2020 INFINITI QX50 Owners Manual

– When there is dirt, water drops orsnow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving ob- jects in the display is not changed.
∙ The MOD system might detect flowing water droplets on the camera lens, white
smoke from the muffler, moving shad-
ows, etc.
∙ The MOD system may not function prop- erly depending on the speed, direction,
distance or shape of the moving objects.
∙ If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts where the camera is installed, leav-
ing it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered and the MOD system may
not detect objects properly.
∙ When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction. NOTE:
The blue or green MOD icon will change to
orange if one of the following has occurred:
∙ When the system is malfunctioning.
∙ When the component temperature reaches a high level (icon will blink).
∙ When the Rear View camera has de- tected a blockage (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate or-
ange, have the MOD system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
∙ Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration.
∙ Do not damage the camera as the moni- tor screen may be adversely affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of the
cameras
1, the MOD system may not oper-
ate properly. Clean the camera by wiping
with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild
cleaning agent and then wiping with a dry
cloth.

WARNING
∙ The air conditioner cooling function op- erates only when the engine is running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the vehicle.
Also, 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.

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
Press the AUTO button to set the automatic
control mode that keeps the air distribution,
temperature and the fan speed automati-
cally.
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, air
intake control, and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically. 1. Press the
CLIMATE button on the
lower display menu. The CLIMATE
screen will display on the lower display.
2. Press the AUTO button on. (The indica- tor on the button will illuminate and
AUTO will be displayed on the CLIMATE
screen.)
3. Press the
temperature con-
trol buttons on the driver’s side to set the
desired temperature.
∙ The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution, air intake con-
trol and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as the
air is cooled rapidly. This does not indi-
cate 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 buttons to set the desired tem-
perature.
∙ To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, use the
fan speed
control button or the “
” key 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 approximately 32°F (0°C) to
defog the windshield. The air recirculate
mode automatically turns off, allowing
outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve 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, heated seat (if so equipped)
and heated steering wheel (if so equipped)
may be activated automatically. In Remote
Engine Start cooling mode, the climate con-
trolled seat (if so equipped) may be activated
automatically.
Voice Recognition logic (if so
equipped)
When the climate control system is on, the
fan speed may be automatically lowered so
that commands are more easily recognized.
Fan speed can be adjusted using the
fan
speed decrease and
increase buttons, if
desired.
MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control
Press thefan speed increase andfan speed decrease buttons to manually con-
trol the fan speed. Fan speed can also be
controlled by touching the “
”or“”
keys on the lower display.
Press the AUTO button to return to auto-
matic control of the fan speed.
Temperature control
Press thetemperature control
buttons up or down to set the desired tem-
perature.
The temperature can be set within the fol-
lowing range:
∙ For U.S.: 60 to 90ºF (16 to 32ºC)
∙ For Canada: 64 to 90ºF (18 to 32ºC)
Air recirculation
Press theair recirculation button to re-
circulate interior air inside the vehicle.
The
indicator light on the button will
come on.
The air recirculation cannot be activated
when the air conditioner is in the
front
defrosting mode.
When the outside temperature exceeds 70°F
(21°C), the air conditioning system may de-
fault to air recirculation mode automatically
to reduce overall power consumption. To exit
air recirculation mode, deselect the
air
recirculation button (indicator will turn off) to
enter fresh air mode.
Automatic intake air control
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be
controlled automatically. To manually control the intake air, press the
air recirculation
button. To return to the automatic control
mode, press and hold the
air recircula-
tion button for about 2 seconds. The indica-
tor light will flash twice, and then the intake
air will be controlled automatically.
Air flow control
Press thebutton to manually control
air flow. Pressing the button repeatedly will
cycle through the available modes and dis-
play the corresponding icon on the lower dis-
play. Air flow can also be controlled by touch-
ing the “
” key on the lower display:
— Air flows from center and side
vents.
— Air flows from center and sidevents and feet vents.

so equipped) defroster switch
For additional information, refer to “Rear

the “Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
OPERATING TIPS
The sensors,AandBon the instrument
panel, help the system maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around these sensors. ∙ When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air may flow from defroster or feet vents
to initialize automatic heating mode. This
is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, air will flow nor-
mally from the feet vents
∙ 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.
