.When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the
rain-sensing auto wipers may be high-
er 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.
. Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the
rain-sensing auto wiper system. (See
“Windshield wiper blades” in the“8.
Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion for wiper blade replacement.)

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
. When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional headlights.
If they are not correctly aimed, they
might temporarily blind an oncoming
driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights
are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer
and have the headlights adjusted cor-
rectly.
When the xenon headlight is initially
turned on, its brightness or color varies
slightly. However, the color and brightness
will soon stabilize.
.The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation.

insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the
seat may become overheated.

the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to the
climate controlled seat.
. Any liquid spilled on the seat should be
removed immediately with a dry cloth.
. The climate controlled seat has an air
filter. Do not operate climate controlled
seat without an air filter. This may result
in damage to the system.

The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the warning systems (Forward
Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot Warning
(BSW) systems) that are activated using
the settings menu on the center display.
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
*1on the switch is off.
The indicator will also be off if all of the
warning systems are deactivated using the
settings menu.
The FCW system will sound a warning
chime and the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light blinks to alert the driver if
the vehicle is traveling close to the vehicle ahead. (See
“Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system” in the“5. Starting and
driving” section.)
The LDW system will sound a warning
chime and blink the lane departure warn-
ing light (orange) to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left
or the right of a traveling lane with
detectable lane markers. (See “Lane De-
parture Warning (LDW) system/Lane De-
parture Prevention (LDP) system” in the“5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The BSW system will turn on the BSW/
Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) indicator
lights, located next to the outside mirrors,
if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the
BSW/BSI indicator light will flash. (See
“Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system/Blind
Spot InterventionTM(BSI) system” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.)

The HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver:
. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door
locks and security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink
®will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink
®Universal Transcei-
ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases).
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®” later in this sec-
tion.
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver with any garage door opener
