High beam assist operations:
To activate the high beam assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the AUTO
position
and push the lever forward(high beam position). The high beam assist
indicator light in the meter will illuminate
while the headlights are turned on.
If the high beam assist indicator light does
not illuminate in the above condition, it may
indicate that the system is not functioning
properly. It is recommended you have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 17 MPH (27 km/h), the head-
light remains the low beam. To turn off the high beam assist system, turn
the headlight switch to the
position or
select the low beam position by placing the

Adaptive Front lighting System
(AFS) (if so equipped)
The Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)
will automatically adjust the headlights (low
beam) toward the turning direction to
improve the driver’s view. When the head-
light switch is ON and the driver operates
the steering wheel in a turn, the AFS system
will be activated.
The AFS will operate:
.when the headlight switch is ON.
. when the shift lever is in any position
other than P (Park) or R (Reverse).
. when the vehicle is driven at above 3
MPH (5 km/h) for the left-side head-
light. Note that the right-side low beam
headlight will swivel but the left-side
headlight will not swivel when the vehicle
is below 3 MPH (5 km/h) and the
steering wheel is turned.
AFS will also adjust the headlight to a proper
axis automatically, depending on the number
of occupants in the vehicle, the load the
vehicle is carrying and the road conditions.
If the AFS warning appears in the vehicle
information display after the ignition switch
has been pushed to the ON position, this may indicate that the AFS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. When the engine is started,
the headlights will vibrate to check the
system condition. This is not a malfunction.

The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be
reduced even if the accelerator is depressed
to the floor. If maximum engine power is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC
system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See

WARNING
.
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver’s air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious or
fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.
