The climate controlled seat warms up or
cools down the front seats by blowing warm
or cool air from the surface of the seat. The
switches located on the instrument panel
can be operated independently of each
other.
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the control knob
to the heat sideor to the cool side. The indicator
lighton the control knob will illumi-
nate.
3. Adjust the temperature using the control knob
.
4. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed or cooled, and/or before you leave the
vehicle, be sure to turn the control knob to the OFF position (center). The indi-
cator light
on the control knob goes
off at the OFF position.
To check the air filter for the climate
controlled seat, it is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
seat heater if you or the occupants
cannot monitor elevated seat tempera-
tures or have an inability to feel pain in
body parts that contact the seat. Use of
the seat heater by such people could
result in serious injury.
CAUTION
. The battery could run down if the
climate controlled seat is operated
while the engine is not running.
. Do not use the climate controlled 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 blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. 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 climate con-
trolled seat without an air filter. This
may result in damage to the system.
. When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar ma-
terials.
. If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not op-
erate, turn the switch off and have
the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.

WARNING
.The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
. Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. On
hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driving so
that full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
Start the engine and operate the automatic
climate control system.
NOTE:
. Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the ventilators. .
When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CON-
TROL
Automatic operation
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating
(AUTO):
This mode may be used all year round. The
system works automatically to control the
inside temperature, air flow distribution and
fan speed after the preferred temperature is
set manually.
1. Push the “AUTO” button on. (The in-dicator on the button will illuminate and
AUTO will be displayed.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial (driver side) to set the desired temperature.
The temperature of the passenger com-
partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution and fan speed
will also be controlled automatically.
3. You can individually set driver and front passenger side temperature using each
temperature control button. When the
“DUAL” button is pushed or the passen-
ger side temperature control button is
turned, the DUAL indicator will come on.
To turn off the passenger side tempera-
ture control, push the “DUAL” button.
4. To turn off the climate control system, push the “OFF” button. 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. Push the “” front defroster button.
(The indicator light on the button will
illuminate.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
. To quickly remove ice from the outside of
the windows, push the fan speed in-
crease button “
” and set it to the
maximum position.
. As soon as possible after the windshield
is clean, push the “AUTO” button to
return to the auto mode.
. When the “
” front defroster button is
pushed, the air conditioner will automa-
tically be turned on at outside tempera-
tures above 23°F (−5°C) to defog the
windshield, and the air recirculate mode
will automatically be turned off.
Outside air is drawn into the passenger
compartment to improve the defogging
performance.
Manual operation
Fan speed control:
Push the fan speed increase “
”or
decrease “” buttons to manually control
the fan speed.
Push the “AUTO” button to return to auto-
matic control of the fan speed.
Temperature control:
Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature.
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 intake control (Without Advanced Cli-
mate Control System):
. Push the “
” air recirculation button to
recirculate interior air inside the vehicle.
The “
” indicator light on the button
will come on. The air recirculation mode
cannot be activated when the air condi-
