NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and
the time delay for autolight shutoff
can be adjusted. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Vehicle information
display ” in this section.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTOposition
O1.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and a door is opened and lef t
open, the headlights remain on for a period
of time. If another door is opened while the
headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition. Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the autolight sensor located in the top
side
O1of 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 ignition
switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle's battery could become dis-
charged.
Follow me home lighting (if so
equipped)
The follow me home feature allows you to
provide lighting from the vehicle af ter the
ignition switch has been placed in the OFF
position. Pulling the headlight stalk toward
you once will activate the headlights for
approximately 30 seconds. Af ter that pe-
riod of time, it will automatically switch off. It
is possible to pull the headlight stalk up to
four times to increase the lighting period
up to 2 minutes.
NOTE:
The follow me home feature can be can-
celed by placing the ignition switch in
the ON position.

Headlight beam select
1To select the high beam function, push
the lever forward while the low beams
are on. The high beam lights come on
and the
indicator light illuminates.
2Pull the lever back to return to the low
beam.
3Pulling and releasing the lever flashes
the headlight high beams on and off.
The low beams do not need to be on
for this to function.
High Beam Assist (if so equipped)
The High Beam Assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of ap-
proximately 18 mph (30 km/h) and above. If
an oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle ap-
pears in front of your vehicle when the
headlight high beam is on, the headlight
will be switched to the low beam automati-
cally.

–The movement and direction of
the oncoming vehicle and the
leading vehicle.
– When only one light on the on-
coming vehicle or the leading ve-
hicle 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 operation
To activate the High Beam Assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the AUTO po-
sition
O1and push the lever forwardO2
(high beam position). TheHigh Beam
Assist indicator light in the meter will illumi-
nate 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. Have the system checked, it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 12 mph (20 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.

WARNING
The Rear Sonar System is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and check
that it is safe to do so before backing
up. Always back up slowly.
The RSS (if so equipped) is active when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position
and the shif t lever is in R (Reverse). The
indicator light on the switch will turn on.
When sensors detect obstacles within 6 f t
(1.8 m) of the rear bumper, a beeping tone is
emitted. The RSS can be disabled by pushing the
OFF switch. When the system is disabled,
the indicator light on the switch will turn off.
The system will automatically reset the
next time the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
For additional information, refer to “Rear
Sonar System (RSS)” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual.
The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
come on. The Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing (AEB) system warning light also may
come on.
