RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER
SYSTEM
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
unexpectedly and cause an injury or may
damage a wiper. •
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,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are stuck
on or around the sensor. The wipers may
also operate when exhaust gas or mois-
ture 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 sen-
sor even if it is raining.
• Using Genuine INFINITI wiper blades is
recommended for proper operation of
the rain-sensing auto wiper system. For
additional information, see “Windshield
wiper blades” (P. 8-18).
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
O1. 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
O3(high) or toward the rearO2(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 low or high position.
The rain-sensing feature may be disabled.
For additional information, see “Vehicle in-
formation display-7 inch (18 cm) Type A”
(P. 2-22) or “Vehicle information display-12.3
inch (31 cm) Type B” (P. 2-44).

• 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.

When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take care to pre-
vent serious accidental injury to yourself or dam-
age to the vehicle. The following are general
precautions which should be closely observed.
WARNING
• Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply
the parking brake securely and block the
wheels to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing. Push the park button to engage the
P (Park) position.
• Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
or LOCK position when performing any
parts replacement or repairs.
• If you must work with the engine run-
ning, keep your hands, clothing, hair and
tools away from moving fans, belts and
any other moving parts.
• It is advisable to secure or remove any
loose clothing and remove any jewelry,
such as rings, watches, etc. before work-
ing on your vehicle.
• Always wear eye protection whenever
you work on your vehicle.
• Your vehicle is equipped with an auto-
matic engine cooling fan. It may come on
at any time without warning, even if the
ignition switch is in the OFF position and the engine is not running. To avoid injury,
always disconnect the negative battery
cable before working near the fan.
• If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases to
escape.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is necessary
to work under the vehicle, support it
with safety stands.
•
Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from the fuel tank and battery.
• Because the fuel lines on gasoline engine
models are under high pressure even
when the engine is off, it is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for ser-
vice of the fuel filter or fuel lines.
CAUTION
• Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Turn the engine off and
wait until it cools down.
• Avoid contact with used engine oil and
coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil,
engine coolant and/or other vehicle flu-
ids can damage the environment. Always
conform to local regulations for disposal
of vehicle fluid. •
Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
• Never connect or disconnect the battery
or any transistorized component while
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
NOTE:
If the battery is completely drained the
transmission will not manually shift to other
positions.
This “Do-it-yourself” section gives instruc-
tions regarding only those items which are
relatively easy for an owner to perform.
A Genuine INFINITI service manual is also
available. For additional information, see
“Owner’s Manual/Service Manual order in-
formation” (P. 10-36).
You should be aware that incomplete or im-
proper servicing may result in operating diffi-
culties or excessive emissions, and could af-
fect warranty coverage. If in doubt about any
servicing, it is recommended that you have it
done by an INFINITI retailer.
