XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so

equipped)

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

When xenon headlights are on, they

produce a high voltage. To prevent an

electric shock, never attempt to modify

or disassemble. Always have your xe-

non headlights replaced at a NISSAN

dealer.

Xenon headlights provide considerably

more light than conventional head-

lights. If they are not correctly aimed,

they might temporarily blind an oncom-

ing driver or the driver ahead of you and

cause a serious accident. If headlights

are not aimed correctly, immediately

take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer

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 opera-

tion. It is generally desirable not to turn

off the headlights for short intervals

(for example, when the vehicle stops at

a traffic signal). Even when the daytime

running lights are active (Canada only),

the xenon headlights do not turn on.

This way the life of the xenon head-

lights is not reduced.

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 be-

come reddish. If one or more of the

above signs appear, contact a NISSAN

dealer.
