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.

∙ Do not place reflective materials, such aswhite paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
∙ Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is dam-
aged due to an accident, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the LDP system
could result in serious injury or death.
The LDP system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately
45 mph (70 km/h) and above, and only when
the lane markings are clearly visible on the
road. The LDP system warns the driver with a
warning indicator in the vehicle information
display and chime, and helps assist the driver
to return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane by applying the brakes to the
left or right wheels individually (for a short
period of time).
The LDP system monitors the lane markers
on the traveling lane using the camera unit
1
located above the inside mirror. When the
camera unit detects that the vehicle is travel-
ing close to either the left or the right of the
traveling lane, the Lane Departure Warning
indicator in the vehicle information display
blinks in orange and a warning chime sounds.
When the LDP system is on, it will automati-
cally apply the brakes for a short period of
time, using the function of the Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) system.

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSW system
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The BSW system is not a replacement forproper driving procedures and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction your vehicle will
move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when chang-
ing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
1in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane.
