warning light INFINITI QX60-HYBRID 2015 Owners Manual

●In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle
should be delivered to an INFINITI re-
tailer to have the Li-ion battery pack
and high-voltage parts such as the in-
verter, including the wiring harness, re-
moved prior to painting. Li-ion battery
packs exposed to heat in the paint
booth will experience capacity loss.
Damaged Li-ion battery packs may also
pose safety risks to untrained mechan-
ics and repair personnel. The emergency shut-off system is activated and
the high-voltage system automatically turns off in
the following conditions:
● Front and side collisions in which the air
bags are deployed.
● Certain rear collisions.
● Certain INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®
System malfunctions
For the above collisions and the certain hybrid
system malfunctions, the READY to drive indica-
tor light will turn off. For additional information,
refer to “Warning/indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion of this manual.
The emergency shut-off activates for the above
collisions to minimize risk of an event that could
cause injury or an accident. If the emergency
shut-off system activates, the hybrid system may
not switch to READY to drive position, contact an
INFINITI retailer. Even if the ignition switch is
switched to READY to drive position, the system
may shut off suddenly. Therefore, drive cautiously
to the nearest INFINITI retailer or contact an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible. To start the INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®
System, depress the brake pedal and place the
ignition switch in the ON position when the trans-
mission is in the P (Park) position or N (Neutral)
position (P is recommended) .
CAUTION
Do not start the system in N (Neutral)
position under cold condition of the sys-
tem. Start in the P (Park) position in that
case.
The READY to drive indicator light
flashes
until the hybrid system is ready to drive.
If starting in a low temperature environment, the
flashing time of the READY lamp becomes lon-
ger. It cannot move out from P (Park) during
flashing.
When the READY to drive indicator light
illuminates, the vehicle can be driven, even if the
gasoline engine is not running.
NOTE:
The gasoline engine starts and stops auto-
matically. It may stop during deceleration
or when the vehicle is stopped.
EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM
HEV-4HEV Overview

The Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians
(VSP) system is a function that uses sound to
help alert pedestrians of the presence of the
vehicle when it is being driven at a low speed in
the electric drive mode under the following con-
ditions:● The sound starts when the vehicle starts
accelerating.
● The sound stops when the vehicle speed is
more than 19 MPH (30 km/h) while acceler-
ating only when vehicle is powered by the
electric motor.
● The sound starts when the vehicle speed is
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h) while deceler-
ating only when vehicle is powered by the
electric motor.
● The sound stops when the vehicle stops.
● The sound does not stop with the vehicle in
the R (Reverse) position even if the vehicle
stops.
The VSP system is automatically turned on when
the vehicle is in the READY to drive mode. If there is a malfunction in the VSP system, the
VSP OFF indicator light in the meter illuminates.
For additional information, refer to “Approaching
Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) OFF indi-
cator light” in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion of this manual.
WARNING
●
If the sound from the VSP system is not
heard while driving, stop the vehicle in a
safe and quiet location. Open a window,
and then place the vehicle in the R (Re-
verse) position with the brake pedal
firmly depressed. Check that the oper-
ating sound can be heard from the front
side of the vehicle.
● If the sound cannot be heard, immedi-
ately contact an INFINITI retailer for
inspection.
HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTS
AND THEIR LOCATIONS
WARNING
●The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®
System uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately 144 volts. The system can be hot
during and after starting. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the high tem-
perature. Obey the warning labels at-
tached to the vehicle.
● Never touch, disassemble, remove or
replace the high-voltage parts, har-
nesses and their connectors. High-
voltage harnesses are orange. Touch-
ing, disassembling, removing or
replacing those parts and harnesses
can cause severe burns or electric
shock that may result in serious injury
or death.

