speed is above 4 MPH (7 km/h) and the
parking brake is applied.
9. Low fuel warning
This warning appears when the fuel level in
the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it
is convenient, preferably before the fuel
gauge reaches the empty (0) position.
There is a small reserve of fuel remaining
in the tank when the fuel gauge reaches
the empty (0) position.
10. Low washer fluid warning
This warning appears when the washer
tank fluid is at a low level. Add washer fluid
as necessary. (See“Window washer fluid”
(P.8-17).)
11. Door/trunk open warning (igni-
tion switch is in the ON position)
This warning appears if any of the doors
and/or the trunk lid are open or not closed
securely. The vehicle icon indicates which
door or the trunk lid is open on the display.
12. Intelligent Key system warning
This warning appears if there is a malfunc-
tion in the steering lock system or Intelli-
gent Key system.
If this warning appears while the hybrid
system is stopped, the steering lock (if so
equipped) cannot be released or the hybrid system cannot be started. If this warning
appears while the hybrid system is run-
ning, the vehicle can be driven. However,
contact an INFINITI retailer for repair as
soon as possible.
13. Loose fuel cap warning
This warning appears when the fuel-filler
cap is not tightened correctly after the
vehicle has been refueled. (See
“Fuel-filler
cap ”(P.3-20).)
14. Check tire pressure warning
This warning appears when the low tire
pressure warning light in the meter illumi-
nates and low tire pressure is detected. If
this warning appears, stop the vehicle and
adjust the pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. (See
“Low tire pressure warning light” (P.2-15)
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) ”(P.5-4).)

17. Hybrid system over heat warn-
ing
This warning appears when the tempera-
ture of the hybrid system is too high. Stop
the vehicle in a safe location as soon as
possible. Avoid quick starting or abrupt
acceleration. When the warning turns off,
the vehicle can be driven.
If the warning appears again soon after it
turns off, have the vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
Do not drive the vehicle with the warning
on. Doing so could cause a hybrid system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not hold the vehicle in a stopped
position on an uphill grade by depressing
the accelerator or by slowly creeping for-
ward. This may cause damage to the transmission or the vehicle may enter traffic
causing serious injury or death. Always use
the brake pedal when stopping on an uphill
grade.
CAUTION
If you continue to drive the vehicle while the
warning is displayed, the vehicle may
become undriveable. If this occurs, place
the shift lever in the
“P”position and wait
for a short period of time with the vehicle
stopped until the display goes out. In this
case, the warning will be displayed alter-
nately with the SHIFT “P”warning. (See “4.
SHIFT “P”warning” (P.2-23).)
Do not drive the vehicle while this is
displayed. Doing so could cause a hybrid
system malfunction.
18. Cruise indicator

The indicator is displayed when the cruise
control main switch is pushed. When the
main switch is pushed again, the indicator
disappears. When the cruise control main switch indicator is displayed, the cruise
control system is operational.
Cruise set switch indicator:
The indicator is displayed while the vehicle
speed is controlled by the cruise control
system. If the indicator blinks while the
hybrid system is running, it may indicate
that the cruise control system is not
functioning properly. Have the system

MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
1. Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for changing the engine oil.
You can set or reset the distance for
changing the engine oil. (See “Trip compu-
ter” (P.2-28).)
2. Oil filter replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing the oil filter.
You can set or reset the distance for
replacing the oil filter. (See “Trip compu-
ter” (P.2-28).)
3. Tire replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance comes for replacing tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
tires. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-28).)
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, including
tire pressure checks. See “Changing wheels
and tires” (P.8-39). Many factors including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and

road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to a collision,
which could result in serious personal injury
or death.
4.“OTHER” indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing items other
than the engine oil, oil filter and tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
the items. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-28).)
More maintenance reminders are also
available on the center display. (See
“How to use INFO button” (P.4-10).)

TRIP COMPUTER
Switches for the trip computer are located
on the right side of the combination meter
panel. To operate the trip computer, push
the side or front of the switches as shown
above.
*Aswitch
*Bswitch
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, modes of the trip computer
can be selected by pushing the
switch
*A.
Each time the
switch*Ais pushed, the
display will change as follows: Energy monitor
?Li-ion battery state of
charge and acceleration guide ?EV mode
odometer and twin trip odometer ?
Current fuel consumption ?Average fuel
consumption and speed ?Elapsed time
and trip odometer ?Distance to empty

1. Energy monitor
The energy flow related to the hybrid
system is shown by the arrow symbols.
*A: Li-ion battery
*B: Engine
*Ashows the charge level of the Li-ion
battery.
+ : Charge level is high
- : Charge level is low
The charge level display will continuously
change as the Li-ion battery charge level
increase or decreases during normal vehi-
cle operation. Movement of the display
from the far right to the far left of the bar is
normal.
The energy monitor is also displayed on
the navigation system (if so equipped).
(See “Energy monitors” (P.Hybrid System- 5).)
2. Li-ion battery state of charge and
acceleration guide
*ALi-ion battery state of charge:
This displays the remaining charge in the
Li-ion battery.
The charge level display will continuously
change as the Li-ion battery charge level
increase or decrease during normal vehicle
operation. Movement of the display from
the far right to the far left of the bar is
normal.
This works in conjunction with the remain-
ing battery display on the navigation
system screen (if so equipped).
*BAcceleration guide:
This display provides the driver a visual
display of how efficiently the vehicle is
being driven based on accelerator pedal
position. When the drive mode is set to
ECO using the drive mode selector, the
acceleration guide operates with the ECO
drive indicator and ECO pedal (if so
equipped) to help you improve fuel econ-
omy. (See “ECO drive indicator light” (P.2-
18), “INFINITI drive mode selector” (P.5-18)
and “ECO pedal system” (P.5-19).)

*A: Economy range
*B: Power range
*C: Accelerator pedal position indicator
JVI0259X
The above examples of the acceleration
guide means the following conditions.
1. The vehicle is being driven economic-ally when the vehicle is driven with the
accelerator pedal position in the econ-
omy range.
2. The vehicle is being driven less eco- nomically when the vehicle is driven
with the accelerator pedal position in
the power range.
This will not be displayed when Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system is operating.
3. EV mode odometer and twin trip
odometer
EV mode odometer:
This indicates the total distance traveled
using the electric motor only.
EV mode twin trip odometer:
This indicates the distance traveled in an
individual trip using the electric motor
only.
2 types of individual trip can be recorded,
TRIP A and TRIP B.
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch will toggle
between TRIP A and TRIP B.
To reset the display to 0, hold down the
TRIP RESET switch for more than approxi-
mately 1 second.
4. Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption mode shows
the current fuel consumption.
5. Average fuel consumption (MPG
or l (liter)/100 km) and speed (MPH
or km/h)
