detection emergency warning indicator (red) ,
providing an audible warning, and then automati-
cally applies harder braking.
If a risk of a forward impact with a pedestrian is
detected, the FEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem will provide a warning to the driver by flashing
the FEB with pedestrian detection emergency
warning indicator (red) , provides an audible alert
and the system will apply partial baking. If the
driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully
but the FEB with pedestrian detection system
detects that there is still the possibility of a for-
ward impact with a pedestrian, the system will
automatically increase the braking force. If the
risk of collision becomes imminent and the driver
does not take action, the FEB with pedestrian
detection system automatically applies harder
braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the FEB with
pedestrian detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well as driving
and roadway conditions, the system may help the
driver avoid a forward collision or may help miti-
gate the consequences if a collision should be
unavoidable. If the driver is handling the steeringwheel, accelerating or braking, the FEB with pe-
destrian detection system will function later or
will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing conditions:
● When the steering wheel is turned to avoid a
collision.
● When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
● When there is no longer a vehicle or a pe-
destrian detected ahead.
If the FEB with pedestrian detection system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.

NOTE:● The FEB with pedestrian detection system
will be automatically turned on when the
engine is restarted.
● The PFCW system (if so equipped) is inte-
grated into the FEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system. There is not a separate selec-
tion in the vehicle information display for the
PFCW system. When the FEB with pedes-
trian detection is turned off, the PFCW sys-
tem is also turned off.

WHEN READING THE MANUAL

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

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 the A/C is used.
● When opening the door.
● When the engine hood is opened.
● When applying the 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.
The engine is hard to stop during these driving
conditions:
● 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
releasing the brakes.
MEDIUM OR HIGH SPEED DRIVING
The system automatically controls the gasoline
engine and electric motor in order to obtain the
optimum fuel mileage and performance, depend-
ing on the driving situation and available Li-ion
battery charge.
When the remaining battery level is low, the Li-ion
battery is charged by the electric motor that is
driven to generate electric power while the ve-
hicle is driving.
RAPID ACCELERATION
The vehicle is accelerated using both the gaso-
line engine and the electric motor depending on
the available Li-ion battery charge.
DECELERATION AND BRAKING
The Li-ion battery is charged by the electric mo-
tor that changes the energy of the rotating
wheels into electric power. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Regenerative brake” in this sec-
tion.
STOPPING
The gasoline engine may stop running to save
fuel depending on the available Li-ion battery
charge.
HEV OverviewHEV-5

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.

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important information
concerning the following systems:● Driver and front passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag (INFINITI Advanced Air
Bag System)
● Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag
● Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and roll-
over supplemental air bag
● Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag system
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System can help
cushion the impact force to the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in certain frontal
collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the chest area of the driver and front passenger in
certain side-impact collisions. The side air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where the
vehicle is impacted. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head of occupants in front and rear outboard
seating positions in certain side-impact or roll-
over collisions. In a side impact, the curtain air
bags are designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover, the curtain
air bags are designed to inflate and remain in-
flated for a short time.
The SRS is designed to
supplementthe crash
protection provided by the driver and front pas-
senger seat belts and is not a substitutefor
them. Seat belts should always be correctly worn
and the occupant seated a suitable distance
away from the steering wheel, instrument panel
and door finishers. For additional information
about instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage, refer to “Seat belts” in this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 sec-
onds if the system is operational.
