ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass readings.
Follow these instructions to set the variance for
your particular location if this happens:
1. Push theswitch for more than
3 seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance number on the zone map.
3. Push the
switch repeatedly until
the new zone number appears in the
display, then release the switch. After you
release the switch, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
● If the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment,
have the compass checked at an INFINITI
retailer.
● The compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up
or down a steep hill.(The compass returns to
the correct compass point when the vehicle
moves to an area where the geomagnetism
is stabilized.)
CAUTION
● Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc., which
are attached to the vehicle by means of a
magnet. They affect the operation of the
compass.
● When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel
or similar material dampened with glass
cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly
on the mirror as it may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

●Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto wiper
system when you use a car wash.
● Using genuine wiper blades is recommended
for proper operation of the rain-sensing auto
wiper system. (See “WINDSHIELD WIPER
BLADES” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section for wiper blade replace-
ment.)
To defog/defrost the rear window glass and
outside mirrors (if so equipped), start the en-
gine and push the switch
1on. The indicator
light
2will come on. Push the switch again to
turn the defroster off.
It will automatically turn off in approximately 15
minutes.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to scratch or damage the
rear window defroster.

The lights will also turn off after 15 minutes when
the lights remain illuminated after the ignition
switch has been pushed to the OFF or LOCK po-
sition to prevent the battery from becoming dis-
charged. When the auto interior illumination is set to the
OFF position (see “VEHICLE INFORMATION AND
SETTINGS” in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systems” section),
the lights will illuminate under the following
condition:
●
any door is opened with the ignition switch
in any position
– remain on while the door is opened. When the door is closed, the lights go off.
OFF position
When the switch is in the OFF position3, the
lights will not illuminate, regardless of the
condition.

The light on the vanity mirror will turn on when
the cover on the vanity mirror is opened.
When the cover is closed, the light will turn off.
The lights will also turn off after 15 minutes when

Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters
into one built-in device.
HomeLink Universal Transceiver:
● Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) de-
vices such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
● Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink will retain all program-
ming.
Once HomeLink Universal Transceiver is pro-
grammed, retain the original transmitter for fu-
ture programming procedures (Example: new ve-
hicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver
buttons should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, see “PROGRAMMING
HomeLink” later in this section.

Automatic anti-glare type
The inside mirror is designed so that it auto-
matically changes reflection according to the
intensity of the headlights of the following
vehicle.
The anti-glare system will be automatically
turned on when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position.
When the anti-glare system is turned on, the
indicator light
Awill illuminate and excessive
glare from the headlights of the vehicle behind
you will be reduced. Push the “” switch
Cto make the inside
rearview mirror operate normally. The indicator
light will turn off. Push the “I” switch
Dto turn
the system on.
Do not allow any object to cover the sensors
E
or apply glass cleaner on them. Doing so will
reduce the sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in
improper operation.
For the compass (if so equipped) operation, see
“COMPASS” in the “2. Instruments and con-
trols” section.
For the HomeLink Universal Transceiver opera-
tion, see “HomeLink UNIVERSAL TRANS-
CEIVER” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on the
passenger side are closer than they appear. Be
careful when moving to the right. Using only
this mirror could cause an accident. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to
properly judge distances to other objects.
Adjusting outside mirrors
The outside mirror control switch is located on
the armrest.

● Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
● Lock all doors.
● Position seat and adjust head restraints.
● Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
● Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
● Check the operation of warning lights when
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
