PREDICTED COURSE LINES
WARNING
•If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course line may
not be displayed correctly.
•On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
•The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rear view
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.
•If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may be displayed incorrectly. If this
occurs, please perform the following
procedures: – Turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock while the engine is running.
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road
for more than 5 minutes.
•When the steering wheel is turned with
the ignition switch in the ACC position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
The vehicle width and predicted course lines
are wider than the actual width and course.
1. Visually check that the parking space issafe before parking your vehicle.

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 un-
knowingly activate switches or controls
and inadvertently become involved in a
serious accident and injure themselves.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures 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 condi-
tioning controls while driving so that full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when
the engine is running. The air blower will op-
erate even if the engine is turned off and the
ignition switch is in the ON position. NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condi-
tioning unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are there-
fore normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise 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 dehumidifi-
cation function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting func-
tion briefly, if required. The air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity of the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate 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 dur-
ing 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 par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. With automatic climate
control, gaseous pollutants and odors will
also be reduced. A clogged filter reduces
the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason, you should always
observe the interval for replacing the filter,
which is specified in the Service Booklet.
As this depends on environmental condi-
tions, for example heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Service Booklet.

Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the ve-
hicle will not be cooled. The air inside the
vehicle will also not be dehumidified. The
windows can mist up more quickly. There-
fore, only deactivate the "Cooling with air
dehumidification" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning. The air inside the vehicle is cooled and
dehumidified 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 mal-
function.
To activate:
Press the
button The indicator light in
thebutton lights up.
To deactivate:
Press the

air dehumidification function has a delayed
switch-off feature. Problems with the "Cooling with air dehu-
midification" function:
Problem:
The indicator light in the
but-
ton flashes three times or remains off. The
cooling with air dehumidification function
cannot be activated.
Cause and solution: The cooling with air de-
humidification 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.
