A chime will sound when the driver side
door is opened with the light switch in the
orposition and the ignition switch
in the ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
When the headlight switch is in the
or
position while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the lights will automati-
cally turn off 5 minutes after the ignition
switch has been pushed to the OFF
position.
When the headlight switch remains in the
orposition after the lights
automatically turn off, the lights will turn
on when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position.
CAUTION
. When you turn on the headlight switch
again after the lights automatically turn
off, the lights will not turn off auto-
matically. Be sure to turn the light
switch to the OFF position when you
leave the vehicle for extended periods of
time, otherwise the 12-volt battery will
be discharged. .
Never leave the light switch on when the
hybrid system is not running for ex-
tended periods of time even if the
headlights turn off automatically.
Daytime running light system (Ca-
nada only)
The daytime running lights automatically
illuminate when the hybrid system is
started with the parking brake released.
The daytime running lights operate with
the headlight switch in the OFF position or
in the
position. Turn the headlight
switch to the
position for full illumina-
tion when driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
hybrid system is started, the daytime
running lights do not illuminate. The day-
time running lights illuminate once the
parking brake is released. The daytime
running lights will remain on until the
ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position.
Adaptive Front lighting System
(AFS) (if so equipped)
The Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)
will automatically adjust the headlights (low beam) toward the turning direction to
improve the driver
’s view. When the head-
light switch is ON and the driver operates
the steering wheel in a turn, the AFS
system will be activated.
The AFS will operate:
. Right-side headlight
— When the headlight switch is ON
— When the selector lever is in any
position other than P (Park) or R
(Reverse)
— When the steering wheel is turned
clockwise
. Left-side headlight
— When the headlight switch is ON
— When the selector lever is in any
position other than P (Park) or R
(Reverse)
— When the vehicle is driven at a
speed above 16 MPH (25km/h).
However, when the vehicle ’s speed
decreases below 3 MPH (5 km/h) it
will stop.
— When the steering wheel is turned

WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufacturer
for the possible influences before use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pushed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane.
Make sure the buttons are not operated
unintentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the doors and the trunk lid using the
remote controller function or pushing the
request switch on the vehicle without
taking the key out from a pocket or purse.
The operating environment and/or condi-
tions may affect the Intelligent Key system
operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the operation
of the Intelligent Key system under the
following operating conditions.
.When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.
. When in possession of wireless equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote
control is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near
an electric appliance such as a perso- nal computer.
. When the vehicle is parked near a
parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key
function or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions,
the battery ’s life is approximately 2 years.
If the battery is discharged, replace it with
a new one.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and
personal computer, the battery life may
become shorter.

battery, see “Intelligent Key battery repla-
cement” in the“8. Maintenance and do-it-

CAUTION
. The glass screen on the liquid crystal
display may break if it is hit with a hard
or sharp object. If the glass screen
breaks, do not touch it. Doing so could
result in an injury.
. To clean the display, use a soft, dry
cloth. If additional cleaning is necessary, use a small amount of neutral detergent
with a soft cloth. Never use a rough
cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or any
kind of solvent or paper towel with a
chemical cleaning agent. They will
scratch or deteriorate the panel.
. Do not splash any liquid such as water
or car fragrance on the display. Contact
with liquid will cause the system to
malfunction.

5-4Starting and driving
—You have had an accident involvingdamage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the three-way
catalyst are burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the
exhaust system components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
CAUTION
.Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline seriously reduce the three-way catalyst
’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions
in the ignition, fuel injection, or elec-
trical systems can cause overrich fuel
flow into the three-way catalyst, causing
it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the
engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of
performance or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. Have the vehicle
inspected promptly by an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause
the engine to misfire, damaging the
three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the hybrid system.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle ’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,

cause a fire.
. Never leave the hybrid System in the
ready to drive mode while the vehicle is
unattended.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved in serious accidents.
. Safe parking procedures require that
both the parking brake be applied and
the transmission placed into P (Park).
Failure to do so could cause the vehicle
to move unexpectedly or roll away and
result in an accident.
. Make sure the automatic transmission
selector lever has been pushed as far
forward as it can go and cannot be
moved without depressing the foot
