2017 INFINITI QX30 low beam

Active light function
The active light function is a system that moves
the headlights according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This helps you to recognize pedestrians, cy-
clists and animals. It is active when the lights
are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the low-beam headlights are
switched on. It is active if you are driving at
speeds below 25 MPH (40 km/h) and switch on
the turn signal or turn the steering wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
short time, but is automatically switched off
after no longer than three minutes.
Freeway mode
Freeway mode adjusts the light beam to reduce
the amount of light that shines on the opposite
lane of the freeway, and oncoming traffic.
Freeway mode is active if you are driving at a
speed above 68 MPH (110 km/h) and do not
make any large steering movements for at least
3300 ft (1000 m) or if you are driving at a speed
above 81 MPH (130 km/h).
It is not active if you are driving at speeds below
50 MPH (80 km/h) following activation.

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
reflecting 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
damaged 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
2-66Instruments and controls

–Who have low intensity lighting, e. g.
cyclists.
–Whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a
barrier.
•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 approximately
34 MPH (55 km/h) and no other road users are
detected, the high beam headlights are switched
on automatically. The
indicator 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
combination meter goes out. The
indica-
tor light in the vehicle information display re-
mains 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.

INSTRUMENT BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
The light sensor in the combination meter au-
tomatically controls the brightness of the in-
strument panel
In daylight, the displays in the combination

The lighting in the combination meter, displays
and controls in the vehicle interior can be
adjusted using the brightness control knob.
The brightness control knob
1is located be-
hind the steering wheel.
Turn the brightness control knob clockwise or
counterclockwise. If the light switch is set to
orthe brightness is dependent
upon the brightness of the ambient light.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS
In conditions where visibility is poor due to fog,
snow or rain, the fog lights improve visibility as
well as making it easier for other road users to
see you. They can be operated together with the
side lights or together with the side lights and
low beam headlights.
