To defog/defrost the rear window glass and
outside mirrors, start the engine and push the
switch
1on. The indicator light2will come
on. Push the switch again to turn the defroster
off.
It will automatically turn off in approximately 30
minutes.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to scratch or damage the
rear window defroster.
XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH 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 an INFINITI retailer.
● 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 retailer 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. ●
The life of xenon headlights will be shortened
by frequent on-off operation. It is generally
desirable not to turn off the headlights for
short intervals (for example, when the ve-
hicle 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.
● If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burn-
ing out, the brightness will drastically de-
crease, 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 retailer.

traveling lane with detectable lane markers.
(See “LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM/LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion.)
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW)/Blind Spot Inter-
vention (BSI) indicator lights, located next to
the outside mirrors, will illuminate if the radar
sensors detect a vehicle in the detection zone. If
the turn signal is activated in the direction of
the detected vehicle, a chime sounds twice and
the BSW/BSI indicator light will flash. (See
“BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM/BLIND
SPOT INTERVENTION™ (BSI) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The warning systems switch is automatically
turned on when the engine is started, and the
warning systems ON indicator
1on the switch
illuminates.
To cancel the warning systems, push the warn-
ing systems switch to turn off the system. The
warning systems ON indicator will turn off. NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning systems
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default status of
the LDW, BSW and FCW systems to OFF so that
these systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this procedure is
repeated, the default status will return to ON.
The vehicle should be driven with the Intelligent
Brake Assist (IBA) system on for most driving
conditions.
The Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system will
sound a warning chime and the vehicle ahead
detection indicator light blinks to alert the
driver when the vehicle is traveling too close to
the vehicle ahead. The system will also apply
the brake control if necessary.
To turn off the system, push the IBA OFF switch.
The
indicator will illuminate.
The IBA system will remain in the last ON or OFF
state it was left in until it is manually changed
by pushing the IBA OFF switch.

charged battery. 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 30 minutes
when the lights remain illuminated to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged. The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the light
will turn off.
The light will also turn off after 30 minutes when
the light remains illuminated after the ignition

INSIDE MIRROR
Adjust the height and the angle of the inside
mirror to the desired position.

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.

tion, see “HomeLink UNIVERSAL TRANS-
CEIVER” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.
