ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYS-
TEM (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the automatic air circulation control
with the exhaust gas/outside odor detect-
ing sensor and with ion control.

Touch to turn on the automatic air
recirculation mode.

Indicates the Plasmacluster®ion emis-

exhaust gas/outside odor detection sen-
sor:
The Advanced Climate Control system
comes with an exhaust gas detection/
outside odor sensor. When the automatic
air circulation control is activated, the
sensor detects odors outside the vehicle
such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust
gas such as gasoline or diesel. When such
odors or gases are detected, the display
and the system automatically change from
the fresh air mode to the recirculation
mode.
When the automatic air circulation control
mode is on, for the first 5 minutes, the air
recirculation mode is selected to prevent
dust, dirt and pollen from entering the
vehicle and to clean the air inside of the
vehicle.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects ex-
haust gas and automatically alternates
between the air recirculation mode and
the fresh air mode.

.The outside temperature is approximately
32 8F(0 8C) or above.
Ion control:
The Advanced Climate Control system unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter
®ions into the air blown from the
ventilators to reduce odor absorbed into
the interior trim and to suppress airborne
bacteria. The high-density Plasmacluster
®
ions also have a proven skin moisture
preserving effect.
The Plasmacluster
®icon on the CLIMATE
screen indicates the status of the Plas-
macluster
®ion emission from the system
and changes with the amount of the air
flow.
OPERATING TIPS
. The sensors*Aand*Bon the instru-
ment panel helps maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around these sensors. .
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 normally from the foot
outlets.
. A visible mist may be seen coming from
the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does
not indicate a malfunction.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
With Advanced Climate Control system:
The Climate Control system is equipped
with a natural grape seed polyphenol filter
that 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.
materials.
. If any malfunctions are found or the
steering-wheel heater does not operate,
turn the switch off and have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
Touch [Steering Heater] on the CLIMATE
screen to turn on/off the steering-wheel
heating manually. The steering-wheel heat-
ing will turn on and will turn off auto-
matically after 30 minutes. When the
steering-wheel heating is turned on, the
indicator above [Steering Heater] will turn
on.
If the surface temperature of the steering-
wheel is above the temperature within
which the system is designed to operate,
the system will not heat the steering-
wheel. This is not a malfunction.
Automatic steering-wheel heating can be
turned on/off from the climate control
settings screen.
