2013 INFINITI JX engine

ECO MODE
Adjusts the engine and transmission to enhance
fuel economy.
NOTE:
Selecting this drive mode will not neces-
sarily improve fuel economy as many driv-
ing factors influence its effectiveness.
Operation
Turn the drive mode select switch to the ECO
position. “ECO” appears in the vehicle informa-
tion 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 indi-
cator light illuminates in green. When the accel-
erator pedal is depressed above the range of
economy drive, the color of the ECO drive indi-
cator light changes to orange. For ECO pedal
system equipped models see “ECO pedal sys-
tem” in this section.
The ECO drive indicator light will not illuminate in
the following cases:● When the shift selector 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 (if so equipped) is operated.
ECO pedal system
Helps assist the driver to improve fuel economy by
increasing the reaction force of the accelerator
pedal. When the ECO drive indicator light is blink-
ing or turns orange, the ECO pedal system in-
creases 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 following conditions:
● When the shift selector is in the N (Neutral)
or R (Reverse) position.
● When Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (if so
equipped) 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 (STAN-
DARD, SPORT or SNOW) while the ECO pedal
system is operating, the ECO pedal system con-
tinues 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 acceleration pedal. The ECO pedal
system is not designed to prevent the vehicle
from accelerating.

The ECO pedal system reaction force can be
adjusted. The reaction force setting will be main-
tained until the setting is changed even if the
engine is turned off.

●If LDP system warning light (orange)
illuminates in the display, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle. Turn the engine off and restart
the engine. If the LDP system warning
light (orange) continues to illuminate,
have the LDP system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
The functions of the LDP system (warning and
brake control assist) may or may not operate
properly under the following conditions: ● On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where discontinued lane markers
are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.
● On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDP system could detect
these items as lane markers.) ●
On roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates.
● When the vehicle’s traveling direction does
not align with the lane marker.
● When traveling close to the vehicle in front of
you, which obstructs the lane camera unit
detection range.
● When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the wind-
shield in front of the lane camera unit.
● When the headlights are not bright due to
dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
● When strong light enters the lane camera
unit. (For example, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
● When a sudden change in brightness oc-
curs. (For example, when the vehicle enters
or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may hear
a sound of brake operation. This is normal and
indicates that the LDP system is operating prop-
erly.
LDP system operation
The LDP system provides a lane departure warn-
ing and brake control assistance when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately
45 MPH (70 km/h) and above. When the vehicle
approaches either the left or the right side of the
traveling lane, a warning chime will sound and the
Lane departure warning indicator light on the
instrument panel will blink to alert the driver.
Then, the LDP system will automatically apply the
brakes for a short period of time to help assist the
driver to return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane.
