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 activates 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 unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification
markers, and tracking systems, are available
at auto supply stores and specialty shops.
Your INFINITI retailer may also offer such
equipment. Check with your insurance com-
pany to see if you may be eligible for
discounts for various theft protection fea-
tures.

Ambient image sensor maintenance:
The ambient image sensor
for the high
beam assist system is located in front of the
inside mirror. To keep 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 trans-
parent 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 you
contact an INFINITI retailer.
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 automatically
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 auto-
matically 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 auto-
matically turn off, the lights will not
turn off automatically. Be sure to
turn the light switch to the OFF
position when you leave the vehicle for extended periods of time, other-
wise the 12-volt battery will be
discharged.
. Never leave the light switch on when
the INFINITI Direct Response Hy-
brid
®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 day-
time running lights operate with the head-
light switch in the OFF, AUTO or
position. Turn the headlight switch to theposition for full illumination when driv-
ing at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
hybrid system is started, the daytime run-
ning lights do not illuminate. The daytime
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 placed in the ON position, this may
indicate that the AFS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. When the hybrid system is
started, the headlights will vibrate to check
the system condition. This is not a malfunc-
tion.JVI0644X
