Hybrid System-8Hybrid System Overview
2. Fuel consumption in the past 12minutes: Fuel consumption in the past
12 minutes is displayed.
3. Current fuel consumption (Latest col- umn): The current fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on
distance and fuel consumption.
NOTE:
Information shown in the yellow column
means current (within 2 minutes) and
information shown in the blue columns
means past (more than 2 minutes). When the vehicle decelerates while the
vehicle is driven with the selector lever in
the D (drive) position or in the manual shift
mode, the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery can
be charged by the electric motor. The
electric motor converts the energy of the
rotating wheels into electric power under
the following circumstances:
.
When the accelerator pedal is released.
. When the brake pedal is depressed
. When there is no malfunction in the
brake system or the INFINITI Direct
Response Hybrid
TMSystem
The regenerative brake may not work
properly if the vehicle is installed with
tires and road wheels other than the ones
specified in this manual. Drive your vehicle with smooth accelera-
tion and deceleration.
.
While driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for most
efficient use, do not accelerate or
decelerate your vehicle more than
necessary.
. Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
. The power of the Lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery can be checked on the Energy
Flow in the center display (models with
navigation system) or Li-ion battery
status meter in the dot matrix display.
See “Energy Flow (models with naviga-
tion system)” or“Trip computer” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
Gradual or non-abrupt acceleration and
deceleration will make more effective
use of the electric using gasoline
engine power.
. When parking, be sure to place the
selector lever in the P (Park) position.
While driving, place the selector lever
in the D (Drive) position.
