2023 INFINITI QX60 Wiper

• Close the sunshade (if so equipped) whenthe Smart Rear View Mirror display screen
is unclear due to the strong external light.
• When LED headlights are viewed on the Smart Rear View Mirror display, the im-
ages may flicker. This is normal.
• Due to diffuse reflection from external en- vironment, images on the screen may
flicker. This is not a malfunction.
• A quick movement of an object may not be able to display on the camera view screen.
This is not a malfunction.
• Turn on the headlights at twilight or in a tunnel, etc.
• The Smart Rear View Mirror mode (cam- era view mode) display is different from
the conventional rearview mirror. Objects
in the display may differ from actual dis-
tance. Do not solely rely on the Smart Rear
View Mirror. Always rely on your own op-
eration to avoid accidents.
• Eyestrain may occur if he brightness of the camera view display is adjusted to an ex-
cessively bright level. Adjust the bright-
ness properly to avoid eyestrain. • Use the rear window wiper when it rains. If
the camera view image is still unclear when
the rear window wiper is in operation,
check the deterioration of the rear win-
dow wiper blade.
• When using the rear window wiper, image on the screen may flicker. This is not a
malfunction.
• Defog rear window with defroster when rear window is fogged. Use the conven-
tional rearview mirror mode until the rear
window is fully defogged.
• The display of the Smart Rear View Mirror may become hot. This is not a malfunction.
• The color of an object in the distance or in the dark may be difficult to recognize. This
is not a malfunction.
System maintenance (Smart Rear View Mir-
ror):
• Always keep the mirror and camera area of the rear window clean.
• Clean the mirror and the camera lens with dry soft cloth.
• When cleaning the camera area of the rear window, use a soft cloth dampened with a
little neutral detergent. Dry with a soft
cloth. • If the image on the Smart Rear View Mirror
display screen is still unclear even after
cleaning the camera area of the rear win-
dow, an oil film may be adhering to the rear
window glass. Clean the rear window glass
with an oil film remover.
• Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, or any similar material to clean the mirror or cam-
era lens. It will cause a discoloration, dete-
rioration or a system malfunction.
• Do not attach a sticker (including transpar- ent material) on the camera area of the rear
window.

Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering sys-
tem to help keep your vehicle near the center
of the lane when driving. The Steering Assist
is combined with the Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC) system. For additional information,
see “Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (for ve-
hicles with ProPILOT Assist)” (P. 5-97).
The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
• The ICC system is activated.
• Lane markers on both sides are clearlydetected.
• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the ve- hicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph [60
km/h]).
• The driver grips the steering wheel.
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.
• The turn signals are not operated.
• The windshield wiper is not operated in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steering As-
sist function is disabled after the wiper op-
erates for approximately 10 seconds).

–When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs
– When driving on a bumpy road sur-
face, such as an uneven dirt road
– When driving on sharp curves or
winding roads
– When driving on repeated uphill and
downhill roads
• Do not use the Steering Assist under the
following conditions because the system
will not operate properly:
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (for ex-
ample, tire wear, abnormal tire pres-
sure, installation of a spare tire, tire
chains, nonstandard wheels)
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake or suspension
parts
– When an object such as a sticker or
cargo obstructs the camera
– When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or luggage
area of your vehicle
– When the vehicle load capacity is
exceeded
– When towing a trailer or other vehicle •
Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the beep may
not be heard.
• For the ProPILOT Assist system to oper-
ate properly, the windshield in front of
the camera must be clean. Replace worn
wiper blades. The correct size wiper
blades must be used to help make sure
the windshield is kept clean. Only use
Genuine INFINITI wiper blades, or
equivalent wiper blades, that are specifi-
cally designed for use on your vehicle
model and model year. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for the
correct parts for your vehicle.
Steering Assist temporary standby
Automatic standby due to driving operation:
When the driver activates the turn signal, the
Steering Assist is temporarily placed in a
standby mode. (The Steering Assist restarts
automatically when the operating conditions
are met again.)
Automatic standby:
In the following cases, a chime sounds and
the Steering Assist is placed in a temporary
standby mode. (The Steering Assist restarts
automatically when the operating conditions
are met again.) • When lane markers on both sides are no
longer detected
• When a vehicle ahead is no longer detected under approximately 37 mph (60 km/h)
Steering Assist cancel
Under the following conditions, the Steering
Assist cancels, a warning message is dis-
played and the Steering Assist status indica-
tor and the Steering Assist indicator turn off:
• When unusual lane markers appear in thetraveling lane or when the lane marker can-
not be correctly detected for some time due
to certain conditions (for example, a snow
rut, the reflection of light on a rainy day, the
presence of several unclear lane markers)
• When the windshield wiper operates in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steering As-
sist is disabled when the wiper operates for
more than approximately 10 seconds)
Action to take:
Turn the ICC system off using the CANCEL
switch. When the conditions listed above are
no longer present, turn the ICC system on

