engine is not running for extended
periods of time even if the headlights
turn off automatically.
SIC2275
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 wind-
shield 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.
WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright
compared to conventional headlights. If
the xenon headlights hit the rearview mirror
of the vehicle ahead or the windshield of
oncoming vehicle, the driver of these
vehicles may have difficulty driving because
of the brightness. Use the headlight aiming
control switch to lower the light axis. See
“Xenon headlights”
(P.2-38) for additional
information.
Daytime running light system (Ca-
nada only)
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
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 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 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 at a
stop 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.
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.
