When the “[X]” icon is displayed on the screen,
the camera image may be receiving temporary
electronic disturbances from surrounding de-
vices. This will not hinder normal driving opera-
tion but the system should be inspected by an
INFINITI retailer if it occurs frequently.
OPERATING TIPS
CAUTION
●Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with a di-
luted mild cleaning agent and then wipe
with a dry cloth.
●Do not damage the camera as the moni-
tor screen may be adversely affected.
●The screen displayed on the Around View
Monitor will automatically return to the pre-
vious screen three minutes after the CAM-
ERA button has been pressed with the shift
lever in a position other than the R (Reverse)
position.
●When the view is switched, the display im-
ages on the screen may be displayed in
some delay.
●When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
●When strong light is directly hitting the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.●The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
●The colors of objects on the Around View
Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects. This is not a malfunction.
●Objects on the Around View Monitor may
not be clear and the color of the object may
differ in a dark environment. This is not a
malfunction.
●There may be differences in sharpness be-
tween each camera view of the bird’s-eye
view.
●If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the cam-
era, the Around View Monitor may not dis-
play objects clearly. Clean the camera.
●Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off
any wax with a clean cloth that has been
dampened with a mild detergent diluted with
water.

Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.
●Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
●When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating
(AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as the
system automatically works to keep a constant
temperature. Air flow distribution, intake air con-
trol, and fan speed are also controlled automati-
cally.
1. Press the AUTO button on. (The indicator on
the button will illuminate and AUTO will be
displayed.)
2. Operate the driver’s side temperature con-
trol buttons.
●Adjust the temperature display to about
75°F (24°C) for normal operation.●The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution, intake air control, and fan
speed are also controlled automatically.
●A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging
1. Press thefront defroster button on.
(The indicator light on the button will come
on.)
2. Operate the temperature control buttons to
set the desired temperature.
●To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, use the fan speed control dial to
set the fan speed to maximum.
●As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the automatic mode.●When the
front defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
above 36°F (2°C) . The air recirculate mode
automatically turns off, allowing outside air
to be drawn into the passenger compart-
ment to further improve the defogging per-
formance.
MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control
Press the fan control buttonsto manually
control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to return to automatic
control of the fan speed.
Temperature control
Press the temperature control buttons up or
down to set the desired temperature.
The temperature can be set within the following
range:

the air conditioner is in the
front defrosting
mode or the
front defrosting and foot out-
let mode.
Automatic intake air control
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be con-
trolled automatically. To manually control the in-
take air, press the

vents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outlets.
— Air flows from defroster and foot
outlets.
— Air flows from defroster outlets.
To turn system off
Press the OFF button.
OPERATING TIPS
●When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally.The sunload sensor, located on the top driver’s
side of the instrument panel, helps the system
maintain a constant temperature. Do not put any-
thing on or around this sensor.

Advanced Climate Control System
(ACCS) (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS)
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using the
ion control and the automatic air intake control
with exhaust gas detecting sensor.

Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated Plasma-
cluster™ ions into the air blown from the vents
and reduces odor absorbed into the interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the system
generates Plasmacluster™ ions automatically.
The amount of Plasmacluster™ ions increases
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
.
Plasmacluster™ and Plasmacluster™ ion are reg-
istered trademarks of Sharp Corporation.Exhaust gas/outside odor detection sen-
sor:
This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust gas
detection sensor. When the automatic intake air
control is ON, the sensor detects industry odors
such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust gas such
as gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gas
are detected, the system automatically changes
from the outside air circulation mode to the recir-
culation mode.
When the intake air control button is pushed
under the following conditions, the indicator light
on the
button will illuminate and the ex-
haust gas detection sensor will turn on.
●The air flow control is not in the front de-
froster mode (the indicator light on
the
front defroster button is turned
off) .
●The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C)
or more.
When the automatic intake air control is ON, for
the first 5 minutes, the recirculation mode is
selected to prevent dust, dirt and pollen from
entering the vehicle and cleans the air inside of
the vehicle with positive and negative ions that
are emitted from the vent.After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between the
recirculation mode and outside air circulation
mode.