TIRE EQUIPMENT
1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed toprovide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance of
these tires will be substantially reduced in
snowy and icy conditions. If you operate
your vehicle on snowy or icy roads,
INFINITI recommends the use of MUD &
SNOW or ALL SEASON TIRES on all four
wheels. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for the tire type, size,
speed rating and availability information.
2. For additional traction on icy roads, stud- ded tires may be used. However, some
U.S. states and Canadian provinces pro-
hibit their use. Check local, state and pro-
vincial laws before installing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
3. Tire chains may be used. For additional information, see “Tire chains” (P. 8-38).
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) model
If you install snow tires, they must also be the
same size, brand, construction and tread pat-
ter on all four wheels.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items
be carried in the vehicle during winter:
• A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to re-move ice and snow from the windows and
wiper blades.
• A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack to give it firm support.
• A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
• Extra washer fluid to refill the windshield- washer fluid reservoir.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
• Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain),
very cold snow or ice can be slick and very
hard to drive on. The vehicle will have
much less traction or “grip” under these
conditions. Try to avoid driving on wet
ice until the road is salted or sanded.
• Whatever the condition, drive with
caution. Accelerate and slow down with
care. If accelerating or downshifting too
fast, the drive wheels will lose even more
traction. •
Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.
• Allow greater following distances on
slippery roads.
• Watch for slippery spots (glare ice).
These may appear on an otherwise clear
road in shaded areas. If a patch of ice is
seen ahead, brake before reaching it. Try
not to brake while on the ice, and avoid
any sudden steering maneuvers.
• Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads.
• Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gases
under your vehicle. Keep snow clear of
the exhaust pipe and from around your
vehicle.

CLEANING
If your windshield is not clear after using the
windshield-washer or if a wiper blade chat-
ters when running, wax or other material may
be on the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a
washer solution or a mild detergent. Your
windshield is clean if beads do not form when
rinsing with clear water.
Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth
soaked in a washer solution or a mild deter-
gent. Then rinse the blades with clear water.
If your windshield is still not clear after clean-
ing the blades and using the wiper, replace
the blades.
CAUTION
Worn windshield wiper blades can damage
the windshield and impair driver vision.
REPLACING
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.
To replace the windshield wiper blades, fol-
low the procedure below:
1. When the ignition switch is ON or within 60 seconds after placing the ignition
switch from the ON to OFF position,
place the windshield wiper and washer
lever into the OFF position.
2. Rapidly lift the windshield wiper and washer lever
OAupwards twice within 0.5
seconds. This action will cause the wipers
to automatically take the service position. 3. Once the wipers are in the service posi-
tion, push the release tab
OB.
4. Move the wiper blade
OCdown the wiper
arm and remove.
5. Insert the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until it clicks into place.
6. Rotate the wiper blade so the dimple is in the groove.

and release. This action will cause the
wipers to resume the set position.
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 hood, be careful
not to let wax get into the washer nozzle
OF.
This may cause clogging or improper
windshield-washer operation. If wax gets
into the nozzle, remove it with a needle or
small pin

Parking brake:Check the parking brake op-
eration regularly. The vehicle should be se-
curely held on a fairly steep hill with only the
parking brake applied. If the parking brake
needs adjustment, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat
belt system (for example, buckles, anchors,
adjusters and retractors) operate properly
and smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying,
wear or damage.
Seats: Check seat position controls such as
seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc., to en-
sure they operate smoothly and all latches
lock securely in every position. Check that the
head restraints/headrests move up and
down smoothly and the locks (if so equipped)
hold securely in all latched positions.
Steering wheel: Check for changes in the
steering system, such as excessive free play,
hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes: Make sure all
warning lights and chimes are operating
properly.
Windshield defroster: Check that the air
comes out of the defroster outlets properly
and in sufficient quantity when operating the
heater or air conditioner. Windshield wiper and washer*:
Check that
the wipers and washer operate properly and
that the wipers do not streak.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery (for maintenance free batteries)*:
This vehicle is equipped with a sealed main-
tenance free battery. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.).
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
Brake fluid level*: Make sure that the brake
fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines
on the reservoir. Engine coolant level*:
Check the coolant level
when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belt*: Make sure the drive belt is
not frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking
the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine. Wait more than 15 minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
Exhaust system: Make sure there are no
loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound
of the exhaust seems unusual or there is a
smell of exhaust fumes, immediately have the
exhaust system inspected. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. For additional information, see “Ex-
haust gas (carbon monoxide)” (P. 5-4).
Fluid leaks: Check under the vehicle for fuel,
oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping
from the air conditioner after use is normal. If
you should notice any leaks or if fuel fumes
are evident, check for the cause and have it
corrected immediately.
Radiator and hoses: Check the front of the
radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves,
etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure
the hoses have no cracks, deformation, rot or
loose connections.
