Take Care of Your INFINITI Now, Pay on Your Terms

As temperatures drop and holiday travel picks up, now is the perfect time to make sure your INFINITI is ready for winter driving. From icy mornings to long road trips, a few simple checks, combined with the advanced technology built into every INFINITI, can help deliver the confidence, comfort, and safety you expect all season long. INFINITI vehicles are engineered and tested in extreme winter conditions across the U.S. and Canada, including sub-zero temperatures, snow-covered roads, and low-traction surfaces. Features like Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, Snow Mode, advanced climate control systems, and driver-assist technologies are designed to perform when winter challenges arise. Start with Your Tires Cold weather can cause tire pressure to drop, reducing traction and handling. Checking tire pressure regularly is essential, and many INFINITI models make it easy with the Tire Fill Assistant and Easy-Fill Tire Alert system—no gauge required. Inspect tread depth and plan for replacements if wear is visible. Drivers who frequently encounter snow or ice may also benefit from winter tires or approved tire chains. Maintain Clear Winter Visibility Visibility is critical during winter driving. Replace worn wiper blades and use winter-grade washer fluid that won’t freeze. Many INFINITI models include smart fluid-level sensors to alert you when washer fluid runs low. For easy blade replacement, INFINITI’s convenient wiper service position helps make maintenance quick and hassle-free. Before driving, always clear snow and ice from headlights, mirrors, windows, and cameras. Heated mirrors, LED headlamps, and available driver-assist features help enhance visibility and confidence when road conditions change quickly. Check Your Battery Before the Cold Sets In Cold temperatures place extra strain on your vehicle’s battery, especially as it ages. Inspect terminals for corrosion and make sure your battery is charging properly—particularly if you take short trips or your vehicle sits for extended periods. INFINITI vehicles are rigorously tested for reliable cold starts, even in extreme winter conditions. Protect Your Interior Winter brings moisture, mud, and road salt inside your vehicle. All-season rubber floor mats help protect your interior and make cleanup easier. Keeping your cabin clean also helps preserve the luxury materials INFINITI is known for. Be Prepared for the Unexpected A winter emergency kit is a smart addition to any vehicle. Items like jumper cables, a flashlight, blanket, ice scraper, phone charger, water, and snacks can provide peace of mind during winter travel. Enjoy Winter Comfort the INFINITI Way From heated seats and steering wheels to dual-zone climate control and advanced noise insulation, INFINITI vehicles are designed to keep you comfortable no matter the forecast. Features like Remote Engine Start, ProPILOT Assist, and hands-free liftgate access make winter routines and holiday travel easier than ever.

Would you try to walk a few miles in the rain wearing just flip flops? How about loafers in the snow? Those are examples of using the wrong equipment for the conditions. If you don't want to walk to work this winter, it's time to make sure your car has the right footwear. Even in regions that don't see significant snowfall or freezing temperatures, road conditions can turn from clear and dry to dark and treacherous in the span of just an hour - even less in some cases. Nobody wants the stress of getting caught unprepared, and it can put you and your loved ones in danger. What kind of shape are your tires in? If your car has all-season tires, it's important that those tires have enough tread depth and proper wear. Get a few years and tens of thousands of miles on your tires, and they may not have what it takes to grip when you need it most. Your dealer's service department knows what to look for and will be able to suggest the best course of action. Winter Tire Benefits In other parts of the country, many drivers opt for a full set of winter tires. Winter tires can make all the difference in regions where temperatures drop below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. That's the approximate temperature below which the rubber in regular tires begins to get stiff and lose its ability to grip the road surface. Winter tires are made from special rubber formulations designed to provide maximum traction in even the worst conditions. They stay flexible in colder temperatures for better grip, and the tread design cuts through snow, instead of clogging up and letting you down. When you consider the difficulty, expense and potential danger of an accident, a set of winter tires seems like an easy choice. Many dealerships make it simple, too. They know exactly what will fit your car and how to install it right. Your dealer can easily change over your tires and wheels for you, and many offer seasonal specials. This winter, make sure you can stop, steer, and get moving. Get the right equipment for the job. If you live where temps dip below 45 degrees, winter tires are the right equipment for maximum performance. Even if you don't live where it freezes or snows, make sure your tires are ready for whatever you might encounter. They are, after all, the only thing connecting you to the road.

Counterfeit auto parts have been flooding the market. They can fool even the most experienced eyes because they often carry trademarks and packaging of trusted brands. Instead of meeting an automaker's official standards, counterfeit parts are often dangerously inferior. A Growing Problem The National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, part of Immigration and Custom Enforcement, warns: "Law enforcement has identified a trend of counterfeited parts that is growing at an alarming rate." According to Bruce Foucart, NIPRCC acting director, "at best these parts will not perform as well as authentic parts. At worst, they can fail catastrophically with potentially fatal consequences." Serious Safety Concerns The results from counterfeit parts can be inconvenient at best, and as bad as catastrophic failure, an accident, or injury. Parts seized by the authorities have included maintenance items such as oil filters, air filters and spark plugs, and can quickly get into dangerous territory. Critical safety equipment including brake components, steering linkages, suspension parts, and engine parts are no place to take risks, and suspect parts have identified in all of those categories. The parts that are specifically designed for your vehicle are important in keeping you and your occupants safe. How to Protect Yourself How do you protect your vehicle, yourself, and your loved ones? One of the best ways is to use your dealer's service department. Not only can you expect the shelves of its parts department to be stocked with the most trustworthy parts, but the factory-trained technicians will know the ins and outs of your specific model. They work on vehicles like yours every single day and know exactly what needs to be done. Having a finely-tuned sense of caution can be helpful, as well. Carefully investigate offers which seem too good to be true. Considering that your vehicle is something you use almost every day, and you trust it to get you wherever you need to go safely, you need to be vigilant. With the support of your car's manufacturer, the service department at your dealership is the best way to ensure you're getting exactly what you paid for. Stop by today to find out if there are any specials going on and make sure your vehicle is being fitted with all the right parts.
