WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
climate controlled seats if you or the occu-
pants cannot monitor seat temperatures
or have an inability to feel pain in those
body parts in contact with the seat. Use of
the climate controlled seats by such people
could result in serious injury.
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.

LOG-IN FUNCTION
After setting up the user information, the
system will automatically recognize the user
upon turning on the vehicle.
There will be a personalized welcome greet-
ing and screen prompt to log in.
This feature allows four drivers to use their
own registration, drive mode, driving posi-
tion, air conditioner, and auto settings and
memorizes these custom settings.
The log-in user can be changed on the wel-
come greeting screen or the User List screen.
For additional information, refer to the sepa-
rate INFINITI InTouch™ Owner’s Manual.
The log-in function is linked to the following
features:
• Meter
• Audio
• Navigation system display (if so equipped)
• Navigation settings (if so equipped)
• Air conditioner
• Memory seat (if so equipped)
• Engine/Transmission
• Steering
• Active Trace Control
• Active Engine Brake• Head Up Display (HUD) (if so equipped)
• Vehicle Setting
• Driver assistance (if so equipped) except for
the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB)
with Pedestrian Detection system

Intelligent Key if the vehicle has Remote En-
gine Start. This feature allows the engine to
start from outside the vehicle.
Vehicles with an automatic climate control
system may default to either a heating or
cooling mode depending on outside and
cabin temperatures. For additional informa-
tion, see “Remote Engine Start with Intelli-
gent Climate Control” (P. 4-34).
Laws in some local communities may restrict
or prohibit the use of Remote Engine Start, or
the amount of time a parked vehicle engine
may idle. For example, some laws require a
person using Remote Engine Start to have

REMOTE ENGINE START
OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
• To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets. •
Do not use Remote Engine Start in closed
spaces such as a garage. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.
CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating lo-
cation, the Intelligent Key operating range
becomes narrower, and the Intelligent Key
may not function properly.
The Remote Engine Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
The Remote Engine Start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE
VEHICLE
To use the Remote Engine Start feature per-
form the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Press the
button to lock all doors.
3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the
button until the turn signal lights flash and
the tail lamps turn on. If the vehicle is not
within view press and hold the
but-
ton for at least 2 seconds.
The following events will occur when the en-
gine starts:
• The parking lights will turn on and remain on as long as the engine is running.
• The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.
• The engine will continue to run for 10 min- utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time
for an additional 10 minutes. For additional
information, see “Extending engine run
time” (P. 3-20).
Press and hold the brake pedal while switch-
ing the ignition to the ON position before
driving. For additional information, see “Driv-
ing the vehicle” (P. 5-18).

Linking log-in function to a stored
memory position
The log-in function can be linked to a stored
memory position with the following
procedure.
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi-tion while carrying the Intelligent Key that
was registered to the vehicle with a log-in
function.
NOTE:Make sure the Intelligent Keys are far apart.
Otherwise, the vehicle may detect the
wrong Intelligent Key.
2. Adjust the position of the driver’s seat, steering column and outside mirrors. For
additional information, see “Seats”
(P. 1-2), “Steering wheel” (P. 3-32) and
“Outside mirrors” (P. 3-35).
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
The next time you log in (selecting the user on
the display) after placing the ignition switch in
the ON position while carrying the Intelligent
Key, the system will automatically adjust to
the memorized driving position. For additional information, see the separate
INFINITI InTouch™ Owner’s Manual and
“Log-in function” (P. 3-18).
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver's
seat and steering column will automatically
move when the vehicle is engaged in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to easily
get in and out of the driver’s seat.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering column will move up when the igni-
tion is switched to OFF and the driver’s door
is opened.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will re-
turn to the previous position when the igni-
tion is switched to ON.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through the “Comfort & Conve-
nience” options of the “Settings” menu in the
lower touch-screen display by performing the
following:
• Switch the Lift Steering upon Exit from ON
to OFF.
• Switch the Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit from ON to OFF.
For additional information, refer to the sepa-
rate INFINITI InTouch™ Owner’s Manual.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the stored memory positions will
be lost and some of the functions will be
restricted:
1. Drive the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h).
OR
2. Open and close the driver's door more than two times with the ignition switch in
the OFF position.
The entry/exit function should now work
properly.

linked to the Intelligent Key and the memo-
rized settings can be available for each Intel-
ligent Key.
• Climate control system
• Navigation system
• Audio system
