SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refriger-
ant under high pressure. To avoid personal in-
jury, any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician with
the proper equipment.
The air conditioner 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.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your vehicle’s air con-
ditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (SeeAir conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendationsin the
9. Maintenance and Schedulessection.)
An INFINITI retailer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
Air conditioner filter
The air conditioner system is equipped with an
air conditioner filter. To make sure the air
conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter in accordance with the
specified maintenance intervals listed in the
separate maintenance booklet. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air condi-
tioner.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
•The driver must not attempt to operate the
audio system while the vehicle is in motion,
so that full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
•Park the vehicle in a safe location and apply
the parking brake before operating the au-
dio system and playing movies (if
equipped).
CAUTION
•Operate the audio system only when the
vehicle engine is running. Operating the au-
dio system for extended periods of time
with the engine turned off can discharge the
vehicle battery.
•Do not allow the system to get wet. Exces-
sive moisture such as spilled liquids may
cause the system to malfunction.
Radio
Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio when the engine is not
running, the ignition switch should be pushed
to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality are normally 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 recep-
tion. These circuits are designed to extend
reception range, and to enhance the quality of
that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle,
even when the best quality equipment 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, ter-
rain, signal distance and interference from
other vehicles can adversely affect ideal recep-
tion. Described below are some of the factors
that can affect 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
MAXIMUM SIGNAL DISTANCES
•FM : 25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km)
•AM : 60 to 130 miles (97 to 209 km)
Range: 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 re-
ceiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path,
exhibiting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to
fade and/or drift.Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with an in-
creased distance from the station transmitter,
static or flutter can be heard. This can be
reduced by lowering the treble setting to reduce
the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can bounce off the
ionosphere and be bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics, AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from trans-
mitter to receiver.
Fading: This occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception
(for U.S.)
HD RadioTMTechnology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts, see
Audio settingslater in this section.
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available), providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When this
feature is not activated or HD Radio broadcasts
are not available, you will receive analog radio
(AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
the satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of
any metal or large building for the satellite
radio to receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio requires an active SiriusXM
Satellite Radio subscription. The satellite ser-
vice is a available only to those at least 18 and
older in the 48 contiguous United States.
The satellite radio performance may be affected
if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.

If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
The build up of ice on the satellite radio an-
tenna can affect satellite radio performance.
Remove the ice to restore satellite radio recep-
tion.

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 compressed digital audio file
format. This format allows for near “CD qual-
ity” sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an
audio track can reduce the file size by ap-
proximately a 10:1 ratio (sampling: 44.1 kHz,
bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no percep-
tible loss in quality. The compression re-
duces certain parts of sound that seem inau-
dible to most people.
•WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Micro-
soft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA codec
offers greater file compression 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 determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file.
•Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency
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 con-
tains information about the digital music file
such as song title, artist, album title, encod-
ing bit rate, and track time duration, etc. ID3
tag information is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.
