To return to the automatic control mode, push
the intake air control button until the indicator
light on the “
” side illuminates. The
advanced climate control system turns on and
the intake air will be controlled automatically.
To turn system off
Push the OFF button.
Advanced climate control system
The advanced climate control system keeps the
air inside of the vehicle clean, using the ion
control and the automatic air intake control with
outside odor and exhaust gas detecting sensor. 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 “
”.
Outside odor and exhaust gas detection sensor :
This vehicle is equipped with an outside odor
and exhaust gas detection sensor. When the
automatic intake air control is ON, the sensor
detects odors and exhaust gas, and then the
system automatically changes from the outside
air circulation 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
outside odor and 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.
● The outside odor and exhaust gas detection
sensor detects industrial odors such as pulp
or chemicals and exhaust gas such as gaso-
line or diesel.
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 outside
odors and exhaust gas and automatically alter-
nates between the recirculation mode and out-
side 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. The sunload sensor
Aon the instrument panel
helps maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around this sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
Type A and B:
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 C:
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
SIC2768
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-37

FM radio reception :
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to
the distance between the transmitter and re-
ceiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path,
exhibiting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to
fade and/or drift.Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with increased
distance from the station transmitter, static or
flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by
lowering the treble setting to reduce the treble
response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception :
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmit-
ter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.Satellite radio reception (if so equipped) :
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
the satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of
any metal or large building for the satellite
radio to receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active XM
Satellite Radio subscription. The satellite radio
is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be affected
if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
