Revision: November 2009 2006 QX56

Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, unless the combination switch (lighting
switch) position is changed. If the combination switch (lighting switch) position is changed, then the headlamps
are turned off.
AUTO LIGHT OPERATION
Refer to LT- 4 8 , "System Description" for auto light operation.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (PANIC ALARM)
The vehicle security system (panic alarm) will flash the high beams if the system is triggered. Refer to BL-48,
"Panic Alarm Operation" .
CAN Communication System DescriptionEKS00B7U
Refer to LAN-26, "CAN COMMUNICATION" .

GENERAL MAINTENANCEPFP:00000
General MaintenanceELS001BI
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owner can perform these
checks and inspections or have their INFINITI dealers perform them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the
vehicle, etc. Item
Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge at least once a month and always prior to a
long distance trip. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear. —
Wheel lug nuts When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary. WT-7, "
Rotation"
Windshield
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary. —
Tire rotation Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles). WT-7, "
Rotation"
Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel
balancing may be needed. WT-6, "Balancing
Wheels", FSU-6, "Front
Wheel Alignment"
Windshield wiper
blades
Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.
—
Doors and engine
hood Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back
hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary.
Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the pri-
mary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubri-
cation frequently. MA-31, "
Lubricating
Locks, Hinges and Hood
Latches"
Lamps
Make sure that the head lamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head
lamp aim. Clean the head lamps on a regular basis. LT-29, "Aiming Adjust-
ment" for US, LT-46,
"Aiming Adjustment" for
Canada

Seats
Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seat back recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every
position. Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that
the locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the
latches lock securely for folding-down rear seat backs. —
Seat belts Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. SB-11, "
