Hybrid Awareness
Your vehicle is virtually silent in the electric mode. If you exit your \
vehicle while it is on but
the engine is not running, the engine will automatically start, informing you that the vehicle
is still on.
Do not store your Infiniti Intelligent Key within the detection range of\
the vehicle.
This may cause welcome lights and other functions to activate, creating \
unwanted
battery drain.
The hybrid system is designed for optimum efficiency and performance. Ac\
tivation of the
electric mode may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full \
battery display does
not indicate the vehicle should be in the electric mode.
The ready to drive indicator light illuminates when the hybrid system is powered and
the vehicle may be driven.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Direct Response Hybrid™ System Warning Light
This light will illuminate when the ignition switch is in the ON positio\
n
and will extinguish when the hybrid system is started.
The light will also illuminate when a malfunction occurs in the electric\

motor or hybrid system.
When this light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle \
in a safe location and contact an INFINITI retailer.
If the hybrid system warning light blinks while driving, it may indicate\
that the Li-ion
battery charge is low and you cannot continue to drive.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display
1 when the fuel-
filler cap is not tightened correctly.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click
is heard.
The warning message will extinguish when
the vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly
tightened and the
or button 2 on the
steering wheel is pressed.
If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction
Indicator Light
may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments
(section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.

above.



•

The Lane Departure Prevention and Active Lane Control systems are enable\

For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

For more information, refer to the “Appearance and care (section 7)” of your Owner’s Manual.

cs device being in an operative condition, its
ability to connect to a wireless network, compatible wireless network av\
ailability, navigation map data, and GPS satellite
signal receptions, the absence of which can limit or prevent the ability\
to reach Customer Care or receive support. AT&T
has announced that on December 31, 2016, AT&T will discontinue 2G networ\
k service. Vehicles equipped with telematics
hardware compatible for use with the 2G GSM/GPRS cellular network provid\
ed by AT&T will be unable to connect to the 2G
network and unable to access the Infiniti InTouch Services features. You\
must enroll by June 30, 2016 to access the services
on the 2G network through December 31, 2016. Services require compatible\
cellular network provided by AT&T. Cellular
network and GPS signal not available in all areas and/or available at al\
l times. Technology is evolving, and changes to cellular
networks provided by independent companies are not within Infiniti’s \
or Sirius XM Connected Vehicle Service’s (“Sirius XM”)
control. Like other devices that rely on network coverage, once the netw\
ork service is discontinued, Infiniti InTouch services
will not function unless equipment replacements, upgrades, or alternativ\
e network coverage are available at that time,
which neither Infiniti nor Sirius XM can guarantee. Infiniti and Sirius \
XM are not responsible for associated costs that may
be required for continued operation due to cellular network turndown or \
discontinuation (including equipment upgrades, if
available, or roaming charges on alternative networks). Certain vehicle\
services and features, including Google
® compatible
services, provided by independent companies are not within Infiniti’s\
or Sirius XM’s control and are subject to change
without notice or liability to Infiniti or Sirius XM and either of their\
affiliates and agents. Text rates and/or data usage may
apply. Certain services require a PIN for activation. See www.infinitiusa.com/Intouch for more information. App availability
is dependent upon vehicle model, trim level, packaging, and/or options. \
See www.infinitiusa.com/Intouch/system-details
for complete app availability details. Some apps require the Infiniti In\
Touch companion app installed and logged in with an
active account to function. Never program while driving. GPS mapping may\
not be detailed in all areas or reflect current road
status. Compatible smartphone required. Processing speed may vary. May r\
equire retailer service visit or software upgrade to
activate. Terms and conditions of subscription agreement apply.
