HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
SWITCH (where fitted)
Depending on the number of occupants in the ve-
hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When travelling with no heavy load on a flat road,
select position 0.
AUTOMATIC AIMING CONTROL
(xenon headlights)
Vehicles with xenon headlights are equipped with
an automatic levelling system. The headlight axis is
controlled automatically.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING
Incorrect jump-starting can lead to a battery
explosion. The battery explosion may result in
severe injury or death. It may also result in
damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the
instructions in this section.
Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and
flames away from the battery.
Always wear suitable eye protection glasses
and remove rings, bracelets, and any other
jewellery whenever working on or near a bat-
tery.
Never lean over the battery while jump-start-
ing.
Never allow battery fluid to come into contact
with eyes, skin, clothes or the vehicle’s
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive
sulphuric acid which can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted area with
plenty of water.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts.
Use of an incorrectly rated battery will dam-
age your vehicle.
Never attempt to jump-start a frozen battery.
It could explode and cause serious injury.
1. Prepare vehicle
jA with the booster battery for
the vehiclejB being jump-started.
CAUTION
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the handbrake.
3. Shift the gear lever (MT models) into the N (Neu- tral) position [AT or CVT models, move the se-
lector lever to the P (Park) position].
4. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (headlights, hazard lights etc,).
5. Ensure that the ignition switch of the vehicle be- ing jump-started is in the LOCK position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be careful not to damage the connector sup-
port bracket when disconnecting the connec-
tor.
If any electrical equipment does not operate, check
for an open fuse.
The fuse box is located in the lower part of the
instrument panel at the driver’s side.
The affected circuits
j2 are shown on the back of
the fuse box lidj1.
1. Make sure the ignition switch and the headlight switch are in the “OFF” position.
2. Open the fuse box lid.
3. Locate and remove the fuse with the fuse puller (where fitted).
NOTE
The fuse puller is stored in the fuse box.
4. If the fuse is open
jA , replace it with a new fusejB.
5. Close the fuse box lid. NOTE
If the new fuse opens again, after installing,
have the electrical system checked and re-
paired by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
CAUTION
Never use a fuse of higher or lower amperage
rating than that specified on the fuse box cover.
If any electrical equipment does not operate, check
for an open fuse. 1. Make sure the ignition switch and the headlight
switch are in the “OFF” position.
2. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
3. Remove the clips
j1 (where fitted) and air ductj2 (where fitted).
4. Remove the fusible link covers.
5. Locate the fuse that needs to be replaced.
6. Remove the fuse with the fuse puller (where fit- ted). The fuse puller is located in the fuse box of
the passenger compartment.
7. If the fuse is open
jA , replace it with a new fusejB.
8. Install the fusible link covers.
9. Install the air duct and clips (where fitted) in the reverse order of removal.
10. Close the bonnet. NOTE
If the new fuse opens again, after installing,
have the electrical system checked and re-
paired by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.

8-24Maintenance and do-it-yourself

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.
