HYBRID VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
.When you leave your vehicle, be sure to
place the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
. Be sure to put the transmission in the P
(Park) position because the vehicle can
move when the READY to drive indicator
light is on even if the gasoline engine is
not running. When the READY to drive
indicator light is on, do not leave your
vehicle in a shift position other than the
P (Park) position. The vehicle will creep
and start abruptly if the accelerator
pedal is depressed by mistake. This
may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is parked for a long period of
time, the battery discharges gradually. To avoid this occurrence, drive the vehicle for
approximately 30 minutes at least once
every two to three months. Otherwise, the
Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery may be da-
maged. If the Li-ion battery is completely
discharged and the hybrid system cannot be
activated, contact an INFINITI retailer.
High voltage parts and harnesses on the
hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves
as the conventional gasoline-powered ve-
hicles or home electronic appliances de-
spite of their electromagnetic shieldings.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception
of a mobile two-way radio.
Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is
important. The vehicle cannot run if the Li-
ion battery is discharged. In the N (Neutral)
position, the Li-ion battery does not
recharge. Leaving the transmission in the
N (Neutral) position for an extended period
of time may discharge the Li-ion battery.
The Li-ion battery recharges when the shift
selector is in any position other than N
(Neutral).

An air vent*Ais located on the rear parcel
shelf to cool the Li-ion battery. If the vent is
covered, the battery will overheat resulting
in reduced output performance of the
hybrid system. See “Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
battery air vent” in the“7. Appearance and
care ”section.
