Autolight system
The autolight system allows the headlights to
turn on and off automatically. The autolight
system can:∙ Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail, license plate and instrument panel lights
automatically when it is dark.
∙ Turn off all the lights (except daylight running lights) when it is light.
∙ Keep all the lights on for a period of time after you place the ignition switch in the
OFF position and all doors are closed. NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the time
delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted.
For additional information, refer to the
separate INFINITI InTouch™ Owner’s
Manual.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position
1.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and a door is opened and left
open, the headlights remain on for a period of
time. If another door is opened while the
headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition. 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 covered, 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 ig-
nition switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle’s battery could become discharged.
