2014 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID warning lights

The emergency shut-off system is activated and
the high-voltage system automatically turns off in
the following conditions:● Front and side collisions in which the air
bags are deployed.
● Certain rear collisions.
● Certain INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®
System malfunctions
For the above collisions and the certain hybrid
system malfunctions, the READY to drive indica-
tor light will turn off. See “Warning/indicator
lights and audible reminders” in the “Instruments
and controls”.
The emergency shut-off activates for the above
collisions to minimize risk of an event that could
cause injury or an accident. If the emergency
shut-off system activates, the hybrid system may
not switch to READY to drive position, contact an
INFINITI retailer. Even if the ignition switch is
switched to READY to drive position, the system
may shut off suddenly. Therefore, drive cautiously
to the nearest INFINITI retailer or contact an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible. To start the INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®
System, depress the brake pedal and place the
ignition switch in the ON position when the trans-
mission is in the P (Park) position or N (Neutral)
position (P is recommended) .
The READY to drive indicator light
flashes
until hybrid system becomes the ready to drive
mode.
If starting in low temperature environment, flash-
ing time of READY lamp becomes longer. It can-
not move out from P range during flashing.
When the READY to drive indicator light
illuminates, the vehicle can be driven, even if the
gasoline engine is not running.
NOTE:
The gasoline engine starts and stops auto-
matically. It may stop during deceleration
or when the vehicle is stopped.
The gasoline engine may automatically run in the
following conditions:
● The level of remaining charge in the Li-ion
battery is low. The engine runs to charge the
Li-ion battery and to provide power to drive
the vehicle.
● The temperature of the engine coolant is
low. ●
When A/C is used.
● When opening door.
● When engine hood is opened.
● When applying brakes.
● Based on driving conditions.
● The shift lever is shifted to the P (Park)
position, the driver’s seat belt is released
and the driver’s side door is then opened.
The hybrid system operates as follows based on
driving conditions and the Li-ion battery charge.
Engine is hard to stop during these driving con-
ditions: ● Outside temperature is high/low and A/C is
on.
● When repeatedly starting and stopping the
engine.
STARTING AND SLOW SPEED
DRIVING
In some cases, the vehicle can be driven by
electric motor during extremely slow speed
creep, but the engine starts when accelerating or
taking off the brakes.

POWER METER
The power meter indicates the condition of the
electric motor. When the needle is between the
center and “charge” (
1range) , this indicates
that the electric motor is generating power to
recharge the Li-ion battery.
When the needle is between the center and the
PWR side, this indicates that the electric motor is
powering the drive wheels and the Li-ion battery
is discharging.

WARNING LIGHTS
For additional information on warnings and indi-
cators, see “Vehicle information display” later in
this section.
Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light illuminates and then turns off. This
indicates the ABS is operational.
If the ABS light comes on while the hybrid system
is running, it may indicate the anti-lock braking
system is not functioning properly. Have the sys-
tem checked by an INFINITI retailer. If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock func-
tion is turned off. The brake system then operates
normally, but without anti-lock assistance. See
“Brake system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of the Owner’s Manual.
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake and
the foot brake systems.
● Parking brake indicator
● Low brake fluid warning light
● Hydraulic brake system warning light Parking brake indicator
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the hybrid system is in the READY
mode, the light comes on when the parking brake
is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the hybrid system is in the READY
mode, the light warns of a low brake fluid level.
Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as
necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section of your INFINITI Own-
er’s Manual. If the brake fluid level is correct, see
“Hydraulic brake system warning light” in this
section.
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-3

Hybrid system warning light
The hybrid system warning light comes on when:● The amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
● There is a problem with the traction motor or
other hybrid system components.
If the fuel gauge indicates the fuel level is low,
refill the fuel tank immediately. See “Fuel gauge”
earlier in this section. After the fuel tank is filled,
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position,
and the hybrid system is in the READY mode, the
hybrid system warning light should be off.
If the fuel gauge indicates a sufficient fuel level, or
if the hybrid system warning light comes on after
refilling the tank, there may be a problem with the
traction motor or other hybrid system compo-
nents. Stop your vehicle immediately and contact
your INFINITI retailer.
Electronically controlled brake warning light (yellow)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the hybrid system is in the READY
mode, the light stays on for about 2 seconds. If
the light comes on at any other time, it may
indicate the regenerative brake and/or the elec- tronically controlled brake systems are not func-
tioning properly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
If the hydraulic brake warning light also comes on
when the parking brake is not applied, stop the
vehicle
immediately and call an INFINITI re-
tailer. For additional information, see “Brake sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of the
INFINITI Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
● Your brake system may not be working
properly if both the brake warning light
and electronically controlled brake sys-
tem light come on when the hybrid sys-
tem is in READY mode and the parking

WARNING
●If the hybrid system stops operating
while driving, the power assist for the
brakes and steering will not work. Brak-
ing and steering will be harder.
● If the hybrid system stops operating
while driving, do not open any door until
the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Opening a door will lock the steering
wheel. This may cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle and could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
The hybrid system may stop operating while driv-
ing if the high-voltage battery becomes dis-
charged, the 12-volt battery becomes dis-
charged or the fuel tank is empty. If the hybrid
system stops operating while driving, perform the
following: 1. Reduce your speed gradually. Pull to the side of the road to a safe area.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Set the push-button ignition switch at ACC or OFF, and try to start the hybrid system.
4. If the hybrid system will not start, see “Ve- hicle does not start” in this section. Before attempting to jump start the vehicle, make
sure the fuel tank is not empty and the correct
starting procedure is followed. See “Starting the
Hybrid System” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of your Owner’s Manual. Do not drive the
vehicle on battery power only if the fuel tank is
empty. The Li-ion battery will become discharged
and the hybrid system will turn off.
CONFIRM BATTERY IS
