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
improve the driver’s view. When the head-
light 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 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 vehicle is carrying and the road
conditions.
If the AFS OFF indicator light blinks after
the ignition switch has been pushed to the
ON position, this may indicate that the AFS
is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When the engine is started, the headlights
will vibrate to check the system condition.
This is not a malfunction.
