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.
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 finest

. Do not connect a USB device if a
connector, cable or USB port is wet.
Allow the connector, cable, and USB
port to dry completely before connect-
ing the USB device. (Wait for 24 hours
or more until it is dry.) If the connector
and USB port are exposed to fluids
other than water, evaporative residue
may cause a short circuit between the
connector pins and USB port. In this
case, replace the cable and USB port.
Otherwise damage to the USB device
and a loss of function may occur.
. If the cable is damaged (insulation cut,
connectors cracked, contamination
such as liquids, dust, dirt, etc. in the
connectors), do not use the cable.
Replace the cable with a new one.
. Do not put a USB device in a location
where static electricity occurs, electrical
noise is generated or hot air from the
air conditioner blows directly on it.
Doing so may cause the data stored on
the USB device to be corrupted. Notes for iPod®use:

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC/ATRAC3)
Explanation of terms:
.
MP3 —MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is
the most well known compressed
digital audio file format. This format
allows for near “CD quality”sound, but
at a fraction of the size of normal audio
files. MP3 conversion of an audio track
can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually
no perceptible loss in quality. The
compression reduces certain parts of
sound that seem inaudible to most
people.
. WMA —Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when
compared to MP3s at the same level
of quality.
