SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during winter:
●
A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove
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 window washer fluid to refill the reser-
voir tank.
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 accel-
erating 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 slip-
pery 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 steer-
ing maneuvers.
●
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads.
●
Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gases un-
der your vehicle. Keep snow clear of the ex-
haust pipe and from around your vehicle.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so
equipped)
Engine block heaters are available through
INFINITI dealers to assist in cold temperature
starting. The engine block heater should be
used when the outside temperature is 20°F
(
⫺
7°C) or lower.
To use the engine block heater
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the engine
block heater cord.
3. Plug the engine block heater cord into a
grounded 3-wire, 3-pronged extension
cord.
4. Plug the extension cord into a Ground
Fault Interrupt (GFI) protected, grounded
110-volt AC (VAC) outlet.
5. The engine block heater must be plugged
in for at least 2 - 4 hours, depending on
outside temperatures, to properly warm
the engine coolant. Use an appropriate
timer to turn the engine block heater on.
6. Before starting the engine, unplug and
properly store the cord to keep it away
from moving parts.
