SIC2132
Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:
.Vehicle security system
. INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audio alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, hood, or trunk lid when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a
motion detection type system that acti-
vates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your Intelligent Key(s) in the
vehicle, and always lock it when unat-
tended. Be aware of your surroundings,
and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever
possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and speci-
alty shops. Your INFINITI retailer may also
offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be
eligible for discounts for various theft
protection features.

Battery saver system
A chime will sound and the light reminder
warning will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display when the driver side door is
opened with the light switch in the
orposition and the ignition switch in the
ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
When the headlight switch is in the
orposition while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the lights will automati-
cally turn off after a period of time when
the ignition switch has been pushed to the
OFF position.
When the headlight switch remains in the
orposition after the lights
automatically turn off, the lights will turn
on when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position.
CAUTION
. When you turn on the headlight switch
again after the lights automatically turn off, the lights will not turn off auto-
matically. Be sure to turn the light
switch to the OFF position when you
leave the vehicle for extended periods of
time, otherwise the 12-volt battery will
be discharged.
. Never leave the light switch on when the
INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
®System
is not running for a period of time even if
the headlights turn off automatically.
Daytime running light system
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, AUTO or
position. Turn the headlight switch to
theposition for full illumination 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.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system is
active, tail lights on your vehicle are not on.
It is necessary at dusk to turn on your
headlights. Failure to do so could cause an
accident injuring yourself and others.
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:
. when the headlight switch is ON.
. when the shift lever is in any position
other than P (Park) or R (Reverse).
. when the vehicle is driven at above 3
MPH (5 km/h) for the left-side head-
light. Note that the right-side low beam
headlight will swivel but the left-side
headlight will not swivel when the
vehicle is below 3 MPH (5 km/h) and

the steering wheel is turned.
AFS will also adjust the headlight to a
proper axis automatically, depending on
the number of occupants in the vehicle, the
load the vehicle is carrying and the road
conditions.
If the AFS warning appears in the vehicle
information display after the ignition
switch has been pushed to the ON posi-
tion, this may indicate that the AFS is not
functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer. When the
hybrid system is started, the headlights
will vibrate to check the system condition.
This is not a malfunction.
