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 the Remote Engine Start feature is
used:
∙ Vehicles with a manual climate control system (if so equipped) will default to the
last used heating or cooling mode. ∙ Vehicles with an automatic climate con-
trol system (if so equipped) will default to
either heating or cooling mode. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Remote En-
gine Start with Intelligent Climate Con-
trol” in the “Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systems”
section of this manual.
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
of the Intelligent Key transmitter. For addi-
tional information, refer to “INFINITI Intelli-
gent Key” in this section.

WARNING
To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, including entrapment in win-
dows or inadvertent door lock activation,
do not leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.Type A (if so equipped)

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-19
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.
NOTE:∙ Odors from inside and outside the ve-
hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger com-
partment through the vents.
∙ When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air recir-
culation to allow fresh air into the pas-
senger 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 75°F (24°C) 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 defrosting or
defogging
1. Press thefront defroster 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 defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will auto-
matically be turned on at outside tem-
peratures above 36°F (2°C). The air recir-
culate mode automatically turns off,
allowing outside air to be drawn into the
passenger compartment to further im-
prove 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 defrosting mode, the rear win-
dow defroster and heated steering wheel (if
so equipped) may be activated automatically.
