AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
Automatic operation
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating (AUTO) :
This mode may be used all year round. The
system works automatically to control the in-
side temperature, air flow distribution and fan
speed after the preferred temperature is set
manually.
1. Push the “AUTO” button on. (The indicatoron the button will illuminate and AUTO will
be displayed.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial (driver side) to set the desired temperature.
●The temperature can be set within the
following range.
– For U.S.: 60 to 90°F
– For Canada: 18 to 32°C
● The temperature of the passenger com-
partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution and fan speed
will also be controlled automatically.
3. You can individually set driver and front passenger side temperature using each
temperature control button. When the
“DUAL” button is pushed or the passen-
ger side temperature control button is
turned, the DUAL indicator will come on.
To turn off the passenger side tempera-
ture control, push the “DUAL” button.
4. To turn off the climate control system, push the “OFF” button.
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 mal-
function.
Heating (A/C OFF) :
The air conditioner does not activate in this
mode. When you need to heat only, use this
mode.
1. Push the “AUTO” button on.
2. Push the “A/C” button. (The A/C indicatorwill turn off.)
3. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
●The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also
controlled automatically. ●
Do not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature. Otherwise the sys-
tem may not work properly.
● Not recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging:
1. Push the “” front defroster button.
(The indicator light on the button will
illuminate.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
●To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, push the fan speed increase but-
ton “
” and set it to the maximum
position.
● As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, push the “AUTO” button to return to
the auto mode.
● When the “
” front defroster button is
pushed, the air conditioner will automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
above 23°F (5°C) to defog the windshield,
and the air recirculate mode will automati-
cally be turned off.
Outside air is drawn into the passenger
compartment to improve the defogging per-
formance.

LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM
Precautions on LDP system
WARNING
●The LDP system will not steer the vehicle or
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of vehicle at all times.
● The LDP system is primarily intended for use
on well-developed freeways or highways. It
may not detect the lane markers in certain
roads, weather or driving conditions.
● Using the LDP system under some condi-
tions of road, lane marker or weather, or
when you change lanes without using the
lane change signal could lead to an unex-
pected system operation. In such condi-
tions, you need to correct the vehicle’s direc-
tion with your steering operation to avoid
accidents.
● When the LDP system is operating, avoid
excessive or sudden steering maneuvers.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the
vehicle. ●
The LDP system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) or if
it cannot detect lane markers.
● The LDP system may not function properly
under the following conditions, and do not
use the LDP system:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving off-road such as on sand or rock, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire condi- tions (for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non- original brake parts or suspension parts.
– When towing a trailer or other vehicle. ●
If the LDP system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically. The lane departure warning
light (orange) on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
● If the lane departure warning light (orange)
illuminates, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle. Turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the warning light
(orange) continues to illuminate, have the
LDP system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
The functions of the LDP system (warning and
brake control assist) may or may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
● On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where discontinued lane markers
are still detectable.
5-24Starting and driving

Entering from the side
The BSW indicator light illuminates if a vehicle
enters the detection zone from either side.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed as
your vehicle when it enters the detection zone.If the driver activates the turn signal, then the
BSW indicator light flashes and a chime will
sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before a
vehicle enters the detection zone, the BSW indi-
cator light will flash but no chime will sound
when another vehicle is detected.
BSW temporarily not available
●
When radar blockage is detected, the BSW
system will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound and the BSW system warn- ing light (orange) will blink. The BSW system
is not available until the condition no longer
exists.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water,
mist or fog. The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or dirt
obstructing the radar sensors.
Action to take:
When the above condition no longer exists, the
BSW system will resume automatically.
If the warning light (orange) continues to blink,
have the BSW system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
BSW MALFUNCTION
When the BSW system malfunctions, they will
be turned off automatically, a beep will sound
and the BSW system warning light (orange) will
illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine.
If the warning light (orange) continues to illu-
minate, have the BSW system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
