1. Energy monitor
The energy flow related to the hybrid system
is shown by the arrow symbols.
: Li-ion battery
: Engine
shows the charge level of the Li-ion
battery.
+ : Charge level is high
- : Charge level is low
The charge level display will continuously
change as the Li-ion battery charge level
increase or decreases during normal vehicle
operation. Movement of the display from
the far right to the far left of the bar is
normal.
The energy monitor is also displayed on the
center display. (See “Energy monitors” (P.
Hybrid System-5).)
2. Li-ion battery state of charge and
acceleration guide
Li-ion battery state of charge:
This displays the remaining charge in the Li-
ion battery.
The charge level display will continuously
change as the Li-ion battery charge level
increase or decrease during normal vehicle
operation. Movement of the display from
the far right to the far left of the bar is
normal.
This works in conjunction with the remaining
battery display on the center display.
Acceleration guide:
This display provides the driver a visual
display of how efficiently the vehicle is being
driven based on accelerator pedal position.
When the drive mode is set to ECO using the
INFINITI Drive Mode Selector, the accelera-
tion guide operates with the ECO drive
indicator and ECO pedal (if so equipped) to
help you improve fuel economy. (See “ECO
drive indicator light” (P.2-18), “INFINITI
Drive Mode Selector” (P.5-19) and “ECO
pedal system” (P.5-20).)

The above examples of the acceleration
guide means 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 is operating.
3. EV mode odometer and twin trip
odometer
EV mode odometer:
This indicates the total distance traveled
using the electric motor only.
EV mode twin trip odometer:
This indicates the distance traveled in an
individual trip using the electric motor only.
2 types of individual trip can be recorded,
TRIP A and TRIP B.
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch will toggle
between TRIP A and TRIP B.
To reset the display to 0, hold down the
TRIP RESET switch for more than approxi-
mately 1 second.
4. Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption mode shows
the current fuel consumption.
5. Average fuel consumption (MPG
or l (liter)/100 km) and speed (MPH
or km/h)
Fuel consumption:
The average fuel consumption mode shows
the average fuel consumption since the last
reset. Resetting is done by pushing the
switchfor longer than 1 second. (The average speed is also reset at the same
time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a
reset, the display shows “——”.
Speed:
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since the last reset. Resetting
is done by pushing the
switchfor
longer than 1 second. (The average fuel
consumption is also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The first 30 seconds after a reset, the
display shows “——”.
6. Elapsed time and trip odometer
(mls or km)
Elapsed time:
The elapsed time mode shows the time since
the last reset. The displayed time can be
reset by pushing the
switchfor longer
than 1 second. (The trip odometer is also
reset at the same time.)
Trip odometer:
The trip odometer mode shows the total
distance the vehicle has been driven since
the last reset. Resetting is done by pushing
the
switchfor longer than 1 second.
(The elapsed time is also reset at the same
time.)
7. Distance to empty (dte — mls or
km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides
you with an estimation of the distance that
can be driven before refueling. The dte is
constantly being calculated, based on the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the actual
fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is
displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the
dte display will change to “——”.
.If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position may con-
tinue to be displayed.
. When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.
8. Engine coolant temperature
gauge
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
This displays the temperature of the engine
coolant. The range of coolant overheat is indicated by the horizontal line of the upper
part of the H mark.
The engine coolant temperature varies with
the outside air temperature and driving
conditions.
CAUTION
If the engine is overheated, continued
operation of the vehicle may seriously
damage the engine. See “If your vehicle
overheats” (P.6-12) for immediate ac-
tion required.
9. Outside air temperature (ICY — °F
or °C)
The outside air temperature is displayed in °F
or °C in the range of −22 to 140°F (−30 to
60°C).
The outside air temperature mode includes a
low temperature warning feature. If the
outside air temperature is below 37°F
(3°C), the warning is displayed on the screen.
The outside temperature sensor is located in
front of the radiator. The sensor may be
affected by road or engine heat, wind
directions and other driving conditions. The
display may differ from the actual outside
temperature or the temperature displayed
on various signs or billboards.
10. Setting
Setting is available while the hybrid system
is running.
Setting cannot be made while driving. A
message “Setting can only be operated
when stopped” is also displayed on the
vehicle information display.

Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:
. Vehicle security system
. INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audio alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, hood, or trunk lid when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a motion
detection type system that activates when a
vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the

The climate controlled seat has air filters.
If the climate controlled seat is not
functioning properly, it may indicate the
air filters may be clogged. To check the
air filters for the climate controlled seat,
it is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
climate controlled seats if you or the
occupants can not monitor seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel pain
in those body parts in contact with the
seat. Use of the climate controlled seats
by such people could result in serious
injury.
CAUTION
. The 12-volt battery could run down if
the climate controlled seat is oper-
ated while the hybrid system is not
running.
. Do not use the climate controlled seat
for extended periods or when no one is using the seat.
. Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become
overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the climate controlled
seat.
. Any liquid spilled on the seat should
be removed immediately with a dry
cloth.
. The climate controlled seat has an air
filter. Do not operate climate con-
trolled seat without an air filter. This
may result in damage to the system.
. When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar ma-
terials.
. If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not op-
erate, turn the switch off and have
the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
