2013 INFINITI EX warning

actual moving course.
CAMERA AIDING CORNER SONAR
FUNCTION
When the corner of the vehicle moves
closer to the object while the Around View
Monitor is displayed, an indicator is
displayed and a tone is sounded by the
corner sonar function to warn the driver.
The color of the corner sonar indicator and
the pattern of the tone vary according to
the distance to the object.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the volume of the tone
increase. When the corner of the vehicle
is very close to the object, the indicator
stops blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.
Keep the corner sonars (located on the
front and rear bumper fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the corner sonar function will
be diminished.
WARNING
.The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The colors of the corner sonar indicator
and the distance guide lines in the front/
rearview indicate different distances to
the object.
. Inclement weather may affect the func-
tion of the corner sonar system; this
may include reduced performance or a
false activation.
. This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on
the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the tone clearly.

OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate.
This is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, air will flow nor-
mally from the foot outlets.

The sunload sensor*Aon the instrument
panel helps maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
To make sure that the air conditioner
heats, defogs/defrosts and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter according the
specified maintenance intervals listed 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. A natural grape seed polyphe-
nol filter (if so equipped) collects and
neutralizes dirt, pollen, dust, etc.
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 con-
sumer information” section for climate
control system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate con-
trol system.

®Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes.
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
®
functions share the same frequency
band (2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth®
and the wireless LAN functions at the
same time may slow down or discon-
nect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended
that you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-
Fi) when using the Bluetooth
®func-
tions.
. Set up the wireless connection between
a cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Blue-
tooth
®Hands-Free Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth®enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the tele-
phone service area.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is
difficult to receive radio waves; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground
parking garage, behind a tall build-
ing or in a mountainous area.
