WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and in-
jure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures 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.
•Do not adjust the heating and air condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate
even if the engine is turned off and the ignition
switch is in the ON position. NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the ventilators.
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.
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up. To prevent the windows from misting
up
•Switch off climate control only briefly.
•Switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly.
•Switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting function
briefly, if required. The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control regulates the temperature and the hu-
midity of the vehicle interior and filters unde-
sirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control can only be operated when the engine is
running. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows closed.
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear. Otherwise the vehicle will
not be ventilated correctly.
NOTE
•Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
•The integrated filter filters out most particles
of dust and soot and completely filters out
pollen. With automatic climate control, gas-
eous pollutants and odors will also be re-
duced. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this
reason, you should always observe the inter-
val for replacing the filter, which is specified
in the Service Booklet. As this depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Service Booklet.
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER

If you activate air-recirculation mode, the win-
dows can mist up more quickly, in particular at
low temperatures. Only use air recirculation
mode briefly to prevent the windows misting
up.
Activating air recirculation mode
:
Make sure the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
Press the
button. The indicator light in
thebutton lights up.
Air-recirculation mode is activated automati-
cally at high outside temperatures or high

is activated automatically, the indicator light in
the
button is not lit. Outside air is added
after about 30 minutes.
Deactivating air recirculation mode
:
Press thebutton. The indicator light in
thebutton goes out.
NOTE
Air-recirculation mode is deactivated automati-
cally:
•After approximately five minutes at outside
temperatures below approximately 45oF
(7oC).
•After approximately five minutes if the Cool-
ing with air dehumidification function is
deactivated.
•After approximately 30 minutes at outside
temperatures above approximately 45oF
(7oC) if the cooling with air dehumidification
function is activated.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refriger-
ant under high pressure. To avoid personal in-
jury, any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician with
the proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your vehicle’s air con-
ditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (See Air conditioner sys-tem refrigerant and oil recommendations
in the
9. Maintenance and Schedules section.)
An INFINITI retailer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
Air conditioner filter
The air conditioner system is equipped with an
air conditioner filter. To make sure the air
conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter in accordance with the
specified maintenance intervals listed in the
separate maintenance booklet. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air condi-
tioner.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
•The driver must not attempt to operate the
audio system while the vehicle is in motion,
so that full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
•Park the vehicle in a safe location and apply
the parking brake before operating the au-
dio system and playing movies (if
equipped).
CAUTION
•Operate the audio system only when the
vehicle engine is running. Operating the au-
dio system for extended periods of time
with the engine turned off can discharge the
vehicle battery.
•Do not allow the system to get wet. Exces-
sive moisture such as spilled liquids may
cause the system to malfunction.
Radio
Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio when the engine is not
running, the ignition switch should be pushed
to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality are normally caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle may
influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the-
art electronic circuits to enhance radio recep-
tion. These circuits are designed to extend
reception range, and to enhance the quality of
that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle,
even when the best quality equipment is used.
These characteristics are completely normal in
a given reception area, and do not indicate any
malfunction in your radio system.Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, ter-
rain, signal distance and interference from
other vehicles can adversely affect ideal recep-
tion. Described below are some of the factors
that can affect 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.