HEV OverviewHEV-11

HYBRID VEHICLE
CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
●When you leave your vehicle, be sure to
place the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
● Be sure to put the transmission in the P
(Park) position because the vehicle can
move when the READY to drive indica-
tor light is on even if the gasoline en-
gine is not running. When the READY to
drive indicator light is on, do not leave
your vehicle in a shift position other
than the P (Park) position. The vehicle
will creep and start abruptly if the accel-
erator pedal is depressed by mistake.
This may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
●If the vehicle is parked for a long period
of time, the battery discharges gradu-
ally. To avoid this occurrence, drive the
vehicle for approximately 30 minutes at
least once every two to three months.
Otherwise, the Lithium ion (Li-ion) bat-
tery may be damaged. If the Li-ion bat-
tery is completely discharged and the
hybrid system cannot be activated, con-
tact an INFINITI retailer.
High-voltage parts and harnesses on the hybrid
vehicles emit approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as the conventional
gasoline-powered vehicles or home electronic
appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shieldings.
Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is impor-
tant. The vehicle cannot run if the Li-ion battery is
discharged. In the N (Neutral) position, the Li-ion
battery does not recharge. Leaving the transmis-
sion in the N (Neutral) position for an extended
period of time may discharge the Li-ion battery.
The Li-ion battery recharges when the shift lever
is in any position other than N (Neutral) . An air vent is located on the rear side trim panels
Ato cool the high-voltage battery. If the vent is
covered, the battery will overheat resulting in
reduced output performance of the hybrid sys-
tem. For additional information, refer to “Lithium-
ion (Li-ion) battery air vent” in the “Appearance
and care” section of this manual.
You may hear the noise of the cooling fan from the
air vent.
CAUTION
Do not place objects over or into the air
vent. The Li-ion battery or DC/DC con-
verter may overheat and be damaged.

WARNING
●Always route the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put the belt behind your back,
under your arm or across your neck. The
belt should be away from your face and
neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
● Position the lap belt as low and snug as
possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE
WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could
increase the risk of internal injuries in
an accident. ●
Be sure the seat belt tongue is securely
fastened to the proper buckle.
● Do not wear the seat belt inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
● Do not allow more than one person to
use the same seat belt.
● Never carry more people in the vehicle
than there are seat belts.
● If the seat belt warning light glows con-
tinuously while the ignition is turned
ON with all doors closed and all seat
belts fastened, it may indicate a mal-
function in the system. Have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
● No changes should be made to the seat
belt system. For example, do not modify
the seat belt, add material, or install
devices that may change the seat belt
routing or tension. Doing so may affect
the operation of the seat belt system.
Modifying or tampering with the seat
belt system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. ●
Once a seat belt pretensioner has acti-
vated, it cannot be reused and must be
replaced together with the retractor.
See your INFINITI retailer.
● Removal and installation of preten-
sioner system components should be
done by an INFINITI retailer.
● All seat belt assemblies, including re-
tractors and attaching hardware, should
be inspected after any collision by an
INFINITI retailer. INFINITI recommends
that all seat belt assemblies in use dur-
ing a collision be replaced unless the
collision was minor and the belts show
no damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies not in
use during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either dam-
age or improper operation is noted.
● All child restraints and attaching hard-
ware should be inspected after any col-
lision. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer’s inspection instructions
and replacement recommendations.
The child restraints should be replaced
if they are damaged.

SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
Both the driver’s and passenger’s front seats are
equipped with a seat belt warning light. The
warning light, located on the instrument panel,
will show the status of the driver and passenger
seat belt.
NOTE:
The front passenger seat belt warning light
will not light up if the seat is not occupied.
For additional information, refer to
“Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders”
in the “Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
PREGNANT WOMEN
INFINITI recommends that pregnant women use
seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug and
always position the lap belt as low as possible
around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder
belt over your shoulder and across your chest.
Never run the lap/shoulder belt over your ab-
dominal area. Contact your doctor for specific
recommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons use
seat belts. Check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH
COMFORT FUNCTION (front seats)
(if so equipped)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt with
a motor to help restrain front seat occupants. This
helps reduce the risk of injury in a collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the follow-
ing emergency conditions:● During emergency braking.
● During sudden steering maneuvers ●
Activation of the Intelligent Brake Assist
(IBA) system. For additional information, re-
fer to “Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system”
in the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
● In the event of certain types of rollover colli-
sions.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active when: ● the seat belt is not fastened.
● the vehicle speed is under 10 mph (15 km/h)
during emergency braking.
● the vehicle speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h)
during sudden steering maneuvers or cer-
tain types of rollover collisions.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active when
the brake pedal is not depressed except when
sudden steering maneuvers occur and the Intel-
ligent Brake Assist (IBA) system activates.
The motor also retracts the seat belt when the
seat belt is fastened or unfastened. When the
seat belt is fastened, the motor tightens the seat
belt for a snug fit. When the seat belt is unfas-
tened, the motor retracts the seat belt. If the seat
belt is not fully retracted, the motor retracts the
seat belt when the door is opened.
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit up-
right and well back.
