2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER Auto lights

Autolight system (if so equipped)
The autolight system allows the headlights to turn
on and off automatically. The autolight system
can:● Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail,
license plate and instrument panel lights au-
tomatically when it is dark.
● Turn off all the lights when it is light.
● Keep all the lights on for a period of time after
you place the ignition switch in the OFF
position and all doors are closed. ●
Turn on the headlights if the windshield wip-
ers make four continuous passes within one
minute of the first pass (if so equipped) . The
headlights remain on until the wipers are
turned off for longer that 3 seconds.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the time
delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted.
For additional information, refer to “Ve-
hicle information display” in this section.
To turn on the autolight system: ● Place the headlight switch in the AUTO po-
sition
1.
● Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
● The autolight system automatically turns the
headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is turned OFF and a
door is opened and left open, the headlights
remain ON for a period of time. If another door is
opened while the headlights are on, then the
timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, place the switch
in the OFF,
,orposition. Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolight sensor located in the top side
of the instrument panel
1. The autolight
sensor controls the autolight; if it is cov-
ered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is
dark out and the headlights will illuminate.
If this occurs while parked with the engine
off and the ignition switch placed in the ON
position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.
