WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solu-
tion may freeze on the windshield and ob-
scure your vision which may lead to an ac-
cident. Warm the windshield with the
defroster before you wash the windshield.
CAUTION
•Do not operate the washer continuously
for more than 30 seconds.
•Do not operate the washer if the win-
dow 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 reser-
voir tank.
•Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with
water to the manufacturer’s recom-
mended levels before pouring the fluid
into the window washer reservoir tank.
Do not use the window washer reservoir
tank to mix the washer fluid concentrate
and water. NOTE
•If the wiper operation is interrupted by
snow or ice, the wiper may stop moving to
protect its motor. If this occurs, turn the
wiper switch to the “OFF” position and
remove the snow or ice on and around the
wiper arms. In approximately 1 minute,
turn the switch on again to operate the
wiper.
•Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windshield can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place
when the windshield is dry.
•If it is necessary to switch on the wipers in
dry weather conditions, always operate
them using washer fluid.
•If the windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may
be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windshield with washer fluid after an au-
tomatic car wash.

POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
•Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in
motion and before closing the windows.
Use the window lock switch to prevent
unexpected use of the power windows.
•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
The switches for all side windows are located on
the driver's door. There is also a switch on each
door for the corresponding side window The
switches on the driver's door take precedence.
Auto-reverse function
The auto-reverse function can be activated
when a window is closed by automatic op-
eration. Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto-reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the window oc-
curs.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which can-
not be detected. Make sure that all passen-
gers have their hands, etc., inside the
vehicle before closing the window.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, re-
placed, or jump started, the power window
auto-reverse function may not operate prop-
erly. If this occurs, it is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer to re-initialize the power
window auto-reverse system.
If the control unit detects something caught
in a window equipped with automatic opera-
tion as it is closing, the window will be imme-
diately lowered.

Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars (if so equipped) must be in-
stalled before applying load/cargo/luggage
to the roof of the vehicle.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front
and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located
on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification
label (located on the driver’s door pillar). For
additional information, refer to "Vehicle load-
ing information" in the "10. Technical infor-
mation" section.
WARNING
•Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying ca-
pacity, especially if the significant por-
tion of that load is carried on the roof
rack.
•Heavy loading of the roof rack has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
•Roof rack load should be evenly distrib-
uted.
•Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
CAUTION
Always install the cross bars (if so
equipped) onto the roof side rails before
loading cargo of any kind. Loading cargo
directly onto the roof side rails or the vehi-
cle's roof may cause vehicle damage.

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, inte-
grated in the vehicle's inside rear view mirror,
provides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
•Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
•Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the ve-
hicle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures (Ex-
ample: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to "Programming
HomeLink® " later in this section.
WARNING
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models manu-
factured after April 1, 1982). A garage
door opener which cannot detect an ob-
ject in the path of a closing garage door
and then automatically stop and re-
verse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.
•During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
•Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. NOTE
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener. If
you have difficulty programing the inte-
grated garage door opener, it is recom-
mended you contact your INFINITI retailer.

culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
