NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the vehiclecan build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air con- ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
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 automatically.
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

buttons on the driver’s side to set the de-
sired temperature.
• The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automatically.
Air flow distribution, air intake control 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 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 con-
trol buttons to set the desired
temperature.
• To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, use the

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 automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
approximately 32°F (0°C) to defog the
windshield. The air recirculate mode auto-
matically turns off, allowing outside air to
be drawn into the passenger 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)

signed to operate only when the surface tem-
perature of the steering wheel is below 68°F
(20°C).
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on

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.

–– If the surface temperature of thesteering-wheel is above the temperature
within which the system is designed to
operate, the system will not heat the
steering-wheel. This is not a malfunction. 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, see “Air conditioner system refriger-
ant and oil recommendations” (P. 10-7).
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 on the inside of the console box
and in the 2nd row on the back of the center
console. 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 beneath the instru-
ment panel will operate USB/iPod® devices.
