HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER OPERA-
TION PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
.The heater and the air conditioner
operates only when the engine or the
hybrid system is running.
. Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others
alone in your vehicle. Pets should not be
left alone either. 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 use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driving so
that full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
. Turn off the system when the engine or
the hybrid system is not running to
prevent battery discharge.
INFO:
.
Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
.When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.

ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYS-
TEM (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the automatic air circulation control
with the exhaust gas/outside odor detect-
ing sensor and with ion control.

sor:
The Advanced Climate Control system
comes with an exhaust gas detection/
outside odor sensor. When the automatic
air circulation control is activated, the
sensor 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 ex-
haust gas and automatically alternates
between the air recirculation mode and
the fresh air mode.

INFO:
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
.The air flow control is not in the windshield
defrosting mode (the indicator light on
<
> is turned off).
.The outside temperature is approximately
32 8F(0 8C) 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.
OPERATING TIPS
. The sensors*Aand*Bon the instru-
ment panel helps maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around these sensors. .
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low,
the air flow from the foot outlets may
not operate. This is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature warms
up, air will flow normally from the foot
outlets.
. A visible mist may be seen coming from
the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does
not indicate a malfunction.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
With Advanced Climate Control system:
The Climate Control system is equipped
with a natural grape seed polyphenol filter
that collects and neutralizes dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure that the air
conditioner heats, defogs and ventilates
efficiently, replace the filter in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in the
INFINITI Service and Maintenance Guide.
To replace the filter, contact an INFINITI
retailer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.

dirt, pollen, dust, allergens (such as
pollen, tick shells), etc. To make sure that
the air conditioner heats, defogs and
ventilates efficiently, replace the filter in
accordance with the maintenance schedule
in the INFINITI Service and Maintenance
Guide. To replace the filter, contact an
INFINITI retailer.The filter should be replaced if the air flow

SERVICING HEATER AND AIR CON-
DITIONER
The heating and air conditioning system in
your INFINITI is charged with a refrigerant
designed with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer. However, special charging
equipment and lubricant are required when
servicing your INFINITI air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants
will cause severe damage to your Climate
Control system. Refer to Vehicle Owner’s
Manual for heating and air conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations.
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly heater and
air conditioning system.
WARNING!
The system contains refrigerant under high
pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air
conditioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
HEATED SEATS (if so equipped)
WARNING!
Do not use or allow occupants to use the seat
heater if you or the occupants cannot
monitor elevated seat temperatures or have
an inability to feel pain in those body parts in
contact with the seat. Use of the seat heater
by such people could result in serious injury.
CAUTION!
.
The battery could run down if the seat
heater is operated while the engine or
the hybrid system is not running.
. Do not use the seat heater for extended
periods or when no one is using the seat.
. Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket, cush-
ion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat
may become overheated.

COMPRESSED AUDIO FILES (MP3/
WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms
.MP3 —MP3 is short for Moving
Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is the most well known com-
pressed digital audio file format. This
format allows for near “CD quality”
sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of
an audio track can reduce the file size
by approximately a 10:1 ratio (Sam-
pling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps)
with virtually no perceptible loss in
quality. The compression reduces cer-
tain parts of sound that seem inaudible
to most people.
. WMA —Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when
compared to MP3s at the same level
of quality. .
Bit rate —Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency —Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
. Multisession —Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag —The ID3/WMA tag is
the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA
file that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.
