CAUTION
• The battery could run down if the climate
control seat is operated while the engine
is not running.
• Do not use the climate control seat for
extended periods or when no one is using
the seat.
• Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket, cush-
ion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat
may become overheated.
• Do not place anything hard or heavy on
the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
objects. This may result in damage to the
climate controlled seat.
• Any liquid spilled on the seat should be
removed immediately with a dry cloth.
• When cleaning the seat, never use gaso-
line, benzine, thinner, or any similar
materials.
• If any malfunctions are found or the cli-
mate controlled seat does not operate,
turn the switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. The climate controlled seat cools down the
front seat by blowing cool air from under the
surface of the seat. The climate control
switch is located on the center console.
The climate controlled seat can be operated
as follows:
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON
position.
2. Push the climate controlled seat switches to cool the seat. The indicator light on the
corresponding switch will illuminate.
3. Adjust the desired amount of air by push- ing the switch again. The climate con-
trolled seat blower remains on low speed
for approximately 60 seconds after push-
ing the switch on.
4. When the vehicle's interior is warmed or cooled, or before you leave the vehicle, be
sure to turn off the climate controlled
seats. To turn off the climate controlled
seats, push the switch until the indicator
light does not illuminate.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
seat heater if you or the occupants cannot
monitor elevated seat temperatures or
have an inability to feel pain in body parts
that contact the seat. Use of the seat
heater by such people could result in seri-
ous injury.

WARNING
• The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acci-
dentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere 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.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.

NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the vehiclecan build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
• 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
AUTOMATIC OPERATION

control mode that keeps the air distribution,
temperature and the fan speed automatically.
Cooling and/or dehumidified
heating (AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as the
system automatically works to keep a con-
stant temperature. Air flow distribution, air
intake control, and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
1. Press the
CLIMATE button on the
lower display menu. The CLIMATE screen
will display on the lower display.
2. Press the AUTO button on. (The indicator on the button will illuminate and AUTO
will be displayed on the CLIMATE screen.) 3. Press the

buttons on the driver’s side to set the de-
sired temperature.
• The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automatically.
Air flow distribution, air intake control and
fan speed are also controlled automatically.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
Dehumidified defrosting or
defogging
1. Press thefront defroster button on.
(The indicator light on the button will
come on.)
2. Operate the
temperature con-
trol buttons to set the desired

trol button or the “” key to set the fan
speed to maximum.
• As soon as possible after the windshield is clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the automatic mode. • When the
front defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
approximately 32°F (0°C) to defog the
windshield. The air recirculate mode auto-
matically turns off, allowing outside air to
be drawn into the passenger compartment
to further improve the defogging
performance.
Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control (if so
equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate
controls and Remote Engine Start function
may go into automatic heating or cooling
mode when Remote Engine Start is activated
depending on outside and cabin tempera-
tures. During this period, the climate control
display and buttons will be inoperable until
the ignition switch is turned on. In Remote
Engine Start defrosting mode, the rear win-
dow defroster, heated seat (if so equipped)
and heated steering wheel (if so equipped)
may be activated automatically. In Remote
Engine Start cooling mode, the climate con-
trolled seat (if so equipped) may be activated
automatically.

Heated seats (if so equipped)
Touch the “Heated seat” key on the
CLIMATE screen on the lower display to turn
the heated seats on or off. When the heated
seats are on, the indicator light is on.
Steering wheel heater (if so
equipped)
The heated steering wheel system is de-
signed to operate only when the surface tem-
perature of the steering wheel is below 68°F
(20°C).
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on
to maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C). The indicator light will remain on as
long as the system is on.
Touch the “
Steering Heater” key on the
CLIMATE screen on the lower display to turn
the steering wheel heater on or off. When the
steering wheel heater is on, the indicator light
is on.
NOTE:
• Once activated, your heated steering
wheel will automatically turn on and off to
maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C), or after 30 minutes.
• When the temperature of the steering
wheel is above 122°F (50°C) and the
heated steering wheel is turned on, the
system will not heat the steering wheel.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
Automatic Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Automatic Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using
the automatic air recirculation control with
the exhaust gas/outside odor detecting sen-
sor with ion control.
O1“Auto Recirc” key
Touch to turn on the automatic recirculation
mode.
O2Plasmacluster® icon
Indicates the Plasmacluster® ion emission
status.
Ion control:
The Automatic Climate Control System unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter® ions into the air blown from the ventila-
tors to reduce odor absorbed into the interior
trim and to suppress airborne bacteria. The
high-density Plasmacluster®ions also have a
proven skin moisture preserving effect.
