“Vehicle information display” in this section.
RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
CAUTION
∙ Do not touch the rain sensor and aroundit when the wiper switch is in the AUTO
position and the ignition switch is in the
ON position. The wipers may operate un-
expectedly and cause an injury or may
damage a wiper. ∙ The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch is
left in the AUTO position, the wipers may
operate unexpectedly when dirt, finger-
prints, oil film or insects are stuck on or
around the sensor. The wipers may also
operate 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 operate if rain does not hit the rain sensor
even if it is raining.
∙ Using Genuine NISSAN wiper blades is recommended for proper operation of
the rain-sensing auto wiper system. For
additional information, refer to “Wind-
shield wiper blades” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.

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.
∙ Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gases under your vehicle. Keep snow clear of
the exhaust pipe and from around your
vehicle.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so
equipped)
Engine block heaters are used to assist with
cold temperature starting.
The engine block heater should be used when
the outside temperature is 20°F (-7°C) or
lower.
WARNING
∙ Do not use your engine block heater withan ungrounded electrical system or a
2-pronged adapter. You can be seriously
injured by an electrical shock if you use an
ungrounded connection.
∙ Disconnect and properly store the engine block heater cord before starting the en-
gine. Damage to the cord could result in
an electrical shock and can cause serious
injury.

If replacement is required, it is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.CLEANING
If your windshield is not clear after using the
windshield-washer or if a wiper blade chat-
ters 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
windshield 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 blades with clear water.
If your windshield is still not clear after clean-
ing the blades and using the wiper, replace
the blades.
CAUTION
Worn windshield wiper blades can damage
the windshield and impair driver vision.
REPLACING
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.
To replace the windshield wiper blades, fol-
low the procedure below:1. Lift the wiper arm away from the wind- shield.
2. Push the release tab
B.
3. Move the wiper blade
Adown and re-
move.
4. Insert the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until it clicks into place.
5. Push wiper on to windshield.

CAUTION
∙ After wiper blade replacement, returnthe 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 arms may be dam-
aged from wind pressure.
If you wax the surface of the hood, be careful
not to let wax get into the washer nozzle
D.
This may cause clogging or improper
windshield-washer operation. If wax gets
into the nozzle, remove it with a needle or
small pin

latch keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
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
5,000 miles (8,000 km).
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. Tire, wheel alignment and balance:
If the ve-
hicle should pull 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 alignment. If the steering
wheel or seat vibrates at normal 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 regu-
lar basis. Check the windshield at least every
six months for cracks or other damage. Have
a damaged windshield repaired by a qualified
repair facility.
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
needs adjustment, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat
belt system (for example, buckles, anchors,
adjusters and retractors) operate properly
and smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying,
wear or damage.
