Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolight sensor located in the top side
1of the instrument panel. The autolight
sensor controls the autolight; if it is cov-
ered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is
dark out and the headlights will illuminate.
If this occurs while parked with the engine
off and the ignition switch placed in the ON
position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.
Headlight beam select
1To select the high beam function, push the
lever forward. The high beam lights come on
and the
light illuminates.
2Pull the lever back to select the low beam.
3Pulling and releasing the lever flashes the
headlight high beams on and off.
High beam assist (if so equipped)
The high beam assist system will operate when
the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) and above. If an oncoming
vehicle or leading vehicle appears in front of your vehicle when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low beam auto-
matically.
WARNING
●
The high beam assist system is a con-
venience but it is not a substitute for
safe driving operation. The driver
should remain alert at all times, ensure
safe driving practices and switch the
high beams and low beam manually
when necessary.
● The high beam or low beam may not
switch automatically under the follow-
ing conditions. Switch the high beam
and low beam manually.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.) .
– When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity
of the vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncom- ing 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.

To turn off the high beam assist system, turn the
headlight switch to the
position or select
the low beam position by placing the lever in the
neutral position.
Ambient image sensor maintenance
The ambient image sensor
1for the high beam
assist system is located in front of the inside
mirror. To maintain the proper operation of the
high beam assist system and prevent a system
malfunction, be sure to observe the following:
● Always keep the windshield clean.
● Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
ambient image sensor.
● Do not strike or damage the areas around
the ambient image sensor. Do not touch the
sensor lens that is located on the ambient
image sensor. If the ambient image sensor is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer.
Battery saver system
The battery saver system automatically turns off
the ignition after a period of time when the igni-
tion switch is left in the ACC or ON position.
The battery saver system automatically turns off
the following lights after a period of time when the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position and
the doors are closed:
● Headlights, when the headlight switch is in
the
orposition
● Interior lights, when left in the ON position
The battery saver system may be disabled. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle informa-
tion display” in this section.
CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature au-
tomatically turns off the headlights after a
period of time, you should turn the head-
light switch to the OFF position when the
engine is not running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.

MOTION-ACTIVATED LIFTGATE (if so
equipped)
The liftgate can be opened/closed using a foot
kicking motion when it is locked or unlocked. Two
sensors along the rear bumper (center area) can
detect a forward kicking motion
B. The Intelli-
gent Key must be present within 3 ft (1 m) of the
liftgate to allow using the hands free feature to
open/close the liftgate. NOTE:
To achieve proper motion activation, kick
within the kicking zone
A2 ft (60 cm) .
Improper kicking either from side to side
Cor at anglesDwill not open/close the
liftgate.
CAUTION
Before performing the kicking motion,
steady your stance to prevent any loss of
balance. Also, while making the kicking
motion, take caution around hot exhaust
system parts. Otherwise, there may be
danger of injury.

To turn on the automatic anti-glare feature, press
the | button again. The indicator light will turn
on.
For information on HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver operation, refer to “HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
NOTE:
Do not hang any objects over the sensors
1or apply glass cleaner to the sensors.
Doing so will reduce the sensitivity of the
sensors, resulting in improper operation.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
The outside mirror remote control will operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
position.
Move the small switch
1to select the left or right
mirror. Adjust each mirror to the desired position
using the large switch
2.
WARNING
● Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
● Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the sonar function
as outlined in this section could result in
serious injury or death.
●The sonar is a convenience feature. It is
not a substitute for proper parking.
● This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.
● The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
● Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
● Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar as contained in this section.
The sonar function helps to inform the driver of
large stationary objects around the vehicle when
parking by issuing an audible and visual alert. 1. Center display

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the sonar function. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
● Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car wash,
a trucks’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the system, including reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
● The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
● The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
● The system may not detect the follow-
ing objects:
– Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain. – Wedge-shaped objects.
● If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at the
corners of the vehicle icon and the function can-
not be activated from the Camera setting menu
(the setting items are grayed out) , the sonar
system may be malfunctioning.
