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 positionother 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. 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.

FOG LIGHT SWITCH (if so
equipped)
To turn the fog lights on, turn the headlight
switch to theposition, then push the fog
light switch on.
To turn the fog lights on with the headlight
switch in the AUTO position, the headlights
must be on, then push the fog light switch on.
To turn the fog lights off, push the fog light
switch again. The headlights must be on and the low beams
selected for the fog lights to operate. The fog
lights automatically turn off when the high
beam headlights are selected.
To sound the horn, push near the horn icon on
the steering wheel.WARNING
Do not disassemble the horn. Doing so
could affect proper operation of the
supplemental front air bag system. Tam-
pering with the supplemental front air bag
system may result in serious personal
injury.

The Steering Assist switch is used to turn on
and off the Steering Assist system that is
activated using the settings menu of the ve-
hicle information display.
The Steering Assist system controls the
steering system to help keep your vehicle
near the center of the lane when driving.
For additional information, see “ProPILOT
Assist” (P. 5-73).WARNING
• The front sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
driving.
• The rear sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and check that it is safe
to do so before backing up. Always back
up slowly. The front sonar system:
• is active when the ignition switch is in the
ON position and the shift lever is in a for-
ward gear position.
• a beeping tone is emitted when the sensors detect obstacles within 3 ft (1.0 m) of the
front bumper.
The rear sonar system:
• is active when the ignition is in the ON position and the shift lever is in R (Reverse).
• a beeping tone is emitted when the sensors detect obstacles within 4.9 ft (1.5 m) of the
rear bumper.
The front and rear sonar system may be en-
abled by pushing the front and rear sonar
switch. Push the switch again to disable the
system.
The system will automatically reset the next
time the ignition switch is turned on.
For additional information, see “Front and
rear sonar system” (P. 5-147).

WARNING
• Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident.
• Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for proper
steering operation and comfort. The
driver's air bag inflates with great force.
If you are unrestrained, leaning forward,
sitting sideways or out of position in any
way, you are at greater risk of injury or
death in a crash. You may also receive
serious or fatal injuries from the air bag if
you are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback and
as far away as practical from the steer-
ing wheel. Always use the seat belts.
