2014 INFINITI QX80 parking brake

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 aflat 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”
earlier in this section
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:
.
Right-side headlight

Remote engine start operating range:
The remote engine start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within
the specified operating range from the
vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower,
and the Intelligent Key may not function
properly.
The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
