XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so
equipped)
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 a NISSAN
dealer.
● 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 a NISSAN dealer
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.

trols” section, and “Seats” in the “Safety — Seats,
seat belts and supplemental restraint system”
section of this manual.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is
approximately 2 years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an indi-
cator illuminates in the Vehicle Information Dis-
play. For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
Information Display” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving
radio waves, if the key is left near equipment
which transmits strong radio waves, such as sig-
nals from a TV and personal computer, the bat-
tery life may become shorter.
For additional information regarding replacement
of a battery, refer to “Battery replacement” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
