ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes
be great enough to cause false compass
readings. Follow these instructions to set the
variance for your particular location if this
happens:
1. Push the
switch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance
number on the zone map.
3. Push the
switch repeatedly until the
new zone number appears in the display,
then release the switch. After you re-
lease the switch, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
.If the compass deviates from the
correct indication soon after repeated
adjustment, it is recommended you
have the compass checked at an
INFINITI retailer.
.The compass may not indicate the
correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle
moves to an area where the geomag-netism is stabilized.)
CAUTION
.Do not install a ski rack, antenna,
etc., which are attached to the vehi-
cle by means of a magnet. They affect
the operation of the compass.
.When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.

.Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system
off, push up the lever to the OFF position, or
pull down the lever to the LO or HI position.
CAUTION
Do not touch the rain sensor and around
it when the wiper switch is in the AUTO
position and the ignition switch is in the
ON position. The wipers may operate
unexpectedly and cause to 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,
fingerprints, 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.
.The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain
sensor even if it is raining.
.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.
.Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the
rain-sensing auto wiper system. (See
“Windshield wiper blades” (P.8-22) for
wiper blade replacement.)
