RAPID ACCELERATION
The vehicle is accelerated using both the
gasoline engine and the electric motor
depending on the available Li-ion battery
charge.
DECELERATION AND BRAKING
The Li-ion battery is charged by the electric
motor that changes the energy of the
rotating wheels into electric power. See
“Regenerative brake ”later in this section.
STOPPING
The gasoline engine may stop running to
save fuel depending on the available Li-ion
battery charge. The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
TM
System monitors the status of power being
sent to the electric motor and the Lithium
ion (Li-ion) battery state of charge. The
status is shown on the assist charge gauge
in the meter and the energy flow/remain-
ing Li-ion battery charge in the dot matrix
display. System status can also be shown
on the navigation system display (if so
equipped) when the screen is in the energy
flow mode or energy/fuel history mode.
JVO0001X
ASSIST CHARGE GAUGE
This meter displays the actual electric
motor power consumption and the char-
ging power to the Li-ion battery.
For additional information, See
“Assist
charge gauge ”in the “2. Instruments and
controls ”section.
ENERGY FLOW (models with navi-
gation system)
When you use this system, make sure the
hybrid system is in the ready to drive
mode. See “Operation of the hybrid

If a malfunction occurs in the front
passenger air bag system, the supplemen-
tal air bag warning light
, located in the
meter and gauges area will blink. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
Other supplemental front-impact
air bag precautions
WARNING
. Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel pad or on the instrument panel.
Also, do not place any objects between
any occupant and the steering wheel or
instrument panel. Such objects may
become dangerous projectiles and cause
injury if the front air bags inflate.
. Do not place objects with sharp edges
on the seat. Also, do not place heavy
objects on the seat that will leave
permanent impressions in the seat. Such
objects can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensor (pattern sensor).
This can affect the operation of the air
bag system and result in serious perso-
nal injury.
. Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the seat or occupant classifica-
tion sensor. This can also affect the
operation of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
. Immediately after inflation, several front
air bag system components will be hot.
Do not touch them; you may severely
burn yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the air bag system. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the supplemental
air bag or damage to the supplemental
air bag system.
. Do not make unauthorized changes to
your vehicle ’s electrical system, suspen-
sion system or front end structure. This
could affect proper operation of the front
air bag system.
. Tampering with the air bag system may
result in serious personal injury. Tamper-
ing includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel assem-
bly by placing material over the steering
wheel pad and above the instrument
panel or by installing additional trim
material around the air bag system. .
Modifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seats by placing
material on the seat cushion or by
installing additional trim material, such
as seat covers, on the seat that is not
specifically designed to assure proper
air bag operation. Additionally, do not
stow any objects under the front pas-
senger seat or the seat cushion and
seatback. Such objects may interfere
with the proper operation of the occu-
pant classification sensor.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of
the seat belt system. This may affect the
front air bag system. Tampering with the
seat belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
. Work on and around the front air bag
system should be done by an INFINITI
retailer. Installation of electrical equip-
ment should also be done by an INFINITI
retailer. The Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) wiring harnesses* should
not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorized electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on
Safety —Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-47

tal air bag warning light

tion sensor. This can also affect the

The vehicle should be driven with the
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system on
for most driving conditions.
The Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system
will sound a warning chime and the vehicle
ahead detection indicator light blinks to
alert the driver when the vehicle is travel-
ing too close to the vehicle ahead. The
system will also apply the brake control if
necessary.
To turn off the system, push the IBA OFF
switch. The
indicator will illuminate.
The IBA system will remain in the last ON
or OFF state it was left in until it is
manually changed by pushing the IBA OFF switch.
See
“Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system ”
in the “5. Starting and driving ”section.
SIC4336
The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the output of the
hybrid system to reduce wheel spin. The
speed of hybrid system will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the
floor. If maximum power of the INFINITI
Direct Response Hybrid
TMSystem is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the
VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
