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 to Wiper bladesin the
8. Do-it-yourself section.
•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.

WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solution
may freeze on the windshield and obscure your
vision which may lead to an accident. Warm

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.

Showing the distance display earlier in this
section). The defroster switch
Boperates when the
ignition switch is in the ON position for the rear
window, and (if equipped) for the outside rear
view mirrors.
The defroster is used to reduce the moisture,
fog or frost on the rear window surface and on
the outside mirror surface to improve the rear
view.
When the defroster switch
is pushed, the
indicator light illuminates and the defroster
operates for several minutes. After the preset
time has passed, the defroster will turn off
automatically. To turn off the defroster manu-
ally, push the defroster switch
again, and

Replace the spark plugs according to the main-
tenance schedule shown in a separate mainte-
nance booklet.
If replacement is required, it is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer.
Always replace spark plugs with recommended
or equivalent ones.
WARNING
Be sure the engine and ignition switch are off
and that the parking brake is engaged
securely.
CAUTION
•Be sure to use the correct socket to remove
the spark plugs. An incorrect socket can
cause damage to the spark plugs.It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer if checking or replacement is required.
WARNING
•Operating the engine with the air cleaner
filter off can cause you or others to be
burned. The air cleaner filter not only cleans
the intake air, it also stops the flame if the
engine backfires. If the air cleaner is not
installed and the engine backfires, you
could be burned. Never drive with the air
cleaner filter off. Be cautious working on the
engine when the air cleaner is off.
•Never pour fuel into the throttle body or
attempt to start the engine with the air
cleaner removed. Doing so could result in
serious injury.
CLEANING
If the windshield or rear window is not clear
after using the window washer or if a wiper
blade chatters when running, wax or other
material may be on the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield or rear
window with a washer solution or a mild deter-
gent. The windshield or rear window is clean if
beads do not form when rinsing with clear
water.
Clean the blade by wiping it with a cloth soaked
in a washer solution or a mild detergent. Then
rinse the blade with clear water. If the wind-
shield or rear window is still not clear after
cleaning the blades and using the wiper, re-
place the blades.
CAUTION
Worn windshield wiper blades can damage the
windshield and impair driver vision.
