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 inthe
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 position 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 headlight. 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 vehicle 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 or AUTO position
with bright ambient light. When you turn the
headlight switch to the
position for full
illumination, the LED lights switch from LED
DRL system to the park function.
Instruments and controls2-41

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 nec-
essary at dusk to turn on your headlights.
Failure to do so could cause an accident
injuring yourself and others.

WARNING
• To avoid personal injury, keep your
hands, fingers and head away from the
sunshade arm, the arm rail and sunshade
inlet port.
• Do not allow children near the sunshade
system. They could be injured.
• Do not place objects on or near the sun-
shade. This could cause improper opera-
tion or damage it.
• Do not pull or push the sunshade. This
could cause improper operation or dam-
age it.
CAUTION
• Do not place objects (such as newspa-
pers, handkerchiefs, etc.) on the sun-
shade inlet port. Doing so may entangle
these objects in the sunshade when it is
extending or retracting, causing im-
proper operation or damage to the
sunshade.
• Do not push the sunshade arm with your
hands, etc., as this may deform it. Im-
proper operation or damage to the sun-
shade may result. •
Do not put any object into the sunshade
inlet port as this may result in improper
operation or damage the sunshade.
• Do not hang any object on the arm rail as
this may result in improper operation or
damage the sunshade.
• Do not forcefully pull the sunshade. Do-
ing so may elongate the sunshade. Im-
proper operation or damage to the sun-
shade may result.
The interior lights will automatically turn on
and stay on for a period of time when:
• The doors are unlocked by the IntelligentKey, a key or the request switch while all
doors are closed and the ignition switch is
in the OFF position.
• The doors and/or liftgate is opened.
• The switch is individually pushed.
When the ON switch
O1is pushed, the inte-
rior lights illuminate.

NOTE:
The footwell lights and step lights illuminate
when the driver and passenger doors are
open regardless of the interior light switch
position. These lights will turn off automati-
cally after a period of time while doors are

For additional information, see “Exterior and
interior lights” (P. 8-24).The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Will operate most radio frequency devices
such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
• Is powered by your vehicle's battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle's battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures (Ex-
ample: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For additional
information, see “Programming
HomeLink®” (P. 2-74).WARNING
• Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. For additional in-
formation, see “Push-button ignition
switch” (P. 5-13). Do not breathe ex-
haust gases; they contain colorless and
odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-
oxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became effec-
tive 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
garage 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 programming.

• On roads where there are sharp curves.
• On roads where there are sharply contrast- ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW system could de-
tect these items as lane markers.)
• On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
• When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
• When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
• When rain, snow, dirt or an object adheres to the windshield in front of the lane cam-
era unit.
• When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not ad-
justed properly. • When strong light enters the lane camera
unit. (For example, the light directly shines
on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
• When a sudden change in brightness oc- curs. (For example, when the vehicle enters
or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 104°F [40°C]) and then started, the
LDW system may be deactivated automati-
cally and the following message will appear in
the vehicle information display: “Not avail-
able: High Camera Temp.”
When the interior temperature is reduced, the
LDW system will resume operating
automatically.
The LDW system is not designed to warn
