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.

The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring. Restart the engine using the following
procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI
recommends placing the registered key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.
