WARNING
.Do not adjust the display controls,
heater and air conditioner controls or
audio controls while driving so that
full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
. If you noticed any foreign objects
entering the system hardware, spilled
liquid on the system, or noticed
smoke or fumes coming out from the
system, or any other unusual opera-
tion is observed, stop using the
system immediately and contact the
nearest INFINITI retailer. Ignoring
such conditions may lead to an acci-
dent, fire or electric shock.
. Do not disassemble or modify this
system. If you do, it may lead to an
accident, fire, or electric shock.
. Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake to view
images on the touch screen display.
CAUTION
.Do not use the system when the
engine is not running for extended
periods of time to prevent battery
discharge.
. The glass screen on the liquid crystal
display may break if it is hit with a
hard or sharp object. If the glass
screen breaks, do not touch it. Doing
so could result in an injury.
. Extreme temperature conditions [be-
low −4°F (−20°C) and above 158°F
(70°C)] could affect the performance
of the system.
INFINITI INTOUCHTMOWNER’S MANUALSAFETY PRECAUTIONS

4-36Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
WARNING
.The heater and air conditioner oper-
ate 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 unknowingly 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
conditioning 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
operate even if the engine is turned off and
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position. NOTE:
.
Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the ventilators.
. 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.

mode. When the DUAL mode is set, the
temperature for the driver seat and the front
passenger seat can be adjusted indepen-
dently. When the DUAL mode is on, the
indicator light is on and “DUAL” appears.
Advanced Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the automatic air circulation control
with the exhaust gas/outside odor detection
sensor and with ion control.
WAE0219X
[Auto Recirc]:
Touch to turn on the automatic air
recirculation mode.
Plasmacluster®icon:
Indicates the Plasmacluster®ion emis-
sion status.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
The Advanced Climate Control system
comes with an exhaust gas detection/out-
side odor sensor. When the automatic air
circulation control is activated, the sensor
detects odors outside the vehicle such as
pulp or chemicals, and exhaust gas such as
gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gases
are detected, the display and the system automatically change from the fresh air
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the automatic air circulation control
mode 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.
NOTE:
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
.
The air flow control is not in the wind-
shield defrosting mode (the indicator
light on
is turned off).
. The outside temperature is approxi-
mately 32 °F (0 °C) or above.
Ion control:
The Advanced Climate Control system unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter
®ions into the air blown from the
ventilators 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.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service should
be done only by an experienced techni-
cian with the proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer. However, it may contribute in a
small part to global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your vehicle’s air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to the
air conditioner system. (See “Air conditioning
system refrigerant and lubricant recommen-
dations” (P.10-7).)
An INFINITI retailer will be able to service your environmentally friendly air conditioner
system.
In-cabin microfilter
With Advanced Climate Control system:
The air conditioning system is equipped with
a natural grape seed polyphenol filter which
collects and neutralizes dirt, pollen, dust, etc.
To make sure that the air conditioner heats,
defogs and ventilates efficiently, replace the
filter in accordance with the specified main-
tenance intervals listed in the separate
maintenance booklet. To replace the filter,
contact an INFINITI retailer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.
Without Advanced Climate Control system:
The air conditioning system is equipped with
an in-cabin microfilter that collects dirt,
pollen, dust, etc.
To make sure that the air conditioner heats,
defogs and ventilates efficiently, replace the
filter in accordance with the specified main-
tenance schedule in the separate mainte-
nance booklet. To replace the filter, contact
an INFINITI retailer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.
