Zone variation change procedure The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass read-
ings. Follow these instructions to set the vari-
ance for your particular location if this hap-
pens:
1. Establish your location on the zone map.
Record your zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
while pressing the COMP switch.
3. Continue to press the COMP switch for
more than 5 seconds until the current zone
entry number is displayed on the compass.
If any operations are not carried out for more
than 5 seconds, the display shows direction as
normal.
4. Press COMP switch repeatedly until the
new zone entry number is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed,
stop pressing the COMP switch and the dis-
play will show compass direction within a few
seconds. SIC0611

Instrument brightness control The instrument brightness control operates
when the light switch is in the or
position.
Turn the control to adjust the brightness of
instrument panel lights and clock (except
power window switch lights).
When the control is turned upward until it
stops, the light intensity will be at maximum.
When the control is turned downward until it
stops, the light will be turned off. Headlight beam select To select the high beam, push the lever for-
ward. Pull it back to select the low beam.
Flashing signal Pulling the lever toward you will flash the
headlight high beam.
Daytime running light system
(Canada only) The headlights automatically illuminate at a
reduced intensity 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 the position
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 illu-
minate once the parking brake is released.
The daytime running lights will remain on until
the ignition switch is turned off. 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.
TURN SIGNAL SWITCH
Turn signal Move the lever up or down to signal the turning
direction. When the turn is completed, the turn
signals cancel automatically.
Lane change signal To indicate a lane change, move the lever up
or down to the point where lights begin flash-
ing.SIC0922

O press and hold both the HomeLink and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
O position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5
inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the
HomeLink surface. Hold the transmitter in
that position for up to 15 seconds. If
HomeLink is not programmed within that
time, try holding the transmitter in another
position - keeping the indicator light in view
at all times.
If you continue to have programming difficul-
ties, please contact the INFINITI Consumer
Affairs Department. The phone numbers are
located in the Foreword of this Owner's
Manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION Individual buttons cannot be cleared, however
to clear all programming, press and hold the
two outside buttons and release when the
indicator light begins to flash (approximately
20 seconds). REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink BUTTONTo reprogram a HomeLink Universal Trans-
ceiver button, complete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. Do not release the button until step
4 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash
slowly (after 20 seconds), position the
hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 inches (50 to
127 mm) away from the HomeLink sur-
face.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter
button.
4. The HomeLink indicator light will flash,
first slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light begins to flash rapidly, re-
lease both buttons.
The HomeLink Universal Transceiver button
has now been reprogrammed. The new device
can be activated by pushing the HomeLink
button that was just programmed. This proce-
dure will not affect any other programmed
HomeLink buttons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN If your vehicle is stolen, you should change the codes of any non-rolling code device that has
been programmed into HomeLink . Consult
the Owner's Manual of each device or call the
manufacturer or dealer of those devices for
additional information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the HomeLink Univer-
sal Transceiver with your new transmitter
information.

movement, reception conditions will constantly
change. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below are
some of the factors that can affect your radio
reception.
FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to
30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may some-
times interfere with FM station reception even
if the FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to
the distance between the transmitter and re-
ceiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path,
exhibiting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from a station transmitter, the signals will tend
to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with increased
distance from the station transmitter, static or
flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by
adjusting the treble control counterclockwise
to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics. AM
signals are also subject to interference as they
travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for sev-
eral seconds during ionospheric turbulence
even in areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical SAA0306

WARNINGO Do not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
O Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked with the
trunk closed when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon monoxide)
WARNINGDo not breathe exhaust gases; they con- tain colorless and odorless carbon mon-
oxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or death.
O If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
O Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
O Do not park the vehicle with the en-
gine running for any extended length
of time.
O Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing, otherwise exhaust gases could
be drawn into the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, follow these precau-
tions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the air recirculation switch
OFF and the fan control at 4 (high)
to circulate the air.
O If electrical wiring or other cable con- nections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer's
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
O If a special body or other equipment
is added for recreational or other us-
age, follow the manufacturer's rec-
ommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appli-
ances such as stoves, refrigerator,
heaters, etc. may also generate car-
bon monoxide.)
O The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust system.PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
