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 xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. 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 accident. If headlights
are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer
and have the headlights adjusted cor-
rectly.
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 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 dras-
tically decrease, 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.

position. Turn the headlight switch to theposition for full illumination when
driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the daytime running
lights do not illuminate. The daytime
running lights illuminate once the parking
brake is released. The daytime running
lights will remain on until the ignition
switch is pushed to the OFF position.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system is
active, tail lights on your vehicle are not on.
It is necessary at dusk to turn on your headlights. Failure to do so could cause an
accident injuring yourself and others.

when you must stop or park under
emergency conditions. All turn signal lights
will flash.
WARNING
. If stopping for an emergency, be sure to
move the vehicle well off the road.

while moving on the highway unless
unusual circumstances force you to drive
so slowly that your vehicle might be-
come a hazard to other traffic.

The warning systems switch will turn on
and off the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system, the Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
system and the Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system at the same time.
The LDW system will sound a warning
chime and blink the lane departure warn-
ing light (orange) to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left
or the right of a traveling lane with
detectable lane markers. (See“Lane De-
parture Warning (LDW) system/Lane De-
parture Prevention (LDP) system” in the“5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The BSW system will illuminate the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) indicator lights, lo-
cated next to the outside mirrors, when the
radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the BSW
indicator light will flash. (See
“Blind Spot
Warning (BSW) system” in the“5. Starting
and driving” section.)
The FCW system will sound a warning
chime and the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light blinks to alert the driver if
the vehicle is traveling close to the vehicle
ahead. (See “Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system” in the“5. Starting and
driving” section.)
The warning systems switch is automati-
cally turned on when the engine is started,
and the warning systems ON indicator
*1on the switch illuminates.
To cancel the warning systems, push the
warning systems switch to turn off the
system. The warning systems ON indicator
will turn off.
NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning
systems switch from off to on for over 4
seconds, a chime will sound. This will change the default status of the LDW, BSW
and FCW systems to OFF so that these
systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this proce-
dure is repeated, the default status will
return to ON.
