CAUTION
Use the headlights with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
Autolight system (if so equipped)
The autolight system allows the headlights
to turn on and off automatically. The auto-
light system can:
• Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail, license plate and instrument panel lights
automatically when it is dark.
• Turn off all the lights when it is light.
• Keep all the lights on for a period of time af ter you place the ignition switch in the
OFF position and all doors are closed. • Turn on the headlights if the windshield
wipers make multiple continuous passes
within approximately one minute of the
first pass (if so equipped). The headlights
remain on until the wipers are turned off
for a short period of time.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity (if so
equipped) and the time delay for auto-
light shutoff can be adjusted. For addi-
tional information, see “Vehicle infor-
mation display–7 inch (18 cm) Type A”
(P. 2-23) or “Vehicle information
display—12.3 inch (31 cm) Type B”
(P. 2-48).
To turn on the autolight system:
• Place the headlight switch in the AUTOposition
O1.
• Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
• The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is turned OFF
and a door is opened and lef t open, the
headlights remain ON for a period of time. If
another door is opened while the head-
lights are on, then the timer is reset.

To turn the autolight system off, place the
switch in the OFF,,orposition.
The headlights will turn on automatically at
twilight or in rainy weather (when the wind-
shield wiper is operated continuously).
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position and one of the doors is opened
and this condition is continued, the head-
lights remain on for 5 minutes.
Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the autolight sensor located in the top
side of the instrument panel
O1. The au-
tolight sensor controls the autolight; if it
is covered, the autolight sensor reacts as
if it is dark out and the headlights will
illuminate. If this occurs while parked
with the engine off and the ignition
switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle's battery could become
discharged.
Follow me home lighting (if so
equipped)
The follow me home feature allows you to
provide lighting from the vehicle af ter the
ignition switch has been placed in the OFF
position. Pulling the headlight stalk toward
you once will activate the headlights for
approximately 30 seconds. Af ter that pe-
riod of time, it will automatically switch off. It
is possible to pull the headlight stalk up to
four times to increase the lighting period
up to 2 minutes.
NOTE:
The follow me home feature can be can-
celed by placing the ignition switch in
the ON position.LIC4687

Ambient image sensor maintenance
The ambient image sensorOAfor the High
Beam Assist system is located in front of
the inside mirror. To maintain the proper
operation of the high beam assist system
and prevent a system malfunction, be sure
to observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the ambient image sensor.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the ambient image sensor. Do
not touch the sensor lens that is located
on the ambient image sensor. If the ambient image sensor is damaged
due to an accident, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer.
Battery saver system
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position while the headlight switch is in the
orposition, the headlights will
turn off af ter a period of time.
CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature
automatically turns off the headlights
af ter a period of time, you should turn
the headlight switch to the OFF posi-
tion when the engine is not running to
avoid discharging the vehicle battery.
LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
(DRL) SYSTEM
The LED portion of the headlights auto-
matically illuminate at 100% intensity when
the engine is started and the parking brake
is released. The LED Daytime Running
Lights (DRL) operate with the headlight
switch in the OFF position. When you turn
the headlight switch to the
position
for full illumination, the LED lights switch
from LED DRL to the park function. If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the LED DRL do not illumi-
nate. The LED DRL illuminate when the
parking brake is released. The LED DRL re-
main on until the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch on for interior controls and switches
to illuminate, as those remain off while the
switch is in the OFF position.
WARNING
When the LED DRL 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.

WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the climate controlled seats if you or
the occupants cannot monitor seat
temperatures or have an inability to
feel pain in those body parts in contact
with the seat. Use of the climate con-
trolled seats by such people could re-
sult in serious injury.
CAUTION
• The battery could run down if the cli-
mate control seat is operated while
the engine is not running.
• Do not use the climate control seat
for extended periods or when no one
is using the seat.
• Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become
overheated.
• Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar objects. This may result in
damage to the climate controlled
seat.
• Any liquid spilled on the seat should
be removed immediately with a dry
cloth
• When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any
similar materials.
• If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not op-
erate, turn the switch off and have
the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. The climate controlled seats cool down the
front seats by ventilating air into the seats.
The climate control switch is located by the
air conditioning controls.
The climate controlled seat can be oper-
ated as follows:
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the switch to adjust the desired
intensity. The indicator light on the
switch will illuminate.
3. When the vehicle's interior is cooled, or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to
press the switch to turn off the climate
controlled seats. The indicator light on
the switch will turn off. The climate con-
trolled seats will retain the current set-
tings even if the engine is restarted.
