2. Getting Started
The screen may become distorted by strong
magnetic fields.
Maintenance of display:
CAUTION
.To clean the display, stop the vehicle
in a safe location.
. Clean the display with the ignition
switch in the OFF position. If the
display is cleaned while the ignition
switch is in the ON position, uninten-
tional operation may occur.
. To clean the display, never use a
rough cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner
and any kind of solvent or paper towel
with a chemical cleaning agent. They
will scratch or deteriorate the panel.
. Do not splash any liquid such as water
or car fragrance on the display. Con-
tact with liquid will cause the system
to malfunction.
. When cleaning the display, use the
dedicated cleaning cloth.
. Before cleaning, wipe away any sand or
dust from the surface of the display and shake out the exclusive cloth in order to
prevent damaging the display.
. If the display is heavily soiled, moisten
the dedicated cleaning cloth and then
clean the display. If the exclusive cloth is
moistened, be sure to dry it out suffi-
ciently before storing it. Color may be
transferred to objects that it comes in
contact with.
. The dedicated cleaning cloth retains its
cleaning properties even if it is washed
repeatedly.
. When washing the exclusive cloth, be
sure to rinse it thoroughly so that no
detergent remains.
. When ironing the exclusive cloth, iron
using a low temperature setting 176 to
248 °F (80 to 120°C).

3. Heater and air conditioner
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
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the rear window defroster.
To defog/defrost the rear window glass and
outside mirrors, start the engine or the
hybrid system and push <
>. The indicator
light on the button will illuminate. Push the
button again to turn off the defroster.
The defroster will automatically turn off in
approximately 15 minutes.

do not represent a system malfunction: . When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not clearly display
objects.
. When strong light is directly coming on
the camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects on

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
. Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air brakes
or a pneumatic drill may affect the function of the system, including re-
duced performance or a false activa-
tion.
. The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the bum-
per or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the fol-
lowing objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
— Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
objects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Camera/Sonar setting menu (the setting
items are grayed out), the sonar system
may be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of snow,
ice and dirt. Do not scratch the surface of
the sonar sensors when cleaning. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy of the
sonar function will be diminished.

7. Monitor system
.The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental
conditions and surrounding objects
such as:
— When there is low contrast between background and the moving objects.
— When there is blinking source of light.
— When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.
— When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when
mirror is folded.
— When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
— When the position of the moving objects in the display is not chan-
ged.
. The MOD system might detect flow-
ing water droplets on the camera lens,
white smoke from the muffler, moving
shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed,
direction, distance or shape of the moving objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the
sensing zone may be altered and the
MOD system may not detect objects
properly.
. When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
.Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with
diluted mild cleaning agent and then
wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of
the cameras
