wiper size INFINITI QX50 2020 Owners Manual

– When driving on a bumpy road sur-face, such as an uneven dirt road
– When driving on sharp curves or wind- ing roads
– When driving on repeated uphill and downhill roads
∙ Do not use the Steering Assist under the following conditions because the system
will not operate properly:
– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (for ex-
ample, tire wear, abnormal tire pres-
sure, installation of a spare tire, tire
chains, nonstandard wheels)
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake or suspension
parts
– When an object that obstructs the camera unit detection range is
attached
– When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or luggage area
of your vehicle
– When the vehicle load capacity is exceeded
– When towing a trailer or other vehicle ∙ Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the beep may
not be heard.
∙ For the ProPILOT Assist system to oper- ate properly, the windshield in front of
the camera must be clean. Replace worn
wiper blades. The correct size wiper
blades must be used to help make sure the
windshield is kept clean. Only use Genu-
ine INFINITI wiper blades, or equivalent
wiper blades, that are specifically de-
signed for use on your vehicle model and
model year. It is recommended that you
visit your INFINITI retailer for the correct
parts for your vehicle.
Steering Assist temporary standby
Automatic standby due to driving operation:
When the driver activates the turn signal, the
Steering Assist is temporarily placed in a
standby mode. (The Steering Assist restarts
automatically when the operating conditions
are met again.)
Automatic standby:
In the following cases, a warning message is
displayed along with the chime, and the
Steering Assist is placed in a temporary standby mode. (The Steering Assist restarts
automatically when the operating conditions
are met again.)
∙ When lane markers on both sides are no longer detected
∙ When a vehicle ahead is no longer de- tected under approximately 37 mph
(60 km/h)
Steering Assist cancel
Under the following conditions, the Steering
Assist cancels, and the Steering Assist status
indicator and the Steering Assist indicator
turn off:
∙ When unusual lane markers appear in the traveling lane or when the lane marker
cannot be correctly detected for some
time due to certain conditions (for ex-
ample, a snow rut, the reflection of light
on a rainy day, the presence of several
unclear lane markers)
∙ When the windshield wiper operates in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steer-
ing Assist is disabled when the wiper op-
erates for more than approximately
10 seconds)
5-128Starting and driving

DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without
antifreeze, drain the cooling system, including
the engine block. Refill before operating the
vehicle. For additional information, refer to
“Changing engine coolant” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
TIRE EQUIPMENT
1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed toprovide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance of
these tires will be substantially reduced
in snowy and icy conditions. If you oper-
ate your vehicle on snowy or icy roads,
INFINITI recommends the use of MUD &
SNOW or ALL SEASON TIRES on all
four wheels. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for the tire type,
size, speed rating and availability infor-
mation.
2. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However,
some U.S. states and Canadian prov-
inces prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before install-
ing studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
3. Tire chains may be used. For additional information, refer to “Tire chains” in the
“Do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items
be carried in the vehicle during winter:
∙ A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to re- move ice and snow from the windows
and wiper blades.
∙ A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack to give it firm support.
∙ A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snow- drifts.
∙ Extra washer fluid to refill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
∙ Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain),very cold snow or ice can be slick and very
hard to drive on. The vehicle will have
much less traction or “grip” under these
conditions. Try to avoid driving on wet
ice until the road is salted or sanded.
∙ Whatever the condition, drive with cau- tion. Accelerate and slow down with
care. If accelerating or downshifting too
fast, the drive wheels will lose even more
traction.
∙ Allow more stopping distance under these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.
∙ Allow greater following distances on slippery roads.
∙ Watch for slippery spots (glare ice). These may appear on an otherwise clear
road in shaded areas. If a patch of ice is
seen ahead, brake before reaching it. Try
not to brake while on the ice, and avoid
any sudden steering maneuvers.
∙ Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads.
5-192Starting and driving

When driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials, check lubrication fre-
quently.
Lights*:Clean the headlights on a regular
basis. Make sure that the headlights, stop
lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other
lights are all operating properly and installed
securely. Also check headlight aim.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When checking
the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are miss-
ing, and check for any loose wheel nuts.
Tighten if necessary.
Tire rotation*: Tires should be rotated every
7,500 miles (12,000 km). If your vehicle is
equipped with different sized tires in the front
and rear, tires cannot be rotated.
Tires*: Check the pressure with a gauge of-
ten and always prior to long distance trips. If
necessary, adjust the pressure in all tires, in-
cluding the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive
wear.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components: Replace the TPMS
transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap
when the tires are replaced due to wear or
age. Wheel alignment and balance:
If the vehicle
should pull to either side while driving on a
straight and level road, or if you detect un-
even or abnormal tire wear, there may be a
need for wheel alignment.
If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at nor-
mal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
For additional information regarding tires, re-
fer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in
the INFINITI Warranty Information Booklet.
Windshield: Clean the windshield on a regular
basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Have a
damaged windshield repaired by a qualified
repair facility. It is recommended that you have
a damaged windshield repaired by an INFINITI
retailer, or a INFINITI Certified Collision Cen-
ter. To locate a collision center in your area,
refer to http://collision.infinitiusa.com.
Windshield wiper blades*: Check for cracks
or wear if they do not wipe properly.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on a regular basis, such as when
performing scheduled maintenance, cleaning
the vehicle, etc. Accelerator pedal:
Check the pedal for
smooth operation and make sure the pedal
does not catch or require uneven effort. Keep
the floor mat away from the pedal.
Brake pedal: Check the pedal for smooth op-
eration. If the brake pedal suddenly goes
down further than normal, the pedal feels
spongy or the vehicle seems to take longer to
stop, have your vehicle checked immediately.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. Keep the floor mat
away from the pedal.
Brakes: Check that the brakes do not pull the
vehicle to one side when applied.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) P
(Park) position mechanism: On a fairly steep
hill check that the vehicle is held securely with
the shift lever in the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.
Parking brake: Check the parking brake op-
eration regularly. The vehicle should be se-
curely held on a fairly steep hill with only the
parking brake applied. If the parking brake
does not securely hold the vehicle, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
service.
