Adjusts engine and transmission points to enhance fuel economy.

NOTE:
Selecting this drive mode will not necessarily improve fuel economy as many driving factors influence its effectiveness.

Operation

Turn the drive mode select switch to the ECO position. “ECO” appears in the vehicle information display for 2 seconds and the ECO drive indicator light illuminates on the instrument panel.

When the accelerator pedal is depressed within the range of economy drive, the ECO drive indicator light illuminates in green. When the accelerator pedal is depressed above the range of economy drive, the color of the ECO drive indicator light changes to orange. For ECO pedal system equipped models see “ECO pedal system” in this section.

The ECO drive indicator light will not illuminate in the following cases:

● When the shift selector is in the R (Reverse) position.
● When the vehicle speed is below 3 MPH (4.8 km/h) or over 90 MPH (144 km/h).
● When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system (if so equipped) is operated.

ECO pedal system

Helps assist the driver to improve fuel economy by increasing the reaction force of the accelerator pedal. When the ECO drive indicator light is blinking or turns orange, the ECO pedal system increases the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.

When the ECO drive indicator illuminates in green, the accelerator reaction force is normal.

When the ECO drive indicator light is blinking or turns orange, the ECO pedal system increases the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.

The ECO pedal system may not vary accelerator reaction force under the following conditions:

● When the shift selector is in the N (Neutral) or R (Reverse) position.
● When Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (if so equipped) is being operated.

If the ECO pedal system malfunctions, it will cancel automatically. The ECO pedal system will not vary the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.

When the drive mode select switch is rotated from the ECO mode to another mode (STANDARD, SPORT or SNOW) while the ECO pedal system is operating, the ECO pedal system continues to operate until the pedal is released.

If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the ECO pedal system will not increase the reaction force of the acceleration pedal. The ECO pedal system is not designed to prevent the vehicle from accelerating.

Adjusting the ECO pedal system reaction force:

The ECO pedal system reaction force can be adjusted. The reaction force setting will be maintained until the setting is changed even if the engine is turned off.

Setting ECO pedal reaction force:

1. Press the SETTING 1 button and select “ECO DRIVE” on the display using the INFINITI controller. Then press the ENTER 2 button.
2. Select “ECO pedal” and press the ENTER 2 button.

3. To set the reaction force of the ECO pedal system, select “Standard” or “Soft”.
4. To turn off the ECO pedal system, select “OFF”, select “ON” and press the ENTER 2 button. When the ECO pedal system is tuned off, the accelerator will operate normally.
