2022 Infiniti QX50 Wipers and Washers | How To USe 

The wipers and washers on the 2022 Infiniti QX50 are an important part of its safety and comfort features. These parts were carefully made to make sure that you can see clearly in all kinds of driving situations. The QX50 has rain-sensing wipers that change speed instantly based on how hard it’s raining. This lets the driver see clearly and without any problems. Also, the windshield washers are placed in a way that makes them effective at spreading washer fluid around the windshield and cleaning it of dirt, debris, and dust. This system, which includes warming wiper blades for cold weather, shows how safety-conscious the QX50 is by making it easier to see and giving drivers peace of mind no matter the weather or road conditions.
