Infiniti FX’s A Driver-Oriented Interior
The 2009 Infiniti FX’s interior features a command center-style cockpit designed to enhance the driving experience. The available leather-appointed 10-way power-adjustable sports driver’s seat includes variable air-inflating lumber support and available manual thigh extensions. The front passenger seat offers 8-way power adjustments, and both front seats are available with a new quieter, more efficient heating and cooling functions for maximum comfort in any season.
The high-tech interior design includes an Infiniti signature double-wave instrument panel and white/violet Fin Vision electroluminescent gauges. Also available is a new Automatic Driving Position System, which moves the seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors adaptively into the correct position – allowing the driver to change the seat position while driving and keep the same mirror viewpoint and relationship between the steering column and driver’s shoulder position.
The FX interior also includes an array comfort and convenience equipment, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, front door pockets, front seatback pockets, dual front and rear cupholders, locking glove compartment, four assist grips, overhead sunglass holder, four 12-volt power outlets, power windows with front one-touch up/down function (rear one-touch auto up/down function is added on FX50), power door locks and available cargo area cover, cargo net and aluminum pedals. Hospitality features include Infiniti Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition and a special Welcome Lighting system with 12-point sequential lighting that starts with turning on the puddle lamps under the side mirrors as the driver approaches the FX and continues to light key areas as driver and passengers settle into the interior.
Another new available feature is an Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS) with PlasmaclusterÔ ionizer that removes or neutralizes interior airborne contaminants. The system includes a “Clean Mode,” which emits a low concentration of negative and positive ions that attach to airborne particles (mold, fungi, spores, etc.), causing an attraction to interior surfaces so they are no longer floating around, while rendering them harmless.
An “Ion Mode” creates a high concentration of negative ions to impart a freshness and crispness to the air, similar to what people experience after a thunderstorm or near a waterfall.
In addition, FX50 utilizes a new filter using fiber impregnated with natural grape seed polyphenol, which has the ability to neutralize allergens that conventional filters cannot remove due to their incredibly small size (0.3 to 0.5 microns).
The new FX comes equipped with state-of-the-art audio – an advanced Bose® audio system, acoustically engineered by Bose® to optimize sound within the FX’s interior. The 11-speaker system features an AM/FM/6CD player, an advanced Burr-Brown digital-to-analog converter (DAC) system, XM® Satellite Radio (requires active XM® subscription, sold separately), diversity antenna and steering wheel-mounted remote audio controls.
The available advanced Infiniti Hard Drive (HDD) Navigation System features XM NavTraffic® with Real Time Traffic Information (requires active XM® subscription, sold separately) with a 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive for digital music storage and playback, Interface System for iPod®, Compact Flash (CF) card slot and Voice Recognition system for climate control, navigation, audio system and phone functions.
Other high tech features include RearView Monitor and an available Infiniti DVD Mobile Entertainment System with 9.0-inch flip-down console-mounted rear monitor, two wireless headphones and remote controller. Both the front and rear screens can display DVD content (front only when parked).
