SWITCH OPERATION
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solution may freeze on the windshield and obscure your vision which may lead to an accident. Warm the wind- shield with the defroster before you wash the windshield.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the washer continu-
ously for more than 30 seconds.
• Do not operate the washer if the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir is empty.
• Do not fill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir with windshield- washer fluid concentrates at full strength. Some methyl alcohol based windshield-washer fluid con- centrates may permanently stain the grille if spilled while filling the windshield-washer fluid reservoir.
• Pre-mix windshield-washer fluid concentrates 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 in- terrupted 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. After approximately 1 minute, turn the switch on again to operate the 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 in- sects are stuck on or around the sen- sor. 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 opera- tion of the rain-sensing auto wiper system. For additional information, see “Windshield wiper blades” (P. 8-19).
The rain-sensing auto wiper system can automatically turn on the wipers and ad- just 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 rear O2 (Low) or toward the front O3 (High). – 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. 2-46).
