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
will display on the lower display. 2. Press the AUTO button on. (The indicator
on the button will illuminate and AUTO
will be displayed on the CLIMATE screen.)
3. Press the
temperature control
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

trol 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 thefront defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automatically
be turned on at outside temperatures ap-
proximately 32°F (0°C) to defog the wind-
shield. The air recirculate mode automatically
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 placed in the ON posi-
tion. In Remote Engine Start defrosting
mode, the rear window defroster, heated
seat (if so equipped) and heated steering
wheel (if so equipped) may be activated au-
tomatically. In Remote Engine Start cooling
mode, the climate controlled seat (if so
equipped) may be activated automatically.

LOCK position. After cranking the en-
gine, release the accelerator pedal.
Crank the engine with your foot off the
accelerator pedal by depressing the
brake pedal and pushing the ignition
switch to start the engine. If the engine
starts, but fails to run, repeat the above
procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than
15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not
start, push the ignition switch to the OFF
position and wait 10 seconds before crank-
ing again, otherwise the starter could be
damaged.
4. Warm-up:
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the
engine while warming it up. Drive at a
moderate speed for a short distance first,
especially in cold weather. In cold
weather, keep the engine running for a
minimum of2-3minutes before shutting
it off. Starting and stopping the engine
over a short period of time may make the
vehicle more difficult to start. 5. To stop the engine, place the vehicle in the
P (Park) position and push the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start conditions
such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.).
2. The vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
REMOTE ENGINE START
Vehicles started with the Remote Engine
Start require the ignition switch to be placed
in the ON position before the shift position
can be shifted from the P (Park) position. To
place the ignition switch in the ON position,
follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is on you.
2. Apply the brake.
3. Push the ignition switch once to the ON position.
For additional information, see “INFINITI In-
telligent Key” (P. 3-2).
