Autolight system
The autolight system allows the headlights to turn on and off automatically. The autolight 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 (except daylight running lights) when it is light.
- Keep all the lights on for a period of time after you place the ignition switch in the OFF position and all doors are closed.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the time delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted. For additional information, see “Vehicle information display”.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position 1 .
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is turned off and a door is opened and left open, the headlights remain on for a period of time. If another door is opened while the headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch to the OFF (if so equipped), , or position.
Be sure you do not put anything on top of the autolight sensor located in the top side O1 of the instrument panel. The autolight 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.
Headlight beam select
1 To select the high beam function, push the lever forward while the low beams are on. The high beam lights come on and the indicator light illuminates.
2 Pull the lever back to return to the low beams.
3 Pulling and releasing the lever flashes the headlight high beams on and off. The low beams do not need to be on for this to function.
High Beam Assist
The High Beam Assist system will operate when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and above. If an oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle appears in front of your vehicle when the headlight high beam is on, the headlight will be switched to the low beam automatically
WARNING
- The High Beam Assist system is a convenience but it is not a substitute for safe driving operation. The driver should remain alert at all times, ensure safe driving practices and switch the high beams and low beam manually when necessary.
- The high beam or low beam may not switch automatically under the following conditions. Switch the high beam and low beam manually
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
– When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity of the vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle are turned off, when the color of the light is affected due to foreign materials on the lights, or when the light beam is out of position.
– When there is a sudden, continuous change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a road that has level differences.
– When driving on a road with many curves.
– When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense light towards the front of the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is reflecting intense light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc. - The timing of switching the low beam and high beam may change under the following situations.
– The brightness of the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle.
– The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and the leading vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is illuminated.
– When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle.
– Road conditions (incline, curve, the road surface, etc.).
– The number of passengers and the amount of luggage.
High Beam Assist operation
To activate the High Beam Assist system, turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position O1 and push the lever forward O2 (high beam position). The High Beam Assist indicator light in the meter will illuminate while the headlights are turned on.
If the High Beam Assist indicator light does not illuminate in the above condition, itmay indicate that the system is not functioning properly. Have the system checked, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 16 mph (25 km/h), the headlight uses the low beam. To turn off the High Beam Assist system, turn the headlight switch to the position or select the low beam position by placing the lever in the neutral position.
Ambient image sensor maintenance
The ambient image sensor O1 for 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 transparent 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
The battery saver system automatically turns off the following lights after a period of time when the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position and the doors are closed:
