Automatic operation
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating
(AUTO):
This mode may be used all year round. The
system works automatically to control the
inside temperature, air flow distribution and
fan speed after the preferred temperature is
set manually.

partment will be maintained automati-

cally. Air flow distribution and fan speed
will also be controlled automatically.
3. To turn off the climate control system, push the “OFF” button.
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. Push the front defroster “
” button.
(The indicator light on the button will
come on.)
2. Push the temperature control button (driver side) to set the desired tempera-
ture.
The temperature of the passenger com-
partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution and fan speed
will also be controlled automatically.
3. To turn off the climate control system, push the “OFF” button.
. To quickly remove ice from the outside of
the windows, push the fan speed in-
crease “
” button and set it to the
maximum position.
. As soon as possible after the windshield
is clean, push the “AUTO” button to
return to the auto mode.
. When the front defroster “
” button is
pushed, the air conditioner will automa- tically be turned on at outside tempera-
tures above 23°F (−5°C) to defog the
windshield, and the air recirculate mode
will automatically be turned off.
Outside air is drawn into the passenger
compartment to improve the defogging
performance.
Manual operation

ing air is recirculated inside the vehicle.
The air recirculation mode cannot be
activated when the air conditioner is in
the front defrosting mode “
”.
. Push the outside air circulation “
”
button to change the air circulation
mode. When the indicator light illumi-
nates, the flowing air is drawn from outside the vehicle.
. To control the air intake automatically,

Available items:
.
Touch to change the air flow mode.
When the DUAL mode (passenger sidetemperature control) is on, the “
”
icons for both driver’s and passenger’s
seat are displayed and can change the air
flow mode independently.
. -
/+
Touch to change the fan speed of the air
from the ventilators.
. A/C
Touch to turn the air conditioner on/off.
. DUAL
Touch to turn the DUAL mode (passen-
ger side temperature control) on/off.
. Upper Vent
Touch to turn the upper vent system on/
off.
Automatic upper ventilator system:
In this mode, air from the center ventilators
flows both straight and upward in order to
control the cabin temperature without blow-
ing air directly on the occupants.
1. Push the “CLIMATE” button with the climate control system turned on to
display the Climate screen.
2. Select the “Upper Vent” key, and the indicator on the screen will illuminate.
The air flow against the driver’s or
passenger’s upper body becomes gentle.
. Distribution between straight and up-
ward flows is determined automatically
by the climate control system. If you prefer strong air flow against your upper
body, select the “Upper Vent” key to turn
the indicator light off.
. When the outside temperature decreases
to approximately 14°F (−10°C), the
“Upper Vent” function does not activate.
The “Upper Vent” function reactivates
automatically when ambient tempera-
ture is 14°F (−10°C) or more.
OPERATING TIPS
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.

LINKING INTELLIGENT KEY
The Climate control system settings can be
memorized for each Intelligent Key. For
more details, see “Setting memory function”
(P.3-29).
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control 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 your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to your
climate control system. (See “Capacities and
recommended fluids/lubricants” (P.10-2)
for climate control system refrigerant and
lubricant recommendations.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate control
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.
In-cabin microfilter
The climate control system is equipped with
a natural grape seed polyphenol filter which
collects and neutralizes dirt, pollen, dust,
allergens (such as cedar pollen, tick shells)
etc. To make sure that the air conditioner
heats, defogs and ventilates efficiently, re-
place the filter in accordance with the
specified maintenance intervals listed in the
“9. Maintenance and schedules” section. It is
recommended to see an INFINITI retailer to
replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.

WINDOW ANTENNA
The antenna pattern is printed inside the
rear window.
CAUTION
.Do not place metalized film near the
rear window glass or attach any
metal parts to it. This may cause poor
reception or noise.
. When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the rear window antenna.
Lightly wipe along the antenna with
a dampened soft cloth.
SATELLITE ANTENNA
There is a satellite antenna on the rear part
of the vehicle roof.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception. When installing a car phone or a CB radio in
your vehicle, be sure to observe the follow-
ing cautions, otherwise the new equipment
may adversely affect the electronic control
modules and electronic control system har-
ness.
WARNING
.
A cellular phone should not be used
for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation. Some jurisdictions prohibit
the use of cellular phones while
driving.
. If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-free
cellular phone operational mode (if so
equipped) is highly recommended.
Exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
. If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
.Keep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic control
modules.
. Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harness. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.
. Adjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.
. Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.
. For details, it is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer.
