HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCHES
Instruments and controls2-63

Active light function
The active light function is a system that moves
the headlights according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This helps you to recognize pedestrians, cy-
clists and animals. It is active when the lights
are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the low-beam headlights are
switched on. It is active if you are driving at
speeds below 25 MPH (40 km/h) and switch on
the turn signal or turn the steering wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
short time, but is automatically switched off
after no longer than three minutes.
Freeway mode
Freeway mode adjusts the light beam to reduce
the amount of light that shines on the opposite
lane of the freeway, and oncoming traffic.
Freeway mode is active if you are driving at a
speed above 68 MPH (110 km/h) and do not
make any large steering movements for at least
3300 ft (1000 m) or if you are driving at a speed
above 81 MPH (130 km/h).
It is not active if you are driving at speeds below
50 MPH (80 km/h) following activation.

CAUTION
•Do not place heavy objects on the glass roof
or surrounding area.
•Do not hang from the sunshade or hang any
objects from it. It may cause damage or de-
formation to the sunshade.
•Close the sunshade when you leave the ve-
hicle for extended periods of time to prevent
the inside of the vehicle from reaching high
temperatures.
SUNSHADE OPERATION
The sunshade operates only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, keep your hands, fin-
gers and head away from the sunshade arm,
the arm rail and sunshade inlet port.
NOTE
The following notes cover situations where
strong sun shining on the roof of the vehicle
causes the area around the sunshade motor to
reach high temperatures:
•If the temperature of the sunshade motor
reaches a value between 185oF (85oC) and
212oF (100oC), “restricted mode” is enabled,
and the sunshade will only be allowed to
CLOSE.

WARNING
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks safety stop and reverse features as
required by federal safety standards.
(These standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.
•During the programming procedure your ga-
rage door or security gate will open and
close (if the transmitter is within range).
Make sure that people or objects are clear of
the garage door, gate, etc. that you are pro-
gramming.
•Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off
while programming the HomeLink® Univer-
sal Transceiver.NOTE
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener. If you
have difficulty programing the integrated ga-
rage door opener, it is recommended you contact
your INFINITI retailer.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
System Start-Up
Due to the large number of features and capa-
bilities that the INFINITI InTouch system needs
to load on start-up, it may take up to a minute
for all functions (such as Apps) to be available.
The system will display the message indicating
that the application is loading during this time.
During the start-up period, hard button controls
for audio will become available before start-up
is complete. Features will become available in
the following order.
•Audio volume and music playback
•Audio Full Screen Access
•Full App Availability – System will display the
message indicating the completion of the
application loading process.
System Response Delay
INFINITI InTouch uses an operating system like
those found on many computers, tablets and
cell phones. Like these devices, processing
speed may vary, and system response delays or
resets may occur intermittently. This does not
indicate a malfunction, and further information
on system operation can be found below. In most situations, simply waiting a few mo-
ments longer should be sufficient for the pend-
ing operations to complete.
If the system temporarily does not respond to
commands, the system can be easily reset.
Simply push down the Audio Power knob for at
least 5 seconds. The system will turn off and
restart.
After restart, all functions should be available.
•Audio will resume, but if you were using
Bluetooth® Audio or an Audio App, the
connection may need to be re-established.
•If a navigation route was set, the route
should resume automatically (models with
navigation system).
•If a phone call was in progress, the call may
be temporarily transferred back to the hand-
set.
System Reset
As noted above, intermittent system resets may
occur during normal operation. You may also
wish to reset the system if you find that a
particular feature is not loading or responding.
Often, a quick system reset will resolve any
issue you may be experiencing. After restart, all
functions will be available as described above. System Updates
Like many digital devices, the INFINITI InTouch
system is designed to allow for software up-
dates as enhancements are developed and ad-
ditional features added. If you have questions
about system performance, it is recommended
you contact your INFINITI retailer to ensure that
your vehicle has had the latest available soft-
ware installed.
Operating Tips
INFINITI InTouch provides several methods of
operation to suit your preferences. The follow-
ing are suggested operating tips.
•Operating the INFINITI Controller, Steering
Wheel Controls, or other controls too quickly
can cause a lag between the control and the
display. Operate the controls carefully and
allow the system to respond to your request.
•INFINITI recommends using Voice Recogni-
tion whenever possible to select options
while driving. Some touch screen functional-
ity is intentionally unavailable during driving.
Please view the available voice commands by
pushing
<
>on the steering wheel and
then selecting a category on the display.
•In some situations, the system may not be
able to recognize your command even if you
Display screen, heater and air conditioner, and audio system4-15

WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and in-
jure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
•Do not adjust the heating and air condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate
even if the engine is turned off and the ignition
switch is in the ON position. NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up. To prevent the windows from misting
up
•Switch off climate control only briefly.
•Switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly.
•Switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting function
briefly, if required. The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control regulates the temperature and the hu-
midity of the vehicle interior and filters unde-
sirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control can only be operated when the engine is
running. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows closed.
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear. Otherwise the vehicle will
not be ventilated correctly.
NOTE
•Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
•The integrated filter filters out most particles
of dust and soot and completely filters out
pollen. With automatic climate control, gas-
eous pollutants and odors will also be re-
duced. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this
reason, you should always observe the inter-
val for replacing the filter, which is specified
in the Service Booklet. As this depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Service Booklet.
