High Beam Assist (if so equipped)
High Beam Assist
The High Beam Assist system will operate when the vehicle is driven at speeds of ap-proximately 25 mph (40 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 automatically.
WARNING
- The Hight Beam Assist system is a convenience but it is not a sibstitute for safe driving operation. The driver should remain alert at all times. ensure safe driving practices and swith the high beam and low beam manually when necessary.
- The high beam or low beam may not switch automatically under the following 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 oncom ing 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, continuous 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 surface 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 oncoming 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.
High Beam Assist operation
To activate the High Beam Assist system, turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position and push the switch as illustrated with the engine running. 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. Have the system checked, it is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 16 mph (25 km/h), the head-light uses the low beam.
To turn off the High Beam Assist system, push the switch again.
Ambient image sensor maintenance
The ambient image sensor OA for the High Beam Assist system is located in front of the inside mirror. To maintain 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 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 or position, the headlights will turn off after a period of time.
NOTE:
The Battery Saver system may be dis-abled. For additional information, see “Vehicle information display-7 inch (18 cm) Type A” (P. 2-22) or “Vehicle information display-12.3 inch (31 cm) Type B” (P. 2-45).
CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature automatically turns off the headlights after a period of time, you should turn the headlight switch to the OFF posi-tion 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 improve the driver’s view. When the head-light 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 vehicle is driven at above 16 mph (25 km/h) for the left-side headlight. Note that the right-side low beam head-light 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 vehicle 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 hasbeen pushed to the ON position, this may indicate that the AFS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. When the engine is started, the headlights will vibrate to check the system condition. 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.
