TIONS
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 pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.
. 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 vehi-
cle can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.
. Vehicles with an automatic climate con-
trol system will automatically adjust the
passenger compartment to be the set
appropriate temperature when the Re-
mote Engine Start feature is used.
For models with Idling Stop System (if so
equipped)

tor light on<>is turned off).
. The outside temperature is approxi-
mately 32 °F (0 °C) 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 sensorsandon the instrument
panel helps maintain a constant tem-
perature. 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,
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 vehicle Owner’s Manual. To
replace the filter, it is recommended you visit
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.

Without Advanced Climate Control system:
The Climate Control system is equipped with
an in-cabin microfilter that collects 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 vehicle
Owner’s Manual. To replace the filter, it is
recommended you visit 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.
SERVICING HEATER AND AIR
CONDITIONER
The heating and air conditioning system in
your vehicle 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 the
air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your Climate Control system. Refer to the
vehicle Owner’s Manual for heating and air
conditioning system refrigerant and lubri-
cant recommendations.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer 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.
REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDE
MIRROR DEFROSTER

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
RADIO
Push the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position before turning on the radio. If
you listen to the radio with the engine or the
hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be pushed to the “ACC”
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
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 vehicle
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
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are
completely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. 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.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.

tions at the same time may slow down or disconnect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)
when using the Bluetooth® functions.
. Set up the wireless connection between
a compatible cellular phone and the in-
vehicle phone module before using the
Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System.
