2018 INFINITI QX30 air condition

CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil may
cause severe damage to the air condition-
ing system and will require the replacement
of all air conditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehicle will
not harm the Earth’s ozone layer. However, it
may contribute in a small part to the global
warming effect.
Certain government regulations require the
recovery and recycling of any refrigerant dur-
ing automotive air conditioner system ser-
vice. An INFINITI retailer has the trained
technicians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioner system re-
frigerant.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer when servicing your air conditioner
system.

10-12Technical information

For Canada:
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately in-
form Transport Canada in addition to notify-
ing INFINITI.
If Transport Canada receives complaints, it
may open an investigation, and if it finds that
a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may request that INFINITI conduct a recall
campaign. However, Transport Canada can-
not become involved in individual problems
between you, your retailer, or INFINITI.
You may contact Transport Canada’s Defect
Investigations and Recalls Division toll free at
1-800-333- 0510. You may also report
safety defects online at:
https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec- Sur/7/
PCDB-BDPP/Index.aspx.
Additional information concerning motor ve-
hicle safety may be obtained from Transport
Canada’s Road Safety Information Center at
1-800-333- 0371 or online at
www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety (English speakers)
or www.tc.gc.ca/securiteroutiere (French
speakers).
To notify INFINITI of any safety concerns
please contact our Consumer Information
Center toll free at 1-800- 361-4792.WARNING
A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) should never be tested using a two
wheel dynamometer (such as the dyna-
mometers used by some states for emis-
sions testing), or similar equipment. Make
sure you inform test facility personnel that
your vehicle is equipped with AWD before
it is placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in trans-
mission damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.
Due to legal requirements in some states and
Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may be re-
quired to be in what is called the “ready con-
dition” for an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
test of the emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”
when it is driven through certain driving pat-
terns. Usually, the “ready condition” can be
obtained by ordinary usage of the vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is repaired
or the battery is disconnected, the vehicle
may be reset to a “not ready condition”. Be-
fore taking the I/M test, check the vehicle’s
inspection/maintenance test readiness con-
dition. Place the ignition switch in the ON
position without starting the engine. If the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) comes on
steady for 20 seconds and then blinks for 10
seconds, the I/M test condition is “not ready”.
If the MIL does not blink after 20 seconds,
the I/M test condition is “ready”.
It is recommended you contact an INFINITI
retailer to set the “ready condition” or to pre-
pare the vehicle for testing.
READINESS FOR INSPECTION/
MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST
Technical information10-19

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were
operating.
•Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened.
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
•Sounds are not recorded.
This data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your ve-
hicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under nor-
mal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gender, age and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash inves-
tigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required and access to the ve-
hicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer and INFINITI retailer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can read the in-
formation if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR. EDR data will only be accessed with
the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee or
as otherwise required or permitted by law.
