To defrost the rear window glass and outside
mirrors:
Start the engine and push the rear window de-
froster switch. The rear window defroster indica-
tor light on the display screen comes on. Push the
switch again to turn the defroster off.
The rear window defroster automatically turns off
after approximately 15 minutes.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or dam-
age the rear window defroster.
XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
cHIGH 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 xe-
non headlights replaced at an INFINITI
retailer.
● Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional head-
lights. If they are not correctly aimed,
they might temporarily blind an oncom-
ing 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 opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to turn
off the headlights for short intervals
(for example, when the vehicle stops at
a traffic signal) .
● If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will be-
come reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact an
INFINITI retailer.

After the headlights automatically turn off with the
headlight switch in the
orposition,
the headlights will illuminate again if the headlight
switch is moved to the OFF position and then
turned to the
orposition.
CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature au-
tomatically turns off the headlights after a
period of time, you should turn the head-
light switch to the OFF position when the
engine is not running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.
Headlight aiming control
Depending on the number of occupants in the
vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight
axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is
traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may di-
rectly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead
or the windshield of the oncoming vehicle. The
light axis can be lowered with the operation of the
switch.
The larger the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When traveling without a heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.
WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright
compared to conventional headlights. If
the xenon headlights hit the rearview mir-
ror of the vehicle ahead or the windshield
of oncoming vehicle, the driver of these
vehicles may have difficulty driving be-
cause of the brightness. Use the headlight
aiming control switch to lower the light
axis. See “Xenon headlights” earlier in
this section for additional information.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
(Canada only)
The daytime running lights automatically illumi-
nate when the engine is started with the parking
brake released. The daytime running lights oper-
ate with the headlight switch in the OFF position
or in the
position. Turn the headlight switch
to the
position for full illumination when
driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the engine is
started, the daytime running lights do not illumi-
nate. The daytime running lights illuminate when
the parking brake is released. The daytime run-
ning lights will remain on until the ignition switch
is placed in the OFF position.

NOTE:
The heated steering wheel switch is
equipped with a 30 minute timer. After the
switch has been activated for 30 minutes,
the system will automatically turn off. If the
surface temperature of the steering wheel
is above 68°F (20°C) when the switch is
turned on, the system will not heat the
steering wheel. This is not a malfunction.The warning systems switch is used to turn on
and off the warning systems (Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) , Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW) systems)
that are activated using the settings menu on the
center display.
When the warning systems switch is turned off,
the indicator
1on the switch is off. The indicator
will also be off if all of the warning systems are
deactivated using the settings menu. The FCW system will sound a warning chime and
the vehicle ahead detection indicator light blinks
to alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to
the vehicle ahead. (See “Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) system” in the “Starting and
driving” section) .
The LDW system will sound a warning chime and
blink LDW/LDP indicator light (orange) to alert
the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to either
the left or the right of a traveling lane with detect-
able lane markers. (See “Lane Departure Warn-
ing (LDW) system/Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion) .
The BSW system will turn on the BSW/Blind
Spot Intervention (BSI) indicator lights, located
next to the outside mirrors, 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 Warn-
ing (BSW) system/Blind Spot Intervention™
(BSI) system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion) .

CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could result
in a discharged battery.The Type A system does not have an IV
1on the
back of the mirror. Move the mirror to see if the IV
is present. If the IV is not on the mirror, use the
procedure in this section to program the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. If the IV is on
the mirror, use the procedure in “HomeLink®
universal transceiver (Type B) (if so equipped)”.
The HomeLink® 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)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity 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 the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases) .
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes. For
additional information, refer to “Program-
ming HomeLink®” later in this section.

WARNING
● Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage door opener which cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing garage
door and then automatically stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
● During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
● Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver.
