Advanced climate control systemGUID-AD61F339-E220-4617-BF07-B3EC3255539CThe 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.SAA2734
Ion control:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster®ions into the air blown
from the ventilators and reduces odor
absorbed into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions
automatically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases 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 indication in the screen
changes to “
”.
Outside odor and exhaust gas detection
sensor:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407This vehicle is equipped with an outside
odor and exhaust gas detection sensor.

gas, and then the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.

OPERATING TIPSGUID-05B14404-70B8-489F-89C7-C5767F0AC7CEWhen 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. This is not
a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air will flow normally from
the foot outlets.

ture. Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTERGUID-25EB7DE1-36F7-4B0F-9FD5-D23071134FE8Type 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 Maintenance Guide.
To replace the filter, contact an INFINITI retailer.
The filter should be replaced if air flow is
extremely decreased or when windows fog
up easily when operating heater or air
conditioning system.
Type C:
The climate control system is equipped
with a natural grape seed polyphenol filter
which collects 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
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.
