INFOID:0000000006275875
ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM) : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006275876
 ACCS (advanced climate control system) controls pass enger room air. It maintains the cleanliness of the
passenger room air using an in-cabin microfilter and a combination of each of the following functions.
- HAC-28, "
ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONT ROL SYSTEM) : Automatic Intake Control (Exhaust Gas /
Outside Odor Detecting Mechanism)"
-HAC-29, "ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM) : Plasmacluster Control"
NOTE:
 Plasmacluster
™ ion technology developed by Sharp Corporation is installed in this item.
 Plasmacluster
™ is a trademark of Sharp Corporation.
 Various operations of ACCS (advanced climate contro l system) are transmitted from preset switch to AV
control unit via communication line and from AV contro l unit to A/C auto amp. via CAN communication. A/C
auto amp. sends each indication information to AV c ontrol unit via CAN communication. AV control unit dis-
plays each indication information that is received.
ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTE M) : Automatic Intake Control (Ex-
haust Gas / Outside Odor Detecting Mechanism)
INFOID:0000000006275877
DESCRIPTION
In addition to air inlet automatic control of front automatic air conditioning system, A/C auto amp. controls
automatically air inlet according to signal from ex haust gas / outside odor detecting sensor, so that unpleasant
outside odor does not enter in passenger room.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
 When pressing auto intake switch while front blower motor is operated and DEF switch is OFF, auto intake switch indicator lamp and intake switch indicator lamp turn ON. Air inlet is fixed to recirculation for approxi-
mately 5 minutes, and then is switched to automatic intake control (exhaust gas / outside odor detecting
mechanism).
 Air inlet switches to recirculation when exhaust gas or outside odor is detected while automatic intake control
(exhaust gas / outside odor detecting mechanism) is operated. After that, air inlet switches to fresh air intake
when exhaust gas or outside odor becomes not detectable.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) fluid /oil at every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(2) Automatic transmission fluid is maintenance-free.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” unde r the “General maintenance” heading earlier in this section.

NOTE:
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts i
f found
damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(2) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
(3) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000
km) or 60 months. Use only Genu ine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coo lant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-
freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
(4) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perfo rm
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and inter vals are
required.
