Our update of the Infiniti dashboard symbols page resulted in a single change. Not only is there very little to report, the one actual change was nothing more than a color swap.
The Pop-up Hood indicator may now ne seen in red. The pop-up hood system is designed as a pedestrian safety system akin to the
The pop up hood is used – that is, blown open by explosives – if a front impact is detected that is equal to or greater than that of a pedestrian and between about 16 to 34 mph (25 to 55 km/h) or curb or hole, etc. If the system has not been activated, have a qualified service shop or your dealer repair the system. If it has been used, it will need to be reset by the shop or dealer.
All that said, we believe the real reason behind the dearth of new symbols is a lack of new technology currently being employed by the company. In fact, the current Infiniti line up lacks even a single electrified vehicle. This despite the fact that parent company Nissan has been and continues to be at the forefront of electric vehicles (EVs) among Japanese car makers.
Signaling a change in the near future at Infiniti is the Vision Qe, a concept EV likely to hit the market in calendar 2025 as the company’s first pure EV and the first of a new line of EVs.
Infiniti‘s website says “These new models embody our evolved design language. Inspired by Japanese design philosophies, they deliver artistry in motion and pave the way for us to achieve our goal of an electrified range by 2030.”
The last few words strike us as a bit of mistranslation, but there is no question that the car’s design is a radical departure from past models.
Infiniti‘s dashboard symbols page is here, likely to see its own radical departures as the new models come to market.
