vehicle. – The movement and direction of the
oncoming vehicle and the leading
vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is
illuminated.
– When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-wheeled
vehicle.

push the lever forward
2(high beam position) .
The high beam assist indicator light in the meter
will illuminate while the headlights are turned on.
If the high beam assist indicator light does not
illuminate in the above condition, it may indicate
that the system is not functioning properly. Have
the system checked, it is recommended that you

2-40Instruments and controls

Incorrect ignition timing may result in spark
knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may
cause excessive fuel consumption or engine
damage. If any of the above symptoms are en-
countered, have your vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality
and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory
engine life and performance. For additional infor-
mation, refer toRecommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities in this section. INFINITI recom-
mends the use of an energy conserving oil in
order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American
Petroleum Institute (API) certification or Interna-
tional Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE vis-
cosity standard. These oils have the API certifica-
tion mark on the front of the container. Oils which
do not have the specified quality label should not
be used as they could cause engine damage.Oil additives
INFINITI does not recommend the use of oil ad-
ditives. The use of an oil additive is not necessary
when the proper oil type is used and maintenance
intervals are followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has been
previously used should not be used.
