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
Press the AUTO button to set the automatic
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
temperature control
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

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

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)

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.

(20°C). The heated steering wheel will turn
off automatically after 30 minutes of use.
• 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

LHA5458
4-40Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

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.
The Plasmacluster® icon on the CLIMATE
screen indicates the status of the Plasma-
cluster® ion emission from the system and
changes with the amount of the air flow.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
The Automatic Climate Control System
comes with an exhaust gas detection/
outside odor sensor. When the automatic air
circulation control is activated, the sensor de-
tects odors outside the vehicle such as pulp or
chemicals, and exhaust such as gasoline or
diesel. When such odors or gases are de-
tected the display and the system automati-
cally change from fresh air mode to the recir-
culation mode.
When the automatic air recirculation is on, for
the first 5 minutes, the air recirculation mode
is selected to prevent dust, dirt, and pollen
from entering the vehicle and to clean the air
inside of the vehicle.After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between
the air recirculation mode and the fresh air
mode.
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
• The air flow control is not in the front de-
froster mode (the indicator light on the
front defroster button is turned off).
• The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C) or more.

4. ProPILOT Assist switchThe LDP system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h). When the vehicle
approaches either the left or the right side of
the traveling lane, the steering wheel will vi-
brate and the LDP indicator (orange) on the
instrument panel will blink to alert the driver.
Then, the LDP system will automatically ap-
ply the brakes for a short period of time to
help assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane.

Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as
follows:
1. Remove the mechanical key from the In-telligent Key.
2. Insert a small flathead screwdriver
OAinto
the slit
OBof the corner and twist it to
separate the upper part from the lower
part. Place a cloth over the screwdriver to
protect the casing. 3. Replace the battery with a new one.
Recommended battery: CR2032 or
equivalent.
• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric terminals as doing so could cause a
malfunction.
• Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the battery across the contact points will seri-
ously deplete the storage capacity.
• Make sure that the + side faces the bottom of the lower part.
4. Close the lid securely as illustrated with
OCandOD.
5. Operate the buttons to check the operation.
If you need assistance with replacement, it is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
