-
sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
● Keep all the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
● Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
For additional information, refer to “Engine
oil and oil filter recommendations” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual. If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent AWD
system while the engine is running, messages are
displayed in the meter.
If the AWD error warning message is displayed,
there may be a malfunction in the Intelligent AWD
system. Reduce vehicle speed and have your
vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible.

INCREASING FUEL ECONOMYINTELLIGENT AWD (if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-93

The AWD high temperature message may be
displayed while trying to free a stuck vehicle due
to increased oil temperature. The driving mode
may change to 2-wheel drive. If this message is
displayed, stop the vehicle with the engine idling,
as soon as it is safe to do so. Then if the message
turns off, you can continue driving.The tire size message may be displayed if there is
a large difference between the diameters of front
and rear wheels. Pull off the road in a safe area,
with the engine idling. Check that all tire sizes are
the same, that the tire pressure is correct and that
the tires are not excessively worn.
If any warning messages continue to be dis-
played, have your vehicle checked by an INFINITI
retailer as soon as possible.
WARNING
●
Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires. Accelerating
quickly, sharp steering maneuvers or
sudden braking may cause loss of con-
trol, even with Intelligent AWD
engaged.
● For AWD equipped vehicles, do not at-
tempt to raise 2 wheels off the ground
and shift the transmission to any drive
or reverse position with the engine run-
ning. Doing so may result in drivetrain
damage or unexpected vehicle move-
ment which could result in serious per-
sonal injury or vehicle damage.
LSD2083LSD2084
5-94Starting and driving

●Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dyna-
mometer (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions test-
ing) or similar equipment even if the
other 2 wheels are raised off the
ground. Make sure that you inform the
test facility personnel that your vehicle
is equipped with AWD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in
serious personal injury or vehicle
damage.
CAUTION
●Do not operate the engine on a free
roller when any of the wheels are
raised.
● If you use the free roller, rotate 4 wheels
with the same speed without raising
any wheels.
● If an AWD warning message is dis-
played while driving there may be a
malfunction in the AWD system. Reduce
the vehicle speed immediately and have
your vehicle checked by an INFINITI re-
tailer as soon as possible. ●
The powertrain may be damaged if you
continue driving when the AWD tem-
perature or tire size incorrect messages
are displayed
● If the AWD high temperature message
is displayed while you are driving, pull
off the road in a safe area, and idle the
engine. The driving mode will change to
2WD to prevent the AWD system from
malfunctioning. If the warning message
turns off, you can drive again.
● If the tire size incorrect message is dis-
played while you are driving, pull off the
road in a safe area with the engine
idling. Check that all tire sizes are the
same, that the tire pressure is correct
and that the tires are not excessively
worn.
● If a warning message continues to be
displayed after the above operations,
have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
Starting and driving5-95

The Front Sonar System sounds a tone to warn
the driver of obstacles near the front bumper. The
front sonar system automatically turns on when
the shift lever is placed in a forward gear and the
ignition switch is in the ON position. The system
may not detect objects at speeds above 3 MPH
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The Front Sonar System detects obstacles up to
3 feet (1.0 m) from the front bumper with a
decreased coverage area at the outer corners of
the bumper, (refer to the illustration for approxi-
mate zone coverage areas) . As you move closer
to the obstacle, the rate of the tone increases.
When the obstacle is less than 10 inches
(25.0 cm) away, the tone will sound continuously.
If it detects a stationary or receding object further
than 10 inches (25.0 cm) from the side of the
vehicle, the tone will sound for only 3 seconds.
Once the system detects an object approaching,
the tone will sound again.
The front and rear sonar system OFF switch on
the instrument panel allows the driver to turn the
sonar system on and off. To turn the system off,
the ignition must be ON, and the shift lever in R
(Reverse) or D (Drive) . An indicator light on the
switch will illuminate when the system is turned
off. If the indicator light illuminates when the
system is not turned off, it may indicate a failure in
the sonar system.Keep the front and rear sonar sensors (located on
the bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt (do not clean the sensors
with sharp objects) . If the sensors are covered, it
will affect the accuracy of the sonar system.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The system informs with a visual and audible
signal of front obstacles when the shift lever is in
the D (Drive) position and both front and rear
obstacles when the shift lever is in the R (Re-
verse) position.

The system is deactivated at speeds above
10 km/h (6 mph) . It is reactivated at lower
speeds. The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds
when an obstacle is detected by only the corner
sensor and the distance does not change. The
tone will stop when the obstacle get away from
the vehicle.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds
intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow
and the rate of the blinking increase. When the
vehicle is very close to the object, the indicator
stops blinking and turns red, and the tone sounds
continuously.
5-104Starting and driving

To shut off the engine in an emergency situation
while driving, perform the following procedure:
– Rapidly push the push-button ignition switchthree consecutive times in less than 1.5 sec-
onds, or
– Push and hold the push-button ignition switch for more than 2 seconds.TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When
the low tire pressure warning light is lit, and the
“Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning appears in
the vehicle information display, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
equipped, the system also displays pressure of
all tires (except the spare tire) on the display
screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel. If the vehicle is being
driven with low tire pressure, the TPMS will acti-
vate and warn you of it by the low tire pressure
warning light. This system will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph
(25 km/h). For additional information, refer to
“Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders”
in the “Instruments and controls” section and
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this manual.
WARNING
●Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use. ●
If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle
as soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon
as possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.

the “In case of emergency” section of this
manual for additional information.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect elec-
tric medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.
This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When
the low tire pressure warning light is lit and the
Tire Pressure Low - Add Air warning appears in
the vehicle information display, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
equipped, the system also displays pressure of
all tires (except the spare tire) on the display
screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while driving) . For additional information, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section and “Flat tire” in the “In case of
emergency” section.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) often and always prior to long dis-
tance trips. The recommended tire pres-
sure specifications are shown on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label
or the Tire and Loading Information label
under the “Cold Tire Pressure” heading.
The Tire and Loading Information label is
affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire
pressures should be checked regularly
because:
● Most tires naturally lose air over time.
● Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other objects
or if the vehicle strikes a curb while
parking. The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate
speeds.
TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator pro-
vides visual and audible signals outside
the vehicle for inflating the tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure. For
additional information, refer to “TPMS
with Tire Inflation Indicator” in the “Start-
ing and driving” section.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
