∙ 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

– 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

XENON HEADLIGHTS
(if so equipped)
WARNING
cHIGH VOLTAGE
∙ When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an elec-
tric shock, never attempt to modify or
disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced by a certified service
technician. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ Xenon headlights provide considerably more light than conventional headlights.
If they are not correctly aimed, they
might temporarily blind an oncoming
driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights are
not aimed correctly, immediately take
your vehicle to a certified service techni-
cian and have the headlights adjusted
correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned
on, its brightness or color varies slightly.
However, the color and brightness will soon
stabilize.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
(DRL) SYSTEM
The LED portion of the headlights automati-
cally illuminate at 100% intensity when the
engine is started and the parking brake re-
leased. The LED Daytime Running Lights
(DRL) system operates with the headlight
switch in the OFF position. When you turn
the headlight switch to the

full illumination, the LED lights switch from
LED DRL system to the park function.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the LED DRL system does
not illuminate. The LED DRL system illumi-
nates when the parking brake is released. The
LED DRL system will remain on until the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch on for interior controls and switches
to illuminate, as those remain off while the
switch is in the OFF position.
WARNING
When the LED DRL system is active, tail
lights on your vehicle are not on. It is neces-
sary at dusk to turn on your headlights.
Failure to do so could cause an accident in-

The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be
reduced even if the accelerator is depressed
to the floor. If maximum engine power is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC
system off.To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
