Lighting

1 Turn the switch to the position: The front parking, side marker, tail, license plate and instrument lights will come on.
2 Turn the switch to the position: Headlights will come on and all the other lights remain on.

Autolight system

The autolight system allows the headlights to be set so they turn on and off automatically. To set the autolight system: 1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the AUTO position 1 . 2. Push the ignition switch to the ON position. 3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off. To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch to the OFF, position. The autolight system can turn on the headlights automatically when it is dark and turn off the headlights when it is light. For US models: The headlights will also be turned on automatically at twilight or in rainy weather (when the windshield wiper is operated continuously). If the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position and one of the doors is opened and this condition is continued, the headlights remain on for 5 minutes. Automatic headlights off delay: You can keep the headlights on for up to 180 seconds after you push the ignition switch to OFF and open any door then close all the doors. You can adjust the period of the automatic headlights off delay from 0 seconds (OFF) to 180 seconds. The factory default setting is 45 seconds. For automatic headlights off delay setting, see “Comfort settings” in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems” section.

Be sure not to put anything on top of the photo sensorA located on the top of the instrument panel. The photo sensor controls the autolight; if it is covered, the photo sensor reacts as if it is dark and the headlights will illuminate.

Headlight beam select 1 To select the low beam, put the lever in the neutral position as shown. 2 To select the high beam, push the lever forward while the switch is in the position. Pull it back to select the low beam. 3 Pulling the lever toward you will flash the headlight high beam even when the headlight switch is in the OFF position. Battery saver system A chime will sound when the driver side door is opened with the light switch in the position and the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position. When the headlight switch is in the position while the ignition switch is in the ON position, the lights will automatically turn off 5 minutes after the ignition switch has been pushed to the OFF position. When the headlight switch remains in the position after the lights automatically turn off, the lights will turn on when the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position.

CAUTION
► When you turn on the headlight switch again after the lights automatically turn off, the lights will not turn off automatically. Be sure to turn the light switch to the OFF position when you leave the vehicle for extended periods of time, otherwise the battery will be discharged.
► Never leave the light switch on when the engine is not running for extended periods of time even if the headlights turn off automatically.

Headlight aiming control (if so equipped)

Depending on the number of occupants in the vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead or the windshield of the oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be lowered with the operation of the switch. The larger the number designated on the switch, the lower the axis. When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat road, select position 0.

WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright compared to conventional headlights. If the xenon headlights hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead or the windshield of oncoming vehicle, the driver of these vehicles may have difficulty driving because of the brightness. Use the headlight aiming control switch to lower the light axis. See “Xenon headlights” earlier in this section for additional information.

Daytime running light system (Canada only)

The daytime running lights automatically illuminate when the engine is started with the parking brake released. The daytime running lights operate with the headlight switch in the OFF position or in the position. Turn the headlight switch to the position for full illumination when driving at night. If the parking brake is applied before the engine is started, the daytime running lights do not illuminate. The daytime running lights illuminate once the parking brake is released. The daytime running lights will remain on until the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position.

WARNING
When the daytime running light system is active, tail lights on your vehicle are not on. It is necessary at dusk to turn on your headlights. Failure to do so could cause an accident injuring yourself and others.

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 headlight switch is ON and the driver operates the steering wheel in a turn, the AFS system will be activated. The AFS will operate:
► Right-side headlight
— When the headlight switch is ON
— When the selector lever is in any position other than P (Park) or R (Reverse)
— When the steering wheel is turned clockwise

► Left-side headlight
— When the headlight switch is ON
— When the selector lever is in any position other than P (Park) or R (Reverse)
— When the vehicle is driven at a speed above 16 MPH (25km/h). However, when the vehicle’s speed decreases below 3 MPH (5 km/h) it will stop. — When the steering wheel is turned counterclockwise

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 OFF indicator light blinks 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 by an INFINITI retailer. When the engine is started, the headlights will vibrate to check the system condition. This is not a malfunction.
