Headlight beam select
1To select the high beam function, push
the lever forward while the low beams
are on. The high beam lights come on and
the
indicator light illuminates.
2Pull the lever back to return to the low
beam.
3Pulling and releasing the lever flashes the
headlight high beams on and off. The low
beams do not need to be on for this to
function.
High Beam Assist (if so equipped)
The High Beam Assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of ap-
proximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and above. If
an oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle ap-
pears in front of your vehicle when the head-
light high beam is on, the headlight will be
switched to the low beam automatically.
WARNING
∙ The High Beam Assist system is a conve- nience but it is not a substitute for safe
driving operation. The driver should re-
main 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 following
conditions. 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 differences.
– 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 in-
tense 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.

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 opera-
tion of the High Beam Assist system and
prevent a system malfunction, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
∙ Always keep the windshield clean.
∙ Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent 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 ignition 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
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.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT
SYSTEM
The daytime running lights automatically illu-
minate when the engine is started with the
parking brake released. The daytime running
lights operate with the headlight switch in the
OFF position or in the
position. Turn
the headlight switch to the
position for
full illumination when driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the daytime running lights
do not illuminate. The daytime running lights
illuminate when the parking brake is released.
The daytime running lights will remain on until
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF posi-
tion or headlight switch is turned to the
position.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system is
active, tail lights on your vehicle are not on.
It is necessary at dusk to turn on your head-
lights. Failure to do so could cause an acci-
dent injuring yourself and others.

WARNING
When this switch is activated the following
Warning Systems (if so equipped) are
turned off and will not work.
∙ Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
∙ Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
∙ Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the warning systems (Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Warning
(BSW), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA))
that are activated (if equipped) using the set-
tings menu on the vehicle information display. When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
1on the switch is off. The
indicator will also be off if the warning sys-
tem is deactivated using the settings menu.
The LDW system warns the driver with a
warning light and chime that the vehicle is
beginning to leave the driving lane.For addi-
tional information, refer to “Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.
The BSW system will turn on the side indica-
tor light, located next to the outside mirrors, if
the radar detects a vehicle in the detection
zone. If the turn signal is activated in the
direction of the detected vehicle, a chime
sounds twice and the side indicator light will
flash. For additional information, refer to
“Blind Spot Warning (BSW)” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual.
The RCTA system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle when the driver is
backing out of a parking space. If the system
detects an approaching vehicle from either
side, the system chimes (once) and the side
BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes on the
side the vehicle is approaching from. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual. To use the outlets for devices that require
120v power, place the ignition in the ON
position and push the power inverter switch.
The switch will illuminate when enabled.
CAUTION
∙ Use power outlets with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
∙ Do not attempt to use this while driving.
∙ Do not use double adapters or more than one electrical accessory, doing so could
significantly drain the battery of your
vehicle.

∙ The outside mirror control switch is set to the neutral or center position.
∙ The ignition switch is placed in the OFF position. NOTE:
If the outside mirror control switch is in the
center position, the mirror surface will NOT
turn downward when the shift lever is
moved to R (Reverse).
For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic drive positioner” in this section.
Automatic anti-glare outside mirror
(if so equipped)
The outside mirror will automatically dim dur-
ing nighttime conditions to reduce the glare
from the headlights of trailing vehicles. The
automatic anti-glare feature operates only

position.
The automatic anti-glare feature will be on
when starting the vehicle. The indicator light
on the automatic anti-glare rearview mirror
will illuminate when the automatic anti-glare
feature is operating.

starting, depress the accelerator pedal
a little (approximately 1/3 to the floor)
and while holding, crank the engine.
Release the accelerator pedal when
the engine starts.
∙ If the engine is very hard to start be- cause it is flooded, depress the accel-

moderate speed for a short distance
first, especially in cold weather. In cold
weather, keep the engine running for a
minimum of2-3minutes before shut-
ting it off. Starting and stopping the en-
gine over a short period of time may
make the vehicle more difficult to start.
