The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid System
combines the power of a gasoline engine and an
electric motor to help minimize fuel consumption
and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle runs
on a combination of the gasoline engine and the
electric motor, whichever is best for those condi-
tions.
Because the gasoline engine charges the
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, the battery
does not have to be charged from an outside
source like an all-electric vehicle.WARNING
If you continue to drive the vehicle while
the warning is displayed, the hybrid sys-
tem may become temporarily inoperative
and the system cannot provide power to
the wheels. This can result in reduced or
zero vehicle speed. The reduced speed or
zero speed may be lower than other traf-
fic, which could increase the chance of a
collision. If the vehicle cannot maintain a
safe driving speed, pull to the side of the
road in a safe area. If this occurs, place the
shift lever in the P (Park) position and the
ignition in the READY to drive position
with the vehicle stopped until the display
turns off. The hybrid system overheat
warning and the Shift to Park Li-ion bat-
tery low warning messages will be alter-
nately displayed. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Shift to Park” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium-ion
(Li-ion) high-voltage battery. If the Li-ion
battery is disposed of improperly, there is
a risk of severe burns and electrical shock
that may result in serious injury or death
and there is also a risk of environmental
damage.
CAUTION
●Do not misuse the Li-ion battery.
● Do not use the Li-ion battery for any
other purpose.
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the electric
motors in the INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
System.
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for information about recycling or disposal of the
battery.
INFINITI DIRECT RESPONSE HYBRID
SYSTEM LITHIUM-ION (Li-ion) BATTERY
HEV-2HEV Overview

WARNING
●The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
System uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately 168 volts. The system can be hot
while and after starting. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the high tem-
perature. Obey the warning labels at-
tached to the vehicle.
● Never disassemble, remove or replace
high-voltage parts, harnesses and their
connectors. Touching, disassembling,
removing or replacing those parts and
harnesses can cause severe burns or
electric shock that may result in serious
injury or death. High-voltage harnesses
are colored orange. The vehicle high-
voltage system has no user serviceable
parts. It is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer for
any necessary maintenance.
● Never try to remove the service plug
located in the cargo area. The service
plug is used only when the vehicle is
serviced by trained technicians wearing
personal protection equipment and is
part of the high-voltage system. Touch-
ing the service plug can cause severe
burns or electric shock that may result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING
In case of a collision:
●If your vehicle is drivable, pull your ve-
hicle off the road, put the transmission
in the P (Park) position, apply the park-
ing brake and turn the INFINITI Direct
Response Hybrid System off.
● Check to see if there are exposed high-
voltage parts and cables. Never touch
the parts and cables. For their locations,
refer to “High-voltage components and
their locations” in this section. To avoid
personal injury, never touch high-
voltage wiring, connectors, and other
high-voltage parts, such as electric mo-
tor inverter and Li-ion battery. An elec-
tric shock may occur if exposed electric
wires are visible when viewed from in-
side or outside of your vehicle. There-
fore, never touch exposed electric
wires.
● If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle
in a safe location and check the floor.
● Inspect the ground under the vehicle. If
liquid has leaked onto the ground, the
fuel system may have been damaged.
Leave the vehicle as soon as possible. ●
Leaks or damage to the Li-ion battery
may result in a fire. If you discover them,
contact emergency services immedi-
ately. Since the fluid leak may be
lithium organic electrolyte from the Li-
ion battery, never touch the fluid leak
inside or outside the vehicle. If the fluid
contacts your skin or eyes, wash it off
immediately with a large amount of wa-
ter and receive immediate medical at-
tention to help avoid serious injury.
● If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle,
leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Only use a type ABC, BC or C fire extin-
guisher that is meant for use on electri-
cal fires. Using water or the incorrect
fire extinguisher can result in serious
injury or death from electrical shock.
● If you are not able to safely assess the
vehicle due to vehicle damage, do not
touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and
contact emergency services. Advise first
responders that this is a hybrid vehicle.
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAUTIONS ROAD ACCIDENT CAUTIONS
HEV OverviewHEV-3

●In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle
should be delivered to an INFINITI re-
tailer to have the Li-ion battery pack
and high-voltage parts such as the in-
verter, including the wiring harness, re-
moved prior to painting. Li-ion battery
packs exposed to heat in the paint
booth will experience capacity loss.
Damaged Li-ion battery packs may also
pose safety risks to untrained mechan-
ics and repair personnel. 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. For additional information,
refer to “Warning lights, indicator lights and au-
dible reminders” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual.
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 the READY to drive position; it is
recommended that you contact an INFINITI re-
tailer. Even if the ignition switch is switched to the
READY to drive position, the system may shut off
suddenly. Therefore, drive cautiously to the near-
est 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) .
CAUTION
Do not start the system in N (Neutral)
position under cold condition of the sys-
tem. Start in the P (Park) position in that
case.
The READY to drive indicator light
flashes
until the hybrid system is ready to drive.
If starting in a low temperature environment, the
flashing time of the READY lamp becomes lon-
ger. It cannot move out from P (Park) 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.
EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM
HEV-4HEV Overview

The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid System
monitors the energy flow between the electric
motor, the engine, the tires, and the Li-ion battery
state of charge. The status is shown on the assist
charge gauge in the meter and the energy
flow/remaining Li-ion battery charge in the ve-
hicle information display and the meter. System
status can also be shown on the navigation sys-
tem display (if so equipped) when the screen is in
the energy flow mode or energy/fuel history
mode.
ASSIST CHARGE GAUGE
This meter displays the actual electric motor
power consumption and the charging power to
the Li-ion battery.
For additional information, refer to “Assist charge
gauge” in the “Instruments and controls” section
of this manual.
ENERGY FLOW (models with
navigation system)
When you use this system, make sure the hybrid
system is in the READY to drive mode. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Operation of the hy-
brid system” in this section.
If you use the system with the hybrid sys-
tem off (ignition switch placed in the ACC
position) for a long time, it will discharge
the 12-volt battery power, and the hybrid
system will not start.
The energy monitor for various operating modes
can be displayed on the navigation system moni-
tor and the meter.
Press the INFO button on the control panel and
highlight the “Energy Flow” key on the display
using the INFINITI controller then press the EN-
TER button.

ENERGY MONITORS
HEV-6HEV Overview

This vehicle is equipped with two braking sys-
tems:● Hydraulic brake system
● Regenerative brake system
When the vehicle decelerates while the vehicle is
driven with the shift lever in the D (Drive) position
or in the manual shift mode, the 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 circum-
stances: ● 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 Hy-
brid System
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.
While the regenerative cooperative brake system
is operating, you might feel a slight vibration or
hear the system working when braking. This is
normal. The regenerative cooperative brake system con-
trols both the hydraulic and regenerative brakes.
If you feel unusual deceleration when braking,
have the brake and hybrid systems checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
Drive your vehicle with smooth accelera-
tion and deceleration.
● While driving, energy is recovered through
the regenerative brake as the vehicle decel-
erates. However, for most efficient use, do
not accelerate or decelerate your vehicle
more than necessary.
● Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
● The power of the 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 vehicle
information display. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Energy Flow (models with navi-
gation system)” in this section or “Trip com-
puter” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual. Gradual or non-
abrupt acceleration and deceleration will
make more effective use of the electric
power.
● When parking, be sure to place the shift
lever in the P (Park) position. While driving,
place the shift lever in the D (Drive) position.
