AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE REAR
VIEW MIRROR
The inside mirror is designed so that it auto-
matically dims according to the intensity of the
headlights of the vehicle following you. The
automatic anti-glare feature operates only
when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
It will not operate if reverse gear is engaged or
if the interior lighting is switched on.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
The driver's-side outside mirror is designed so
that it automatically dims according to the in-
tensity of the headlights of the vehicle follow-
ing you. The automatic anti-glare feature op-
erates only when the ignition switch is in the
ON position. It will not operate if reverse gear
is engaged or if the interior lighting is switched
on.SIC2872

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
during warm weather. This will speed up
the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior 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 al-
ways observe the interval for replacing
the filter, which is specified in the Service
Booklet. As this depends on environmen-
tal conditions, for example heavy air pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Service Booklet.

desired position (except position0)
•Set the temperature to 70° F (22° C)
•Recommendation for avoiding misted
windows at low exterior temperatures or
in rain: switch on the
cooling with
dehumidification function. Set air distri-
bution to
and if possible switch
offand. Deactivate air-
recirculation mode.
Set airflow control
5to a setting be-
tween 3 and 6.
•Recommendation for rapid cooling or
heating of the vehicle interior: briefly set
airflow control
5to a setting between 3
and 6.
•Recommendation for a constant vehicle
interior temperature: set airflow control
5to a setting between 1 and 3.

The Idle Stop/Start function switches the
engine off automatically if the vehicle is
stopped under certain conditions.

in green in the vehicle information display,
the Idle Stop/Start function switches the
engine off automatically once the vehicle
stops moving.
The Idle Stop/Start function is automatically
activated each time you start the engine with
the ignition switch.
If the Idle Stop/Start function has been manu-
ally deactivated (see"Deactivating/activating
the Idle Stop/Start function" later in this sec-
tion) or a malfunction has caused the system
to be deactivated, the
Idle Stop/Start
symbol is not displayed.

and theIdle Stop/Start symbol is dis-
played in green in the vehicle information dis-
play, if:

button is lit green.
•The outside temperature is within the
range that is suitable for the system.
•The engine is at normal operating tem-
perature.
•The set temperature for the vehicle interior
has been reached.
•The battery is sufficiently charged.
•The system detects that the windshield is
not misted up when the air-conditioning

All of the vehicle's systems remain active when
the engine is switched off automatically.
The engine can be switched off automatically
a maximum of four times (initial stop, then
three subsequent stops) in succession. The
Idle Stop/Start symbol is shown in yel-
low in the vehicle information display after
the engine has been started automatically
for the fourth time. When the
Idle
Stop/Start symbol is shown in green in the
vehicle information display, automatic engine
switch-off is again possible.
NOTE
If the hood is opened while the engine is run-
ning and the Idle Stop/Start function is op-
erational, the engine will switch off auto-
matically.
If the vehicle is brought to a standstill in D or
N, the Idle Stop/Start function switches off
the engine automatically.
AUTOMATIC ENGINE START
The engine is started automatically if:
•You switch off the Idle Stop/Start function
by pressing the Idle Stop/Start button.
•You engage Reverse R or Drive D.
•You unfasten your seat belt or open the
driver's door.
•The vehicle starts to roll.
•The brake system requires this.
•The temperature in the vehicle interior de-
viates from the set range.
•The system detects moisture on the wind-
shield when the air-conditioning system is
switched on.
•The battery's charge status is too low.
The engine is started automatically if you:
•Release the brake pedal in transmission
position D (Drive) or N (Neutral).
•Depress the accelerator pedal.
•Move the transmission out of position P
(Park).
Shifting the transmission to position P (Park)
does not start the engine.

shift the transmission from R (Reverse)
to D (Drive), the Idle Stop/Start function is
available again once the
Idle Stop/Start
symbol reappears in green in the vehicle infor-
mation display.

WARNING
•The sonar function is a convenience but
it is not a substitute for proper parking.
Always look around and check that it is
safe to do so before parking. Always
move slowly.
•Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar function as contained in this
section. Inclement weather may affect
the function of the sonar function; this
may include reduced performance or a
false activation.
•The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
•The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects that are too close to the bumper
or on the ground.
•Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
CAUTION
•Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet
as possible to hear the tone clearly.
•Keep the sensors (located on the bumper
fascia) free from snow, ice and large ac-
cumulations of dirt. Do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects. If the sen-
sors are covered, the accuracy of the
sensor function will be diminished.
WARNING
INFINITI recommends only to use frame-
less type license plate holders.
