2019 INFINITI QX60 Owner's Manual

∙ When the climate system is in automaticoperation and the engine coolant tem-
perature and outside air temperature are
low, the air flow outlet may default to
defroster mode for a maximum of 2 min-
utes 30 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion. After the engine coolant tempera-
ture warms up, the air flow outlet will
return to foot mode and operation will
continue normally.
∙ When the outside and interior cabin tem- peratures are moderate to high, the in-
take setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may notice
air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode, or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may occur
when the previous climate setting was
turned off. This is not a malfunction. Af-
ter the initial warm air is expelled, the
intake will return to automatic control,
the air flow outlet will return to previous
settings, and operation will continue nor-
mally. To exit, press any climate control
button. ∙ Keep the moonroof closed while the air
conditioner is in operation.
∙ If you feel that the air flow mode you have selected and the outlets the air is
coming out do not match, select the
mode.
∙ When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the feet vents for
just a moment. This is not a malfunction.

key on the screen to turn A/C off.
3. Press the temperature control button to set the desired temperature.
∙ The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution and fan speed
are also controlled automatically.
∙ Do not set the temperature lower than the outside air temperature or the system
may not work properly.
∙ This procedure is not recommended if windows fog up.
When the outside temperature decreases to
approximately 32°F (0°C), the A/C function
does not activate even if the “A/C” indicator
light illuminates.

the rear from SYNC, change any of the
rear climate settings.
Automatic Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Automatic Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using
the automatic air recirculation control with
the exhaust gas/outside odor detecting sen-
sor with ion control. 1. Plasmacluster® icon
Indicates the Plasmacluster® ion emission
status. 2. Auto Recirc key
Touch to turn on the automatic recirculation
mode.
LHA4928
4-48Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

Ion control (if so equipped)
The Automatic Climate Control System unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter® ions into the air blown from the ventila-
tors to reduce odor absorbed into the interior
trim and to suppress airborne bacteria. The
high-density Plasmacluster®ions also have a
proven skin moisture preserving effect.
The Plasmacluster® icon on the Climate
screen indicates the status of the Plasma-
cluster® ion emission from the system and
changes with the amount of the air flow.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor
(if so equipped)
The Automatic Climate Control System
comes with an exhaust gas
detection/outside odor sensor. When the au-
tomatic air circulation control is activated, the
sensor detects odors outside the vehicle such
as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust such as
gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gases
are detected the display and the system au-
tomatically change from fresh air mode to the
recirculation mode.When the automatic air recirculation is on, for
the first 5 minutes, the air recirculation mode
is selected to prevent dust, dirt, and pollen
from entering the vehicle and to clean the air
inside of the vehicle.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between
the air recirculation mode and the fresh air
mode.
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
∙ 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.

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 1st row beneath the instrument panel,
in the 2nd row on the back of the center
console (if so equipped) and in the 3rd row
above the cup holders. These ports will
charge compatible devices.
NOTE:
The USB/iPod® charging ports will not op-
erate with the display screen. Only the USB
connection port located inside 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.
