Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the autolight sensor
O1located in the
top side of the instrument panel. The au-
tolight 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 switch in the
ON position, your vehicle's battery could
become discharged.Headlight beam select

tional information, see “Headlight con-
trol switch” (P. 2-43).
2Pull the lever back to return to the low
beam.
3Pulling and releasing the lever flashes
the headlight high beams on and off;
the headlights need not be on for this
function.
High Beam Assist (if so equipped)
The High Beam Assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 25 mph (40 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.
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, en-
sure 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 vi-
cinity of the vehicle.

When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 16 mph (25 km/h), the head-
light uses the low beam.
To turn off the High Beam Assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the
posi-
tion or select the low beam position by
placing the lever in the neutral position.
Ambient image sensor maintenance
The ambient image sensorO1for the High
Beam Assist system is located in front of
the inside mirror. To maintain 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. Do
not touch the sensor lens that is located
on the ambient image sensor. If the ambient image sensor is damaged
due to an accident, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

of time when the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position and the doors are closed:
• Headlights, when the headlight switch is
in the
orposition

up to 120v power, the vehicle must be run-
ning and the power inverter switch must
be on.
When the vehicle is in the P (Park) position,
the 400W and the 150W will automatically
illuminate. When the vehicle is out of the P
(Park) position, only 150W will illuminate.
For additional information, see “120v out-
lets” (P. 2-61) regarding using devices that
require the power inverter switch to be
activated.
CAUTION
• Use power outlets with the engine
running to avoid discharging the ve-
hicle battery.
• Do not use double adapters or more
than one electrical accessory, doing
so could significantly drain the bat-
tery of your vehicle.

** OFF means the inverter system cannot be reset until a device is within the specification range of operation. If the device is greater than specified, the inverter
will shut OFF. The operating voltage is between 11.5v and 15v. If the vehicle is not idling, the battery voltage will drop which will cause the inverter to shut down
when below 11.5v. When the vehicle is in the (P) Park position, it will work at 400W. If the vehicle is in any other shif ter position, it will turn off.
