Deactivating/activating VDC
:
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
For further information about VDC, see Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system in the
5. Starting and driving section.

2. Press the
orbutton on the
steering wheel to select the [DriveAssist]
menu.
3. Press the
orbutton to select

5. To activate/deactivate: press the button again.
VDC is deactivated if the
warning light
in the combination meter lights up continu-
ously when the engine is running.
If both the
warning light andwarning light are lit continuously, VDC is not
available due to a malfunction.

MessagePossible causes/consequences and solutions
[Currently Unavailable See
Operator’s Manual]ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), BAS (Brake Assist System), VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control), and hill start assist are temporarily
unavailable.
Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) may also have failed.
In addition, the
,andwarning lights may light up in the combination meter.
Possible causes:
•Self-diagnosis is not yet complete.•The on-board voltage may be insufficient.
WARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard,
for example.
The steering and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The braking distance may increase in an emergency braking situation.
If VDC is not operational, VDC is unable to stabilize the vehicle. There is an increased danger of skidding and risk of an accident.
Carefully drive on a suitable stretch of road, making slight steering movements, at a speed above 12 MPH (20 km/h). If the display
message disappears, the functions mentioned above are available again.
If the display message continues to be displayed, drive on carefully and have the system checked. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (LED HEADLIGHT
ONLY)
You can use this function to set the headlights
to change between low beam and high beam
automatically. The system recognizes vehicles
with their lights on, either approaching from the
opposite direction or traveling in front of your
vehicle, and consequently switches the head-
lights from high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low beam
headlight range depending on the distance to
the other vehicle. Once the system no longer
detects any other vehicles, it switches on the
high beam headlights again.
The system’s optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control panel.
WARNING
•The high beam assist system is a conve-
nience but is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing operation. The driver should remain
alert at all times, ensure safe driving prac-
tices and switch the high beams and low
beam manually when necessary.
•The high beam or low beam may not switch
automatically under the following condi-
tions. Switch the high beam and low beam
manually.– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
wind, etc.).
– When a light source similar to a head-
light or tail light is in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle are turned
off, when the color of the light is affected
due to foreign materials on the lights, or
when the light beam is out of position.
– When there is a sudden, continuous
change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes over
rolling hills, or a road that has level dif-
ferences.
– When driving on a road with many
curves. –
When a sign or mirror-like surface is re-
flecting intense light towards the front of
the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being towed by
a leading vehicle is reflecting intense
light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle is dam-
aged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an angle
due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc.
•The timing of switching the low beam and
high beam may change under the following
situations.
– The brightness of the headlights of the
oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle.
– The movement and direction of the on-
coming vehicle and the leading vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle is illumi-
nated.
– When the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle.
– Road conditions (incline, curve, the road
surface, etc.).
– The number of passengers and the
amount of luggage.
•High beam Assist does not recognize road
users:
– Who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians.
NDS595
Instruments and controls2-67

–Who have low intensity lighting, e. g.
cyclists.
– Whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a bar-
rier.
•In very rare cases, High beam Assist recog-
nizes road users too late or not at all. In this,
or in similar situations, the automatic high
beam headlights will not be deactivated or
activated regardless. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Always carefully observe the traffic condi-
tions and switch off the high beam head-
lights in good time.
CAUTION
High beam Assist cannot compensate for road
and weather circumstances while driving. The
system saves the driver from having to operate
the switch. The driver always remains respon-
sible for choosing the correct light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the
headlight switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (general
poor visibility and bad weather conditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, covered
or broken.
Switching High Beam Assist on/off
To switch on:
Turn the light switch to and press the
combination switch beyond the pressure point
in the direction of arrow
3. Theindicator
light in the vehicle information display lights up
when it is dark and the light sensor switches on
the low-beam headlights.
If you are driving at speeds above approxi-
mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) the headlight range is
set automatically depending on the distance
between the vehicle and other road users.
If you are driving at speeds above approxi-
mately 34 MPH (55 km/h) and no other road
users are detected, the high beam headlights
are switched on automatically. The
indi- cator light in the combination meter also lights
up.
If you are driving at speeds below approxi-
mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) or other road users
are detected or the roads are adequately lit The
high beam headlights are switched off auto-
matically. The
indicator light in the com-
bination meter goes out. Theindicator
light in the vehicle information display remains
lit.
To deactivate
:
Move the combination switch back to its normal
position Theindicator light in the vehicle
information display goes out.
HEADLIGHTS MISTED UP ON THE
INSIDE
Certain climatic and physical conditions may
cause moisture to form in the headlight. This
moisture does not affect the functionality of the
headlight.
