INSTRUMENT PANEL
ZONE VARIATION CHANGE PROCE-
DURE
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance.
In some areas, this difference can some-
times be great enough to cause false
compass readings. Follow these instruc-
tions to set the variance for your particular
location if this happens:
1. Push the
switch 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 re-
peated adjustment, have the com-
pass checked at an INFINITI retailer.
.The compass may not indicate thecorrect 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 geo-
magnetism 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 hous-
ing.

To defog/defrost the rear window glass
and outside mirrors (if so equipped), start
the engine and push the switch
*1on. The
indicator light
*2will come on. Push the
switch again to turn the defroster off.

mately 15 minutes.

window, 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 retai-
ler.
. 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 cor-
rectly.
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 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.

tion and settings” (P.4-9)), the lights will

When the door is closed, the lights go off.
OFF position
When the switch is in the OFF position*3,
the lights will not illuminate, regardless of
the condition.
CAUTION

the engine stopped. This could result in a
discharged battery.
