High Beam Assist indicatorlight (green)
This indicator light illuminates when the
headlights come on while the headlight
switch is in the AUTO position with the high
beams selected. This indicates that the high
beam assist is operational.
For additional information, refer to “Head-
light switch” in this section.
High beam indicator light(blue)
This blue light comes on when the headlight
high beams are on and goes out when the
low beams are selected.
The high beam indicator light also comes on
when the passing signal is activated.
Malfunction Indicator Light(MIL)
If this indicator light comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate a potential emission control malfunc-
tion. The MIL may also come on steady if the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or if the
vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure
the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 gal-
lons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an emission
control system inspection/maintenance test.
For additional information, refer to “Readi-
ness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test”
in the “Technical and consumer information”
section of this manual. Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:
∙ MIL on steady — An emission control sys- tem malfunction has been detected.
Check the fuel-filler cap if the Loose Fuel
Cap warning appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display. If the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, tighten or install the cap
and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the
light does
not turn off after a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the retailer.
∙ MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the emis-
sion control system. To reduce or avoid
emission control system damage:
– do not drive at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h).
– avoid hard acceleration or decelera- tion.
– avoid steep uphill grades.
– if possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.

Control Assist (DCA) system, or the ICC
(without ProPILOT Assist) system is auto-
matically canceled:∙ When the VDC operates
∙ When a wheel slips
The above system cannot be used in some
situations (VDC operates and wheel slips.)
Not Available Visibility is impaired (if so
equipped)
This message may appear when the Intelli-
gent Cruise Control (ICC) (with ProPILOT
Assist) system is engaged.
Under the following conditions, the ICC (with
ProPILOT Assist) system is automatically
canceled: ∙ The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water,
drops, ice, snow, etc.
∙ Strong light, such as sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles, enter the
front camera
∙ When the wiper (HI) operates
The system will be available when the above
conditions no longer exist. If the warning message continues to appear,
stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and clean the windshield.

This message may appear in the following
situations:
∙ The driver tries to release the electronic parking brake manually without depress-
ing the brake pedal.
∙ The vehicle is stopped on a steep hill; and there is a possibility of moving back-
wards, even if the electronic parking
brake is applied.
∙ The vehicle moves while the automatic brake hold is activated.
For additional information, refer to “Elec-
tronic parking brake” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
Power turned off to save the battery
This message appears after the ignition
switch is automatically turned off. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Push-button ig-
nition switch positions” in the “Starting and

Instruments and controls2-31

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.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
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 oncomingvehicle 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. ∙ The timing of switching the low beam and
high beam may change under the follow-
ing situations.
– The brightness of the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle.
– The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and the leading
vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is
illuminated.
– When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-wheeled
vehicle.
– Road conditions (incline, curve, the road surface, etc.).
– The number of passengers and the amount of luggage. High Beam Assist operation
To activate the High Beam Assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the AUTO posi-
tion
1and push the lever forward2(high
beam position). The High Beam Assist indica-
tor 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. Have the system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
