WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS

It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (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 head-
lights is not reduced.
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will dras-
tically 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
retailer.

HEADLIGHTS
Replacing
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of
the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This is not a malfunction. If
large drops of water collect inside the lens,
contact an INFINITI retailer.
Xenon headlight bulb (if so equipped):
If replacement is required, see an INFINITI
retailer.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an electric
shock, never attempt to modify or disas-
semble. Always have your xenon headlights
replaced at an INFINITI retailer. For addi-
tional information, see “Headlight and turn
signal switch” (P.2-36).
