Manual operation
Fan speed control:
Push the fan speed increase“
”or
decrease “”buttons to manually con-
trol the fan speed.
Push the “AUTO” button to return to
automatic control of the fan speed.
Temperature control:
Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature.
. The temperature can be set within the
following range.
— For U.S.: 60 to 908F
— For Canada: 18 to 328C
Air flow control:
Pushing the “MODE” manual air flow
control button selects the air outlet to:
: Air flows from center and side ventilators.
: Air flows from center and side ventilators and foot outlets.
: Air flows mainly from foot outlets.
: Air flows from defroster and foot outlets.
Air recirculation:
Push the intake air control button to
recirculate interior air inside the vehicle.
The indicator light on the “
”button will illuminate.
The air recirculation mode cannot be
activated when the air conditioner is in
the front defrosting mode
“
”.
Outside air circulation:
Push the intake air control button to draw
outside air into the passenger compart-
ment. The indicator light on the “
”
button will turn off and “”(if so
equipped) will illuminate.
Automatic intake air control:
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be
controlled automatically.
. Without Advanced Climate Control Sys-
tem:
— When the outside air circulation
mode is on, push and hold the
“
” intake air control button.
— When the air recirculation mode is
on, push and hold the “
”air
recirculation button.
When setting the automatic control
mode, both indicator lights will blink
twice indicating that the system is in
the automatic control mode.
. With Advanced Climate Control System:
To return to the automatic control mode, push the
“
”auto-recircula-
tion button. The indicator light on the
“
” auto-recirculation button will
illuminate.
Turning the system off
Push the OFF button.
Upper vent system
When the upper vent “”button is
pushed, the air flow against the driver’s
or passenger’s upper body becomes gen-
tle. The indicator light on the button will
illuminate.
In this mode, air from the upper ventilator
flows in order to control the cabin tem-
perature without blowing air directly on the
occupants.
Push the upper vent “
”button when
you want the air conditioner to work
quickly.
To turn the system off, push the upper vent
“
” button to turn the indicator light off.
Advanced Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the ion control and the automatic air

intake control with exhaust gas detecting
sensor.
SAA2734
Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into the air blown
from the ventilators and reduces odor
absorbed into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions
automatically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “
”.
Plasmacluster®and Plasmacluster®ion

poration.
Exhaust gas/outside odor detection sen-
sor:
This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust
gas detection sensor. When the automatic
intake air control is ON, the sensor detects
industry odors such as pulp or chemicals,
and exhaust gas such as gasoline or
diesel. When such odors or gas are
detected, the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the auto-recirculation button is
pushed under the following conditions,
the indicator light on the “
”button will
illuminate and the exhaust gas detection
sensor will turn on.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on
the “
”front defroster button is
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-43

4-44Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
turned off).
. The outside temperature is about 328F
(08C) or more.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, for the first 5 minutes, the recircula-
tion mode is selected to prevent dust, dirt
and pollen from entering the vehicle and
cleans the air inside of the vehicle with
positive and negative ions that are emitted
from the ventilator.
After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects
exhaust gas and automatically alternates
between the recirculation mode and out-
side air circulation mode.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-45

4-48Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-
ing many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off
objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves awayfrom a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by lowering the treble
setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct
and reflected signals reach the receiver at
the same time. The signals may cancel
each other, resulting in momentary flutter
or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics.
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur
for several seconds during ionospheric
turbulence even in areas where no obsta-

cles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
Satellite radio reception:
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This
is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with the satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large
building for the satellite radio to receive
all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The
satellite radio is not available in Alaska,
Hawaii and Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
