Additional information concerning
motor vehicle safety may be obtained
from Transport Canada’s Road Safety
Information Centre at 1-800-333-
0371 or online at www.tc.gc.ca/road-
safety (English speakers) or www.tc.
gc.ca/securiteroutiere (French speak-
ers).
To notify INFINITI of any safety con-
cerns please contact our Consumer
Information Centre toll free at 1-800-
361-4792.Do not attempt to test the vehicle on a
dynamometer (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions test-
ing), or similar equipment. Doing so may
cause damage to the drivetrain or the high
voltage 12-volt battery. Make sure you
inform test facility personnel that your
vehicle is hybrid. Using the wrong test
equipment may result in drivetrain damage
or unexpected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle damage or
pearsonal injury.
Due to legal requirements in some states/
areas, your vehicle may be required to be
in what is called the “ready condition ”for
an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of
the emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition ”
when it is driven through certain driving
patterns. Usually, the “ready condition ”
can be obtained by ordinary usage of the
vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is
repaired or the 12-volt battery is discon-
nected, the vehicle may be reset to a “not
ready condition ”. Before taking the I/M
test, check the vehicle ’s inspection/main-
tenance test readiness condition. Place the
ignition switch in the ON position without starting the engine. If the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10
seconds, the I/M test condition is
“not
ready ”. If the MIL does not blink after 20
seconds, the I/M test condition is “ready ”.
Contact an INFINITI retailer to set the
“ ready condition ”or to prepare the vehicle
for testing.
