High beam assist (if so equipped)
The high beam assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h) and
above. If an oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle appears in front of your vehicle
when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low
beam automatically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving operation.
The driver should remain alert at
all times, ensure safe driving
practices and switch the high
beams and low beam manually
when necessary.
. The high beam or low beam may
not switch automatically under
the following conditions. Switch
the high beam and low beam
manually.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, wind, etc.).
— When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity of the vehicle.
— When the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle are turned off,
when the color of the light is
affected due to foreign mate-
rials on the lights, or when the
light beam is out of position.
— When there is a sudden, con- tinuous change in brightness.
— When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a
road that has level differ-
ences.
— When driving on a road with many curves.
— When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense
light towards the front of the
vehicle.
— When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is
reflecting intense light.
— When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
— When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured
tire, being towed, etc. .
The timing of switching the low
beam and high beam may
change under the following situa-
tions.
— The brightness of the head-
lights of the oncoming vehicle
or leading vehicle.
— The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and
the leading vehicle.
— When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is illuminated.
— When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-
wheeled vehicle.
— Road conditions (incline, curve, the road surface, etc.).
— The number of passengers and the amount of cargo.

High beam assist operations:
To activate the high beam assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the AUTO
position
and push the lever forward(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 condi-
tion, it may indicate that the system is not
functioning properly. It is recommended
you have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 13 MPH (20 km/h), theheadlight remains the low beam.
To turn off the high beam assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the
position or select the low beam position
by placing the lever in the neutral posi-
tion.

Ambient image sensor maintenance:
The ambient image sensor
for the high
beam assist system is located in front of
the inside mirror. To keep the proper
operation of the high beam assist system
and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the ambient image
sensor.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the ambient image sensor. Do
not touch the sensor lens that is
located on the ambient image sensor.
.The ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position. (model with Intelligent
Key system)
The interior light timer will be cancelled
when:
. The driver’s door is locked.
. The ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
When the switch is in the OFF position
,
the room light does not illuminate, re-
gardless of any condition.

Automatic operation (AUTO)
The AUTO mode may be used year-round
as the system automatically controls the
air conditioner to a constant tempera-
ture, air flow distribution and fan speed
after the desired temperature is set
manually.
Cooling and dehumidified heating:
1. Push the AUTO button (the indicator light will turn on).
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
.When the DUAL indicator light is notilluminated, pushing the DUAL but-
ton (the indicator light will turn on)

change the driver and passenger
side temperatures with the corre-
sponding temperature control dial.
.To cancel the separate tempera-ture setting, push the DUAL button
(the indicator light will turn off) and
the driver’s side temperature
setting will be applied to both the
driver and passenger sides.
The temperature of the passenger
compartment will be maintained
automatically. Air flow distribution
and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
A visible mist may be seen coming
from the ventilators in hot and humid
conditions as the air is cooled rapidly.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
Dehumidified defrosting/defogging:
1. Push the front defroster
button
(The indicator light on the front
defroster
button will illuminate).
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
