SET/memory switches
The automatic drive positioner system has
three features:
. Entry/exit function
. Memory storage
. Setting memory function
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and steering column will automatically
move when the automatic transmission shift
lever is in the P (Park) position. This allows
the driver to get into and out of the driver’s
seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition
switch in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ACC posi-
tion.
The driver’s seat will not return to the
previous positions if the seat or steering
adjusting switch is operated when the seat is
at the exit position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit func-
tion
The shift lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
The entry/exit function can be activated or
canceled by pressing and holding the SET
switch for more than 10 seconds.
The entry/exit function can also be acti-
vated or canceled if the “Lift Steering upon Exit” key or “Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit”
key is turned to ON or OFF in the [Settings]
menu on the lower display. (See INFINITI
InTouch
TMOwner’s Manual.)
Initialize entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the entry/exit function will not
work though this function was set on before.
In such a case, after connecting the battery
or replacing with a new fuse, open and close
the driver’s door more than two times after
the ignition switch is turned from the ON
position to the LOCK position. The entry/
exit function will be activated.
MEMORY STORAGE
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steering
column and outside mirrors can be stored in
the automatic drive positioner memory.
Follow these procedures to use the memory
system.
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)
position.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering column and outside mirrors to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each adjust-
ing switch. For additional information,
see “Seats” (P.1-3) and “Tilt/telescopic
steering” (P.3-29) and “Outside mirrors”
(P.3-36).
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-39
AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER

4-32Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
automatically change from the fresh air
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the automatic air circulation control
mode 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.
NOTE:
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
.The air flow control is not in the wind-
shield defrosting mode (the indicator
light on the “
” front defroster but-
ton is turned off).
. The outside temperature is approxi-
mately 32 °F (0 °C) or above.
Ion control:
The Advanced Climate Control system unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter
®ions into the air blown from the
ventilators to reduce odor absorbed into
the interior trim and to suppress airborne
bacteria. The high-density Plasmacluster
®
ions also have a proven skin moisture
preserving effect. The Plasmacluster
®icon on the Climate
screen indicates the status of the Plas-
macluster
®ion emission from the system
and changes with the amount of the air flow.
REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDI-
TIONING SYSTEM
The front air conditioning system must be
turned on to activate the rear air condition-
ing system.
The rear air conditioning system can be
operated with the buttons on the front air
conditioner control panel, the touch panel
screen and the buttons on the rear air
conditioner control panel at the rear of the
center console.
To turn on and off the rear air conditioning
system from the front seats, touch the “Rear
CLIMATE” key on the Climate screen and
then touch the “ON/OFF” key on the Rear
climate screen.
When the Rear climate screen is displayed,
the rear air conditioning system can also be
controlled on the front air conditioner con-
trol panel. (See “Automatic air conditioner”
(P.4-28).)
The front air conditioner control panel
cannot be used to operate the front air
conditioning system when the Rear climate
screen is shown on the lower display. To use
the front air conditioner control panel for the front air conditioning system operation,
push the CLIMATE button or touch the
“
” key on the Rear climate screen so that
the Rear climate screen is not shown on the
lower display. (See “Operations on touch
panel screen” (P.4-30).)
This table shows the relation between the
front air conditioner control panel and the
rear air conditioner control panel.

Occasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using a
vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe
the vinyl and leather surfaces with a clean,
soft cloth dampened in mild soap solution,
then wipe clean with a dry soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order
to maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Some
fabric protectors contain chemicals that
may stain or bleach the seat material.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to
clean the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can
damage the seat or occupant classifica-
tion sensors. This can also affect the
operation of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION
.Never use benzine, thinner, or any
similar material. .
For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dam-
pened with water. Never use a rough
cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or any
kind of solvent or paper towel with a
chemical cleaning agent. They will
scratch or cause discoloration to the
lens.
. Do not spray any liquid such as water
on the meter lens. Spraying liquid
may cause the system to malfunction.
. Small dirt particles can be abrasive
and damaging to the leather surfaces
and should be removed promptly. Do
not use saddle soap, car waxes,
polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, sol-
vents, detergents or ammonia-based
cleaners as they may damage the
leather’s natural finish.
. Only use fabric protectors approved
by INFINITI.
. Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may
damage the lens cover.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could
affect the vehicle interior. If you use an air
freshener, take the following precautions:
.Hanging-type air fresheners can cause
permanent discoloration when they con-
tact vehicle interior surfaces. Place the
air freshener in a location that allows it
to hang free and not contact an interior
surface.
. Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip
on the vents. These products can cause
immediate damage and discoloration
when spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions before using air fresh-
eners.
SUEDE MATERIAL (LIMITED
models)
