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 warning appears in the vehicle
information display after the ignition
switch has been pushed to the ON posi-
tion, 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
