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.

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
below 3 MPH (5 km/h) and the steering
