NOTE
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. The fog
is caused by a temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens. This is not
a malfunction. If large droplets can be seen, then
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.EXTERIOR LIGHTS
