turn the headlight switch to the AUTO posi-
tion and push the switch as illustrated with
the engine running. The
High Beam
Assist indicator light in the meter will illumi-
nate while the headlights are turned on.

tion of the high beam assist system and pre-
vent a system malfunction, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including transpar- ent material) or install an accessory near
the ambient image sensor.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the ambient image sensor. Do not touch the
sensor lens that is located on the ambient
image sensor.

If the ambient image sensor is damaged due
to an accident, it is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer.
Battery saver system
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position while the headlight switch is in the
orposition, the headlights will turn
off after a period of time.
NOTE:
The Battery Saver system may be disabled.
For additional information, see “Vehicle in-
formation display-7 inch (18 cm) Type A”
(P. 2-22) or “Vehicle information display-
12.3 inch (31 cm) Type B” (P. 2-44).
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 steer-
ing wheel in a turn, the AFS system will be
activated.
The AFS will operate:
• when the headlight switch is on.
• 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.
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.
Automatic headlight aiming control will also
adjust the headlight to a proper axis auto-
matically, depending on the number of occu-
pants in the vehicle, the load the vehicle is
carrying and the road conditions.
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. When you turn
the headlight switch to the
position for
full illumination, the LED lights switch from
LED DRL system to the park function.
