Ion control
This unit generates highly concentrated Plas-
macluster ions into the air blown from the
ventilators and reduces odor absorbed into the
interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster ions automati-
cally.
The amount of Plasmacluster ions increases
according to the amount of air flow. When the
air flow is high, “
” is displayed on the
screen and when the air flow is low, the indica-
tion in the screen changes to “
”.
Exhaust gas detection sensor
This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust gas
detection sensor. When the automatic intake air
control is ON, the sensor detects pollutants
such as CO and NO
2outside and the system
automatically changes from the outside air cir-
culation mode to the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is pushed
under the following conditions, the indicator
light on the “
” side will illuminate and the
exhaust gas detection sensor will turn on.
● The air flow control is not in the front
defogger mode (the indicator light on the
“
” front defogger button is turned off). ●
The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C)
or more.
When the automatic intake air control is ON, for
the first 5 minutes, the recirculation mode is
selected to prevent dust, dirt and pollen from
entering the vehicle and cleans the air inside of
the vehicle with Plasmacluster ion that are
emitted from the ventilator.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust gas
and automatically alternates between the recir-
culation mode and outside air circulation mode.
OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the air flow from
the foot outlets may not operate for a maximum
of 150 seconds. This is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air will flow
normally from the foot outlets.Models with navigation system

The sunload sensorAon the instrument panel
helps maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around this sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
Type A:
The climate control system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner
heats, defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace
the filter in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the INFINITI Service and Mainte-
nance Guide. To replace the filter, contact an
INFINITI retailer. The filter should be replaced if air flow is ex-
tremely decreased or when windows fog up eas-
ily when operating heater or air conditioning
system.
Type B:
The climate control system is equipped with a
natural grape seed polyphenol filter which col-
lects and neutralizes dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To
make sure that the 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 retailer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow de-
creases significantly or if windows fog up easily
when operating the heater or air conditioner.
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your INFINITI is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not
harm the earth’s ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are required
when servicing your INFINITI air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage to your climate control
system. (See “CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FUEL/LUBRICANTS” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section for climate con-
trol system refrigerant and lubricant recommen-
dations.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly climate control sys-
tem.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under high
pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air con-
ditioner service should be done only by an ex-
perienced technician with the proper
equipment.
