INFINITI QX80 2020 Owners Manual

— When camera orientation is not inits usual position, such as when
mirror is folded.
— When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
— When the position of the moving objects in the display is not chan-
ged.
. The MOD system might detect flow-
ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed,
direction, distance or shape of the
moving objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the
sensing zone may be altered and the
MOD system may not detect objects
properly.
. When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not
display objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
.Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of
the cameras
, the MOD system may not
operate properly. Clean the camera by
wiping with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild cleaning agent and then wiping with a
dry cloth.

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 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 operation (AUTO)
The AUTO mode may be used year-round as
the system automatically controls the air
conditioner to a constant temperature, air
flow distribution and fan speed after the
desired temperature is set manually.
Cooling and dehumidified heating (AUTO):

” front defroster button
is pushed, the air conditioner will auto-
matically be turned on at outside tem-
peratures above 23°F (-5°C) to defog
the windshield, and the air recirculate
mode will automatically be turned off.

(See “DUAL mode setting” (P.4-31).)

.“A/C”
Touch to turn the air conditioner on/off.
(See “Automatic operation (AUTO)”
(P.4-28).)
. “Auto Recirc” (if so equipped)
Touch to turn the auto-recirculation
mode on/off. (See “Advanced Climate
Control System” (P.4-31).)
. “Upper Vent”
Touch to turn the upper vent system on/
off. (See “Upper vent system ” (P.4-31).)
DUAL mode setting
Touch the "DUAL" key on the Climate screen
to turn on/off the DUAL mode. When the
DUAL mode is set, the temperature for the
driver seat and the front passenger seat can
be adjusted independently. When the DUAL
mode is on, the indicator light is on and
“DUAL” appears.
Upper vent system
When the “Upper Vent” key on the Climate
screen is touched, the air flow against the
driver’s or passenger’s upper body becomes
gentle. The indicator light on the key will
illuminate.
In this mode, air from the upper ventilator
flows in order to control the cabin tempera-
ture without blowing air directly on the
occupants. The upper vent system is useful when you
want the air conditioner to work quickly.
To turn the system off, touch the “Upper
Vent” key 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 automatic air circulation control
with the exhaust gas/outside odor detection
sensor and with ion control.
WAE0260X
“Auto Recirc” key:
Touch to turn on the automatic air
recirculation mode.
Plasmacluster®icon:
Indicates the Plasmacluster®ion emis-
sion status.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
The Advanced Climate Control system
comes with an exhaust gas detection/out-
side odor sensor. When the automatic air
circulation control is activated, the sensor
detects odors outside the vehicle such as
pulp or chemicals, and exhaust gas such as
gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gases
are detected, the display and the system
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-31

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

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
