XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE
O When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an elec-
tric shock, never attempt to modify or
disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI
dealer.
O 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 dealer
and have the headlights adjusted
correctly. When the xenon headlight is initially
turned on, its brightness or color varies
slightly. However, the color and bright-
ness will soon stabilize.
O The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to
turn off the headlights for short inter-
vals (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 headlights is not reduced.
O If a xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally 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
dealer.

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 illumi-
nation when driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the daytime running
lights do not illuminate. The daytime run-
ning lights illuminate once the parking
brake is released. The daytime running
lights will remain on until the ignition
switch is turned off.
WARNINGWhen the daytime running light system is
active, tail lights on your vehicle are not on.
It is necessary at dusk to turn on your head-
lights. Failure to do so could cause an acci-
dent injuring yourself and others. Instrument brightness control The instrument brightness control oper-
ates when the light switch is in the AUTO
(when lighting), or position.
Turn the control to the darkening direc-
tion
q A
or the brightening direction
q B
to
adjust the brightness of the instrument
panel (except power window switch
lights).
When the control is turned to the upper
end, the light intensity will be at
maximum. When the control is turned to
the lower end, the light will be turned off. TURN SIGNAL SWITCH

move the vehicle well off the road. O Do not use the hazard warning flashers
while moving on the highway unless un-
usual circumstances force you to drive
so slowly that your vehicle might be-
come a hazard to other traffic.
O Turn signals do not work when the
hazard warning flasher lights are on.
The flasher can be actuated with the igni-
tion switch either off or on.SIC1836A SIC2574
