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).

Instruments and controls2-75
–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
again.

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
