SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, 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
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (See "Air conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendations" in
the "9. Maintenance and Schedules" section.)
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 ef-
ficiently, replace the filter in accordance with
the specified maintenance intervals listed in
the separate maintenance booklet. It is rec-
ommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
4-52Display screen, heater and air conditioner, and audio system
Page 246 of 538
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air con-
ditioner.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 operat-
ing the audio system and playing movies
(if equipped).
CAUTION
•Operate the audio system only when the
vehicle engine is running. Operating the
audio system for extended periods of
time with the engine turned off can dis-
charge the vehicle battery.
•Do not allow the system to get wet. Ex-
cessive 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,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in re-
ception 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
reception. These circuits are designed to ex-
tend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving
vehicle, even when the best quality equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are com-
pletely normal in a given reception area, and
do not indicate any malfunction in your radio
system.
AUDIO SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Display screen, heater and air conditioner, and audio system4-53
Page 247 of 538
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, ter-
rain, signal distance and interference from
other vehicles can adversely affect ideal re-
ception. 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 some-
times 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 transmit-
ter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-of-
sight path, exhibiting many of the same char-
acteristics 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 transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be
reduced by lowering the treble setting to re-
duce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting 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 transmitter to receiver.
Fading: This occurs while the vehicle is pass-
ing through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence 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 settings" later 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 broad-
casts are not available, you will receive ana-
log 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 min-
utes with the satellite radio ON and the ve-
hicle outside of any metal or large building for
the satellite radio to receive all of the neces-
sary 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 af-
fected 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 re-
ception.
