tion, or start the engine.
•Turn the light switch to. The greenindicator light in the combination
meter lights up.

•High beam Assist does not recognize
road users:
–Who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians.
–Who have low intensity lighting, e. g.
cyclists.
–Whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a
barrier.
•In very rare cases, High beam Assist rec-
ognizes road users too late or not at all.
In this, or in similar situations, the auto-
matic high beam headlights will not be
deactivated or activated regardless.
There is a risk of an accident.
•Always carefully observe the traffic
conditions and switch off the high beam
headlights in good time.
CAUTION
High beam Assist cannot compensate for
road and weather circumstances while
driving. The system saves the driver from
having to operate the switch. The driver
always remains responsible for choosing
the correct light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the
headlight switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (gen-
eral poor visibility and bad weather con-
ditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, cov-
ered or broken.
Switching High Beam Assist on/off
To switch on:
Turn the light switch to and press
the combination switch beyond the pressure
point in the direction of arrow

mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) the headlight
range is set automatically depending on the
distance between the vehicle and other road
users.

POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
•Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in
motion and before closing the windows.
Use the window lock switch to prevent
unexpected use of the power windows.
•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
The switches for all side windows are located
on the driver's door. There is also a switch on
each door for the corresponding side window
The switches on the driver's door take prece-
dence.
Auto-reverse function
The auto-reverse function can be activated
when a window is closed by automatic op-
eration.
Depending on the environment or driving con-
ditions, the auto-reverse function may be ac-
tivated if an impact or load similar to some-
thing being caught in the window occurs.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which can-
not be detected. Make sure that all passen-
gers have their hands, etc., inside the
vehicle before closing the window.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, re-
placed, or jump started, the power window
auto-reverse function may not operate prop-
erly. If this occurs, it is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer to re-initialize the power
window auto-reverse system.
If the control unit detects something caught
in a window equipped with automatic opera-
tion as it is closing, the window will be imme-
diately lowered.

ROOF RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
Genuine NISSAN accessory cross bars are
available through an INFINITI retailer. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for cross bar or other equipment information.
Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars (if so equipped) must be in-
stalled before applying load/cargo/luggage
to the roof of the vehicle. Always distribute
the luggage evenly on the cross bars. Do not
load more than 221 lb (100 kg) on the roof
rails. Observe the maximum load limit shown
on the crossbars or roof carriers when you
attach them on the roof rails.Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front
and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located
on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification
label (located on the driver’s door pillar). For
additional information, refer to "Vehicle load-
ing information".
WARNING
•Always install the cross bars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof
may cause vehicle damage.
•Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying ca-
pacity, especially if the significant por-
tion of that load is carried on the cross
bars/roof rack.
•Heavy loading of the cross bars/roof
rack has the potential to affect the ve-
hicle stability and handling during sud-
den or unusual handling maneuvers.
•Roof rack load should be evenly distrib-
uted.
•Do not exceed maximum cross bar/roof
rack load weight capacity.
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
CAUTION
Always install the cross bars (if so
equipped) onto the roof side rails before
loading cargo of any kind. Loading cargo
directly onto the roof side rails or the vehi-
cle's roof may cause vehicle damage.
