WARNING
.The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the INFINITI Direct
Response Hybrid
®System is running.
. Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
Start the hybrid system and operate the
automatic climate control system.

Models without navigation system When the
“STATUS”button is pushed, the
automatic climate control status screen
will appear. (See “How to use STATUS
button” (P.4-10).)
You can individually set the driver and front
passenger side temperature using each
temperature control button.
NOTE:
. Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the passen-
ger compartment through the vents.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into
the passenger compartment. This
should help reduce odors inside the
vehicle.
