key INFINITI QX80 2023 Workshop Manual

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.

that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electro-
nic accessories that consume battery
power when the engine is not running
(Phone chargers, GPS, DVD players,
etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or
only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
