The sensorsandon the instrument
panel helps maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around the
sensors.
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.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTE-
NANCE
Brake lines and cables:
Visually inspect for proper installation.
Check for chafing, cracks, deterioration,
and signs of leaking. Replace any deterio-
rated or damaged parts immediately.
Brake pads, rotors, drums and linings:
Check for wear, deterioration and fluid
leaks. Replace any deteriorated or damaged
parts immediately.
Exhaust system:
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler
and hangers for leaks, cracks, deterioration,
and damage. Tighten connections or replace
parts as necessary.
In-cabin microfilter:
Replace at specified intervals. When driving
for prolonged periods in dusty conditions,
replace the filter more frequently.
Propeller shaft(s):
Check for damage, looseness, and grease
leakage. (4WD/AWD/RWD)
Steering gear and linkage, axle and suspen-
sion parts, drive shaft boots:
Check for damage, looseness, and leakage
of oil or grease. Under severe driving condi-
tions, inspect more frequently.Tire rotation:
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles
(8,000 km) according to the instructions
under “Explanation of maintenance items”
(P.9-2). When rotating tires, check for
damage and uneven wear. Replace if neces-
sary.
Transmission fluid/oil and differential oil:
Visually inspect for signs of leakage at
specified intervals.
To help ensure smooth, safe and economical
driving, INFINITI provides two maintenance
schedules that may be used, depending upon
the conditions in which you usually drive.
These schedules contain both distance and
time intervals, up to 120,000 miles
(192,000 km)/144 months. For most peo-
ple, the odometer reading will indicate when
service is needed. However, if you drive very
little, your vehicle should be serviced at the
regular time intervals shown in the schedule.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144
months, continue maintenance at the same
mileage/time intervals.
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE
ITEMS FOR SEVERE OPERATING
CONDITIONS
Additional maintenance items for severe
operating conditions;
should be performed
on vehicles that are driven under especially
demanding conditions. Additional mainte-
nance items should be performed if you
primarily operate your vehicle under the
following conditions:
. Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles
(8 km).
. Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles
(16 km) with outside temperatures re-
maining below freezing.

NOTE:
Maintenance items with “$ ” should be
performed more frequently according to
“Maintenance under severe driving condi-
tions” (P.9-12).
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required.
(2) If using a car-top carrier, or driving on
rough or muddy roads, change (not just
inspect) oil at every 20,000 miles (32,000
km) or 24 months. (3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under “General
maintenance” (P.9-2).
