INFO:
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
.The air flow control is not in the windshield
defrosting mode (the indicator light on
<
> is turned off).
.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

The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.

ventilates efficiently, replace the filter in
accordance with the maintenance schedule
in the INFINITI Service and Maintenance

SERVICING HEATER AND AIR CON-
DITIONER
The heating and air conditioning 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. Refer to Vehicle Owner’s
Manual for heating and air conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations.
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly heater and
air conditioning 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.
HEATED SEATS (if so equipped)
WARNING!
Do not use or allow occupants to use the seat
heater if you or the occupants cannot
monitor elevated seat temperatures or have
an inability to feel pain in those body parts in
contact with the seat. Use of the seat heater
by such people could result in serious injury.
CAUTION!
.
The battery could run down if the seat
heater is operated while the engine or
the hybrid system is not running.
. Do not use the seat heater for extended
periods or when no one is using the seat.
. Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket, cush-
ion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat
may become overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or heavy on
the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to the
heater.
