XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
. When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional headlights.
If they are not correctly aimed, they
might temporarily blind an oncoming
driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights
are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer
and have the headlights adjusted cor-
rectly.
When the xenon headlight is initially
turned on, its brightness or color varies
slightly. However, the color and brightness
will soon stabilize.
.The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation. It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon head-
lights is not reduced.
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will dras-
tically decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact an INFINITI
retailer.

FOREST AIR®(if so equipped)
The Forest Air®system keeps the air inside
the vehicle clean using the automatic air
intake system and automatic ventilation.
The Forest Air
®system also makes the
inside of the vehicle more comfortable,
using a combination of the upper ventilator
and center ventilators at random.

from entering the vehicle, and the system
cleans the air inside of the vehicle with
Plasmacluster
®ion that are emitted from
the ventilator. After 40 seconds, the out-
side odor and exhaust gas sensor activates
and automatically alternates between the
recirculation mode and outside air circula-
tion mode.
. The outside odor and exhaust gas
detection sensor detects industry odors
such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust
gas such as gasoline or diesel.
Inside Air Quality sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an inside air
quality sensor. When the sensor detects
odor in the cabin, the system increases the
fan speed automatically. When the Forest
Air
®system is on, the inside air quality
sensor will turn on. This function may not
work during the first 5 minutes after the
engine is started because the system is
still warming up.
. The Outside/Inside Air Mix function will
turn off when the air recirculation and
outside air circulation modes are chan-
ged manually. When the Outside/Inside
Air Mix function is not active, turn off
and on the Forest Air
®system, the
Outside/Inside Air Mix function will activate again.
Auto humidity control:
The sensor installed on the upper side of
the windshield detects the temperature
and humidity of the passenger compart-
ment and the surface of the windshield,
and controls the humidity of the passenger
compartment to not be over-dry or moist
enough to fog the windows. Moreover, it
detects potential fog before formation on
the windows and operates to remove it.
. Push the “AUTO”or“
”Forest button
(The “AUTO” or“”indicator light on
the button will illuminate and “AUTO
DEF” will appear on the display.)
. The “Auto humidity control” function
will not operate if the fan speed or a
vent outlet is manually adjusted.
(“AUTO DEF” will disappear from the
display.)
. When auto humidity control is turned
off while the Forest Air
®system is on,
turn off and on the Forest Air®system,
the auto humidity control will activate
again.

LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION
(LDP) SYSTEM
Precautions on LDP system
WARNING
.The LDP system will not steer the vehicle
or prevent loss of control. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, and be in control of vehicle at all
times.
. The LDP system is primarily intended for
use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways. It may not detect the lane markers
in certain roads, weather or driving
conditions.
. Using the LDP system under some
conditions of road, lane marker or
weather, or when you change lanes
without using the lane change signal
could lead to an unexpected system
operation. In such conditions, you need
to correct the vehicle’s direction with
your steering operation to avoid acci-
dents. .
When the LDP system is operating, avoid
excessive or sudden steering maneu-
vers. Otherwise, you could lose control
of the vehicle.
. The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 45 MPH
(70 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
. The LDP system may not function
properly under the following conditions,
and do not use the LDP system:
—During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
wind, etc.).
—When driving on slippery roads,
such as on ice or snow, etc.
—When driving on winding or uneven roads.
—When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
—When driving in a makeshift lane.
—When driving on roads where thelane width is too narrow.
—When driving with a tire that is notwithin normal tire conditions (for
example, tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire chains, non-standard wheels).
—When the vehicle is equipped with
nonoriginal brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
. If the LDP system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The lane departure
warning light (orange) on the instrument
panel will illuminate.
. If the lane departure warning light
(orange) illuminates, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle.
Turn the hybrid system off and restart
the hybrid system. If the warning light
(orange) continues to illuminate, have
the LDP system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
. Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
The functions of the LDP system (warning
and brake control assist) may or may not
operate properly under the following con-
ditions:
.On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-stan-
