Turn the switch to one of the following positions to select the correspo\
nding drive mode:
1 • (Standard) - Used for standard or normal driving.
2 SPORT – The hybrid system and transmission will
adjust, resulting in higher hybrid system rpm and
a more aggressive shift pattern. In this mode, fuel
economy may be reduced.

In this mode, hybrid system output is controlled to
avoid wheel spin.

2. Touch the “ECO DRIVE” key.
3. Touch the “ECO pedal” key and select one of the options below:

Hybrid Awareness
Your vehicle is virtually silent in the electric mode. If you exit your \
vehicle while it is ON but
the hybrid system is not running, the hybrid system will automatically s\
tart, 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.
For more information, refer to the “Hybrid System Overview (section Hybrid System)” of your Owner’s Manual.
