When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 16 mph (25 km/h), the head-
light uses the low beam.
To turn off the High Beam Assist system, turn
the headlight switch to the
position or
select the low beam position by placing the
lever in the neutral position.
Ambient image sensor maintenance
The ambient image sensor
1for the High
Beam Assist system is located in front of the
inside mirror. To maintain the proper opera-
tion of the High Beam Assist system and
prevent a system malfunction, be sure to ob-
serve 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 that you
visit an INFINITI retailer.
Battery saver system
The battery saver system automatically turns
off the ignition after a period of time when
the ignition switch is left in the AUTO ACC or
ON position.
The battery saver system automatically turns
off the following lights after a period of time
when the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position and the doors are closed:
∙ Headlights, when the headlight switch is in the
orposition
∙
Interior lights, when left in the ON position
CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature au-
tomatically turns off the headlights after a
period of time, you should turn the head-
light switch to the OFF position when the
engine is not running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.

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.

– When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear, low
tire pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
