2018 INFINITI Q70 HYBRID trip computer

Hybrid System-8Hybrid System Overview
When the vehicle decelerates while the
vehicle is driven with the shift lever in the D
(drive) position or in the manual shift mode,
the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery can be
charged by the electric motor. The electric
motor converts the energy of the rotating
wheels into electric power under the follow-
ing circumstances:
.When the accelerator pedal is released.
. When the brake pedal is depressed
. When there is no malfunction in the brake
system or the INFINITI Direct Response
Hybrid
®System
The regenerative brake may not work prop-
erly if the vehicle has tires and road wheels
other than the ones specified in this manual.
Drive your vehicle with smooth acceleration
and deceleration.
. While driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for most
efficient use, do not accelerate or de-
celerate your vehicle more than neces-
sary.
. Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
. The power of the Lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery can be checked on the Energy
Flow in the center display or Li-ion
battery status meter in the vehicle
information display. See “Energy Flow”
(P.Hybrid System-6) or “Trip computer”
(P.2-28). Gradual or non-abrupt accel-
eration and deceleration will make more
effective use of the electric motor
power, using less gasoline engine power.
. When parking, be sure to place the shift
lever in the P (Park) position. While
driving, place the shift lever in the D
(Drive) position.The Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedes-
trians (VSP) system is a function that uses
sound to help alert pedestrians of the
presence of the vehicle when it is being
driven at a low speed in the electric drive
mode under the following conditions:
. The sound starts when the vehicle starts
accelerating.
. The sound stops when the vehicle speed
is more than 19 MPH (30 km/h) while
accelerating.
. The sound starts when the vehicle speed
is less than 16 MPH (25 km/h) while
decelerating.
. The sound stops when the vehicle stops.
. The sound does not stop with the vehicle
in the R (Reverse) position even if the
vehicle stops.
The VSP system is automatically turned on
when the vehicle is in the READY to drive
mode.
If there is a malfunction in the VSP system,
the VSP OFF indicator light in the meter
illuminates. See “Approaching Vehicle Sound
for Pedestrians (VSP) OFF indicator light”
(P.2-18).

Key battery is running out of power.
If this indicator appears, replace the battery
with a new one. (See “Intelligent Key battery
replacement” (P.8-21).)
7. Intelligent Key ignition indicator
This indicator appears when the Intelligent
Key battery is running out of power and
when the Intelligent Key System and vehicle
are not communicating normally.
If this indicator appears, touch the ignition
switch with the Intelligent Key while depres-
sing the brake pedal. (See “Intelligent Key
battery discharge” (P.5-12).)
8. Parking brake release warning
This warning appears when the vehicle
speed is above 4 MPH (7 km/h) and the
parking brake is applied.
9. Low fuel warning
This warning appears when the fuel level in
the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge
reaches the empty (0) position.
There is a small reserve of fuel remaining in
the tank when the fuel gauge reaches the
empty (0) position.
10. Low washer fluid warning
This warning appears when the washer tank
fluid is at a low level. Add washer fluid as
necessary. (See “Window washer fluid” (P.8-
12).)
11. Door/trunk open warning (igni-
tion switch is in the ON position)
This warning appears if any of the doors
and/or the trunk lid are open or not closed
securely. The vehicle icon indicates which
door or the trunk lid is open on the display.
12. Intelligent Key system warning
This warning appears if there is a malfunc-
tion in the steering lock system or Intelligent
Key system.
If this warning appears while the hybrid
system is stopped, the steering lock (if so
equipped) cannot be released or the hybrid
system cannot be started. If this warning
appears while the hybrid system is running,
the vehicle can be driven. However, it is
recommended you contact an INFINITI
retailer for repair as soon as possible.
13. Loose fuel cap warning
This warning appears when the fuel-filler
cap is not tightened correctly after the
vehicle has been refueled. (See “Fuel-filler
cap” (P.3-22).)
14. Check tire pressure warning
This warning appears when the low tire
pressure warning light in the meter illumi-
nates and low tire pressure is detected. If
this warning appears, stop the vehicle and
adjust the pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. (See
“Low tire pressure warning light” (P.2-15)
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) ” (P.5-5).)
15. “TIMER” indicator
This indicator appears when the set “TIMER”
indicator activates. You can set the time for
up to 6 hours. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-
28).)
16. Low outside temperature
warning
This warning appears if the outside tem-
perature is below 37°F (3°C). The warning
can be set not to be displayed. (See “Trip
computer” (P.2-28).)
17. Hybrid system over heat warn-
ing
This warning appears when the temperature
of the hybrid system is too high. Stop the
vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible.

MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
1. Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for changing the engine oil.
You can set or reset the distance for
changing the engine oil. (See “Trip computer”
(P.2-28).)
2. Oil filter replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing the oil filter.
You can set or reset the distance for
replacing the oil filter. (See “Trip computer”
(P.2-28).)
3. Tire replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance comes for replacing tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
tires. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-28).)
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. See “Changing
wheels and tires” (P.8-33). Many factors
including tire inflation, alignment, driv-
ing habits and road conditions affect tire
wear and when tires should be replaced.Setting the tire replacement indicator
for a certain driving distance does not
mean your tires will last that long. Use
the tire replacement indicator as a guide
only and always perform regular tire
checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks
could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to a
collision, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
4. “OTHER” indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing items other
than the engine oil, oil filter and tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
the items. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-28).)
More maintenance reminders are also avail-
able on the center display. (See the Infiniti
InTouch Owner’s Manual.)
