tened. At the same time, the chime will
sound for about 6 seconds unless the
driver's seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light may also illu-

is not fastened when the front passen-
ger's seat is occupied (if so equipped).
For 5 seconds after the ignition switch is
in the ON position, the system does not
activate the warning light for the front
passenger.
If the light blinks or illuminates even if
the driver's and front passenger's seat
belts are fastened, it may indicate that
the pre-crash seat belt system (if so
equipped) has a malfunction. Have an
INFINITI dealer check and repair the
system.
See ªSeat beltsº in the ª1. Safety Ð
Seats, seat belts and supplemental re-
straint systemº section for precautions on
seat belt usage.

damage to the emission control system.
Slip indicator lightThe light will blink when the vehicle dy-
namic control (VDC) system is operating,
thus alerting the driver to the fact that the

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE
O When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an elec-
tric shock, never attempt to modify or
disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI
dealer.
O Xenon headlights provide considerably
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 vehicle to an INFINITI 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 bright-
ness will soon stabilize.
O The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to
turn off the headlights for short inter-
vals (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.
O If a xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact an INFINITI
dealer.

lights will remain on until the ignition
switch is turned off.

active, tail lights on your vehicle are not on.
It is necessary at dusk to turn on your head-
lights. Failure to do so could cause an acci-
dent injuring yourself and others. Instrument brightness control The instrument brightness control oper-
