CAUTION

tomatically turns off the headlights after a
period of time, you should turn the head-
light switch to the OFF position when the

the vehicle battery.
Automatic headlight aiming control (if
so equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an automatic
headlight levelling system. The headlight axis is
controlled automatically.
INFINITI recommends that you consult the local
regulations on the use of lights.
For additional information, refer to “Xenon head-
light” in this section.
Manual 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 di-
rectly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead
or the windshield 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 without a 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 mir-
ror of the vehicle ahead or the windshield
of oncoming vehicle, the driver of these
vehicles may have difficulty driving be-
cause of the brightness. Use the headlight
aiming control switch to lower the light
axis. For additional information, refer to
“Xenon headlights” in this section.
