Upper vent system
When thebutton is pushed, the air flow
against the driver’s or passenger’s upper
body becomes gentle. (The indicator light on
the button will illuminate.)

flows in order to control the cabin tempera-
ture without blowing air directly on the
occupants.

Advanced Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the ion control and the automatic air
intake control with exhaust gas detecting
sensor.
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.
The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases according to the amount of air flow.
When the air flow is high,
is displayed on
the display screen and when the air flow is
low, the indication in the screen changes to
.

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
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-31

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
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
button is turned 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.

OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, the air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
The sensors
andlocated on the instru-
ment panel help maintain a constant tem-
perature. Do not put anything on or around
the sensors.
LINKING INTELLIGENT KEY
The air conditioner system settings can be
memorized for each Intelligent Key. See
“Setting memory function” (P.3-41).
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
Models without Advanced Climate Control
System:
The climate control system is equipped with
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.)
An 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.

When installing a car phone or a CB radio in
your vehicle, be sure to observe the follow-
ing cautions, otherwise the new equipment
may adversely affect the electronic control
modules and electronic control system har-
ness.
WARNING
.A cellular phone should not be used
for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation. Some jurisdictions prohibit
the use of cellular phones while
driving.
. If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-free
cellular phone operational mode (if so
equipped) is highly recommended.
Exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
. If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
.Keep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic control
modules.
. Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harness. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.
. Adjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.
. Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.
. For details, it is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer.
WARNING
.It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for
a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television
monitor or screen that is visible,
directly or indirectly, to the driver
while operating the vehicle. In the
interest of safety, the unit should
never be installed where it will be
directly or indirectly visible, by the
operator of the motor vehicle.
. For safety reasons when changing
discs, it is recommended that the
vehicle is not in motion, and that
you do not allow children to unfasten
safety belts to change discs or make
any adjustments to the system. Sys-
tem adjustments can be accom-
plished using the remote control,
while safety belts remain fastened.
. Enjoy your RSI system but remember
that safety of all passengers remains
the number one priority. Devices
installed in the USB, HDMI, or head-
phone jack may protrude and create a
potential eye impact hazard for un-
belted passengers during a vehicle
accident. To reduce the risk of injury,
use only SD cards (hidden on left side
