The power outlet is used for powering elec-
trical accessories such as a cellular telephone.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-
board voltage does not drop too low. If the
on board voltage is too low, the power to the
sockets is automatically cut. This ensures that
there is sufficient power to start the engine.
CAUTION
•The outlet and plug may be hot during or
immediately after use.
•Only certain power outlets are designed
for use with a cigarette lighter unit. Do
not use any other power outlet for an
accessory lighter. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for additional
information.
•Do not use with accessories that exceed
a 12 volt, 180W (15A) power draw. Do
not use double adapters or more than
one electrical accessory.
•Use this power outlet with the engine
running to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
•Avoid using when the air conditioner,

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".)
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.
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.

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 posi-
tion 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 de-
vice (which may have caused the interfer-
ence) 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.
