Auto humidity control:
The sensor installed on the upper side of
the windshield detects the temperature
and humidity of the passenger compart-
ment and the surface of the windshield,
and controls the humidity of the passenger
compartment to not be over-dry or moist
enough to fog the windows. Moreover, it
detects potential fog before formation on
the windows and operates to remove it.

IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
Without Forest Air
®system
The climate control system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, pollen, dust, allergen (such as pollen,
tick shell), 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.
With Forest Air®system
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.
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.
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.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms:
. MP3 —MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is
the most well known compressed digital audio file format. This format
allows for near
“CD quality”sound, but
at a fraction of the size of normal audio
files. MP3 conversion of an audio track
can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually
no perceptible loss in quality. The
compression reduces certain parts of
sound that seem inaudible to most
people.
. WMA —Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when
compared to MP3s at the same level
of quality.
. AAC/M4A —Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression
format. Audio files that have been
encoded with AAC are generally smaller
in size and deliver a higher quality of
sound than MP3.
. Bit rate —Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a

compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency —Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
. Multisession —Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag —The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.

Playback order:
. The folder names of folders not contain-
ing compressed audio files are not
shown in the display.
. If there is a file in the top level of a disc/
USB, “Root Folder” is displayed. .
The playback order is the order in which
the files were written by the writing
software, so the files might not play in
the desired order.
. Music playback order of compressed
audio files is as illustrated.
