High beam assist (if so equipped)
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.
Example
High beam assist operations:
To activate the high beam assist system, turn the headlight switch to the AUTO
position or position (for Canada) and push the lever forward 
(high beam posi-tion). The high beam assist indicator 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. It is recommended you have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 17 MPH (27 km/h), the head light remains the low beam.
To turn off the high beam assist system, turn the headlight switch to the position or select the low beam position by placing the lever in the neutral position.
Ambient image sensor maintenance:
The ambient image sensor for the high beam assist system is located in front of the inside mirror. To keep the proper operation of the high beam assist system and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to observe the following:
- Always keep the windshield clean.
- Do not attach a sticker (including trans-parent 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 you contact an INFINITI retailer.
Battery saver system
A chime will sound and the light reminder warning will appear in the vehicle informa-tion display when the driver side door is opened with the headlight switch in the or position and the ignition switch in the ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
When the headlight switch is in the or position while the ignition switch is in the ON position, the lights will automatically turn off after a period of time when the ignition switch has been pushed to the OFF position.
When the headlight switch remains in the or position after the lights auto-matically 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 auto-matically turn off, the lights will not turn off automatically. Be sure to turn the headlight switch to the OFF position (if so equipped) or AUTO position when you leave the vehicle for extended periods of time, other-wise the battery will be discharged.
- Never leave the headlight switch on when the engine is not running for a period of time even if the headlights turn off automatically.
