2021 INFINITI QX80 center console

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 the “
” front defroster but-
ton 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.
The Plasmacluster
®icon on the Climate
screen indicates the status of the Plas-
macluster
®ion emission from the system
and changes with the amount of the air flow.
REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDI-
TIONING SYSTEM
The front air conditioning system must be
turned on to activate the rear air condition-

cannot be used to operate the front air
conditioning system when the Rear climate
screen is shown on the lower display. To use
the front air conditioner control panel for the
front air conditioning system operation,
push the CLIMATE button or touch the
“
