ADDITIONAL SYSTEM
INFORMATION
System Start-Up
Due to the large number of features and
capabilities 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 mes-
sage 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. Fea-
tures 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, process-
ing 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
pending 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 avail-
able.
•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
handset.
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 respond-
ing. Often, a quick system reset will resolve
any issue you may be experiencing. After re-
start, all functions will be available as de-
scribed above. System Updates
Like many digital devices, the INFINITI
InTouch system is designed to allow for soft-
ware updates as enhancements are devel-
oped and additional 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 software installed.
Operating Tips
INFINITI InTouch provides several methods
of operation to suit your preferences. The
following are suggested operating tips.
•Operating the INFINITI Controller, Steer-
ing Wheel Controls, or other controls too
quickly can cause a lag between the con-
trol and the display. Operate the controls
carefully and allow the system to respond
to your request.
•INFINITI recommends using Voice Recog-
nition whenever possible to select options
while driving. Some touch screen function-
ality is intentionally unavailable during
driving. Please view the available voice
commands by pushing <
>on the steer-
ing wheel and then selecting a category on
the display.

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 un-
knowingly activate switches or controls
and inadvertently become involved in a
serious accident and injure themselves.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures 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 condi-
tioning controls while driving so that full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when
the engine is running. The air blower will op-
erate even if the engine is turned off and the
ignition switch is in the ON position. NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condi-
tioning unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are there-
fore normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise 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 dehumidifi-
cation function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting func-
tion briefly, if required. The air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity of the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate 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 dur-
ing 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 par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. With automatic climate
control, gaseous pollutants and odors will
also be reduced. A clogged filter reduces
the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason, you should always
observe the interval for replacing the filter,
which is specified in the Service Booklet.
As this depends on environmental condi-
tions, for example heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Service Booklet.

fore, only deactivate the "Cooling with air
dehumidification" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning. The air inside the vehicle is cooled and
dehumidified according to the temperature
selected.

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.
