Daytime running light system (Ca-
nada only)
The daytime running lights automatically
illuminate when the hybrid system is
started with the parking brake released.
The daytime running lights operate with
the headlight switch in the OFF position or
in the
position. Turn the headlight
switch to the
position for full illumina-
tion when driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
hybrid system is started, the daytime
running lights do not illuminate. The day-
time running lights illuminate once the
parking brake is released. The daytime
running lights will remain on until the
ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position.
Adaptive Front lighting System
(AFS) (if so equipped)
The Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)
will automatically adjust the headlights (low beam) toward the turning direction to
improve the driver
’s view. When the head-
light switch is ON and the driver operates
the steering wheel in a turn, the AFS
system will be activated.
The AFS will operate:
. Right-side headlight
— When the headlight switch is ON
— When the selector lever is in any
position other than P (Park) or R
(Reverse)
— When the steering wheel is turned
clockwise
. Left-side headlight
— When the headlight switch is ON
— When the selector lever is in any
position other than P (Park) or R
(Reverse)
— When the vehicle is driven at a
speed above 16 MPH (25km/h).
However, when the vehicle ’s speed
decreases below 3 MPH (5 km/h) it
will stop.
— When the steering wheel is turned
counterclockwise

The heated steering wheel system is
designed to operate only when the surface
temperature of the steering wheel is below
688F (20 8C).
Push the heated steering wheel switch to
warm the steering wheel after the hybrid
system starts. The indicator light
*1on the
switch will illuminate.
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68 8F (20 8C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and
on to maintain a temperature above 68 8F
(20 8C). The indicator light will remain on as
long as the system is on. Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The
indicator light will turn off.
NOTE:
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is above 68

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 switch.

The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the output of the
hybrid system to reduce wheel spin. The
speed of hybrid system will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the
floor. If maximum power of the INFINITI
Direct Response Hybrid
TMSystem is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the
VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
