age the automatic transmission. Dam-
age caused by the use of fluids other
than as recommended is not covered by
the warranty.

equipped) periodically. If it is not visible, re-
place the battery as soon as possible.
MODELS WITH IDLE
STOP/START SYSTEM
•Ensure that the battery fitted is the special
battery that is enhanced with regard to the
charge-discharge capacity and life perfor-
mance. Avoid using any other battery for
the Idle Stop/Start System, as this may
cause early deterioration of the battery or
a malfunction of the Idle Stop/Start Sys-
tem. It is recommended that a Genuine
INFINITI battery is fitted. For more infor-
mation, it is recommended that you con-
tact an INFINITI retailer.
•If the battery terminal is disconnected (for
battery replacement, etc.) and then recon-
nected, there may be some delay before
the Stop/Start System reactivates.

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
detergent. 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 deter-
gent. Then rinse the blade with clear water. If
the windshield or rear window is still not clear
after cleaning the blades and using the wiper,
replace the blades.
CAUTION
Worn windshield wiper blades can damage
the windshield and impair driver vision.
