(where fitted)
The outside rear-view mirrors will be defogged when
the defogger switch is activated.
XENON HEADLIGHTS (where fitted)
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they produce
a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced at
an authorised NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
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 head-
lights are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop and have the headlights ad-
justed correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on, its
brightness or colour varies slightly. However, the
colour and brightness will soon stabilise.
The life of xenon headlights will be shortened by
frequent on-off operation. It is generally desir-
able not to turn off the headlights for short inter-
vals (for example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal).
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burning
out, the brightness will drastically decrease, the
light will start blinking, or the colour of the light will become reddish. If one or more of the above
signs occur, contact a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
NISSAN recommends you to consult the local regu-
lations concerning the use of lights.

“Friendly Lighting”
The “Friendly Lighting” function is a convenience
facility. It allows you to provide lighting from the
vehicle after the ignition switch has been turned to
the LOCK position and the headlight switch is in the
OFF or AUTO (where fitted) position. Pulling the
headlight switch toward you once will activate the
headlight for approximately 30 seconds. After that
period of time, it will automatically switch off.
It is possible to pull the headlight switch up to four
times to increase the lighting period up to 2 minutes.
NOTE
The “Friendly Lighting” function can be cancelled
by switching the ignition switch to the Acc or ON
position again.
Battery save function
The battery save feature prevents your vehicle from
discharging the battery after you have left the exter-
nal lights, map lamps or room lamps on when exit-
ing the vehicle. This occurs when the ignition switch
or ignition knob is in the “OFF” or LOCK position.
NOTE
The next time the engine is started the external
lights, map lamps or room lamp will come on

HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
SWITCH (where fitted)
Depending on the number of occupants in the ve-
hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When travelling with no heavy load on a flat road,
select position 0.
AUTOMATIC AIMING CONTROL
(xenon headlights)
Vehicles with xenon headlights are equipped with
an automatic levelling system. The headlight axis is
controlled automatically.
