Instruments and controls2-55

A visual and audible alarm is triggered if the
alarm system is armed and you open:
•A door.
•The vehicle with the emergency key element.
•The lift gate.
•The hood.
To switch the alarm off with the key: press the
orbutton on the key. The alarm is
switched off
The alarm is not switched off, even if you close
the open door that has triggered it, for example.
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solution
may freeze on the windshield and obscure your
vision which may lead to an accident. Warm
the windshield with the defroster before you
wash the windshield.
CAUTION
•Do not operate the washer continuously for
more than 30 seconds.
•Do not operate the washer if the window
washer fluid reservoir is empty.
•Do not fill the window washer reservoir tank
with washer fluid concentrates at full
strength. Some methyl alcohol based
washer fluid concentrates may permanently
stain the grille if spilled while filling the
window washer reservoir tank.
•Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with wa-
ter to the manufacturer’s recommended lev-
els before pouring the fluid into the window
washer reservoir tank. Do not use the win-
dow washer reservoir tank to mix the
washer fluid concentrate and water.NOTE
•If the wiper operation is interrupted by snow
or ice, the wiper may stop moving to protect
its motor. If this occurs, turn the wiper switch
to the “OFF” position and remove the snow
or ice on and around the wiper arms. In
approximately 1 minute, turn the switch on
again to operate the wiper.
•Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has
collected on the windshield can scratch the
glass if wiping takes place when the wind-
shield is dry.
•If it is necessary to switch on the wipers in
dry weather conditions, always operate them
using washer fluid.
•If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may
be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windshield with washer fluid after an auto-
matic car wash.

SWITCHING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS

sor set to low sensitivity).
3Intermittent wipe, high (rain sen-
sor set to high sensitivity).
4Continuous wipe, slow.
5Continuous wipe, fast.
ASingle wipe/
wipe the windshield using washer fluid.
The windshield wiper and washer operate when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Turn the combination switch to the desired
position.
Rain sensor (if equipped)
CAUTION
•Do not touch the rain sensor and around it
when the wiper switch is in theorposition and the ignition switch is in
the ON position. The wipers may operate
unexpectedly and cause an injury or may
damage a wiper.
•The rain-sensing auto wipers are intended
for use during rain. If the switch is left in the
orposition, the wipers may
operate unexpectedly when dirt, finger-
prints, oil film or insects are stuck on or
around the sensor. The wipers may also op-
erate when exhaust gas or moisture affect
the rain sensor.
•When the windshield glass is coated with
water repellent, the speed of the rain-
sensing auto wipers may be higher even
though the amount of the rainfall is small.
•Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
•The rain-sensing auto wipers may not oper-
ate if rain does not hit the rain sensor even if
it is raining.
•Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the rain-
sensing auto wiper system. For additional
information, refer toWiper bladesin the
8. Do-it-yourselfsection.
•Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
shield becomes dirty in dry weather condi-
tions, the windshield wipers may be acti-
vated inadvertently. This could damage the
windshield wiper blades or scratch the
windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windshield wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the
orposition, the appropriate wiping fre-
quency is automatically set according to the
intensity of the rain. In the
position, the
rain sensor is more sensitive than in the
position, causing the windshield wiper to wipe
more frequently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield will
no longer be wiped properly. This could prevent
you from observing the traffic conditions.
The rain-sensing auto wiper system uses the
rain sensor located on the upper part of the
windshield.

Parking brake*:
Check the parking brake operation regularly.
Also make sure that the vehicle is held securely
on a fairly steep hill when only the parking
brake is applied. If the parking brake needs
adjustment, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Seats
:
Check seat position controls such as seat ad-
justers, seatback recliner, etc. to ensure 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 so equipped) hold securely in all
latched positions.
Seat belts
:
Check that all parts of the seat belt system (for
example, buckles, anchors, adjusters and re-
tractors) operate properly and smoothly, and
are installed securely. Check the belt webbing
for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.
Steering wheel
:
Check for changes in the steering condition,
such as excessive free play, hard steering or
strange noises.Warning lights and chimes
:
Make sure that all warning lights and chimes
are operating properly.
Windshield defroster
:
Check that the air comes out of the defroster
outlets properly and in good quantity when
operating the heater or air conditioner.
Windshield wiper and washer*
:
Check that the wipers and washer operate
properly and that the wipers do not streak.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery*
:
Except for maintenance free battery, check the
fluid level in each cell. It should be between the
“UPPER” and “LOWER” lines. Vehicles operated
in high temperatures or under severe condi-
tions require frequent checks of the battery
fluid level.NOTE
Care should be taken to avoid situations that can
lead to potential battery discharge and potential
no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic ac-
cessories 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.
Brake fluid level*
:
Make sure that the brake fluid level is between
the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir.
Coolant level*
:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belt(s)*
:
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked
or oily.
Engine oil level*
:
Check the level after parking the vehicle on a
level spot and turning off the engine. Wait more
than 15 minutes for the oil to drain back into the
oil pan.
