Nissan - Headlights and Exterior Lights

The headlight switch is located on the lever on the left side of the steering column. The Daytime Running Lights illuminate with the engine on and the parking brake released. If the parking brake is applied before the engine is started the Daytime Running Lights do not illuminate. To turn on your front parking lights, taillights, license plate light and instrument panel lights, turn the headlight switch to this position. To turn on the front headlights turn the switch to this position. All the other lights will stay on. To turn on your high beam headlights push this lever forward. You’ll see a blue indicator light illuminate. Pull it back towards you to return to low beam. The blue indicator light will turn off. To make your high beam headlights flash on and off pull the lever towards you and release it. If so equipped, the High Beam Assist function automatically switches the headlights from the high beam to the low beam setting when an oncoming or leading vehicle appears in front of your vehicle. Turn the light switch to AUTO and press the combination switch beyond the pressure point in this direction to activate the High Beam Assist. When activated, the High Beam Assist indicator light illuminates on the instrument panel. The system is activated at speeds above approximately 30 km/h when the headlight switch is in the AUTO position. Move this switch back to its normal position to deactivate the High Beam Assist. The indicator light turns off. The ambient light sensor used by the High Beam Assist function is located on the front of the rear-view mirror. To ensure proper function of the system, keep the windshield clean and do not attach stickers or other such materials near the ambient light sensor. Fog lights create a wide beam pattern focused lower than the headlights. This minimizes reflected light and helps you see better in foggy conditions. If your vehicle is equipped with fog lights here’s how to activate them. To use the fog lights your headlights must be on and low beam selected. Rotate the collar to this position and your fog lights will come on. Rotate the collar to the off position to return to low beam and deactivate the fog lights. If you turn the high beam headlights on, the fog lights will automatically turn off. If your vehicle is equipped with the auto lights system you can preset the headlights to automatically operate based on the exterior lighting conditions. To activate the system, move the headlight switch to the AUTO position and push the ignition to the ON position. To turn the system off turn the headlight switch to any other setting. The system will also keep the headlights on for a period of time after you’ve pushed the ignition switch to the off position. There is a light sensor that controls the auto light system on the top of the instrument panel. Keep this area clear of papers and other material.
