2013 INFINITI M-HEV change wheel

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.

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
system” earlier in this section.

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
the air bag system.
. A cracked windshield should be replaced
immediately by a qualified repair facility.
A cracked windshield could affect the

VANITY MIRROR
To use the front vanity mirror, pull down
the sun visor and pull up the cover. The automatic drive positioner system has
four features:
.
Entry/exit function
. Seat synchronization function
. Memory storage
. Setting memory function
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and steering column will automati-
cally move when the selector lever is in the
P (Park) position. This allows the driver to
get into and out of the driver’s seat more
easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and
the steering wheel will move up when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ACC
position.
The driver’s seat will not return to the
previous positions if the seat or steering
adjusting switch is operated when the seat
is at the exit position.

Fuel Economy information
The approximate distance to empty, aver-
age fuel economy and current fuel econo-
my will be displayed for reference.
To reset the average fuel economy (Avg
Fuel Econ), select the“Reset Fuel Eco”or
“Reset” key.
If the “Fuel Eco History” or“View” key is

the timing difference in updating the
information and does not indicate a mal-
function.
For models without the navigation system,
the information can be displayed by
pushing the
ECON button on the
control panel.

TIRE PRESSURE information
WARNING
. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the TPMS will not function
