mode. When you need to heat only, use
this mode.
1. Push the“CLIMATE”button to on.
2. If the “A/C”indicator on the screen
illuminates, select the “A/C”key. (The
“A/C” indicator will turn off.)
3. Push the temperature control button to set the desired temperature.
. The temperature of the passenger
compartment will be maintained auto-
matically. Air flow distribution and fan
speed are also controlled automati-
cally.
. Do not set the temperature lower than
the outside air temperature. Otherwise
the system may not work properly.
. Not recommended if windows fog up.
When the outside temperature decreases
to approximately −238 F(0 8C), the A/C function does not activate even if the
“A/C”
indicator light illuminates.
Dual control mode setting:
You can individually set the driver and front
passenger side temperature and air flow
mode using each temperature control
button or manual air flow control button.
1. Push the “CLIMATE”button to on.

the “DUAL” indicator will turn off.
. The Dual control mode cannot be
activated when the air conditioner is
in the front defrosting mode “
”.
Automatic upper ventilator system:
In this mode, air from the center ventilators
flows both straight and upward in order to
control the cabin temperature without
blowing air directly on the occupants.
1. Push the “CLIMATE”button to on.
2. Select the “Upper Vent”key, and the
indicator on the screen will illuminate. The air flow against the driver’sor
passenger’s upper body becomes gen-
tle.
. Distribution between straight and up-
ward flows is determined automatically
by the climate control system. If you
prefer strong air flow against your
upper body, select the “Upper Vent”
key to turn the indicator light off.
. When the outside temperature de-
creases to approximately 148 F
( − 108 C), the “Upper Vent” function
does not activate. The “Upper Vent”
function reactivates automatically when
ambient temperature is 148F( −108C) or
more.

Operating tips
Breeze Mode:
When this mode is ON, fan speed fluc-
tuates during the Forest Air
®system
operation, creating a wind breeze similar
to a natural breeze using a combination of
the upper ventilator and the center venti-
lators at random.
. Breeze Mode will activate after the
temperature of the passenger compart-
ment becomes suitable.
. This function will not operate immedi-
ately after the hybrid system starts.
. Breeze Mode will activate when the air
flow mode is in the “
”and “”
mode.
. This function will turn off if the fan
speed or a ventilator outlet is manually
adjusted. .
The breeze patterns may change in
accordance with the amount of sun
load.
. When operating fan speed or air flow
control while the Forest Air
®system is
turned on, the “”indicator light on
the button will turn off automatically,
and the Breeze Mode function will turn
off.
. When the Breeze Mode function is
turned off while the Forest Air
®system
is on, the Breeze Mode function will
remain off until the “
”Forest button
is turned off and on again.
Outside odor and exhaust gas detection
sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an outside
odor and exhaust gas detection sensor.
When the automatic intake air control is
on, the sensor detects odors and exhaust
gas, and then the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode. When the
“
” Forest button is pushed, the outside
odor and exhaust gas detection sensor will
turn on.
When the Forest Air
®system is on, for the
first 40 seconds, the recirculation mode is
selected to prevent dust, dirt and pollen from entering the vehicle, and the system
cleans the air inside of the vehicle with
Plasmacluster
®ion that are emitted from
the ventilator. After 40 seconds, the out-
side odor and exhaust gas sensor activates
and automatically alternates between the
recirculation mode and outside air circula-
tion mode.
. The outside odor and exhaust gas
detection sensor detects industry odors
such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust
gas such as gasoline or diesel.
Inside Air Quality sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an inside air
quality sensor. When the sensor detects
odor in the cabin, the system increases the
fan speed automatically. When the Forest
Air
®system is on, the inside air quality
sensor will turn on. This function may not
work during the first 5 minutes after the
engine is started because the system is
still warming up.
. The Outside/Inside Air Mix function will
turn off when the air recirculation and
outside air circulation modes are chan-
ged manually. When the Outside/Inside
Air Mix function is not active, turn off
and on the Forest Air
®system, the
Outside/Inside Air Mix function will

activate again.
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.
. Push the “AUTO”or“
”Forest button
(The “AUTO” or“”indicator light on
the button will illuminate and “AUTO
DEF” will appear on the display.)
. The “Auto humidity control” function
will not operate if the fan speed or a
vent outlet is manually adjusted.
(“AUTO DEF” will disappear from the
display.)
. When auto humidity control is turned
off while the Forest Air
®system is on,
turn off and on the Forest Air®system,
the auto humidity control will activate
again.

between the outside air circulation and air
recirculation modes.
Select the “Outside/Inside Air Mix” key
and use “
”or “”key to adjust
priority.
Greater priority will be given to the air
recirculation mode when the indicator is
closer to “

circulation mode when the indicator is
closer to “
”.
Auto Defogging Sensitivity:
This item allows the user to set the timing
of the automatic defogging activation
function.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Radio
Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the radio band select
button to turn on the radio. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the
ignition switch should be pushed to the
ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station
signal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception:
Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finestequipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-
ing many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off
objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
