2018 INFINITI Q70-HYBRID warning

Avoid quick starting or abrupt acceleration.
When the warning turns off, the vehicle can
be driven.
If the warning appears again soon after it
turns off, it is recommended that you have
the vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer.
Do not drive the vehicle with the warning
on. Doing so could cause a hybrid system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not hold the vehicle in a stopped
position on an uphill grade by depressing
the accelerator or by slowly creeping
forward. This may cause damage to the
transmission or the vehicle may enter
traffic causing serious injury or death.
Always use the brake pedal when stop-
ping on an uphill grade.
CAUTION
If you continue to drive the vehicle while
the warning is displayed, the vehicle may
become undriveable. If this occurs, place
the shift lever in the “P” position and
wait for a short period of time with the
vehicle stopped until the display goesout. In this case, the warning will be
displayed alternately with the SHIFT “P”
warning. (See “4. SHIFT “P” warning”
(P.2-23).)
Do not drive the vehicle while this is
displayed. Doing so could cause a hybrid
system malfunction.

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.)

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).)

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

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
SECURITY SYSTEMS

If the light still remains on and/or the
hybrid system will not start, seek service
for the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
as soon as possible. Please bring all regis-
tered keys that you have. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
WARNING

solution may freeze on the windshield
and obscure your vision which may lead
to an accident. Warm windshield with
the defroster before you wash the wind-
shield.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the washer continu-
ously for more than 30 seconds.
. Do not operate the washer if the
reservoir tank is empty.

servoir tank with washer fluid con-
centrates at full strength. Some
methyl alcohol based washer fluid
concentrates may permanently stain
the grille if spilled while filling the
window washer reservoir tank.
. Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates
with water to the manufacturer’s
recommended levels before pouring
the fluid into the window washer
reservoir tank. Do not use the win-
dow washer reservoir tank to mix the washer fluid concentrate and water.
