HEADLIGHTS
ReplacingIf replacement is required, see a NISSAN dealer.
Xenon headlight bulb:
WARNINGHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble the headlight assembly.
Always have your xenon headlights re-
placed at a NISSAN dealer. For addi-
tional information, see ªHeadlight and
turn signal switchº in the ª2. Instruments
and controlsº section.
Halogen headlight bulb:
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. A
bulb can be replaced from under the engine
compartment without removing the headlight
assembly.
CAUTION
IHigh pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the halogen bulb. The bulb
may break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
IWhen handling the bulb, do not touch
the glass envelope.
IDo not touch the bulb.
IUse the same number and wattage as
originally installed:
Bulb no. (Wattage)
D2R (35W) - Xenon low-beam
H7 (55W) - High-beam
or
H7 (55W) - Halogen low-beam
H1 (55W) - High-beam
IDo not leave the bulb out of the
headlight reflector for a long period
of time as dust, moisture, and smoke
may enter the headlight body and
affect the performance of the head-
light.

TOWING LOAD/SPECIFICATION CHART

TOWING LOAD1,000 (454)

TOWING SAFETY
Trailer hitchChoose a proper hitch for your vehicle and
trailer. Make sure the trailer hitch is securely
attached to the vehicle, to help avoid personal
injury or property damage due to sway caused
by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing
trucks.
CAUTION
IDo not use axle-mounted hitches.
IThe hitch should not be attached to
or affect the operation of the impact-
absorbing bumper.
IDo not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, etc. to install atrailer hitch.
ITo reduce the possibility of addi-
tional damage if your vehicle is
struck from the rear, where practical,
remove the hitch and/or receiver
when not in use. After the hitch is
removed, seal the bolt holes to pre-
vent exhaust fumes, water or dust
from entering the passenger com-
partment.
IRegularly check that all hitch mount-
ing bolts are securely mounted.
Tire pressuresIWhen towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tires
to the recommended cold tire pressure indi-
cated on the tire placard (located on the
inside of the console box lid).
ITrailer tire condition, size, load rating and
proper inflation pressure should be in accor-
dance with the trailer and tire manufacturers'
specifications.Safety chainAlways use a suitable chain between your ve-
hicle and the trailer. The chain should becrossed and should be attached to the hitch, not
to the vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to leave
enough slack in the chain to permit turning
corners.
Trailer lightsTrailer lights should comply with federal and/or
local regulations. When wiring the vehicle for
towing, connect the stop and tail light pickup
into the vehicle electrical circuit at a point be-
tween the sensor and stop light or light switch.Trailer brakesIf your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal and/or local
regulations and that it is properly installed.
WARNING
Never connect a trailer brake system
directly to the vehicle brake system.Pre-towing tipsIBe certain your vehicle maintains a level
position when a loaded and/or unloaded
trailer is hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it
has an abnormal nose-up or nose-down con-
dition; check for improper tongue load, over-Technical and consumer information
