IThe life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation.
It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals, (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights
is not reduced.
IIf the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above
signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.HEADLIGHT SWITCH
LightingTurn the switch to the AUTO position:
When the ignition key is in the ON position, the
tail light, headlight, instrument light and other
lights turn on automatically, depending on the
brightness of the surroundings. The headlight
will automatically turn off 5 minutes after the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position
and the driver's or front passenger's door is
opened.The headlight will also automatically turn off 45
seconds after a front door is opened and
closed.
When the light switch is turned to the
po-
sition, the headlight low or high beam will turn
off.
Turn the switch to the
position:
The front clearance, side marker, tail, license
plate and instrument lights will come on.
Turn the switch to theposition:
Headlights will come on and all the other lights
remain on.
Be sure not to put anything on top of the
photo sensor located on the top left-hand
side of the instrument panel. The photo
sensor controls the autolamp; if it is cov-
ered, the photo sensor reacts as if it is dark
and the headlights will illuminate.
Battery saver systemIWhen the headlight switch is in the
or
position while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the lights (including the
front fog light) will automatically turn off 5
minutes after the ignition switch has been
turned to the OFF position.

Replacing the xenon headlight bulb
Ð low beam
WARNINGHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble. Always have your xe-
non headlights replaced at an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer. For additional in-
formation, see ªHeadlight and turn
signal switchº in the ª2. Instruments and
controlsº section.

which uses a replaceable headlight (halogen)
bulb. A bulb can be replaced from inside the
engine compartment without removing the
headlight assembly.

High pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is scratched
or the bulb is dropped.
When handling the bulb, do not touch
the glass envelope.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Turn the connector to loosen it.
3. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake
or rotate the bulb when removing it.
