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 pre-
serving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions auto-
matically.

Exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust gas
detection sensor. When the automatic in-
take 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

off).
. The outside temperature is about 32°F
(0°C) or more.
When the automatic intake air control is ON,
for the first 5 minutes, the recirculation
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 outside
air circulation mode.

an in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt,
pollen, dust, etc.
Models with Advanced Climate Control
System:
The climate control system is equipped with
a natural grape seed polyphenol filter which
collects and neutralizes dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace
the filter in accordance with the specified
maintenance intervals listed in the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section. If replace-
ment is required, it is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will
not harm the earth’s ozone layer. However,
special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage to your climate control
system. (See “Capacities and recommended
fluids/lubricants” (P.10-2) for climate con-
trol system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate control
system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under
high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician
with the proper equipment.

the proper operation of the TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow.
. Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor recep-
tion of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some examples
are:
. Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequencies
is being used in or near the vehicle. .
If a computer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
Low tire pressure warning light may illumi-
nate in the following cases.
. If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel
and tire without TPMS.
. If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID
has not been registered.
. If the wheel is not originally specified by
INFINITI.
