2018 INFINITI QX60 Owners Manual

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 the 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 defogger mode (the indicator light on
the
front defogger button is turned
off).
∙ The outside temperature is about 0°C (32°F) 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.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 rear
window 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 20 cm (8 in) 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.
