ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the automatic air circulation control
with the exhaust gas/outside odor detecting
sensor and with ion control.
[Auto Recirc]:
Touch to turn on the automatic air
recirculation mode.
Plasmacluster® icon:
Indicates the Plasmacluster® ion emis-
sion status.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
The Advanced Climate Control system
comes with an exhaust gas detection/out-
side odor sensor. When the automatic air
circulation control is activated, the sensor
detects odors outside the vehicle such as
pulp or chemicals, and exhaust gas such as
gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gases
are detected, the display and the system
automatically change from the fresh air
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the automatic air circulation control
mode is on, for the first 5 minutes, the air
recirculation mode is selected to prevent
dust, dirt and pollen from entering the
vehicle and to clean the air inside of the
vehicle.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between
the air recirculation mode and the fresh air
mode.INFO:
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions. . The air flow control is not in the
windshield defrosting mode (the indica-

tor light on<>is turned off).
. The outside temperature is approxi-
mately 32 °F (0 °C) or above.
Ion control:
The Advanced Climate Control system unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter® ions into the air blown from the
ventilators to reduce odor absorbed into
the interior trim and to suppress airborne
bacteria. The high-density Plasmacluster®
ions also have a proven skin moisture
preserving effect.
The Plasmacluster® icon on the CLIMATE
screen indicates the status of the Plas-
macluster® ion emission from the system
and changes with the amount of the air flow.OPERATING TIPS
. The sensorsandon the instrument
panel helps maintain a constant tem-
perature. Do not put anything on or
around these sensors.
. 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 normally from the foot outlets.
. 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.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
With Advanced Climate Control system:
The Climate Control system is equipped with
a natural grape seed polyphenol filter that
collects and neutralizes dirt, pollen, dust,
allergens (such as pollen, tick shells), etc. To
make sure that the air conditioner heats,
defogs and ventilates efficiently, replace the
filter in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the vehicle Owner’s Manual. To
replace the filter, it is recommended you visit
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.

Without Advanced Climate Control system:
The Climate Control system is equipped with
an in-cabin microfilter that collects dirt,
pollen, dust, etc. To make sure that the air
conditioner heats, defogs and ventilates
efficiently, replace the filter in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in the vehicle
Owner’s Manual. To replace the filter, it is
recommended you visit 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.
SERVICING HEATER AND AIR
CONDITIONER
The heating and air conditioning 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. However, special charging equipment
and lubricant are required when servicing the
air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your Climate Control system. Refer to the
vehicle Owner’s Manual for heating and air
conditioning system refrigerant and lubri-
cant recommendations.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer to service your environmentally
friendly heater and air conditioning 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.
REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDE
MIRROR DEFROSTER
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the rear window defroster.
To defog/defrost the rear window glass and
outside mirrors, start the engine or the
hybrid system and push <
>. The indicator
light on the button will illuminate. Push the
button again to turn off the defroster.

TIONS
RADIO
Push the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position before turning on the radio. If
you listen to the radio with the engine or the
hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be pushed to the “ACC”
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
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 radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance 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 equip-
ment 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,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your 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.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
