All of the vehicle's systems remain active when
the engine is switched off automatically.
The engine can be switched off automatically
a maximum of four times (initial stop, then
three subsequent stops) in succession. The
Idle Stop/Start symbol is shown in yel-
low in the vehicle information display after
the engine has been started automatically
for the fourth time. When the
Idle
Stop/Start symbol is shown in green in the
vehicle information display, automatic engine
switch-off is again possible.
NOTE
If the hood is opened while the engine is run-
ning and the Idle Stop/Start function is op-
erational, the engine will switch off auto-
matically.

5-30Starting and driving

•When a replacement tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. It is recommended you Con-
tact an INFINITI retailer as soon as pos-
sible for tire replacement and/or system
resetting.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
•If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, the TPMS
sensor should be checked when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When the
low tire pressure warning light is lit, and a tire
pressure-related warning (if equipped) ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, one
or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. If the vehicle is being driven with low
tire pressure, the TPMS will activate and
warn you of it by the low tire pressure warn-
ing light (in the meter panel). This system willactivate only when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h).
For more details about the TPMS, see "Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)".

IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS
In case of emergency6-13

In order to maintain the appearance of your
vehicle, it is important to take proper care of it.
To protect the paint surfaces, please wash
your vehicle as soon as you can:
•After a rainfall, to prevent possible dam-
age from acid rain.
•After driving on coastal roads.
•When contaminants such as soot, bird
droppings, tree sap, metal particles or
bugs get on the paint surface.
•When dust or mud builds up on the surface.
Whenever possible, park your vehicle inside a
garage or in a covered area to minimize the
chances of damaging the paint surface of
your vehicle.
When it is necessary to park outside, park in a
shady area or protect the vehicle with a body
cover.Be careful not to scratch the paint
surface when putting on or removing the
body cover.
WASHING
Wash dirt off with a wet sponge and plenty
of water. Clean the vehicle thoroughly using a
mild soap, a special vehicle soap or general
purpose dishwashing liquid mixed with clean,
lukewarm (never hot) water.
CAUTION
•Do not use car washes that use acid in
the detergent. Some car washes, espe-
cially brushless ones, use some acid for
cleaning. The acid may react with some
plastic vehicle components, causing
them to crack. This could affect their ap-
pearance, and also could cause them not
to function properly. Always check with
your car wash to confirm that acid is not
used.
•Do not wash the vehicle with strong
household soap, strong chemical deter-
gents, gasoline or solvents.
•Do not wash the vehicle in direct sun-
light or while the vehicle body is hot, as
the paint surface may become water-
spotted.
•Avoid using tight-napped or rough
cloths, such as washing mitts. Care must
be taken when removing caked-on dirt
or other foreign substances so the paint
surface is not scratched or damaged.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of
clean water.Inside edges, seams and folds on the doors,
hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable
to the effects of road salt. Therefore, these
areas must be cleaned regularly. Take care
that the drain holes in the lower edge of the
door are open. Spray water under the body
and in the wheel wells to loosen the dirt and
wash away road salt.
A damp chamois can be used to dry the ve-
hicle to avoid water spots.
WAXING
Regular waxing protects the paint surface and
helps maintain a new vehicle appearance.
After waxing, polishing is recommended to
remove built-up residue and to avoid a
weathered appearance.
An INFINITI retailer can assist you in choos-
ing the appropriate waxing products.
•Wax your vehicle only after a thorough
washing. Follow the instructions supplied
with the wax.
•Do not use a wax containing any abra-
sives, cutting compounds or cleaners that
may damage the vehicle finish.
Machine compounding or aggressive polish-
ing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish may
dull the finish or leave swirl marks.

7. Make sure that wiper blade1is seated
correctly.
8. Move the wiper arm back onto the wind-
shield.
CAUTION
•After wiper blade replacement, return
the wiper arm to its original position;
otherwise it may be damaged when the
hood is opened.
•Make sure the wiper blades contact the
glass; otherwise the arms may be dam-
aged from wind pressure.If you wax the surface of the engine hood, be
careful not to let wax get into the washer
nozzle
A. This may cause clogging or im-
proper windshield washer operation. If wax
gets into the nozzle, remove it with a needle
or small pin
