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.
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
defroster mode (the indicator light on
the “
”front defroster button is
turned off).
. The outside temperature is about 328F
(08C) or more. .
The outside odor and exhaust gas
detection sensor detects industrial
odors such as pulp or chemicals and
exhaust gas such as gasoline or diesel.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, for the first 5 minutes, the recircula-
tion 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
alternates between the recirculation mode
and outside air circulation 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.
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 MICROFILTERGUID-25EB7DE1-36F7-4B0F-9FD5-D23071134FE8To make sure that the air conditioner
heats, defogs and ventilates efficiently,
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 CONTROLGUID-3BCE759E-E6AD-4BAD-8B4D-0169FF1A7AADThe 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” (P.9-2) for climate control sys-
tem refrigerant and lubricant recommenda-
tions.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate con-
trol system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under high
pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air
conditioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.

Radio reception is affected by station
signal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest

the active phone and asks for a new
priority level (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
If the new priority level is already being
used for another phone, the two
phones will swap priority levels.
For example, if the current priority
levels are:
Priority Level 1 = Phone A
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone C and you change the priority level of
Phone C to Level 1, then:
Priority Level 1 = Phone C
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone A
