window, be careful not to scratch or damage
the rear window defroster.
•When operating the defroster continuously,
be sure to start the engine. Otherwise, it
may cause the battery to discharge.
•When cleaning the inner side of the window,
be careful not to scratch or damage the elec-
trical conductors on the surface of the
window.The windshield de-icer switch (defogger switch)
Aoperates when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
You can use this function to defrost the wind-
shield or to demist the inside of the windshield
and the side windows
NOTE

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.

listed below:
•Switch on the air-conditioning system by
turning control knob
5clockwise to the
desired position (except position 0)
•Set the temperature to 70oF (22oC)
•Recommendation for avoiding misted win-
dows at low exterior temperatures or in rain:
switch on the
cooling with dehumidi-
fication function. Set air distribution to
and if possible switch offand. Deactivate air-recirculation mode.
Set airflow control
5to a setting between 3
and 6.
•Recommendation for rapid cooling or heating
of the vehicle interior: briefly set airflow
control
5to a setting between 3 and 6.
•Recommendation for a constant vehicle inte-
rior temperature: set airflow control
5to a
setting between 1 and 3.
•Recommendation for air distribution in win-
ter: select theandsettings.

Recommendation for air distribution in sum-
mer: select theorandsettings.
•Only use theWindshield demisting function
briefly until the windshield is clear again
•Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e. g if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when
in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise
mist up as no fresh air is drawn into the
vehicle in air-recirculation mode
•If you change the settings of the climate
control system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the central
display (see separate operating instruc-
tions). You will see the current settings of the
various climate control functions.
Switching air-conditioning system
on/off
Make sure the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
To switch on: turn control
5clockwise to the
desired position (except position 0).
To switch off: turn control
5counter-clockwise
to position 0.
Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
If you deactivate the Cooling with air dehumidi-
fication function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will
also not be dehumidified. The windows can mist
up more quickly. Therefore, only deactivate the
Cooling with air dehumidification function
briefly.
The Cooling with air dehumidification function
is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.
To activate
:
Press thebutton The indicator lamp in
thebutton lights up.
To deactivate
:
Press thebutton. The indicator lamp in
thebutton goes out. The cooling with air
dehumidification function has a delayed switch-
off feature. Problems with the
Cooling with air dehumidifi-
cation function
:
Problem: The indicator lamp in thebutton flashes three times or remains off. The
cooling with air dehumidification function can-
not be activated.
Cause and solution: The cooling with air dehu-
midification function has been deactivated due
to a malfunction. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
Setting the temperature
You can set the temperature for the entire
vehicle. The set temperature is automatically
maintained at a constant level.
To increase or reduce the temperature: turn
control
1counterclockwise or clockwise. Only
change the temperature setting in small incre-
ments. Start at 70
oF (22oC).
Setting the air distribution
Directs the airflow through the demister ventilators.
Directs the airflow through the center
and side air ventilators.
Directs the airflow through the footwell
air ventilators.
