(The compass returns to the correct com-
pass point when the vehicle moves to an
area where the geomagnetism is stabi-
lized.)
CAUTION
●Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc., which
are attached to the vehicle 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.

To defog/defrost the rear window glass and
outside mirrors, start the engine and push the
switch
1on. The indicator light2will come
on. Push the switch again to turn the defroster
off.
It will automatically turn off in approximately 15
minutes.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to scratch or damage the
rear window defroster.
XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
● When xenon headlights are on, they produce
a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced
at an INFINITI retailer.
● 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 acci-
dent. If headlights are not aimed correctly,
immediately take your vehicle to an INFINITI
retailer 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 example, when the ve-
hicle 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 headlights is
not reduced.
● If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burn-
ing out, the brightness will drastically de-
crease, the light will start blinking, or the
color of the light will become reddish. If one
or more of the above signs appear, contact an
INFINITI retailer.

DOOR position
When the switch is in the DOOR position2, the
map lights and rear personal lights will illumi-
nate under the following conditions:
● ignition switch is switched to the LOCK
position
– remain on for about 15 seconds.
● doors are unlocked by pushing the UNLOCK
button on the Intelligent Key or door handle
request switch with the ignition switch in the
LOCK position
– remain on for about 15 seconds.
● any door is opened and then closed with the
ignition switch in the LOCK position
– remain on for about 15 seconds.
● any door is opened with the ignition switch
in the ACC or ON position
– remain on while the door is opened. When the door is closed, the lights go off.
The lights will also turn off after 30 minutes
when the lights remain illuminated after the ig-
nition switch has been pushed to the OFF or
LOCK position to prevent the battery from be-
coming discharged. When the auto interior illumination is set to the
OFF position (see “VEHICLE INFORMATION AND
SETTINGS” in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systems” section),
the lights will illuminate under the following
condition:
●
any door is opened with the ignition switch
in any position
– remain on while the door is opened. When the door is closed, the lights go off.
OFF position
When the switch is in the OFF position3, the
lights will not illuminate, regardless of the
condition.
CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time with
the engine stopped. This could result in a dis-
charged battery. The light on the vanity mirror will turn on when
the cover on the vanity mirror is opened.
When the cover is closed, the light will turn off.
The lights will also turn off after 30 minutes
when the lights remain illuminated to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged.

E
or apply glass cleaner on them. Doing so will
reduce the sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in
improper operation.

“COMPASS” in the “2. Instruments and con-
trols” section. For the HomeLink

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on the
passenger side are closer than they appear. Be
careful when moving to the right. Using only
this mirror could cause an accident. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to
properly judge distances to other objects.
Adjusting outside mirrors
The outside mirror control switch is located at
the lower part of the instrument panel.
The outside mirror will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position.Move the switch right
1or left2to select the
right or left side mirror, then adjust
3using
the control switch.
Defrosting outside mirrors
The outside mirrors will be heated when the
rear window defroster switch is operated. (See
“REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDE MIRROR DE-
FROSTER SWITCH” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.)
CAUTION
● Do not touch the mirrors while they are mov-
ing. Your hand may be pinched, and the mir-
ror may malfunction.
● Do not drive with the mirrors stored. You will
be unable to see behind the vehicle.
●
If the mirrors were folded or unfolded by hand,
there is a chance that the mirror will move for-
ward or backward during driving. If the mirrors
were folded or unfolded by hand, be sure to
adjust them again electrically before driving.
Foldable outside mirrors
The outside rearview mirror remote control op-
erates when the ignition switch is in the “ACC”
or “ON” position.

●Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
● Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid and window washer fluid as
frequently as possible, or at least whenever
you refuel.
● Check that all windows and lights are clean.
● Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
● Lock all doors.
● Position seat and adjust head
restraints/headrests.
● Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
● Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
● Check the operation of warning lights when
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position. (See “WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS
AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS” in the “2. Instru-
ments and controls” section.)1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Move the selector lever to the P (Park) or
N (Neutral) position. (P is recommended.)
The starter is designed not to operate unless
the selector lever is in either of the above
positions.
3. Push the ignition switch to the ON posi-tion. Depress the brake pedal and push
the ignition switch to start the engine.
To start the engine immediately, push and
release the ignition switch while depressing
the brake pedal with the ignition switch in
any position.
● If the engine is very hard to start in
extremely cold weather or when restart-
ing, depress the accelerator pedal a little
(approximately 1/3 to the floor) and while
holding, crank the engine. Release the
accelerator pedal when the engine starts.
● If the engine is very hard to start because
it is flooded, depress the accelerator
pedal all the way to the floor and hold it.
Push the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion to start cranking the engine. After 5
or 6 seconds, stop cranking by pushing
the ignition switch to OFF. After cranking
the engine, release the accelerator pedal.
Crank the engine with your foot off the accelerator pedal
by depressing the brake
pedal and pushing the push-button igni-
tion switch to start the engine. If the
engine starts, but fails to run, repeat the
above procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the engine does not start,
push the ignition switch to OFF and wait 10
seconds before cranking again, otherwise the
starter could be damaged.
4. Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the en-
gine while warming it up. Drive at moderate
speed for a short distance first, especially in
cold weather. In cold weather, keep the
engine running for a minimum of 2 - 3
minutes before shutting it off. Starting and
stopping the engine over a short period of
time may make the vehicle more difficult to
start.
5. To stop the engine, shift the selector lever
to the P (Park) position and push the
ignition switch to the OFF position.
