cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel-
spray and possibly a fire.
O Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can
result in a serious malfunction and pos-
sible injury. An incorrect cap could also
cause the
malfunction indicator
lamp to illuminate.
O Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can
cause an explosion of flammable liquid,
vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel containers:
Ð Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact with
the container while you are filling it.
Ð Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
O Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle. CAUTION O If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
O Tighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop-
erly may cause the
malfunction in-
dicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate. If the
lamp illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
lamp should turn off
after a few driving trips. If the
lamp
does not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI
dealer.
O For additional information, see the ªMal-
function indicator lamp (MIL)º in the ª2.
Instruments and controlsº section.

WARNINGO The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
O On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals. Do
not leave children or adults who would
normally require the assistance of
others in your vehicle. Unattended pets
should also not be left alone.
O Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
O Positioning of the heater and/or air con-
ditioner controls should not be done
while driving so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
Start the engine and operate the controls
to activate the air conditioner. AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified
heating (AUTO) This mode may be normally used all year
round as the system automatically works
to keep a constant temperature. Air flow
distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.

compartment will be maintained auto-
matically. Air flow distribution and fan
speed are also controlled automati-
cally.
Economical operation (ECON) Economical operation reduces some load
to the engine to improve the fuel economy. It allows higher humidity than
normal operation.
Pushing the AUTO/ECON button changes
operations as follows while the A/C
button indicator is on. AUTO ! ECON !

The air conditioning system in your
INFINITI vehicle is charged with a refriger-
ant designed with the environment in
mind. This refrigerant will not harm the
earth's ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioning system. See ªCa-
pacities and recommended fuel/
lubricantsº in the ª9. Technical and con-
sumer informationº section for air condi-
tioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
An INFINITI dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioning system.
WARNINGThe air conditioner system contains refriger-
ant under high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician with
proper equipment. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the POWER or RADIO
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 sig-
nal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, 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 de-
signed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general charac-
teristics of FM, AM and satellite radio sig-
nals that can affect radio reception
quality in a moving vehicle, even when
the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics 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. Be-
cause of the movement, reception condi-
tions will constantly change. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against
ideal reception. Described below are
some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.

ANTENNA
Window antenna The antenna pattern is printed inside the
rear window. CAUTION O Do not place metalized film near the rear
window glass or attach any metal parts
to it. This may cause poor reception or
noise.
O When cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to scratch or damage
the rear window antenna. Lightly wipe
along the antenna with a dampened soft
cloth. When installing a CB, ham radio or car
phone in your INFINITI, be sure to observe
the following cautions, otherwise the new
equipment may adversely affect the En-
gine control system and other electronic
parts.
WARNING O A cellular telephone should not be used
while driving so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation. Some juris-
dictions prohibit the use of cellular tele-
phones while driving.
O If you must make a call while your ve-
hicle is in motion, the hands free cellular
phone operational mode (if so equipped)
is highly recommended. Exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
O If a conversation in a moving vehicle re-
quires you to take notes, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop your vehicle
before doing so.CAR PHONE OR CB RADIO

CAUTIONO Keep the antenna as far away as pos-
sible from the electronic control mod-
ules.
O Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic control
system harness. Do not route the an-
tenna wire next to any harness.
O Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio
as recommended by the manufacturer.
O Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.
O For details, consult an INFINITI dealer.
WARNING O Use a phone after stopping your vehicle
in a safe location. If you have to use a
phone while driving, exercise extreme
caution at all times so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
O If a conversation in a moving vehicle re-
quires you to take notes, pull off the road
