SPORT+ MODE (if so equipped)
In addition to the characteristics of the
SPORT mode, this mode heightens steering
response and changes the setting of VDC
(Vehicle Dynamic Control) for a more sporty
driving experience.
NOTE:
.VDC operation is reduced when the
INFINITI Drive Mode Selector is used
to select the SPORT+ mode (if so
equipped). The VDC system may not
operate in the same circumstances when
compared to operation in the standard
mode. To help prevent accidents drive
carefully, avoid careless or dangerous
driving techniques and be especially
careful when driving and cornering on
slippery surfaces.
. In the SPORT+ mode, fuel economy may
be reduced.
SPORT MODE
. Adjusts the engine and transmission
points for a higher response.
. The setting of the steering system is
adjusted to provide a quick steering
response and a heavy steering effort.
. The setting of the suspension system is
adjusted to increase the damping force.
(if so equipped) NOTE:
In the SPORT mode, fuel economy may be
reduced.
SNOW MODE
Changes the engine characteristics to aid
driving on slippery roads.
ECO MODE (if so equipped)
Assists the driver’s eco-driving. The engine
and transmission points are adjusted for
improved fuel economy, providing such a
driving features as smooth starting or con-
stant cruising.
NOTE:
Selecting the ECO mode will not necessarily
improve fuel economy as many driving
factors influence its effectiveness.
Operation
Select the ECO mode using the INFINITI
Drive Mode Selector. The ECO drive indica-
tor light on the instrument panel illuminates.
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.5-23). 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 2 MPH
(3.2 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.
Starting and driving5-23

5-24Starting and driving
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+ (if so
equipped), SPORT, SNOW or PERSONAL)
while the ECO pedal system is operating, the
ECO pedal system continues 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 engine is turned off.
JVS0246X
Setting ECO pedal reaction force:
1. Push the MENU button
and touch
[Settings] on the lower display.
2. Touch [Drive Mode Enhancement].
3. Touch [ECO Pedal].
4. To set the reaction force of the ECO pedal system, touch [Standard] or [Soft].
5. To turn off the ECO pedal system, touch [OFF].
When the ECO pedal system is turned off,
the accelerator will operate normally.
