2022 INFINITI QX50 display

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 AUTO 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 inthe
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.
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 im-
prove the driver’s view. When the headlight
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 position is in any position other than P (Park) or R (Reverse).
• when the vehicle is driven at above 16 mph (25 km/h) for the left-side headlight. Note
that the right-side low beam headlight will
swivel but the left side will not swivel when
the vehicle is at a stop and the steering
wheel is turned. The vehicle must attain a
speed above 16 mph (25 km/h) before AFS
activates the left-side headlight.
AFS will also adjust the headlight to a proper
axis automatically, depending on the number
of occupants in the vehicle, the load the ve-
hicle is carrying and the road conditions.
If the AFS OFF indicator blinks or the vehicle
information display shows an AFS system
error message after the ignition switch has been pushed to the ON position, this may
indicate that the AFS is not functioning prop-
erly. Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. When the engine is started, the head-
lights will vibrate to check the system condi-
tion. This is not a malfunction.
Automatic headlight aiming control
(if so equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
headlight levelling system. The headlight axis
is controlled automatically.
INFINITI recommends that you consult the
local regulations on the use of lights.
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 or AUTO position
with bright ambient light. When you turn the
headlight switch to the
position for full
illumination, the LED lights switch from LED
DRL system to the park function.

hicle information display.
The Steering Assist system controls the
steering system to help keep your vehicle
near the center of the lane when driving. For
additional information, see “ProPILOT As-
sist” (P. 5-71).

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-5

The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.
The Intelligent Key system transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions may
interfere with the operation of the Intelligent
Key system under the following operating
conditions:
• When operating near a location wherestrong radio waves are transmitted, such as
a TV tower, power station and broadcast-
ing station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular telephone, transceiver or
a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key function
or use the mechanical key. Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the bat-
tery’s life is approximately two years. If the
battery is discharged, replace it with a new
one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, a
“Key Battery Low” indicator illuminates in the
vehicle information display. For additional in-
formation, see “Vehicle information display
warnings and indicators” (P. 2-21).
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.
For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-22).
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occurrences
which will damage the Intelligent Key:
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which
contains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water.
This could affect the system function.
• Do not drop the Intelligent Key. •
Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
• Wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, im-
mediately wipe until it is completely dry.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
• Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a
key holder that contains a magnet.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key near
equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment and
personal computers.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, INFINITI
recommends erasing the ID code of that In-
telligent Key from the vehicle. This may pre-
vent the unauthorized use of the Intelligent
Key to operate the vehicle. For information
regarding the erasing procedure, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer.
