An air vent is located on the rear side trim panels
Ato cool the high-voltage battery. If the vent is
covered, the battery will overheat resulting in
reduced output performance of the hybrid sys-
tem. For additional information, refer to “Lithium-
ion (Li-ion) battery air vent” in the “Appearance
and care” section of this manual.
You may hear the noise of the cooling fan from the
air vent.
CAUTION
Do not place objects over or into the air
vent. The Li-ion battery or DC/DC con-
verter may overheat and be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not load large amounts of water in
open containers (aquariums or buckets)
into the vehicle. If the water spills onto the
Li-ion battery, it may cause a short circuit
and damage the battery, Li-ion battery, or
DC/DC converter.
Noise and vibration
After the hybrid system is activated, the following
noises and vibrations that are unique to the hy-
brid system may occur. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
● Electric motor noise from the engine com-
partment
● Noise from the rear of the vehicle when the
hybrid system activates or deactivates
● Noise and vibration when the gasoline en-
gine starts running or stops
● Operating noise or electric motor noise
when releasing the accelerator pedal or de-
pressing the brake pedal
● Engine noise due to rapid acceleration
● Fan noise from the air inlet located on the
rear parcel shelf
● Noise from the climate control system ●
Noise from the vehicle in order to alert pe-
destrians to the presence of an approaching
vehicle. For additional information, refer to
“Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestri-
ans (VSP) system” in this section.

WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
climate controlled seats if you or the oc-
cupants can not monitor seat tempera-
tures 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 cli-
mate 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
● The climate controlled seat has an air
filter. Do not operate the climate con-
trolled seat without an air filter. This
may result in damage to the system.
● When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any simi-
lar materials.
● If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not oper-
ate, 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 warms up or cools
down the front seat by blowing warm or 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. Start the hybrid system.
2. Turn the control knob
Ato the heat side1
or the cool side2. The indicator lightBon
the control knob will illuminate.
3. Adjust the desired amount of air using the control knob. The climate controlled seat
blower remains on low speed for approxi-
mately 60 seconds after turning the switch
on or selecting the desired temperature.
4. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed or cooled, or before you leave the vehicle, be
sure to turn the control knob to the OFF
(center) position. The indicator light
Bon
the control knob goes off with the switch in
the OFF (center) position.
To check the air filter for the climate controlled
seat, it is recommended that you contact an
INFINITI retailer.

Thebutton will be on the INFINITI Intelli-
gent Key if the vehicle has remote hybrid start.
This feature allows the hybrid system to start from
outside the vehicle.
The following features may be affected when the
remote start feature is used:
● Vehicles with an automatic climate control
system will default to either a heating or
cooling mode depending on the outside
temperature.
● Vehicles without automatic climate control
will default to the last used heating or cool-
ing mode. Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local regulations for any
requirements.
Other conditions may affect the function of the
remote hybrid start feature. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Conditions the remote start will
not work” in this section.
Other conditions can affect the performance of
the Intelligent Key transmitter. For additional in-
formation, refer to “INFINITI Intelligent Key Sys-
tem” in this section.REMOTE HYBRID START
OPERATING RANGE
The remote hybrid start function can only be used
when the Intelligent Key is within the specified
operating range from the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
other strong radio wave sources are present near
the operating location, the Intelligent Key operat-
ing range becomes narrower, and the Intelligent
Key may not function properly.
The remote hybrid system start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE
To use the remote start feature to start the hybrid
system perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Press the
LOCK button to lock all
doors.
3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the
remote start button until the turn signal lights
flash and the tail lamps turn on. If the vehicle
is not within view press and hold the
remote start button for at least 2 seconds.
The following events will occur when the hybrid
system starts:
● The parking lights will turn on and remain on
as long as the hybrid system is running.
● The doors will be locked and the climate
control system may come on.
● The hybrid system will continue to run for
10 minutes. Repeat the steps to extend the
time for an additional 10 minutes. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Extending hybrid
system run time” in this section.
Depress and hold the brake then push the push-
button ignition switch to the ON position beforeLPD2272

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.
SETTING MEMORY FUNCTION
The position of the following settings can be
linked to the Intelligent Key and the memorized
settings can be available for each Intelligent Key. ● Climate control system
● Navigation system (if so equipped)
● Audio system
To use the memory function, set the climate,
navigation and audio systems to the driver’s pre-
ferred settings. Lock the doors with the Intelligent
Key. Each Intelligent Key may be set with the
driver’s individual preferences. When a new In-
telligent Key is used, “Connection with the key
has been done” will be displayed on the screen
and the memorized settings are available. To engage the memorized settings, perform the
following:
1. Carry the Intelligent Key that is linked to the memorized settings.
2. Unlock the doors by pushing the driver’s door handle request switch or the
UNLOCK
button on the Intelligent
Key.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON position. The settings linked to the Intelligent Key will
start.
For additional information on using the Climate
control system, refer to “Heater and air condi-
tioner (automatic)” in the “Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systems” section of
this manual.
For additional information on using the Naviga-
tion System, refer to the separate Navigation
System Owner’s Manual.
For additional information on using the Audio
system, refer to “Audio system” in the “Monitor,
climate, audio, phone and voice recognition sys-
tems” section of this manual.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions:
● When the vehicle speed is above 0 mph
(0 km/h) or 4 mph (7km/h) for some limited
functions such as linking a key fob to the
meter when the power source is turned on
from off or during the Exit function.
● When any of the memory switches are
pushed while the automatic drive positioner
is operating.
● When the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat and steering column is turned on while
the automatic drive positioner is operating.
