The rain-sensing auto wiper system can auto-
matically turn on the wipers and adjust the wiper
speed depending on the rainfall and the vehicle
speed by using the rain sensor located on the
upper part of the windshield.
To set the rain-sensing auto wiper system, place
the lever in the AUTO position
1. The wiper will
sweep once while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be adjusted
by turning the knob toward the front
2(High) or
toward the rear
3(Low) .
– High — High sensitive operation
– Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system off,
rotate the lever to the OFF position, or rotate the
lever to the LO or HI position.
For additional information on disabling the rain-
sensing feature, refer to “How to use the vehicle
information display” in “Vehicle information dis-
play” in this section.
REAR SWITCH OPERATION
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solu-
tion may freeze on the rear window and
obscure your vision which may lead to an
accident. Warm the rear window with the
defroster before you wash the rear
window.
CAUTION
● Do not operate the washer continuously
for more than 30 seconds.
● Do not operate the washer if the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir is
empty.
● Do not fill the windshield-washer fluid
reservoir with windshield-washer fluid
concentrates at full strength. Some
methyl alcohol based windshield-
washer fluid concentrates may perma-
nently stain the grille if spilled while
filling the windshield-washer fluid
reservoir.
● Pre-mix windshield-washer fluid con-
centrates with water to the manufactur-
er’s recommended levels before pour-
ing the fluid into the windshield-washer
fluid reservoir. Do not use the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir to
mix the windshield-washer fluid con-
centrate and water.
If the rear window wiper operation is interrupted
by snow, etc., the wiper may stop moving to
protect its motor. If this occurs, turn the wiper
switch to OFF and remove the snow, etc. on and
around the wiper arms. After about 1 minute, turn
the switch on again to operate the wiper.

Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolight sensor located in the top side
1of the instrument panel. The autolight
sensor controls the autolight; if it is cov-
ered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is
dark out and the headlights will illuminate.
If this occurs while parked with the engine
off and the ignition switch placed in the ON
position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.
Headlight beam select
1To select the high beam function, push the
lever forward. The high beam lights come on
and the
light illuminates.
2Pull the lever back to select the low beam.
3Pulling and releasing the lever flashes the
headlight high beams on and off.
High beam assist (if so equipped)
The high beam assist system will operate when
the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) and above. If an oncoming
vehicle or leading vehicle appears in front of your vehicle when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low beam auto-
matically.
WARNING
●
The high beam assist system is a con-
venience but it is not a substitute for
safe driving operation. The driver
should remain alert at all times, ensure
safe driving practices and switch the
high beams and low beam manually
when necessary.
● The high beam or low beam may not
switch automatically under the follow-
ing conditions. Switch the high beam
and low beam manually.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.) .
– When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity
of the vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncom- ing vehicle or the leading vehicle are
turned off, when the color of the light
is affected due to foreign materials
on the lights, or when the light beam
is out of position.

To turn off the high beam assist system, turn the
headlight switch to the
position or select
the low beam position by placing the lever in the
neutral position.
Ambient image sensor maintenance
The ambient image sensor
1for the high beam
assist system is located in front of the inside
mirror. To maintain the proper operation of the
high beam assist system and prevent a system
malfunction, be sure to observe the following:
● Always keep the windshield clean.
● Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
ambient image sensor.
● Do not strike or damage the areas around
the ambient image sensor. Do not touch the
sensor lens that is located on the ambient
image sensor. If the ambient image sensor is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer.
Battery saver system
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position
while the headlight switch is in the
orposition, the headlights will turn off after
a period of time.
CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature au-
tomatically turns off the headlights after a
period of time, you should turn the head-
light switch to the OFF position when the
engine is not running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
The daytime running lights automatically illumi-
nate when the engine is started with the parking
brake released. The daytime running lights oper-
ate with the headlight switch in the OFF position
or in the
position. Turn the headlight switch
to the
position for full illumination when
driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the engine is
started, the daytime running lights do not illumi-
nate. The daytime running lights illuminate when
the parking brake is released. The daytime run-

HANDS-FREE LIFTGATE (if so
equipped)
The liftgate can be opened/closed using a foot
kicking motion when it is locked or unlocked. Two
sensors along the rear bumper (center area) can
detect a forward kicking motion
B. The Intelli-
gent Key must be present within 3 ft (1 m) of the
liftgate to allow using the hands free feature to
open/close the liftgate. NOTE:
To achieve proper motion activation, kick
within the kicking zone
A2 ft (60 cm) .
Improper kicking either from side to side
Cor at anglesDwill not open/close the
liftgate.
CAUTION
Before performing the kicking motion,
steady your stance to prevent any loss of
balance. Also, while making the kicking
motion, take caution around hot exhaust
system parts. Otherwise, there may be
danger of injury.

To turn on the automatic anti-glare feature, press
the | button again. The indicator light will turn
on.
For information on HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver operation, refer to “HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
NOTE:
Do not hang any objects over the sensors
1or apply glass cleaner to the sensors.
Doing so will reduce the sensitivity of the
sensors, resulting in improper operation.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
The outside mirror remote control will operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
position.
Move the small switch
1to select the left or right
mirror. Adjust each mirror to the desired position
using the large switch
2.
WARNING
● Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
● Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
