when the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 22 MPH (35 km/h) and
above. If an oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle appears in front of your vehicle when
the headlight high beam is on, the headlight
will be switched to the low beam automa-
tically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a substitute
for safe driving operation. The driver
should remain 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 fol-
lowing conditions. Switch the high
beam and low beam manually.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
— When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the
vicinity of the vehicle. — When the headlights of the on-
coming 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, contin- uous 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 sur- face is reflecting intense light
towards the front of the vehicle.
— When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is
reflecting intense 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
following 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 on- coming 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.

position
and push the lever forward(high beam position). The high beam assist
indicator 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

system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 17 MPH (27 km/h), the head-
light remains 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

Ambient image sensor maintenance:
The ambient image sensor
for the high
beam assist system is located as shown. To
keep the proper operation of the high beam
assist system and prevent a system mal-
function, be sure to observe 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 you visit

an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Battery saver system
A chime will sound when the driver side door
is opened with the light switch in theorposition and the ignition switch in the
OFF or LOCK position.
When the headlight switch is in the
orposition while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the lights will automatically
turn off after a period of time when the
ignition switch has been pushed to the OFF
position.
When the headlight switch remains in the
orposition after the lights auto-
matically turn off, the lights will turn on
when the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position.
CAUTION
. When you turn on the headlight
switch again after the lights auto-
matically turn off, the lights will not
turn off automatically. Be sure to
turn the light switch to the OFF
position when you leave the vehicle
for extended periods of time, other-
wise the battery will be discharged. .

Headlight aiming control (if so
equipped)
Depending on the number of occupants in
the vehicle and the load it is carrying, the
headlight axis may be higher than desired. If
the vehicle is traveling on a hilly road, the
headlights may directly hit the rearview
mirror of the vehicle ahead or the windshield
of the oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered with the operation of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the
switch, the lower the axis.
When traveling with no heavy load or on a
flat road, select position 0.

Daytime running light system
The daytime running lights automatically
illuminate when the engine is started with
the parking brake released. The daytime
running lights operate with the headlight
switch in the OFF position or in the
position. Turn the headlight switch to theposition for full illumination when driv-
ing at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the daytime running lights
do not illuminate. The daytime running lights
illuminate once the parking brake is released.
The daytime running lights will remain on
until the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system
is active, tail lights on your vehicle are
not on. It is necessary at dusk to turn on
your headlights. Failure to do so could
cause an accident injuring yourself and
others.
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 3
MPH (5 km/h) for the left-side head-
light. Note that the right-side low beam
headlight will swivel but the left-side
headlight will not swivel when the vehicle
is below 3 MPH (5 km/h) and the
steering wheel is turned.
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. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. When the
engine is started, the headlights will vibrate
to check the system condition. This is not a
malfunction.
HEADLIGHT WASHER (if so
equipped)
The headlight washer operates when the
headlight is on and the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
Pull the windshield washer switch toward
you. The headlight washer operates with the
windshield washer operation. This operation
activates once each time either the ignition
switch or the headlight switch is turned off
and on.
After the first operation, the headlight
washer operates once at every fifth opera-
tion of the windshield washer.
CAUTION
. Do not operate the washer continu-
ously for longer than 30 seconds.
. Do not operate the headlight washer
if the window washer fluid reservoir
is empty.
