AMBIENT TEMPERATURE The outside ambient temperature will be
shown on the center display.
The ambient temperature sensor is lo-
cated in front of the radiator. The sensor
may be affected by road or engine heat,
wind direction and other driving condi-
tions. The display may differ from the ac-
tual outside temperature or the tempera-
ture displayed on various signs or bill-
boards.
OPERATING TIPS When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate
for a maximum of 150 seconds. However,
this is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow from
the foot outlets will operate normally. The sensor
q A
on the instrument panel
helps maintain a constant temperature;
do not put anything on or around this
sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER The air conditioning system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure air
conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates
efficiently, replace the filter in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in the
INFINITI Service and maintenance guide.
To replace the filter, contact an INFINITI
dealer. The filter should be replaced if air flow de-
creases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air
conditioning system.
