Hybrid System-2Hybrid System Overview
The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid®Sys-
tem combines the power of a gasoline
engine and an electric motor to help mini-
mize 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 conditions.
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
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 ser-
ious 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 Re-
sponse Hybrid
®System.
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life. It
is recommended that you contact your
INFINITI retailer for information about re-
cycling or disposal of the battery.
WARNING
. The INFINITI Direct Response Hy-
brid®System uses high voltage up to
approximately 408 volts. The system
can be hot during and after starting.
Be careful of both the high voltage
and the high temperature. Obey the
warning labels attached to the vehi-
cle.
. Never disassemble, remove or replace
high-voltage parts and harnesses as
well as their connectors. Doing so 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 service-
able parts. It is recommended that
you take your vehicle to an INFINITI
retailer for any necessary mainte-
nance.
. Never try to remove the service plug
located in the trunk. The service plug
is used only when the vehicle is
serviced by trained technicians wear-
ing personal protection equipment
and is part of the high voltage
system. Touching the service plug
can cause severe burns or electric
shock that may result in serious injury

after the 1 minute. Have the system checked.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. THE CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE warning does not appear if the
low tire pressure warning light illuminates to
indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.5-5).
WARNING
.If the light does not illuminate with
the ignition switch pushed ON, have
the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service as soon as possible.
. If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location
and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the
tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the
low tire pressure warning light OFF.
If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS
may be malfunctioning. If you have a
flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. If no tire is flat and
all tires are properly inflated, have
the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
. Since the spare tire is not equipped
with the TPMS, when a spare tire is
mounted or a wheel is replaced, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash
for approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for these services.
. Replacing tires with those not origin-
ally specified by INFINITI could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at speeds
of less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the
TPMS may not operate correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
