ASSIST CHARGE GAUGE
This meter displays the actual electric motor
power consumption and the charging power
to the Li-ion battery.
For additional information, See “Assist
charge gauge” (P.2-8).
ENERGY FLOW
When you use this system, make sure the
hybrid system is in the READY to drive mode.
See “Operation of the hybrid system” (P.
Hybrid System-4).If you use the system with the hybrid
system off (ignition switch placed in the
ACC position) for a long time, it will
discharge the 12-volt battery power, and
the hybrid system will not start.
Energy Flow for various operating modes
can be displayed on the center display.
1. Push INFO button on the control panel.
2. Touch [Energy Flow].
JVO0219X
This is an example of the Energy Flow
display. The Energy Flow display changes,
depending on the following operating con-
ditions. The graphic indicates the amount of
power in the Li-ion battery.
The following are displayed on the Energy
Flow screen.

When the vehicle is powered only by the
electric motor or gasoline engine.
. When the vehicle is powered by both the
electric motor and the gasoline engine.
. When the vehicle is charging the Li-ion
battery with the regenerative brake and

Warning check
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).)

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.

5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
. Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
rear seatback and trunk lid securely
latched when not in use, and prevent
children’s access to car keys.
. Do not attempt to test the vehicle on
a dynamometer (such as the dynam-
ometers used by some states for
emissions testing), or similar equip-
ment. Doing so may cause damage to
the drivetrain or the high voltage
battery. Make sure you inform test
facility personnel that your vehicle is
hybrid. Using the wrong test equip- ment may result in drivetrain damage
or unexpected vehicle movement
which could result in serious vehicle
damage or pearsonal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
ignition switch in the ON position
and the INFINITI Direct Response
Hybrid
®System in the READY to
drive mode for any extended length
of time.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time. .
Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing, otherwise exhaust gases could be
drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, follow these precau-
tions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high to
circulate the air.
. If electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger
compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust sys-
tem, underbody, or rear of the
vehicle.
