Thebutton will be on the INFINITI In-
telligent Key if the vehicle has Remote Engine
Start. This feature allows the engine to start
from outside the vehicle.
The following features may be affected
when Remote Engine Start is used:
∙ Vehicles with an automatic climate con- trol system will default to either a heating
or cooling mode depending on outside
and cabin temperatures. For additional
information, refer to “Remote Engine
Start with Intelligent Climate Control” in
the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems” section of this
manual. Laws in some local communities may restrict
the use of remote starters. For example,
some laws require a person using Remote
Engine Start to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any requirements.
Other conditions may affect the function of
the Remote Engine Start feature. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Conditions the
Remote Engine Start will not work” in this
section.
Other conditions can affect the performance
of the Intelligent Key transmitter. For addi-

REMOTE ENGINE START
OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, including entrapment in win-
dows or inadvertent door lock activation,
do not leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside 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.
CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave sources
are present near the operating location, 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.

NOTE:∙ Odors from inside and outside the vehicle can 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
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, in-
take air control, and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
1. Press the AUTO button on. (The indica- tor on the button will illuminate and
AUTO will be displayed.)
2. Operate the driver’s side temperature control buttons.
∙ Adjust the temperature display to about 75°F (24°C) for normal operation. ∙ The temperature of the passenger com-
partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution, intake air con-
trol, and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators 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 control but- tons to set the desired temperature.
∙ To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, use the
fan speed
control buttons 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 auto-
matically be turned on at outside tem-
peratures above 36°F (2°C). The air recir-
culate mode automatically turns off,
allowing outside air to be drawn into the
passenger compartment to further im-
prove 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 and heated steering wheel (if
so equipped) may be activated automatically.

the engine, release the accelerator
pedal. Crank the engine with your foot
off the accelerator pedal by depress-
ing the brake pedal and pushing the
ignition switch to start the engine. If
the engine starts, but fails to run, re-
peat the above procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than
15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not
start, push the ignition switch to the OFF
position and wait 10 seconds before crank-
ing again, otherwise the starter could be
damaged.4. Warm-up:
Allow the engine to idle for at least
30 seconds after starting. Do not race
the engine while warming it up. Drive at a
moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather. In cold
weather, keep the engine running for a
minimum of2-3minutes before shut-
ting it off. Starting and stopping the en-
gine over a short period of time may
make the vehicle more difficult to start.
5. To stop the engine, place the shift lever in the P (Park) position and push the
ignition switch to the OFF position. NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of elec-
tronic accessories that consume battery
power when the engine is not running
(phone chargers, GPS, DVD players,
etc.).
2. The vehicle is not driven regularly
and/or only driven short distances. In
these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
REMOTE ENGINE START (if so
equipped)
Vehicles started with the Remote Engine
Start require the ignition switch to be placed
in the ON position before the shift lever can
be moved from the P (Park) position. To place
the ignition switch in the ON position, follow
these steps:
1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is on you.
2. Apply the brake.
3. Push the ignition switch once to the ON position. For additional information, refer to “INFINITI
Intelligent Key” in the “Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section of this manual.
