this is not really a tip, but just something i found. inside the manual pouch are two nice infiniti key chains

 

and a nice infiniti pen. i use it to write down my oil changes

 

For those of you who think the rearview mirror is too low and may block your field of vision (like me) there is hope. The mirror has hinged at two locations, at the windshield and at the mirror, this means you can pivot the mirror higher, and then still adjust the angle to see out the rear window properly.

I found this out working on my wife's '03 Murano, hard wiring the radar detector into the rearview mirror and noticed this kewl feature on this car (had it over five years and never knew this). Luckily Nissan was nice enough to include it on the G also.

It only raises the mirror maybe 3/4" vertically, but after I moved mine it doesnt feel like I have to duck down to see out in certain instances.

I hope this is not an obvious feature on cars now, or like on the 4th page in the manual or something. I never read "To Kill a Mockingbird" in HS like I was 'sposed to either, LOL.

 

I never noticed. Thanks


Edit: It's true...I just moved my mirror about 3/4in higher.

 

I have to check it out. Seems to be smart idea. Thanks for sharing.

 

Every vehicle I can remember owning had a rearview mirror that hinged in two locations. Now I'm going to start staring at people's rearview mirrors. Sorry!

 

Maybe all mine did as well, took me 5 years to find out my Mo' had it. I new that sand was lurking around the corner of my Vaseline.

 

If you get a new cell phone use the 'replace' option when pairing the phone.
That way your phone book will go to the new phone.

New phone resets phone book?

 

good stuff, good stuff

 

Just found out another one the other day, the rear defrost will automatically shut off once the rear window is clear!

 

If you use this feature, be sure to stack a few playing cards with your credit card when storing.

I placed my credit card there and over time it was all bent up.
So my card would sometimes get stuck in credit card readers.

 

It's timed. It does not know if your rear window is cleared when it goes off.
In the manual:
To defog/defrost the rear window glass and outside mirrors (if so equipped), start the engine and push the switch on. The indicator light will come on.
Push the switch again to turn the defroster off. It will automatically turn off in approximately 15 minutes.

 

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but there's a way to get "fresh air" without having the A/C or the fan on (i.e. letting fresh air enter without the fan running). To do so:

1) Press OFF to shut off the fan
2) Press MODE to select how you want the fresh air distributed
3) Use Temp. dial to set the temperature

You will notice the on-screen display will NOT show the "fan" meter icon and the A/C will not turn on.

 

Not necessarily a tip, but I just noticed tonight that there is no light under the hood.
I was a bit surprised by that, but if that's my biggest complaint, I'm doing pretty darn good.

 

I've noticed that the underhood light is really a thing of the past...there was no light in my 2006 Audi A4, my wife's loaded up 08 Highlander Ltd, our 04 Honda Pilot, etc...I'm hard pressed to think of the last underhood light in our massive family history of vehicles...maybe my '95 Mazda Millenia (?)
