∙ Pre-mix windshield-washer fluid concen-trates with water to the manufacturer’s
recommended levels before pouring the
fluid into the windshield-washer fluid
reservoir. Do not use the windshield-
washer fluid reservoir to mix the
windshield-washer fluid concentrate and
water.
NOTE:
If the windshield wiper operation is inter-
rupted 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 that is on and
around the wiper arms. In approximately
1 minute, turn the switch on again to operate
the wiper.
The windshield wiper and washer operates
when the ignition switch is in the ON position. Push the lever down to operate the wiper at
the following speed:
1Intermittent (INT) — intermittent opera-
tion can be adjusted by turning the knob
toward
A(Slower) orB(Faster). Also,
the intermittent operation speed varies in
accordance with the vehicle speed. (For
example, when the vehicle speed is high,
the intermittent operation speed will be
faster.) Further, if so equipped, the rain-
sensing feature will adjust the speed of
the intermittent operation. For additional
information, refer to “Rain-sensing auto
wiper system” in this section.
2Low (LO) — continuous low speed op-
eration
3High (HI) — continuous high speed opera-
tion
Push the lever up

RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
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 un-
expectedly and cause an injury or may
damage a wiper.
LIC2901
2-36Instruments and controls
∙ 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, finger-
prints, 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.
∙ 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.
∙ The rain-sensing auto wipers may not operate if rain does not hit the rain sensor
even if it is raining.
∙ Using Genuine NISSAN wiper blades is recommended for proper operation of
the rain-sensing auto wiper system. For
additional information, refer to “Wind-
shield wiper blades” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual. The rain-sensing auto wiper system can au-
tomatically 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 ad-
justed by turning the knob toward the front
2(High) or toward the rear3(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 infor-
mation display” in this section.
Instruments and controls2-37
High Beam Assist (if so equipped)
The High Beam Assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of ap-
proximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and above. If
an oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle ap-
pears in front of your vehicle when the head-
light high beam is on, the headlight will be
switched to the low beam automatically.
WARNING
∙ The High Beam Assist system is a conve-nience but it is not a substitute for safe
driving operation. The driver should re-
main 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 following
conditions. Switch the high beam and low
beam manually.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
– When a light source similar to a head- light or tail light is in the vicinity of the
vehicle. – When the headlights of the oncoming
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.
– When there is a sudden, continuous change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a road that has
level differences.
– When driving on a road with many curves.
– When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense light towards the
front of the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is reflecting in-
tense light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured tire, being towed,
etc. ∙ The timing of switching the low beam and
high beam may change under the follow-
ing situations.
– The brightness of the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle.
– The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and the leading
vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is
illuminated.
– When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-wheeled
vehicle.
– Road conditions (incline, curve, the road surface, etc.).
– The number of passengers and the amount of luggage.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to open
the doors.
WARNING
∙ Always have the doors locked while driv-ing. Along with the use of seat belts, this
provides greater safety in the event of an
accident by helping to prevent persons
from being thrown from the vehicle. This
also helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors, and
will help keep out intruders.
∙ Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and or its systems, including entrap-
ment in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave children,
people who require the assistance of oth-
ers or pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people and
pets.
