Daytime running light system
(Canada only)
The daytime running lights automatically illumi-
nate when the engine is started with the park-
ing brake released. The daytime running lights
operate with the headlight switch in the OFF
position or in the
position. Turn the
headlight switch to the
position for full
illumination when driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the engine
is started, the daytime running lights do not
illuminate. The daytime running lights illumi-
nate once the parking brake is released. The
daytime running lights will remain on until the
ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position.
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 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 selector 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 headlight. Note
that the right-side low beam headlight will
swivel but the left side will not swivel when
the vehicle is below 3 MPH (5 km/h) 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. To turn the AFS off, push the AFS switch. (The
AFS OFF indicator light will illuminate.) Push the
switch again to turn the system on again.
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.

(See “LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM/LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion.)
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW)/Blind Spot Inter-
vention (BSI) indicator lights, located next to
the outside mirrors, will illuminate if the radar
sensors detect 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 BSW/BSI indicator light will flash. (See
“BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM/BLIND
SPOT INTERVENTION™ (BSI) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The warning systems switch is automatically
turned on when the engine is started, and the
warning systems ON indicator
1on the switch
illuminates.
To cancel the warning systems, push the warn-
ing systems switch to turn off the system. The
warning systems ON indicator will turn off. NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning systems
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default status of
the LDW, BSW and FCW systems to OFF so that
these systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this procedure is
repeated, the default status will return to ON.
The vehicle should be driven with the Intelligent
Brake Assist (IBA) system on for most driving
conditions.
The Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system will
sound a warning chime and the vehicle ahead
detection indicator light blinks to alert the
driver when the vehicle is traveling too close to
the vehicle ahead. The system will also apply
the brake control if necessary.
To turn off the system, push the IBA OFF switch.
The
indicator will illuminate.
The IBA system will remain in the last ON or OFF
state it was left in until it is manually changed
by pushing the IBA OFF switch.

See “INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST (IBA) SYSTEM”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be 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 will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. (See “VEHICLE
DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.) If the power supply is disconnected, the clock
will not indicate the correct time. Readjust the
time.
ADJUSTING THE TIME
1. To set the clock forward, push the button
1.
2. To set the clock backward, push the but- ton
2.
3. To move forward or backward faster, push and hold the button more than 5 seconds.
For details about display clock adjustment (if so
equipped), see “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON”
in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems” section.
