changed) using the [Service] menu item in the
[Settings] menu. See “[Maintenance]” later in this
section
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop if these conditions occur.
j20Distance to maintenance alert
(where fitted)
This alert reminds when maintenance is due in the
shown distance. The alert is shown for 10 seconds
at ignition ON, when the distance to the next main-
tenance interval is below 5000 km (3100 Miles).
The message is shown until the steering wheel
switch
ji (where fitted) is pressed.
NOTE
Visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
before the maintenance due alertj19reaches
0 km (miles) to perform maintenance (oil
change).
The maintenance interval will reduce faster
with certain types of driving, especially at low
speeds in urban conditions.
j21Tyre change alert
You can set a distance for changing tyres. See
“[Maintenance]” later in this section
j22Maintenance alert
You can set a distance for a non specific mainte-
nance item. See “[Maintenance]” later in this sec-
tion
j23Low temperature warning
If, during driving, the temperature falls below 4ºC

perature. You can switch the low temperature warn-
ing [On] or [Off]. See “[Units]” later in this section
CAUTION
Even if the alert is not on, there is no guarantee
that the road is free of hazards caused by in-
clement weather.
NOTE
The outside air temperature sensor is located at
the front of the vehicle. At low speeds the sensor
can be affected by engine heat, heat reflected
from the road surface and exhaust from other
vehicles, these influences can cause the display
to be inaccurate. To compensate, the outside air
temperature display is designed to react slowly
to increasing temperatures, but quickly to falling
temperatures.
j24Low fuel warning
This warning appears when the fuel level in the tank
is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the fuel gauge reaches the empty
position. For more information, see “Fuel gauge”

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Only hold the xenon headlight bulb by the
base.
The bulb is manufactured from high-quality
quartz and is under high pressure.
Damage, soiling, and fingerprints should be
avoided and, if necessary, removed with alco-
hol before installing the bulb.
When the headlights are switched on, the
bulbs produce a certain amount of UV radia-
tion. In order to avoid any impairment of health
(burning and conjunctivitis), the bulb should
only be used in closed headlights with appro-
priate UV–absorbing front glass.
Due to the risk of burning, the bulb should be
left to cool down for 3 minutes after switching
off before touching.
Due to the use of mercury and various salts,
the bulb should be treated as special waste
when discarded.
The bulb may only be operated with a suitable
ballast which produces very high voltages
when switched on and during operation.
Contact with bulb and wires should therefore
be avoided and a safe distance of at least 30
mm should be maintained.
Replacing the halogen headlight bulb
CAUTION
High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the halogen bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb is
dropped.
When handling the bulb, DO NOT TOUCH THE
GLASS ENVELOPE.
Use the same number type and wattage as
originally installed.
Aiming is usually not necessary after replac-
ing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is nec-
essary, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for a long period of time as dust,
moisture or smoke may enter the headlight
body and affect the performance of the head-
light.
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. A bulb
can be replaced from inside the engine compart-
ment without removing the headlight assembly.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop, if
you need assistance for bulb replacement.
1. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
2. Disconnect the negative (—) battery cable. 3. When the broken bulb is located in the headlight
assembly under the air duct, carefully remove the
clips and rotate the air duct
jc clockwise a 1/4
of a turn.
4. Remove the cap (
jAorjB ) of the headlight as-
sembly.
5. Turn the connector 1/4 of a turn in the anti clock- wise direction and remove the headlight bulb.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of re- moval and make sure that the cap is securely
sealed with the headlight body.
7. Where removed (step 3.), re-install the air duct
jc and clips in the order of removal.
8. Reconnect the negative (—) battery cable and close the bonnet.
NOTE
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. The fog
is caused by a temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens. This is not
a malfunction. If large droplets can be seen, then
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS (where fitted)
The air conditioning system in this NISSAN ve-
hicle must be charged with the HFC-134a (R-
134a) refrigerant and the Genuine NISSAN A/C
System Oil Type S or the exact equivalents.
Use of any other refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage and will lead to the vehicle’s entire
air conditioning system replacement.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not
recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a (R-
134a) in your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However it may contribute in a
small part to global warming. NISSAN recommends
that the refrigerant be recovered and recycled.
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
when servicing the air conditioning system.
