XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so
equipped)
WARNING
HIGH 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 xe-
non headlights replaced at a NISSAN
dealer.
Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional head-
lights. If they are not correctly aimed,
they might temporarily blind an oncom-
ing driver or thedriver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights
are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer
and have the headlights adjusted
correctly.
When thexenon headlight is initiallyturned 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 generallydesirable not to turn
off the headlights for short intervals
(for example, when thevehicle stopsat
a trafficsignal). Even whenthe daytime
running lights areactive (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon head-
lights is not reduced.
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will startblink-
ing, or the color of the light will be-
come reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
