NOTE
The “Windshield demisting” function auto-
matically sets the blower output to the opti-
mum demisting effect. As a result, the air-
flow may increase or decrease automatically
after the
button is pressed
NOTE
You can adjust the blower output manually
while the “Windshield demisting” function is
in operation: by adjusting the airflow control
for the air-conditioning or climate control
system (see "Heater and air conditioner").
To deactivate the de-icer:
•Press thebutton. The indicator light
in thebutton turns off. The previous
settings are reactivated. Air-recirculation
mode remains deactivated.
or
•Automatic climate control: press the
button. The indicator light in the
button turns off. Airflow and air dis-
tribution are set to automatic mode.
or
•Air-conditioning system or automatic cli-
mate control: adjust the temperature con-
trol (see "Heater and air conditioner").

Active light function
The active light function is a system that
moves the headlights according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this
way relevant areas remain illuminated while
you are driving. This helps you to recognize
pedestrians, cyclists and animals. It is active
when the lights are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the il-
lumination of the road over a wide angle in
the direction you are turning, enabling better
visibility in tight bends, for example. It can
only be activated when the low-beam head-
lights are switched on. It is active if you are
driving at speeds below 25 MPH (40 km/h)
and switch on the turn signal or turn the
steering wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for
a short time, but is automatically switched off
after no longer than three minutes.
Freeway mode
Freeway mode adjusts the light beam to re-
duce the amount of light that shines on the
opposite lane of the freeway, and oncoming
traffic.
Freeway mode is active if you are driving at a
speed above 68 MPH (110 km/h) and do not
make any large steering movements for at
least 3300 ft (1000 m) or if you are driving at
a speed above 81 MPH (130 km/h).
It is not active if you are driving at speeds
below 50 MPH (80 km/h) following activa-
tion.

WARNING
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models manu-
factured after April 1, 1982). A garage
door opener which cannot detect an ob-
ject in the path of a closing garage door
and then automatically stop and re-
verse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.
•During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
•Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver.NOTE
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener.
If you have difficulty programing the inte-
grated garage door opener, it is recom-
mended you contact your INFINITI retailer.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

The displayed guidelines and their locations

projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in
the monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to
illustrations). When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or
park and exit the vehicle to view the position-
ing of objects behind the vehicle.

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
during warm weather. This will speed up
the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior 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 al-
ways observe the interval for replacing
the filter, which is specified in the Service
Booklet. As this depends on environmen-
tal conditions, for example heavy air pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Service Booklet.

Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the ve-
hicle will not be cooled. The air inside the
vehicle will also not be dehumidified. The
windows can mist up more quickly. There-
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.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This
is normal and not a sign that there is a mal-
function.
To activate:
Press the
button The indicator light in
thebutton lights up.
To deactivate:
Press the
button. The indicator light in
thebutton goes out. The cooling with
air dehumidification function has a delayed
switch-off feature.Problems with the "Cooling with air dehu-
midification" function:
Problem:The indicator light in the
but-
ton flashes three times or remains off. The
cooling with air dehumidification function
cannot be activated.
Cause and solution:The cooling with air de-
humidification function has been deactivated
due to a malfunction. Have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Setting the temperature
You can set the temperature for the entire
vehicle. The set temperature is automatically
maintained at a constant level.
To increase or reduce the temperature: turn
control
1counterclockwise or clockwise.
Only change the temperature setting in small
increments. Start at 70° F (22° C).
Setting the air distribution
Directs the airflow through the demis-
ter ventilators.
Directs the airflow through the center
and side air ventilators.
Directs the airflow through the foot-
well air ventilators.
