.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 TIPS
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 nor-
mally from the foot outlets.
SIC2768
The sunload sensor*Aon the instrument
panel helps maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
To 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 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” (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.

6. Plan for the shortest route..Utilize a map or navigation system todetermine the best route to save
time.
7. Avoid idling.
.Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30-60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.
.Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruis-
ing speed through the toll and avoid
stopping and starting.
9. Winter warm up.
.Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
.Vehicles typically need no more than30 seconds of idling at start-up to
effectively circulate the engine oil
before driving.
.Your vehicle will reach its ideal
operating temperature more quickly
while driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your vehicle cool.
.Park your vehicle in a covered
parking area or in the shade when-
ever possible.
.When entering a hot vehicle, open- ing the windows will help to reduce
the inside temperature faster, result-
ing in reduced demand on your A/C
system. .
Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
. Keep the tires inflated to the correct
pressure. Low tire pressure increases
tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
. Use the recommended viscosity engine
oil. (See “Engine oil and oil filter
recommendation” (P.9-6).)

8-6Maintenance and do-it-yourself
.The fuel filter or fuel lines should be
serviced by an INFINITI retailer because
the fuel lines are under high pressure
even when the engine is off.
CAUTION
.Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Turn the engine off and
wait until it cools down.
. Avoid direct contact with used engine oil
and coolant. Improperly disposed engine
oil, coolant, and/or other vehicle fluids
can damage the environment. Always
conform to local regulations for disposal
of vehicle fluid.
This “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section gives instructions regarding only
those items which are relatively easy for an
owner to perform.
A genuine INFINITI Service Manual is also
available. (See “Owner’s manual/service
manual order information” (P.9-24).)
You should be aware that incomplete or
improper servicing may result in operating
difficulties or excessive emissions, and could affect your warranty coverage.
If in
doubt about any servicing, we recommend
that it be done by an INFINITI retailer.

9. Refill the engine with the recommended oil through the oil filler opening, and
install the oil filler cap securely.
See “Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants” (P.9-2) for drain and
refill capacity. The drain and refill
capacity depends on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time. Use these specifi-
cations for reference only. Always use
the dipstick to determine the proper
amount of oil in the engine.
10. Start the engine and check for leakage around the drain plug and the oil filter.
Correct as required.

above symptoms are encountered, have
your vehicle checked at an INFINITI retailer
or other competent service facility.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is no
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER RE-
COMMENDATION
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure
satisfactory engine life and performance,
see“Capacities and recommended fuel/
lubricants” (P.9-2). INFINITI recommends
the use of an energy conserving oil in
order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API) certifi-
cation or International Lubricant Standar-
dization and Approval Committee (ILSAC)
certification and SAE viscosity standard.
These oils have the API certification mark
on the front of the container. Oils which do
not have the specified quality label should
not be used as they could cause engine
damage.
Oil additives
INFINITI does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not
necessary when the proper oil type is used
and maintenance intervals are followed.
