ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes
be great enough to cause false compass
readings. Follow these instructions to set the
variance for your particular location if this
happens:
1. Push the
switch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance number on the zone map.
3. Push the
switch repeatedly until the
new zone number appears in the display,
then release the switch. After you re-
lease the switch, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
.If the compass deviates from the
correct indication soon after repeated
adjustment, it is recommended you
have the compass checked at an
INFINITI retailer.
.The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle
moves to an area where the geomag- netism is stabilized.)
CAUTION
.
Do not install a ski rack, antenna,
etc., which are attached to the vehi-
cle by means of a magnet. They affect
the operation of the compass.
. When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.

.High — High sensitive operation
. Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system
off, push up the lever to the OFF position, or
pull down the lever to the LO or HI position.
CAUTION
Do not touch the rain sensor and around
it when the wiper switch is in the AUTO
position and the ignition switch is in the
ON position. The wipers may operate
unexpectedly and cause to an injury or
may damage a wiper.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch
is left in the AUTO position, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly when dirt,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are stuck
on or around the sensor. The wipers may
also operate when exhaust gas or
moisture affect the rain sensor.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain
sensor even if it is raining.
. When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the
rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher
even though the amount of the rainfall is
small. .
Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
. Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the
rain-sensing auto wiper system. (See
“Windshield wiper blades” (P.8-22) for
wiper blade replacement.)

mately 15 minutes.
If the engine is started using the remote start
function (if so equipped) when the outside
air temperature, the interior temperature
and the engine coolant temperature are
low, the rear window glass and outside
mirror defroster may turn on automatically.
For additional information about the remote
engine start function, see “Remote engine
start” (P.3-20).

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 automa-
tically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a substitute
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 fol-
lowing 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 on-
coming vehicle or the leading
vehicle are turned off, when the
color of the light is affected due to
foreign materials on the lights, or
when the light beam is out of
position.
— When there is a sudden, contin- uous change in brightness.
— When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a road
that has level differences.
— When driving on a road with many curves.
— When a sign or mirror-like sur- face 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 situations. — The brightness of the headlights
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 on- coming vehicle or the leading
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 luggage.

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 condition, it may
indicate that the system is not functioning
properly. It is recommended you have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 12 MPH (20 km/h), the
headlight 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 position.

Ambient image sensor maintenance:
The ambient image sensor
for the high
beam assist system is located above 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 trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the ambient image sensor.
. Do not strike or damage the areas around
the ambient image sensor.
If the ambient image sensor is damaged due
to an accident, it is recommended you
contact an INFINITI retailer.
