MATION
INFINITI InTouchTMuses an operating sys-
tem like those found on many computers,
tablets and cell phones. Like these devices,
processing speed may vary, and system
response delays or resets may occur inter-
mittently. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion, and further information on system
operation can be found below.
SYSTEM START-UP
Due to the large number of features and
capabilities that the INFINITI InTouchTM
system needs to load on start-up, it may
take up to a minute for all functions (such as
Apps) to be available. The system will display
“Now Loading All Apps...” during this time.
During the start-up period, hard button
controls for audio and climate will become
available before start-up is complete. Fea-
tures will become available in the following
order:
. Climate Control hard buttons
. Audio volume and music playback
. Audio & Climate Full Screen Access .
Full App Availability - System will display
“Loading Completed”
SYSTEM RESPONSE DELAY
INFINITI InTouchTMuses an operating sys-
tem like those found on many computers,
tablets and cell phones. Like these devices,
sometimes programs do not respond imme-
diately and this may temporarily delay
system use.
In most situations, simply waiting a few
moments longer should be sufficient for the
pending operations to complete.
If the system temporarily does not respond
to commands, the system can be easily reset.
Simply push down the Audio Power knob for
at least 5 seconds. The system will turn off
and restart.
After restart, all functions should be avail-
able.
. Audio will resume, but if you were using
Bluetooth® Audio or an Audio App, the
connection may need to be re-estab-
lished.
. If a navigation route was set, the route
should resume automatically.
. If a phone call was in progress, the call
may be temporarily transferred back to

HEATER AND AIR CONDI-
TIONER OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
WARNING
.The heater and the air conditioner
operates only when the engine is
running.
. Never leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. On
hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.
. 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
conditioning controls while driving so
that full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. .
Turn off the system when the engine
is not running to prevent battery
discharge.
INFO:
. Odors from inside and outside the vehi-
cle 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
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.
. Vehicles with an automatic climate con-
trol system will automatically adjust the
passenger compartment to be the set
appropriate temperature when the re-
mote engine start feature (if so
equipped) is used.
For models with Idling Stop System (if so
equipped)
The Idling Stop System will not stop the
engine under the following conditions: .
The front defroster mode is on.
. The rear window defroster mode is on.
While the engine is stopped by the Idling
Stop System, taking one of the following
actions will automatically start the engine: . Turn the front defroster mode on.
. Turn the rear window defroster mode
on.
When the engine is stopped by the Idling
Stop System, performance of the heater and
air conditioner may be reduced to minimize
fuel consumption. For the best heating and
air conditioning performance, turn on the
[Use A/C While Idle] setting.
