light INFINITI QX60 2019 Workshop Manual

High Beam Assist (if so equipped)
The High Beam Assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of ap-
proximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and above. If
an oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle ap-
pears in front of your vehicle when the head-
light high beam is on, the headlight will be
switched to the low beam automatically.
WARNING
∙ The High Beam Assist system is a conve-nience but it is not a substitute for safe
driving operation. The driver should re-
main alert at all times, ensure safe driving
practices and switch the high beams and
low beam manually when necessary.
∙ The high beam or low beam may not switch automatically under the following
conditions. Switch the high beam and low
beam manually.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
– When a light source similar to a head- light or tail light is in the vicinity of the
vehicle. – When the headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle are
turned off, when the color of the light
is affected due to foreign materials on
the lights, or when the light beam is
out of position.
– When there is a sudden, continuous change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a road that has
level differences.
– When driving on a road with many curves.
– When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense light towards the
front of the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is reflecting in-
tense light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured tire, being towed,
etc. ∙ The timing of switching the low beam and
high beam may change under the follow-
ing situations.
– The brightness of the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle.
– The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and the leading
vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is
illuminated.
– When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-wheeled
vehicle.
– Road conditions (incline, curve, the road surface, etc.).
– The number of passengers and the amount of luggage.

High Beam Assist operation
To activate the High Beam Assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the AUTO posi-
tion
1and push the lever forward2(high
beam position). The High Beam Assist indica-
tor light in the meter will illuminate while the
headlights are turned on.
If the High Beam Assist indicator light does
not illuminate in the above condition, it may
indicate that the system is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. 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.

Instruments and controls2-43

∙ Do not strike or damage the areas aroundthe 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
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position while the headlight switch is in
the
orposition, the headlights
will turn off after a period of time.
NOTE:
The Battery Saver system may be disabled.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section.
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.
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 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 neces-
sary at dusk to turn on your headlights.
Failure to do so could cause an accident in-
juring yourself and others.

The rear seats are warmed by built-in heat-
ers. The switches are located on the rear of
the front center console and can be operated
independently of each other.1. Start the engine.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch, as desired. The indicator light in the
switch will illuminate.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and
off. The indicator light will remain on as

switch off. The heated steering wheel system is de-
signed to operate only when the surface tem-
perature of the steering wheel is below 68°F
(20°C).
Push the heated steering wheel switch to
warm the steering wheel after the engine
starts. The indicator light will come on.
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on
to maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C). The indicator light will remain on as
long as the system is on. Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The in-
dicator light will go off.

WARNING
When this switch is activated the following
Warning Systems (if so equipped) are
turned off and will not work.
∙ Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
∙ Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
∙ Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the warning systems (Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Warning
(BSW), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA))
that are activated (if so equipped) using the
settings menu on the vehicle information dis-
play.
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
1on the switch is off. The
indicator will also be off if the warning sys-
tem is deactivated using the settings menu.
The LDW system warns the driver with a
warning light and chime that the vehicle is
beginning to leave the driving lane. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.
The BSW system will turn on the side indica-
tor light, located next to the outside mirrors, if
the radar detects a vehicle in the detection
zone. If the turn signal is activated in the
direction of the detected vehicle, a chime
sounds twice and the side indicator light will
flash. For additional information, refer to
“Blind Spot Warning (BSW)” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual. The RCTA system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle when the driver is
backing out of a parking space. If the system
detects an approaching vehicle from either
side, the system chimes (once) and the side
BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes on the
side the vehicle is approaching from. For ad-

reduced even if the accelerator is depressed
to the floor. If maximum engine power is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC
system off.To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
come on.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic

object or passenger in the rear seat(s). Check
the seat(s) before exiting the vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system using
the vehicle information display. For additional
information, refer to “Vehicle information
display warnings and indicators” in this sec-
tion.
When the system is enabled:
∙ The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed approximately
10 minutes before the vehicle is started.
When the vehicle is started and the sys-
tem is activated, a visual message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display.
For additional information, refer to “Rear
