REAR (if so equipped)
The 2nd row outboard seats are warmed by
built-in heaters. The switches located on the
back side of the center console can be
operated independently of each other.
1. Start the engine.
2. Select heat range.
For high heat, push the HI (High) side
of the switch.
For low heat, push the LO (Low) side
of the switch.
The indicator light in the switch
will
illuminate when the heater is on. 3. To turn off the heater, return the switch
to the level position. Make sure the
indicator light goes off.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and
off. The indicator light will remain on as
long as the switch is on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or
before you leave the vehicle, be sure to
turn off the switch.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
climate controlled seats if you or the
occupants cannot monitor seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel
pain in body parts that contact with the
seat. Use of the climate controlled seats
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
CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEATS

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.

The climate controlled seat cools down the
front seat by blowing cool air from under the
surface of the seat. The switches are located
on the instrument panel and can be operated
independently of each other.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the climate controlled seat switch
to cool the seat. The indicator light
on
the corresponding switch will illuminate
depending on the cool level.
3. Adjust the desired amount of air by pushing the switch again. The climate
controlled seat blower remains on low
speed for approximately 60 seconds
after pushing the switch on. 4. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed or
cooled, or before you leave the vehicle,
be sure to turn off the climate controlled
seats. To turn off the climate controlled
seats, push the switch until the indicator
light turns off.
To check the air filter for the climate
controlled seat, it is recommended that 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 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.
