Thebutton will be on the INFINITI In-
telligent Key if the vehicle has Remote Engine
Start. This feature allows the engine to start
from outside the vehicle.
The following features may be affected
when Remote Engine Start is used:
∙ Vehicles with an automatic climate con- trol system will default to either a heating
or cooling mode depending on the out-
side temperature.
Laws in some local communities may restrict
the use of remote starters. For example,
some laws require a person using Remote
Engine Start to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any requirements. Other conditions may affect the function of
the Remote Engine Start feature. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Conditions the
Remote Engine Start will not work” in this
section.
Other conditions can affect the performance

REMOTE ENGINE START
OPERATING RANGE
The Remote Engine Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave sources
are present near the operating location, the
Intelligent Key operating range becomes nar-
rower, and the Intelligent Key may not func-
tion properly.
The Remote Engine Start operating range is
approximately 60 m (197 ft) from the vehicle.

function is performed again. For ex-
ample, if the engine has been running for
5 minutes, and 10 minutes are added, the
engine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
∙ Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts, or
a single start with an extension, are allowed
between ignition cycles. The ignition switch must be cycled to the ON
position and then back to the OFF position

display. For additional information, refer
to “Vehicle information display” in the “In-
struments and controls” section of this
manual.
The Remote Engine Start function may dis-

FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
∙ Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions.
You could be burned or seriously injured if
it is misused or mishandled. Always stop
the engine and do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
∙ Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off au-
tomatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
∙
Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It could
also cause the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to come on.
∙ Never pour fuel into the throttle body to attempt to start your vehicle.
∙ Do not fill a portable fuel container in the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can
cause an explosion of flammable liquid,
vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel con- tainers for flammable liquid.CAUTION
∙ If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flushit away with water to avoid paint
damage.
∙ Insert the fuel-filler cap straight into the fuel-filler tube, then tighten until the
fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tighten
the fuel-filler cap properly may cause
the
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illu-
minates because the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, tighten or install the cap
and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the
light does
not turn off after a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
∙ For additional information, refer to “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.

HOW TO PARK WITH
PREDICTED COURSE LINES
WARNING
∙ If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines may
be displayed incorrectly.
∙ On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
∙ If the battery is disconnected or becomes discharged, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly. If this oc-
curs, 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. 1. Visually check that the parking space is
safe before parking your vehicle.
2. The rear view of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
Awhen the shift lever is
moved to the R (Reverse) position. 3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting the
steering wheel so that the predicted
course lines

WARNING
∙ The air conditioner cooling function op- erates only when the engine is running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the vehicle.
Also, 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.
LHA4250
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER
(automatic)
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-33
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.
NOTE:∙ Odors from inside and outside the vehicle can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
∙ 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.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified
heating (AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as the
system automatically works to keep a con-
stant temperature. Air flow distribution, in-
take air control and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
1. Press the AUTO button on. (The indica- tor on the button will illuminate and
AUTO will be displayed.) 2. Operate the driver’s side temperature
control buttons.
∙ Adjust the temperature display to about 24°C (75°F) for normal operation.
∙ The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution, intake air con-
trol and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions as
the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
Dehumidified defogging
1. Press thefront defogger button
on. (The indicator light on the button will
come on.)
2. Operate the temperature control but- tons to set the desired temperature.
∙ To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, use the
fan speed
control buttons to set the fan speed to
maximum. ∙ As soon as possible after the windshield
is clean, press the AUTO button to return
to the automatic mode.
∙ When the
front defogger button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automatically
be turned on at outside temperatures above
2°C (36°F). The air recirculate mode auto-
matically turns off, allowing outside air to be
drawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.
Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control
(if so equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate
controls and Remote Engine Start function
may go into automatic heating or cooling
mode when Remote Engine Start is activated
depending on outside and cabin tempera-
tures. During this period, the climate control
display and buttons will be inoperable until
the ignition switch is turned on. In Remote
Engine Start defogging mode, the rear win-
dow defogger and heated steering wheel (if
so equipped) may be activated automatically.
