How to change the set vehicle speed
To cancel the preset speed,use any of these
methods:
● Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
● Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed
indicator will go out.
● Turn the CRUISE ON/OFF switch off. The
ICC indicators will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
● Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch. The
set vehicle speed will increase by approxi-
mately 5 MPH (5 km/h for Canada) .
● Push, then quickly release the ACCEL/RES
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will increase by approximately 1 MPH
(1 km/h for Canada) . To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use one
of the following methods:
● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.
● Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. The
set vehicle speed will decrease by approxi-
mately 5 MPH (5 km/h for Canada) .
● Push, then quickly release the COAST/ SET
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by approximately 1 MPH
(1 km/h for Canada) .
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle will
resume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 20 MPH (32 km/h).
How to change the set distance to the
vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be se-
lected at any time depending on the traffic con-
ditions.
Each time the distance switch
Ais pushed, the
set distance will change to long, average, short
and back to long again in that sequence.

Distance Approximate distance at60 MPH (100 km/h) [ft (m)]
1. Long 180 (55)
2. Average 130 (40)
3. Short 80 (25)
● The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed. The
higher the vehicle speed, the longer the dis-
tance.
● If the engine is stopped, the set distance
becomes “long”. (Each time the engine is
started, the initial setting becomes “long”.)
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if
another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the
driver with the chime and ICC system display.
Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to
maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
● The chime sounds.
● The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks
in orange.
The warning chime may not sound in some cases
when there is a short distance between vehicles.
Some examples are: ● When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing
● When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when: ● The vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed, overrid-
ing the system. NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
ICC sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle
Aor on the side of the roadA.
This may cause the ICC system to deceler-
ate or accelerate the vehicle. The ICC sen-
sor may detect these objects when the ve-
hicle is driven on winding roads, narrow
roads, hilly roads, or when entering or exit-
ing a curve. In these cases you will have to
manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some
damage) .
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.● When the vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed of
15 MPH (24 km/h)
● When the system judges the vehicle is at
standstill
● When the shift selector is not in the D or
Manual mode
● When the parking brake is applied
● When the SNOW mode switch is turned
ON
● When the VDC system is turned off
● When ABS or VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
● When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted ●
When distance measurement becomes im-
paired due to adhesion of dirt or obstruction
to the sensor
● When a wheel slips
Warning light and display
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the Intelligent
Cruise Control system is automatically canceled.
The chime will sound and the system will not be
able to be set.
● When the VDC system is turned off
● When the VDC or ABS (including the trac-
tion control system) operates
● When a tire slips

If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the engine off. When the radar
signal is temporarily interrupted, clean the sensor
area of the front bumper and perform the settings
again
Condition C:
When the ICC system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the system warning light
(orange) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the engine,
resume driving and set the ICC system again.If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the
system is malfunctioning. Although the ve-
hicle is still driveable under normal condi-
tions, have the vehicle checked at an
INFINITI retailer.
Sensor maintenance
The sensor for the ICC systemAis located
behind the front bumper.
To keep the ICC system operating properly, be
sure to observe the following:
● Always keep the sensor area of the front
bumper clean.
● Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
● Do not cover or attach stickers or similar
objects on the front bumper near the sensor
area. This could cause failure or malfunction.

●Do not attach metallic objects near the sen-
sor area (brush guard, etc.) This could cause
failure or malfunction.
● Do not alter, remove, or paint the front bum-
per. Before customizing or restoring the
front bumper, please contact an INFINITI
retailer.
CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed between 25
to 90 MPH (40 to 144 km/h) without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
●In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime does
not sound to warn you if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead, as neither
the presence of the vehicle ahead nor
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is
detected.
● Pay special attention to the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.
● Always confirm the setting in the Intel-
ligent Cruise Control system display. ●
Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode when driv-
ing under the following conditions:
– when it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed
– in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
– on winding or hilly roads
– on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
– in very windy areas
● Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
