Without Advanced Climate Control system:
The Climate Control system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter that collects
dirt, pollen, dust, allergens (such as
pollen, tick shells), 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 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.

the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to the

information regarding the proper care of
the device.

cause a checkmark to be displayed on
and off (flickering). Always make sure
that the iPod is connected properly.

tarily black out, but it will soon recover.

BLUETOOTH®HANDS-FREE PHONE SYSTEM
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
A cellular phone cannot be registered. The cellular phone is not compatible with the in- vehicle hands-free phone system. Use a cellular phone compatible with the system. Visit the
website (www.infinitiusa.com/bluetooth) for model com-
patibility.
Registration of the cellular phone has been
performed incorrectly. Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.
A cellular phone cannot be connected or is
disconnected after the registration is com-
pleted. The Bluetooth
®setting of the in-vehicle hands-free
phone system is turned off. Turn on the Bluetooth®setting of the system.
The Bluetooth
®setting of the cellular phone is
turned off. Turn on the Bluetooth®setting of the cellular phone.
The remaining battery level of the cellular phone is
low. Charge the battery of the cellular phone.
The wireless Bluetooth
®connection may be dis-
rupted depending on the location of the cellular
phone. Do not place the cellular phone in an area surrounded by
metal or far away from the in-vehicle hands- free phone
system. Do not place the cellular phone close to the seats
or your body.
Registration of the cellular phone is not completed. Perform registration of the cellular phone.
A call to a particular phone number fails. If the system tries to make a call several times to the same phone number (for example: the party does
not respond to the call, the party is out of the
service area, or the call is abandoned before the
party responds), the system may reject a request to
make a call to the phone number. Turn off the cellular phone and turn it on again to reset
the connection.
