illuminates while the engine is running, it may
indicate the power steering system is not
functioning properly and may need servicing.
Have the hydraulic pump electric power
steering system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
When the electric power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine running,
there will be no power assist for the steering
but you will still have control of the vehicle. At
this time, greater steering effort is required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speeds. For additional information, see “Power steer-
ing” (P. 5-164).

REAR DOOR SUNSHADE (if so
equipped)
The rear door sunshade is located within the
rear doors at the base of the window.
• To raise the sunshade, pull up the centertab
O1.
• Hook the sunshade slots onto the tabs ex- tending from the top of the window frame
O2.
CAUTION
• Do not release the rear door sunshade
during operation. This could damage the
sunshade or cause injury.
• Do not forcefully pull the sunshade. Do-
ing so may elongate the sunshade. This
could cause improper operation or could
damage the sunshade.
• Do not place objects on or near the rear
sunshade. This could cause improper op-
eration or could damage the sunshade.

POWER MOONROOF
Instruments and controls2-111
• When the outside and interior cabin tem-peratures are moderate to high, the intake
setting may default to turn off air recircu-
lation to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. You may notice air flow
from the foot mode, bi-level mode, or side
demist vent outlets for a maximum of 15
seconds. This may occur when the previous
climate setting was turned off. This is not a
malfunction. After the initial warm air is
expelled, the intake will return to automatic
control, the air flow outlet will return to
previous settings, and operation will con-
tinue normally. To exit, press any climate
control button.
• Keep the moonroof closed while the air conditioner is in operation.
• If you feel that the air flow mode you have selected and the outlets the air is coming
out do not match, select the
mode.
• When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the foot outlets for
just a moment. This is not a malfunction.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM (if so
equipped)
The Automatic Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using
the automatic air recirculation control with
the exhaust gas/outside odor detecting sen-
sor with ion control. Touch the
recircu-
lation switch to activate.
Ion control (if so equipped):
The Automatic Climate Control System unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter® ions into the air blown from the ventila-
tors to reduce odor absorbed into the interior
trim and to suppress airborne bacteria.
The Plasmacluster® icon on the Climate dis-
play indicates the status of the Plasmaclus-
ter® ion emission from the system and
changes with the amount of the air flow.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor
(if so equipped):
The Automatic Climate Control System
comes with an exhaust gas detection/
outside odor sensor. When the automatic air
circulation control is activated, the sensor de-
tects odors outside the vehicle such as pulp or
chemicals, and exhaust such as gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gases are de-
tected the display and the system automati-
cally changes from fresh air mode to the re-
circulation mode.
When the automatic air recirculation 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.
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
• The air flow control is not in the front de-
froster mode (the indicator light on the
front defroster button is turned off).
• The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C) or more.
