open hood INFINITI QX 2011 User Guide

CLEANING
If your windshield is not clear after using the
windshield washer or if a wiper blade chatters
when running, wax or other material may be on
the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a
washer solution or a mild detergent. Your wind-
shield is clean if beads do not form when
rinsing with clear water.
Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth
soaked in a washer solution or a mild deter-
gent. Then rinse the blade with clear water. If
your windshield is still not clear after cleaning
the blades and using the wiper, replace the
blades.
Worn windshield wiper blades can damage the
windshield and impair driver vision.
REPLACING
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.
1. Pull the wiper arm.
2. Push the release tab
A, and then move
the wiper blade down the wiper arm
1
while pushing the release tab to remove.
3. Insert the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until a click sounds.
4. Rotate the wiper blade so the dimple is in the groove.
CAUTION
●After wiper blade replacement, return the
wiper arm to its original position;
otherwise it may be damaged when the hood
is opened.
● Make sure the wiper blades contact the
glass; otherwise the arm may be damaged
from wind pressure.

light switch is turned to OFF.
2. Open the engine hood and remove the cover on the battery.
3. Remove the fuse/fusible link holder cover

passenger compartment fuse box.
6. If a new fuse also opens, have the elec- trical system checked and repaired by an
INFINITI retailer.
Fusible links
If any electrical equipment does not operate
and fuses are in good condition, check the
fusible links. If any of these fusible links are
melted, replace only with genuine INFINITI
