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 im-
prove the driver’s view. When the headlight
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 16 mph (25 km/h) for the left-side head-
light. Note that the right-side low beam
headlight will swivel but the left side will
not swivel when the vehicle is at a stop
and the steering wheel is turned. The ve-
hicle must attain a speed above 16 mph
(25 km/h) before AFS activates the left-
side headlight.
AFS will also adjust the headlight to a proper
axis automatically, depending on the number
of occupants in the vehicle, the load the ve-
hicle is carrying and the road conditions. If the AFS OFF indicator blinks or the vehicle
information display shows an AFS system
error message after the ignition switch has
been pushed to the ON position, this may
indicate that the AFS is not functioning prop-
erly. Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. When the engine is started, the head-
lights will vibrate to check the system condi-
tion. This is not a malfunction.
Automatic headlight aiming control
(if so equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
headlight levelling system. The headlight axis
is controlled automatically.
INFINITI recommends that you consult the
local regulations on the use of lights.
LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
(DRL) SYSTEM
The LED portion of the headlights automati-
cally illuminate at 100% intensity when the
engine is started and the parking brake re-
leased. The LED Daytime Running Lights
(DRL) system operates with the headlight
switch in the OFF position. When you turn
the headlight switch to the
position forfull illumination, the LED lights switch from
LED DRL system to the park function.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the LED DRL system does
not illuminate. The LED DRL system illumi-
nates when the parking brake is released. The
LED DRL system will remain on until the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch on for interior controls and switches
to illuminate, as those remain off while the
switch is in the OFF position.
WARNING
When the LED DRL system is active, tail
lights on your vehicle are not on. It is neces-
sary at dusk to turn on your headlights.
Failure to do so could cause an accident in-
juring yourself and others.

Linking log-in function to a stored
memory position
The log-in function can be linked to a stored
memory position with the following proce-
dure.1. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion while carrying the Intelligent Key
that was registered to the vehicle with a
log-in function.
NOTE:
Make sure the Intelligent Keys are far apart.
Otherwise, the vehicle may detect the
wrong Intelligent Key. 2. Adjust the position of the driver’s seat, steering column and outside mirrors. For
additional information, refer to “Seats” in
the “Safety—Seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section
of this manual, and “Steering wheel” and
“Outside mirrors” in this section.
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF po- sition.
The next time you log in (selecting the user on
the display) after placing the ignition switch in
the ON position while carrying the Intelligent
Key, the system will automatically adjust to
the memorized driving position. For additional information, refer to the sepa-
rate INFINITI InTouch™ Owner’s Manual and
“Log-in function” in this section.ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s
seat and steering column will automatically
move when you the vehicle is engaged in the
P (Park) position. This allows the driver to
easily get in and out of the driver’s seat.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering column will move up when the igni-
tion is switched to OFF and the driver’s door
is opened.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will re-
turn to the previous position when the igni-
tion is switched to ON.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or
canceled through the “Comfort & Conve-
nience” options of the “Settings” menu in the
lower touch-screen display by performing the
following:
∙ Switch the Lift Steering upon Exit from ON to OFF.
∙ Switch the Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit from ON to OFF.
For additional information, refer to the sepa-
rate INFINITI InTouch™ Owner’s Manual.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the stored memory positions will
be lost and some of the functions will be
restricted: 1. Drive the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h).
OR 2. Open and close the driver’s door more than two times with the ignition switch
in the OFF position.
The entry/exit function should now work
properly.

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to
the vehicle body line
Aare displayed on the
monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
∙ Red line
1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
∙ Yellow line
2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
∙ Green line
3: approx. 7 ft (2 m) Vehicle width guide lines
4
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
5
Indicate the predicted course when backing
up. The predicted course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the shift lever is
in the R (Reverse) position and the steering
wheel is turned. The predicted course lines
will move depending on how much the steer-
ing wheel is turned and will not be displayed
while the steering wheel is in the straight-
ahead position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of
the predicted course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations
on the ground are for approximate reference
only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in
the monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to
illustrations). When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or park and exit the vehicle to view the position-
ing of objects behind the vehicle.
