DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
OutlineINFOID:0000000003533775
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle
ahead according to that vehicle's speed, or at the set speed, if the road ahead is clear.
The ICC function has two cruise control modes and brake assist (with preview function). The ICC system may
AUTO-CANCEL for various reasons, for example, when the windshield wipers are operating.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the same speed as other vehicles, can be maintained without the
constant need to adjust the operating speed as with a conventional cruise control system.
The system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following another vehicle in the same
lane and direction.
If the distance sensor detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce speed so that the vehicle
ahead can be followed at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approximately 120 m (390 ft) ahead.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is cruising at preset speeds.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operation instructions.
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION)
When the force applied to brake pedal exceeds a certain level, the brake assist is activated and generates a
greater braking force than that of a conventional brake booster, even with light pedal force.
When the preview function identifies the need to apply the sudden brake by sensing the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before driver
depresses the brake pedal and improves brake response by reducing its free play.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003533859
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owner can perform these
checks and inspections or have their INFINITI dealers perform them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.
ItemReference page
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge at least once a month and always prior to a
long distance trip. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear.—
Wheel lug nutsWhen checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose
nuts. Tighten if necessary.WT-7, "

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE
ROOM)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003533835
• IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It controls integrated relays via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuits.
• IPDM E/R-integrated control circuits perform ON-OFF operation of relays, CAN communication control, etc.
• It controls operation of each electrical component via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R integrated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
1. Lamp control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the following lamps:
• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
• Parking lamps
• Tail and license lamps
• Front fog lamps
2. Wiper control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the front wipers.
3. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the rear window defogger
relay.
4. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the A/C compressor
(magnetic clutch).
5. Starter control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the starter relay.
6. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the cooling fan relays.
7. Horn control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the horn relay.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control unit using two communication lines (CAN L-line, CAN
H-line), it is possible to transmit a maximum amount of information with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
1. Fail-safe control
• When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control.
After CAN communication returns to normal operation, it also returns to normal control.
• Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamp• With the ignition switch ON, the headlamp (low) is ON.
• With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp (low) is OFF.
Tail and parking lamps• With the ignition switch ON, the tail and parking lamps are ON.
• With the ignition switch OFF, the tail and parking lamps are OFF.
Cooling fan• With the ignition switch ON, the cooling fan HI operates.
• With the ignition switch OFF, the cooling fan stops.
Front wiperUntil the ignition switch is turned off, the front wiper LO and HI remains in the same status it
was in just before fail−safe control was initiated.
Rear window defogger Rear window defogger relay OFF
A/C compressor A/C compressor OFF
Front fog lamps Front fog lamp relay OFF

ACTIVE TEST
Auto Active TestINFOID:0000000003533839
DESCRIPTION
• In auto active test mode, operation inspection can be performed when IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the
following systems:
- Rear window defogger
- Front wipers
- Tail and parking lamps
- Front fog lamps
- Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
- A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
- Cooling fan
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door RH, and lift wiper arms away from windshield (to prevent glass damage by
wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn ignition
switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON within 10 seconds after ignition switch OFF.
5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once.
6. After a series of operations is repeated three times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway, turn ignition switch OFF.

CAUTION:
Be sure to perform BL-25, "
Door Switch Check" when the auto active test cannot be performed.
INSPECTION IN AUTO ACTIVE TEST MODE
• When auto active test mode is actuated, the following seven steps are repeated three times.
Concept of Auto Active Test
• IPDM E/R actuates auto active test mode when it receives door switch signal from BCM via CAN communi-
cation line. Therefore, when auto active test mode is activated successfully, CAN communication between
IPDM E/R and BCM is normal.
• If any of the systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated, possible cause can be easily diagnosed
using auto active test.
