AUTOMATIC SEAT POSITIONER
OPERATION This system is designed so that the driver's
seat will automatically move when the auto-
matic transmission selector lever is in the P
(Park) position or when the parking brake is
applied (manual transmission model). This al-
lows the driver to get in and out of the driver's
seat more easily.
When one of the following conditions is met,
the driver's seat will slide backward. (AT mod-
els only)
O When the key is removed from the ignition
switch.

the driver's seat will return to the positions
before being set. (AT models only)
O When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
O When the driver's door is closed with the
key turned to LOCK.
O When the key is turned from ACC to ON with the driver's door open.

up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioning system. The air conditioning system in your INFINITI
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind. This refrigerant
will not harm the earth's ozone layer. How-
ever, special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lu-
bricants will cause severe damage to your air
conditioning system. See ªCapacities and rec-
ommended fuel/lubricantsº in the ª10. Techni-
cal and consumer informationº section for air
conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air conditioning
system.
WARNING The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper equip-
ment. Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and press
the POWER, FM or AM button to turn on the
radio. If you listen to the radio with the engine
not running, the key should be turned to the
ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to ex-
tend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general characteris-
tics of FM, AM and satellite radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving
vehicle, even when the finest equipment is
used. These characteristics are completely
normal in a given reception area, and do not
indicate any malfunction in your radio system.
Remember that a moving vehicle is not the
ideal place to listen to a radio. Because of theSERVICING AIR CONDITIONER AUDIO SYSTEM
