ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
System Start-Up
Due to the large number of features and capa-
bilities that the INFINITI InTouch system needs
to load on start-up, it may take up to a minute
for all functions (such as Apps) to be available.
The system will display the message indicating
that the application is loading during this time.
During the start-up period, hard button controls
for audio will become available before start-up
is complete. Features will become available in
the following order.
•Audio volume and music playback
•Audio Full Screen Access
•Full App Availability – System will display
the message indicating the completion of the
application loading process.
System Response Delay
INFINITI InTouch uses an operating system like
those found on many computers, tablets and
cell phones. Like these devices, processing
speed may vary, and system response delays or
resets may occur intermittently. This does not
indicate a malfunction, and further information
on system operation can be found below.In most situations, simply waiting a few mo-
ments longer should be sufficient for the pend-
ing operations to complete.
If the system temporarily does not respond to
commands, the system can be easily reset.
Simply push down the Audio Power knob for at
least 5 seconds. The system will turn off and
restart.
After restart, all functions should be available.
•Audio will resume, but if you were using
Bluetooth® Audio or an Audio App, the
connection may need to be re-established.
•If a navigation route was set, the route
should resume automatically (models with
navigation system).
•If a phone call was in progress, the call may
be temporarily transferred back to the hand-
set.
System Reset
As noted above, intermittent system resets may
occur during normal operation. You may also
wish to reset the system if you find that a
particular feature is not loading or responding.
Often, a quick system reset will resolve any
issue you may be experiencing. After restart, all
functions will be available as described above.System Updates
Like many digital devices, the INFINITI InTouch
system is designed to allow for software up-
dates as enhancements are developed and ad-
ditional features added. If you have questions
about system performance, it is recommended
you contact your INFINITI retailer to ensure that
your vehicle has had the latest available soft-
ware installed.
Operating Tips
INFINITI InTouch provides several methods of
operation to suit your preferences. The follow-
ing are suggested operating tips.
•Operating the INFINITI Controller, Steering
Wheel Controls, or other controls too quickly
can cause a lag between the control and the
display. Operate the controls carefully and
allow the system to respond to your request.
•INFINITI recommends using Voice Recogni-
tion whenever possible to select options
while driving. Some touch screen functional-
ity is intentionally unavailable during driving.
Please view the available voice commands by
pushing<
>on the steering wheel and
then selecting a category on the display.

•Tall objects, such as a curb or a vehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam
of the views.
•Objects that are above the camera cannot
be displayed.
•The view for the bird’s-eye view may be
misaligned when the camera position al-
ters.
•A line on the ground may be misaligned and
is not seen as being straight at the seam of

WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and in-
jure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•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 condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate
even if the engine is turned off and the ignition
switch is in the ON position.NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up. To prevent the windows from misting
up
•Switch off climate control only briefly.
•Switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly.
•Switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting function
briefly, if required.The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control regulates the temperature and the hu-
midity of the vehicle interior and filters unde-
sirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control can only be operated when the engine is
running. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows closed.
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear. Otherwise the vehicle will
not be ventilated correctly.
NOTE
•Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
•The integrated filter filters out most particles
of dust and soot and completely filters out
pollen. With automatic climate control, gas-
eous pollutants and odors will also be re-
duced. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this
reason, you should always observe the inter-
val for replacing the filter, which is specified
in the Service Booklet. As this depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Service Booklet.

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.
