∙The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation.
It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for ex-
ample, when the vehicle stops at a traffic
signal).
∙ If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above signs
appear, it is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for service.

NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the time
delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section.
To turn on the autolight system:1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position

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

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.Headlight beam select

engine is not running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.
LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
(DRL) SYSTEM
The LED portion of the headlights automati-
cally illuminate at 100% intensity when the
engine is started and the parking brake re-
leased. The LED Daytime Running Lights
(DRL) system operates with the headlight
switch in the OFF position. When you turn

not illuminate. The LED DRL system illumi-
nates when the parking brake is released. The
LED DRL system will remain on until the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch on for interior controls and switches
to illuminate, as those remain off while the
switch is in the OFF position.

When the Rear Door Alert system is activated
and a driver exits the vehicle after arriving at a
destination:∙ When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a message appears in the
vehicle information display for a driver to
“Dismiss Message” or “Disable Alert” if
desired.
∙ With the system enabled, when the driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert (horn
sound) will occur unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short time to
deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear door, the
horn will sound.
∙ If the system is activated but the rear liftgate is opened before opening a rear
door, the horn will be delayed until after
the liftgate is closed.
∙ If the audible horn alert occurs, a mes- sage will also appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display that states, “Check Back
Seat for All Articles”.WARNING
• If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no au-
dible alert will be provided regardless of
rear door open/close status.
• There may be times when there is an object
or passenger in the rear seat(s) but the au-
dible alert does not sound. For example,
this may occur if the engine is turned off
and then on again in a short period of time
during a trip, or if rear seat passengers en-
ter or exit the vehicle during a trip.
• The system does not directly detect ob-
jects or passengers in the rear seat(s). In-
stead, it can detect when a rear door is
opened and closed, indicating that there
may be something in the rear seat(s).
