XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNINGHIGH 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 a
NISSAN dealer.
. Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably 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 ve-
hicle to a NISSAN 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 brightness will soon stabilize.
. The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to turn

(for example, when the vehicle stops at
a traffic signal) . Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only) ,

This way the life of the xenon head-
lights is not reduced.
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to

cally decrease, the light will start

become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
