2023 INFINITI QX80 fog light

High beam assist
The high beam assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 22 MPH (35 km/h) and
above. If an oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle appears in front of your vehicle when
the headlight high beam is on, the headlight
will be switched to the low beam automa-
tically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a substitute
for safe driving operation. The driver
should remain 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 fol-
lowing conditions. Switch the high
beam and low beam manually.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
— When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the
vicinity of the vehicle. — When the headlights of the on-
coming vehicle 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, contin- uous 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 sur- face is reflecting intense light
towards the front of the vehicle.
— When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is
reflecting intense 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
following 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 on- coming 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.

Flicker image (example)
. When LED headlights are viewed on the
Smart Rearview Mirror display, the
images may flicker. This is normal.
. Due to diffused reflection from external
environment, images on the screen may
flicker. This is not a malfunction.
. A quick movement of a thing may not be
able to display on the camera view
screen. This is not a malfunction.
. Turn on the headlights at twilight or in a
tunnel, etc.
. The Smart Rearview Mirror mode (cam-
era view mode) display is different from
the conventional rearview mirror. Ob-
jects in the display may differ from actual distance. Do not solely rely on
the Smart Rearview Mirror. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid acci-
dents.
. If the brightness of the camera view
display is adjusted to excessive bright
level, it may cause an eyestrain in the
driving. Adjust the brightness properly.
. Use the rear window wiper when it rains.
If the camera view image is still unclear
when the rear window wiper is in
operation, check the deterioration of
the rear window wiper blade.
. When using the rear window wiper,
images on the screen may flicker. This
is not a malfunction.
. Defog the rear window with defroster
when rear window is fogged. Use the
conventional rearview mirror mode until
the rear window is fully defogged.
. The display of the Smart Rearview
Mirror may become hot. This is not a
malfunction.
. The color of an object in the distance or
in the dark may be difficult to be
recognized. This is not a malfunction.
System maintenance (Smart Rearview
Mirror):
. Always keep the mirror and camera area
of the rear window clean.

LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the LDW system. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions for proper
use of the LDW system could result in
serious injury or death. .
The system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 37 MPH (60
km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
. Do not use the LDW system under
the following conditions as it may not
function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
— When driving on winding or un- even roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-stan-
dard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts. — When towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
. The system may not function prop-
erly under the following conditions:
— On roads where there are multi- ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-

construction zone directs traffic to
cross an existing lane marker. If this
occurs you may need to apply correc-
tive steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the LDP may not activate
under the road, weather, and lane
marker conditions described in this
section, it may not activate every
time your vehicle begins to leave its
lane and you will need to apply
corrective steering.
. The LDP system will not operate at
