Voice Recognition logic
When the climate control system is on, the
front and rear fan speeds may be automati-
cally lowered so that commands are more
easily recognized. Fan speed can be adjusted
using the fan speed
decrease andincrease buttons, if desired.
MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control buttons
Press thefan speed control buttons to
manually control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to return to auto-
matic control of the fan speed.
Temperature control dial
The temperature control dial allows you to
adjust the temperature of the outlet air. To
lower the temperature, turn the dial to the
left. To increase the temperature, turn the
dial to the right. Temperature can be adjusted
on the driver’s and passenger’s side.
Air recirculation
Press theair recirculation button to
recirculate interior air inside the vehicle. The
indicator light on the button will come
on. The air recirculation cannot be activated
when the air conditioner is in the
front
defrosting mode.
When the outside temperature exceeds 70°F
(21°C), the air conditioning system may de-
fault to air recirculation mode automatically
to reduce overall power consumption. To exit
air recirculation mode, deselect the air recir-
culation button (indicator will turn off) to en-
ter fresh air mode.
Fresh air intake
Press thefresh air intake button to
draw outside air into the passenger
compartment.
A/C (air conditioner) button

control buttons to the desired position and
press the
button to turn on the air
conditioner. To turn off the air conditioner,
press the
button again.
The air conditioner cooling function oper-
ates only when the engine is running.
Air flow control
Press the MODE button to manually control
air flow. Pressing the button repeatedly will
cycle through the available modes and dis-
play the corresponding icon on the center
display:
— Air flows from center and side vents.
— Air flows from center and sidevents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outlets.— Air flows from defroster and footoutlets.
Synchronize climate settings
Press the SYNC button to synchronize cli-
mate settings. SYNC text will appear in the
Climate display.
When rear climate is off, pressing SYNC will
synchronize only driver's and front passen-
ger's climate settings. When rear climate is
on, pressing SYNC will synchronize driver,
front passenger, and rear temperature, fan,
mode, and auto settings.
To change climate settings when SYNC is
active (the SYNC text is displayed):
• The driver's side temperature control but-tons will control the driver, front passenger,
and rear (if rear climate is on) temperatures.

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the top center
of the instrument panel, helps the system
maintain a constant temperature. Do not put
anything on or around this sensor.
• When the climate system is in automaticoperation and the engine coolant tempera-
ture and outside air temperature are low,
the air flow outlet may default to defroster
mode for a maximum of 2 minutes 30 sec-
onds. This is not a malfunction. After the
engine coolant temperature warms up, the
air flow outlet will return to foot mode and
operation will continue normally.
LHA5540
4-32Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

• When the outside and interior cabin tem-peratures are moderate to high, the intake
setting may default to turn off air recircu-
lation to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. You may notice air flow
from the foot mode, bi-level mode, or side
demist vent outlets for a maximum of 15
seconds. This may occur when the previous
climate setting was turned off. This is not a
malfunction. After the initial warm air is
expelled, the intake will return to automatic
control, the air flow outlet will return to
previous settings, and operation will con-
tinue normally. To exit, press any climate
control button.
• Keep the moonroof closed while the air conditioner is in operation.
• If you feel that the air flow mode you have selected and the outlets the air is coming
out do not match, select the
mode.
• When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the foot outlets for
just a moment. This is not 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. Touch the
recircu-
lation switch to activate.
Ion control (if so equipped):
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 Plasmacluster® icon on the Climate dis-
play indicates the status of the Plasmaclus-
ter® 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
(if so equipped):
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 changes from fresh air mode to the re-
circulation 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.

vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth's
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is
required when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to your
air conditioner system. For additional infor-
mation, see “Air conditioner system refriger-
ant and oil recommendations” (P. 10-7).
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer to service your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioner system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment. The vehicle is equipped with a shark fin an-
tenna and an antenna pattern is printed in-
side the rear window.
CAUTION
• Do not place metalized film near the rear
window glass or attach any metal parts
to it. This may cause poor reception or
noise.
• When cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to scratch or damage
the rear window antenna. Lightly wipe
along the antenna with a dampened soft
cloth.

When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone
in your vehicle, be sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions; otherwise, the new equip-
ment may adversely affect the engine control
system and other electronic parts.
WARNING
• A cellular phone should not be used for
any purpose while driving so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of
cellular phones while driving.
• If you must make a call while your vehicle
is in motion, the hands free cellular phone
operational mode is highly recom-
mended. Exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
• If you are unable to devote full attention
to vehicle operation while talking on the
phone, pull off the road to a safe location
and stop your vehicle.
CAUTION
• Keep the antenna as far away as possible
from the electronic control modules.
• Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic control
system harnesses. Do not route the an-
tenna wire next to any harness.
• Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio
as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.
• For additional information, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for servicing. “Made for iPod”, “Made for iPhone” and
