Ion control (if so equipped)
This unit generates highly concentrated Plas-
macluster® ions into the air blown from the
vents and reduces odor absorbed into the
interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster® ions auto-
matically.The amount of Plasmacluster® ions in-
creases according to the amount of air flow.
When the air flow is high,
is displayed
on the screen and when the air flow is low,
the indication in the screen changes to
.
Plasmacluster® and Plasmacluster® ion are
registered trademarks of Sharp Corporation.
Exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor
(if so equipped)
This vehicle may be equipped with an exhaust
gas detection sensor. When the automatic
intake air control is ON, the sensor detects
industry odors such as pulp or chemicals, and
exhaust gas such as gasoline or diesel. When
such odors or gas are detected, the system
automatically changes from the outside air
circulation mode to the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is pressed
under the following conditions, the indicator
light on the
button will illuminate and
the exhaust gas detection sensor will turn on.
∙ The air flow control is not in the front defroster mode (the indicator light on
the
front defroster button is turned
off).
∙ The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C) or more. When the automatic intake air control is ON,
for the first 5 minutes, the recirculation mode
is selected to prevent dust, dirt and pollen
from entering the vehicle and cleans the air
inside of the vehicle with positive and nega-
tive ions that are emitted from the vent.
After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects ex-
haust gas and automatically alternates be-
tween the recirculation mode and outside air
circulation mode.

The air conditioner system in your INFINITI
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is
required when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to your
air conditioner system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Air conditioner system re-
frigerant and oil recommendations” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for servicing your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment.There are USB/iPod® charging ports located
in the 2nd row on the back of the center
console and in the 3rd row located above the
cup holders. These ports will charge compat-
ible devices.
NOTE:
The USB/iPod® charging ports will not op-
erate with the display screen or the Mobile
Entertainment System (MES) (if so
equipped). Only the USB connection port lo-
cated in the console box will operate
USB/iPod® devices.

The vehicle is equipped with a shark fin an-
tenna and an antenna pattern is printed in-
side the rear window.
CAUTION
∙ Do not place metalized film near the rearwindow glass or attach any metal parts
to it. This may cause poor reception or
noise.
∙ When cleaning the inside of the rear win- dow, be careful not to scratch or damage
the rear window antenna. Lightly wipe
along the antenna with a dampened soft
cloth. When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone
in your vehicle, be sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions; otherwise, the new equip-
ment may adversely affect the engine control
system and other electronic parts.WARNING
∙ A cellular phone should not be used for
any purpose while driving so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of cel-
lular phones while driving.
∙ If you must make a call while your vehicle is in motion, the hands free cellular phone
operational mode is highly recom-
mended. Exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
∙ If you are unable to devote full attention to vehicle operation while talking on the
phone, pull off the road to a safe location
and stop your vehicle.
CAUTION
∙ Keep the antenna as far away as possiblefrom the electronic control modules.
∙ Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in (20 cm) away from the electronic control
system harnesses. Do not route the an-
tenna wire next to any harness.
∙ Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio as recommended by the manufacturer.
∙ Connect the ground wire from the CB ra- dio chassis to the body.
∙ For additional information,, it is recom- mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for servicing.

∙The RCTA system (if so equipped) is in-
tegrated into the BSW system. There is
not a separate selection in the vehicle
information display for the RCTA sys-
tem. When the BSW is disabled, the
RCTA system is also disabled.
∙ When the BSW system is turned on, the
BSW/RCTA indicator (white) in the ve-
hicle information display illuminates.
BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSW system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The BSW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensors may not be able to de- tect and activate BSW when certain ob-
jects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles. – Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a stop.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the de- tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first vehicle
may not be detected if they are trav-
eling close together.
∙ The radar sensors’ detection zone is de- signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an ad-
jacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away. ∙ The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects; however, ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and
parked vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
∙ The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
∙ Do not attach stickers (including trans- parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar sen-
sors. These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
∙ Excessive noise (for example, audio sys- tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
Starting and driving5-41
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to thewindshield in front of a lane camera
unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is
not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane cam- era unit. (For example: light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example: when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
∙ Do not use the BSI system under the fol- lowing conditions because the system
may not function properly.
– During bad weather (for example: rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane. – When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g. tire
wear, low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, nonstandard
wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
∙ Do not use the BSI systems when towing a trailer.
∙ Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol- ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
