The above examples of the acceleration
guide indicate the following conditions.
1. The vehicle is being driven economicallywhen the vehicle is driven with the
accelerator pedal position in the econo-
my range.
2. The vehicle is being driven less econom- ically when the vehicle is driven with the
accelerator pedal position in the power
range.
This will not be displayed when Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system (if so equipped)
or cruse control system (if so equipped) is
operating.
4. Current fuel consumption and
average fuel consumption (MPG, l
(liter)/100 km or km/l)
Current fuel consumption:
The current fuel consumption mode shows
the current fuel consumption.
Average fuel consumption:
The average fuel consumption mode shows
the average fuel consumption since the last
reset. Resetting is done by pushing the
orswitch for longer than 1 second.
The average fuel consumption is also reset
on the lower display. See the Infiniti InTouch
Owner’s Manual.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a
reset, the display shows “——”.
5. Vehicle speed (MPH or km/h)
The vehicle speed mode shows the current
vehicle speed and the average vehicle speed
since the last reset.
Average vehicle speed:
Resetting is done by pushing the

5-22Starting and driving
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
within the range of economy drive, the ECO
drive indicator light illuminates in green.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
above the range of economy drive, the ECO
drive indicator light turns off. For ECO pedal
system equipped models, see “ECO pedal
system” (P.5-22).
The ECO drive indicator light will not
illuminate in the following cases:
.When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
. When the vehicle speed is below 4 MPH
(6 km/h) or over 90 MPH (144 km/h).
. When the cruise control (if so equipped)
or the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system (if so equipped) is operated.
ECO pedal system (if so equipped)
The ECO pedal system helps assist the driver
to improve fuel economy by increasing the
reaction force of the accelerator pedal.
When the ECO drive indicator light is
blinking or remains off, the ECO pedal
system increases the reaction force of the
accelerator pedal.
JVS0934X
When the ECO drive indicator illuminates in
green, the accelerator reaction force is
normal. When the ECO drive indicator light
is blinking or remains off, the ECO pedal
system increases the reaction force of the
accelerator pedal.
The ECO pedal system may not vary accel-
erator reaction force under the following
conditions:
. When the shift lever is in the N (Neutral)
or R (Reverse) position.
. When Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) is
being operated.
If the ECO pedal system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The ECO pedal system
will not vary the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.
When the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector is
rotated from the ECO mode to another
mode (STANDARD, SPORT, SNOW or
PERSONAL) while the ECO pedal system
is operating, the ECO pedal system con-
tinues to operate until the accelerator pedal
is released.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly,
the ECO pedal system will not increase the
reaction force of the acceleration pedal. The
ECO pedal system is not designed to prevent
the vehicle from accelerating.
Adjusting the ECO pedal system reaction
force:The ECO pedal system reaction force can be
adjusted. The reaction force setting will be
maintained until the setting is changed even
if the hybrid system is turned off.
