XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
cHIGH VOLTAGE
∙ When xenon headlights are on, they pro-duce a high voltage. To prevent an elec-
tric shock, never attempt to modify or
disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced by a certified service
technician. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ 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 a certified service techni-
cian 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. ∙
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 ex-
ample, when the vehicle stops at a traffic
signal).
∙ If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above signs
appear, it is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for service.

Autolight system
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
automatically when it is dark.
∙ Turn off all the lights (except daylight running 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. NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the time
delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position
1.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position 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, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition. Be sure you do not put anything on top of the
autolight sensor located in the top side
1of
the instrument panel. The autolight sensor
controls the autolight; if it is covered, 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 ig-
nition switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle’s battery could become discharged.

ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch on for interior controls and switches
to illuminate, as those remain off while the
switch is in the OFF position.
WARNING
