SYSTEM MAINTENANCEY51D-V-E01-D1226349-BD2C-45E4-A69E-A2AB56D76D9A.The two radar sensor units*1for the
BSW and BSI systems are located near
the rear bumper. Always keep the area
near the radar sensors clean.
. The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog. The
blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt
obstructing the radar sensors. Check
for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the radar sensors. Do not
attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area
around the radar sensors. Consult an
INFINITI retailer if the area around the
radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.
. The lane camera
*2for the BSI system
is located above the inside mirror.

[ Edit: 2013/ 10/ 21 Model: Y51-D ]
.Wax your vehicle only after a thorough
washing. Follow the instructions sup-
plied with the wax.
. Do not use a wax containing any
abrasives, cutting compounds or clea-
ners that may damage the vehicle
finish.
Machine compound or aggressive polish-
ing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish
may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
REMOVING SPOTSY51D-V-E01-E8B74468-BCE5-4709-9D00-2285EB5AF58ERemove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible
from the paint surface to avoid lasting
damage or staining. Special cleaning
products are available at an INFINITI
retailer or any automotive accessory
stores.
UNDERBODYY51D-V-E01-7716E8ED-9E43-4D83-A6F6-497E61851D28In areas where road salt is used in winter,
the underbody must be cleaned regularly.
This will prevent dirt and salt from building
up and causing the acceleration of corro-
sion on the underbody and suspension.
Before the winter period and again in the
spring, the underseal must be checked
and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASSY51D-V-E01-08906C72-395B-4C0D-AB51-77874E33DDFBUse glass cleaner to remove smoke and
dust film from the glass surfaces. It is
normal for glass to become coated with a
film after the vehicle is parked in the hot
sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows,
do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive
cleaners or chlorine-based disinfectant clea-
ners. They could damage the electrical
conductors, radio antenna elements or rear
window defroster elements.
WHEELSY51D-V-E01-86BF7C1F-D7AC-4955-A781-342F1840AEDEWash the wheels when washing the vehicle
to maintain their appearance.
. Clean the inner side of the wheels when
the wheel is changed or the underside
of the vehicle is washed.
. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents
or corrosion. Such damage may cause
loss of pressure or poor seal at the tire
bead. .
INFINITI recommends that the road
wheels be waxed to protect against
road salt in areas where it is used
during winter.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing
the wheels.
Aluminum alloy wheelsY51D-V-E01-FBDB2630-0B4E-48F5-A670-4D29933E3E16Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in
a mild soap solution, especially during
winter months in areas where road salt is
used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not
removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid stain-
ing or discoloring the wheels:
. Do not use a cleaner that uses strong
acid or alkali contents to clean the
wheels.
. Do not apply wheel cleaners to the
wheels when they are hot. The wheel
temperature should be the same as
