automatic mode.
.When the “”button is pushed,
the air conditioner will automatically
turn on when the outside air tem-
perature is above 238F( −58C) to
defog the windshield. The air recir-
culation mode will automatically
turn off. The outside air circulation
mode will be selected to improve the
defogging performance.
Manual operation

Advanced climate control system (if
so equipped)
The advanced climate control system keeps
the air inside of the vehicle clean, using
the ion control and the automatic air intake
control with outside odor and exhaust gas
detecting sensor.
SAA2734
Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into the air blown
from the ventilators and reduces odor
absorbed into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions
automatically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “
”.

Outside odor and exhaust gas detection
sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an outside
odor and exhaust gas detection sensor.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, the sensor detects odors and exhaust
gas, and then the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is
pushed under the following conditions,
the indicator light on the “
”side will
illuminate and the outside odor and
exhaust gas detection sensor will turn on.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on
the “
”front defroster button is
turned off).
. The outside temperature is about 328F
(08C) or more.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-37

4-38Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
.The outside odor and exhaust gas
detection sensor detects industrial
odors such as pulp or chemicals and
exhaust gas such as gasoline or diesel.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, for the first 5 minutes, the recircula-
tion mode is selected to prevent dust, dirt
and pollen from entering the vehicle and
cleans the air inside of the vehicle with
Plasmacluster
®ion that are emitted from
the ventilator.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects outside
odors and exhaust gas and automatically
alternates between the recirculation mode
and outside air circulation mode.
OPERATING TIPS
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 nor-
mally from the foot outlets.
SIC2768
The sunload sensor*Aon the instrument
panel helps maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
To make sure that the air conditioner
heats, defogs and ventilates efficiently,
replace the filter according the specified
maintenance intervals listed 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. A natural grape seed polyphe-
nol filter (if so equipped) collects and
neutralizes dirt, pollen, dust, etc.
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control 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.
(See “Capacities and recommended fuel/
lubricants” (P.9-2) for climate control sys-
tem refrigerant and lubricant recommenda-
tions.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate con-
trol 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.
