XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so
equipped)
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 xenon headlights replaced at a
NISSAN dealer.

Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your ve-
hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have
the headlights adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.

When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.
WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright
compared to conventional headlights. If
the xenon headlights hit the rearview
mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
shield of the oncoming vehicle, the
driver of these vehicles may have diffi-
culty driving because of the brightness.
Use the headlight aiming control switch
to lower the light axis. See earlier in this
section for information on xenon head-
lights.DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM

The daytime running light will remain on until the
ignition switch is turned to the ACC or OFF
position.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system
is active, tail lights on your vehicle are
not on. It is necessary at dusk to turn on
your headlights. Failure to do so could
cause an accident injuring yourself and
others.

WARNING

The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.

Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. On
hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.

Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.

Positioning of the heating or air con-
ditioning controls should not be
done while driving, so full attention
may be given to vehicle operation.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.

trolled automatically.
3. You can individually set driver and front pas-
senger side temperature using each tem-
perature control knob. When the DUAL but-
ton is pushed or passenger side temperature
control knobis turned, the DUAL indicator
