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.

WARNING
To avoid personal injury, keep your hands, fin-
gers and head away from the sunshade arm,
the arm rail and sunshade inlet port.
NOTE
The following notes cover situations where
strong sun shining on the roof of the vehicle
causes the area around the sunshade motor to
reach high temperatures:
•If the temperature of the sunshade motor
reaches a value between 185oF (85oC) and
212oF (100oC), “restricted mode” is enabled,
and the sunshade will only be allowed to
CLOSE.

The power outlet is used for powering electrical
accessories such as a cellular telephone.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-board
voltage does not drop too low. If the on board
voltage is too low, the power to the sockets is
automatically cut. This ensures that there is
sufficient power to start the engine.
CAUTION
•The outlet and plug may be hot during or
immediately after use.
•Only certain power outlets are designed for
use with a cigarette lighter unit. Do not use
any other power outlet for an accessory
lighter. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for additional information.
•Do not use with accessories that exceed a 12
volt, 180W (15A) power draw. Do not use
double adapters or more than one electrical
accessory.
•Use this power outlet with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle bat-
tery.
•Avoid using when the air conditioner, head-
lights or rear window defogger is on.
•Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good
contact is not made, the plug may overheat
or the internal temperature fuse may blow.
•Before inserting or disconnecting a plug, be
sure that the electrical accessory being
used is turned OFF.
•When not in use, be sure to close the cap. Do
not allow water to contact the outlet.

WARNING
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks safety stop and reverse features as
required by federal safety standards.
(These standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.
•During the programming procedure your ga-
rage door or security gate will open and
close (if the transmitter is within range).
Make sure that people or objects are clear of
the garage door, gate, etc. that you are pro-
gramming.
•Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off
while programming the HomeLink® Univer-
sal Transceiver.NOTE
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener. If you
have difficulty programing the integrated ga-
rage door opener, it is recommended you contact
your INFINITI retailer.

•Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear
farther than the actual distance.
•Tall objects, such as a curb or a vehicle, may
