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

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.)

Ion control
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster®ion into the air blown from
the ventilators and reduces odor absorbed
into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ion auto-
matically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ion in-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “
”.

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.

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.

5-6Starting and driving
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury. Check
the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while driving
after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire
may be flat. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible. (See“Flat tire” (P.6-3) for
changing a flat tire.)
. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting. .
Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
. Do not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.
This may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
.Facilities or electric devices using simi-
lar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle. .
If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies is being used in or near the
vehicle.
. If a computer (or similar equipment) or
a DC/AC converter is being used in or
near the vehicle.

The BSW system uses radar sensors*1installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent lane. In addition to the radar
sensors, the BSI system uses a camera
*2installed behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane.
SSD1030
Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated. This
detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detects vehicles in the detection
zone, the BSW/BSI indicator light illumi-
nates. If the driver then activates the turn
signal, a chime will sound twice and the
BSW/BSI indicator light will flash. The BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 km/h). If the system
detects a vehicle in the detection zone and
your vehicle is approaching the lane
marker, the BSI system provides an audi-
ble warning (three times), flashes the
BSW/BSI indicator light and slightly ap-
plies the brakes for a short period of time
on one side to help return the vehicle back
to the traveling lane. The BSI system
provides an audible warning and turns on
or flashes the BSW/BSI indicator light even
if the BSW system is off.WARNING
.
The BSW and BSI systems are not a
replacement for proper driving procedure
and are not designed to prevent contact
with vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direc-
tion you will move to ensure it is safe to
change lanes. Never rely solely on the
BSW or BSI system.
. Using the BSI system under some road,
lane marker or weather conditions could
lead to improper system operation. Al-
ways rely on your own steering and

braking operation to avoid accidents.
. The BSW and BSI systems may not
provide a warning or brake control for
vehicles that pass through the detection
zone quickly.
SSD1028
BSW/BSI indicator light
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. If the turn signal is then activated,
the BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and a
chime sounds twice. The indicator light
continues to flash until the detected
vehicles leave the detection zone.
The BSW/BSI indicator lights illuminate for
a few seconds when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position.
The brightness of the BSW/BSI indicator
lights is adjusted automatically depending on the brightness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes
into the detection zone after the driver
activates the turn signal, then only the
BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. (See
“BSW/BSI driving
situations” (P.5-39).)

Dynamic driver assistance switch
BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. If your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker, the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and an audible warning will sound
three times. Then the system applies the
brakes on one side of the vehicle for a
short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.NOTE:
.
Warning and system application of the
brakes will only be activated if the
BSW/BSI indicator light is already
illuminated when your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker. If another
vehicle comes into the detection zone
after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no warning or brake applica-
tion will be activated. (See “BSW/BSI
driving situations” (P.5-39).)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Pre-
vention (LDP) system when your vehi-
cle is approaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering
wheel is pushed when the “Blind Spot
Intervention” is enabled in the settings
menu on the center display. The BSI ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the BSI system is
turned on.
The BSI system provides an audible warn-
ing and flashes the indicator light when
BSI system is activated even if the BSW
system is off.
