up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioning system. The air conditioning system in your INFINITI
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind. This refrigerant
will not harm the earth's ozone layer. How-
ever, special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lu-
bricants will cause severe damage to your air
conditioning system. See ªCapacities and rec-
ommended fuel/lubricantsº in the ª10. Techni-
cal and consumer informationº section for air
conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air conditioning
system.
WARNING The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper equip-
ment. Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and press
the POWER, FM or AM button to turn on the
radio. If you listen to the radio with the engine
not running, the key should be turned to the
ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to ex-
tend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general characteris-
tics of FM, AM and satellite radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving
vehicle, even when the finest equipment is
used. These characteristics are completely
normal in a given reception area, and do not
indicate any malfunction in your radio system.
Remember that a moving vehicle is not the
ideal place to listen to a radio. Because of theSERVICING AIR CONDITIONER AUDIO SYSTEM

Satellite radio antenna Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof rack blocks the
satellite radio signal. If possible, do not put
cargo over the satellite radio antenna. When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone
in your INFINITI, be sure to observe the fol-
lowing cautions, otherwise the new equipment
may adversely affect the Engine control sys-
tem and other electronic parts.
WARNING O A cellular telephone should not be
used while driving so full attention
may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of
cellular telephones while driving.
O If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recommended.
Exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation.
O If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle before doing so. CAUTION O Keep the antenna as far as possible
away from the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
O Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the Multiport Fuel
Injection harness. Do not route the
antenna wire next to any harness.
O Adjust the antenna standing-wave ra-
tio as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
O Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.

IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION Unfortunately, accidents do occur. In this un-
likely event, there is some important informa-
tion you should know. Many insurance compa-
nies routinely authorize the use of non-
genuine collision parts in order to cut costs,
among other reasons.
Insist on the use of Genuine Infiniti
Collision Parts! If you want your vehicle to be restored using parts made to INFINITI's original exacting
specifications Ð if you want to help it to last
and hold its resale value, the solution is
simple. Tell your insurance agent and your
repair shop to only use Genuine Infiniti
Collision Parts. INFINITI does not warrant
non-Infiniti parts, nor does Infiniti's warranty
apply to damage caused by a non-genuine
parts.
Using Genuine Infiniti Parts can help protect
your personal safety, preserve your warranty
protection and maintain the resale value of
your vehicle. And if your vehicle was leased,
using Genuine Infiniti Parts may prevent or
limit unnecessary excess wear and tear ex-
penses at the end of your lease.
INFINITI designs its hoods with crumple zones
to minimize the risk that the hood will penetrate
the windshield of your vehicle in an accident.
Non-genuine (imitation) parts may not provide
such built in safety features. Also, non-genuine
parts often show premature wear, rust and
corrosion.
Why should you take a chance? In over 40 states, the law says you must be
advised if non-genuine parts are used to repair
your vehicle. And some states/provinces have
enacted laws that restrict insurance compa-
nies from authorizing the use of non-genuineOWNER'S MANUAL/SERVICE
