ZONE VARIATION CHANGE PROCE-
DURE
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance.
In some areas, this difference can some-
times be great enough to cause false
compass readings. Follow these instruc-
tions to set the variance for your particular
location if this happens:
1. Push the
switch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance number on the zone map.
NOTE:
Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.
3. Push the
switch repeatedly until
the new zone number appears in the
display, then release the switch. After
you release the switch, the display will
show a compass direction within a few
seconds.
.If the compass deviates from the correct indication soon after re-
peated adjustment, have the com-
pass checked at an INFINITI retailer.
.The compass may not indicate the
correct compass point in tunnels or while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle moves
to an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)
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 hous-
ing.

REAR WINDOW WIPER AND WASHER
OPERATION
If the rear window wiper operation is
interrupted by snow etc., the wiper may
stop moving to protect its motor. If this
occurs, turn the wiper switch to OFF and
remove the snow etc. on and around the
wiper arms. After about 1 minute, turn the
switch ON again to operate the wiper.
The rear window wiper and washer operate
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
Turn the switch clockwise from the OFF
position to operate the wiper.
*1Intermittent (INT)—intermittent opera-
tion (not adjustable)
*2Low (ON) —continuous low speed
operation
Push the switch forward
*3to operate the
washer. Then the wiper will also operate
several times.
SIC3239
To defog/defrost the rear window glass
and outside mirrors, start the engine and
push the switch
*1on. The indicator light
*2will come on. Push the switch again to
turn the defroster off.
It will automatically turn off in approxi-
mately 15 minutes.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear
window, 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. 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.
REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDE MIRROR
DEFROSTER SWITCH HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH

Battery saver system
A chime will sound when the driver side
door is opened with the light switch in the
orposition and the ignition switch
in the ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
When the headlight switch is in the
orposition while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the lights will automati-
cally turn off 5 minutes after the ignition
switch has been pushed to the OFF
position.
When the headlight switch remains in the
orposition after the lights
automatically turn off, the lights will turn
on when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position.
CAUTION
. When you turn on the headlight switch
again after the lights automatically turn
off, the lights will not turn off auto-
matically. Be sure to turn the light
switch to the OFF position when you
leave the vehicle for extended periods of
time, otherwise the battery will be
discharged. .
Never leave the light switch on when the
engine is not running for extended
periods of time even if the headlights
turn off automatically.
SIC2275
Headlight aiming control (if so
equipped)
Depending on the number of occupants in
the vehicle and the load it is carrying, the
headlight axis may be higher than desired.
If the vehicle is traveling on a hilly road,
the headlights may directly hit the rearview
mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
shield of the oncoming vehicle. The light
axis can be lowered with the operation of
the switch.
The larger the number designated on the
switch, the lower the axis.
When traveling with no heavy load or on a
Instruments and controls2-39

2-40Instruments and controls
flat road, select position 0.
WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright
compared to conventional headlights. If
the xenon headlights hit the rearview mirror
of the vehicle ahead or the windshield of
oncoming vehicle, the driver of these
vehicles may have difficulty driving because
of the brightness. Use the headlight aiming
control switch to lower the light axis. See
“Xenon headlights”(P.2-36) for additional
information.
Daytime running light system (Ca-
nada only)
The daytime running lights automatically
illuminate when the engine is started with
the parking brake released. The daytime
running lights operate with the headlight
switch in the OFF position or in the
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.
Adaptive Front lighting System
(AFS) (if so equipped)
The Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)
will automatically adjust the headlights
(low beam) toward the turning direction to
improve the driver’s view. When the head-
light switch is ON and the driver operates
the steering wheel in a turn, the AFS
system will be activated.
The AFS will operate:
. when the headlight switch is ON.
. when the selector lever is in any
position other than P (Park) or R
(Reverse). .
when the vehicle is driven at above 16
MPH (25 km/h) for the left-side head-
light. Note that the right-side low beam
headlight will swivel but the left side
will not swivel when the vehicle is at a
stop and the steering wheel is turned.
The vehicle must attain a speed above
16 MPH (25 km/h) before AFS activates
the left-side headlight.
AFS will also adjust the headlight to a
proper axis automatically, depending on
the number of occupants in the vehicle, the
load the vehicle is carrying and the road
conditions.
If the AFS OFF indicator light blinks after
the ignition switch has been pushed to the
ON position, this may indicate that the AFS
is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When the engine is started, the headlights
will vibrate to check the system condition.
This is not a malfunction.
