NOTE:
Selecting this drive mode will not neces-
sarily improve fuel economy as many
driving factors influence its effectiveness.
Operation
Turn the drive mode select switch to the
ECO position.
“ECO ”appears in the vehicle
information display for 2 seconds and the
ECO drive indicator light illuminates on the
instrument panel.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
within the range of economy drive, the ECO
drive indicator light illuminates in green.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
above the range of economy drive, the
color of the ECO drive indicator light
changes to orange. For ECO pedal system
equipped models see “ECO pedal system ”
later in this section.
TheECOdriveindicatorlightwillnot

. When the selector lever is in the R
(Reverse) position. .
When the vehicle speed is below 3 MPH
(4.8 km/h) or over 90 MPH (144 km/h).
. When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system is operated.
ECO pedal system (if so equipped)
Helps assist the driver to improve fuel
economy by increasing the reaction force
of the accelerator pedal. When the ECO
drive indicator light is blinking or turns
orange, the ECO pedal system increases
the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.

When the ECO drive indicator illuminates in
green, the accelerator reaction force is
normal. When the ECO drive indicator light
is blinking or turns orange, the ECO pedal
system increases the reaction force of the
accelerator pedal.
The ECO pedal system may not vary
accelerator reaction force under the follow-
ing conditions:
.When the selector lever is in the N
(Neutral) or R (Reverse) position.
. When Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) is
being operated.
If the ECO pedal system malfunctions, it will cancel automatically. The ECO pedal
system will not vary the reaction force of
the accelerator pedal.
When the drive mode select switch is
rotated from the ECO mode to another
mode (STANDARD, SPORT or SNOW) while
the ECO pedal system is operating, the ECO
pedal system continues to operate until
the pedal is released.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed
quickly, the ECO pedal system will not
increase the reaction force of the accelera-
tion pedal. The ECO pedal system is not
designed to prevent the vehicle from
accelerating.
Adjusting the ECO pedal system reaction
force:
The ECO pedal system reaction force can
be adjusted. The reaction force setting will
be maintained until the setting is changed
even if the INFINITI Direct Response Hy-
brid
TMSystem is turned off.

Automatic deactivation
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the
LDP system are not designed to work under
the following conditions: .
When you operate the lane change
signal and change the traveling lanes
in the direction of the signal. (The LDP
system will be deactivated for approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the lane change
signal is turned off.)
. When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h).
. When the BSI system activates an
audible warning or brake control.
After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions are
satisfied, the warning and assist functions
will resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following
conditions (warning is still functional):
. When the brake pedal is depressed.
. When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary for the vehicle to
change lanes.
. When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed while the brake control assist
is provided.
. When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs. .
When the hazard warning flashers are
operated.
. When driving on a curve at high speed.
After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions are
satisfied, the LDP brake control assist
function will resume.
Condition C:
Under the following conditions, a beep will
sound and the LDP system will be canceled
automatically. The LDP ON indicator light
will blink in green, and the LDP system
cannot be activated:
. When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
. When the VDC system is turned off.
. When the drive mode select switch is
turned to the SNOW mode.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch again to turn the
LDP system back on.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
.The two radar sensor units*1for the
BSW and BSI systems are located near
the rear bumper. Always keep the area
near the radar sensors clean. Do not
attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area
around the radar sensors. Consult an
INFINITI retailer if the area around the
radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.
. The BSI system uses the same camera
*2that is used by the LDW/LDP system
located in front of the inside mirror.
For maintenance of the camera, see “Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) system/Lane
Departure Prevention (LDP) system” earlier
in this section.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CONTROL
. If the cruise control system malfunc-
tions, it will cancel automatically. The
SET indicator on the dot matrix crystal
display will then blink to warn the
driver.
. If the engine coolant temperature be-
comes excessively high, the cruise
control system will be canceled auto-
matically.
. If the SET indicator blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and have
the system checked by your INFINITI
retailer.
. The SET indicator may sometimes blink
when the cruise control main switch is
turned ON while pushing the RESUME/
ACCELERATE, SET/COAST or CANCEL
switch. To properly set the cruise
control system, perform the steps
below in the order indicated.

To turn on the cruise control, push the
MAIN switch on. The CRUISE indicator will
come on.
To set cruising speed, accelerate your
vehicle to the desired speed, push the SET/COAST switch and release it. (The
CRUISE SET indicator will come on in the
instrument panel.) Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will main-
tain the set speed.
.
To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release
the pedal, the vehicle will return to the
previously set speed.
. The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
happens, drive without the cruise con-
trol.
To cancel the preset speed, follow any of
these methods:
1. Push the CANCEL button. The SET indicator will go out.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The SET indicator will go out.
3. Move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position. The SET indicator
will go out.
