2011 INFINITI G-CONVERTIBLE fuel consumption

Each time theswitchAis pushed, the
display will change as follows:
Current fuel consumption →Average fuel con-
sumption and speed →Elapsed time and trip
odometer →Distance to empty (dte) →Outside
air temperature (ICY) →Setting →Warning check
1. Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption mode shows the
current fuel consumption.
2. Average fuel consumption (MPG or
l (liter)/100 km) and speed (MPH or
km/h)
Fuel consumption :
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the
switch
Bfor longer than 1 second. (The average speed
is also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “——”.
Speed :
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since the last reset. Resetting is
done by pushing the
switchBfor longer than 1 second. (The average fuel consumption is
also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. The
first 30 seconds after a reset, the display shows
“——”.
3. Elapsed time and trip odometer
(mls or km)
Elapsed time :
The elapsed time mode shows the time since
the last reset. The displayed time can be reset
by pushing the
switchBfor longer than
1 second. (The trip odometer is also reset at the
same time.)
Trip odometer :
The trip odometer mode shows the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven since the last
reset. Resetting is done by pushing the
switchBfor longer than 1 second. (The
elapsed time is also reset at the same time.)
4. Distance to empty (dte — mls or km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly
being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is
displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to “——”.
● If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position may continue to
be displayed.
● When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momen-
tarily change the display.
5. Outside air temperature (ICY — °F
or °C)
The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or
°C in the range of 22 to 131°F (30 to 55°C).
The outside air temperature mode includes a
low temperature warning feature. If the outside
air temperature is below 37°F (3°C), the warning
is displayed on the screen.
The outside temperature sensor is located in front
of the radiator. The sensor may be affected by
road or engine heat, wind directions and other
driving conditions. The display may differ from
the actual outside temperature or the tempera-
ture displayed on various signs or billboards.

across all pages for the current menu.
5. Footer/Information Line:
Provides more information (if available)
about the menu selection currently high-
lighted.
HOW TO USE STATUS BUTTON
To display the status of the audio, Climate
control system, fuel consumption and naviga-
tion system (if so equipped), push the STATUS
button. The following information will appear
when the STATUS button is pushed repeatedly.
Audio and Climate control system→Audio and
fuel economy →Audio and Navigation system
(if so equipped)
HOW TO USE BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
AND DISPLAY ON/OFF BUTTON
Push the “OFF” button to switch the
display brightness to the daytime mode or the
nighttime mode, and to adjust the display
brightness using the INFINITI controller while

screen.
The display brightness can also be adjusted
using the brightness UP button (+)or bright-
ness DOWN button ()(models with navigation
system).
Push and hold the “
OFF” button for more
than 2 seconds to turn the display off. Push the
button again to turn the display on.

Fuel Economy information
The distance to empty, average fuel economy
and current fuel economy will be displayed for
reference.
To reset the average fuel economy (Avg Fuel
Econ), select the “Reset Fuel Eco” or “Reset”
key.
If the “Fuel Eco History” or “View” key is
selected, the average fuel consumption history
will be displayed in graph form along with the
average for the previous Reset-to-Reset period.
The unit can be converted between “US” and
“Metric”. (See “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON”
later in this section.)
The fuel economy information may differ from
the information displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. This is due to the timing differ-
ence in updating the information and does not
indicate a malfunction.

If any undesirable driveability problems such as
engine stalling or hard hot starting are experi-
enced after using oxygenate-blend fuels, imme-
diately change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel
with a low blend of MTBE.
Take care not to spill gasoline during refueling.
Gasoline containing oxygenates can cause paint
damage.
E-85 fuel
E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel
ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can
only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do
not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. U.S. govern-
ment regulations require fuel ethanol dispens-
ing pumps to be identified by a small, square,
orange and black label with the common abbre-
viation or the appropriate percentage for that
region.
Aftermarket fuel additives
INFINITI does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (Example: fuel injec-
tor cleaner, octane booster, intake valve de-
posit removers, etc.) which are sold commer-
cially. Many of these additives intended for
gum, varnish or deposit removal may contain
active solvent or similar ingredients that can be
harmful to the fuel system and engine.
Octane rating tips
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
lower than recommended above can cause per-
sistent, heavy spark knock. (Spark knock is a
metallic rapping noise.) If severe, this can lead
to engine damage. If you detect a persistent
heavy spark knock even when using gasoline of
the stated octane rating, or if you hear steady
spark knock while holding a steady speed on
level roads, have an INFINITI retailer correct the
condition. Failure to correct the condition is mis-
use of the vehicle, for which INFINITI is not re-
sponsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in knocking,
after-run or overheating. This in turn may cause
excessive fuel consumption or damage to the
engine. If any of the above symptoms are
encountered, have your vehicle checked at an
INFINITI retailer or other competent service fa-
cility.
However, now and then you may notice light
spark knock for a short time while accelerating
or driving up hills. This is no cause for concern,
because you get the greatest fuel benefit when
there is light spark knock for a short time under
heavy engine load.
CAUTION
●Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85
fuel. Using E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifi-
cally designed for E-85 fuel can damage fuel
system components and is not covered by
the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
● E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel
ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
● U.S. government regulations require ethanol
dispensing pumps to be identified by a
small, square, orange and black label with
the common abbreviation or the appropriate
percentage for that region.
