and outside mirrors, start the engine and
push the switch
*1on. The indicator light
*2will come on. Push the switch again to

XENON HEADLIGHTS
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 xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional headlights.
If they are not correctly aimed, they
might temporarily blind an oncoming
driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights
are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer
and have the headlights adjusted cor-
rectly.
When the xenon headlight is initially
turned 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 operation. It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (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 dras-
tically decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact an INFINITI
retailer.

The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the warning systems (Forward
Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot Warning
(BSW) systems) that are activated using
the settings menu on the center display.
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
*1on the switch is off.
The indicator will also be off if all of the
warning systems are deactivated using the
settings menu.
The FCW system will sound a warning
chime and the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light blinks to alert the driver if
the vehicle is traveling close to the vehicle ahead. (See
“Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system ”in the “5. Starting and
driving ”section.)
The LDW system will sound a warning
chime and blink the lane departure warn-
ing light (orange) to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left
or the right of a traveling lane with
detectable lane markers. (See “Lane De-
parture Warning (LDW) system/Lane De-
parture Prevention (LDP) system” in the“5.
Starting and driving ”section.)
The BSW system will turn on the BSW/
Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) indicator
lights, located next to the outside mirrors,
if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the
BSW/BSI indicator light will flash. (See
“ Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system/Blind
Spot InterventionTM(BSI) system” in the
“ 5. Starting and driving ”section.)
SIC4337
The vehicle should be driven with the
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system on
for most driving conditions.
The Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system
will sound a warning chime and the vehicle
ahead detection indicator light blinks to
alert the driver when the vehicle is travel-
ing too close to the vehicle ahead. The
system will also apply the brake control if
necessary.
To turn off the system, push the IBA OFF
switch. The
indicator will illuminate.
The IBA system will remain in the last ON
or OFF state it was left in until it is
manually changed by pushing the IBA OFF

nated to prevent the battery from becom-
ing discharged.The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the
light will turn off.
The light will also turn off after 30 minutes
when the light remains illuminated after
the ignition switch has been pushed to the
OFF or LOCK position to prevent the
battery from becoming discharged.
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the func-
tions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver:
. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door
locks and security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle ’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle ’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink
®will retain all
programming.
Once HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures
(Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, see “Program-
ming HomeLink
