ICC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The ICC system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use the
ICC system in city traffic or congested
areas. ●
The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog. ●
As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, depend-
ing on the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circumstances in
order to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
● Always pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle and be ready to manually
control the proper following distance.
The ICC system may not be able to
maintain the selected distance between
vehicles (following distance) or se-
lected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.

Action to take
When the conditions listed above are no longer
present, turn the system off using the ICC
CRUISE ON/OFF switch. Turn the ICC system
back on to use the system.
Condition B
When the radar sensor area of the front bumper
is covered with dirt or is obstructed, the ICC
system will automatically be cancelled. If the sen-
sor area is covered with ice, a transparent or
translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC system may
not detect vehicles ahead. In these instances, the
ICC system may not cancel and may not be able
to maintain the selected following distance from
the vehicle ahead. Be sure to check and clean the
sensor area.
The system warning light (orange) will illuminate
and the “front radar obstruction” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle information dis-
play.Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe location and turn the hybrid
system off. Check to see if the radar sensor
window is blocked. If the radar sensor window is
blocked, remove the blocking material. Restart
the hybrid system. If the warning light continues
to illuminate, have the ICC system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
Condition C
When the ICC system is not operating properly, a
chime sounds and the system warning light (or-
ange) will come on.Action to take
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place. Turn the hybrid system off, restart the
hybrid system, 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 drivable under normal condi-
tions, have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.

ates
● When a wheel slips
Warning light
When the system is not operating properly, the
chime sounds and the system warning light (or-
ange) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place. Turn the hybrid system off, restart the
hybrid system, resume driving and then perform
the setting again. If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system is
malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, have the
vehicle checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
PREVIEW FUNCTION
When the Preview Function identifies the need to
apply emergency braking by sensing a vehicle
ahead in the same lane and the distance and
relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-
pressure before the driver depresses the brake
pedal and helps improve brake response by re-
ducing pedal free play.
● This system will not operate when the ve-
hicle is moving at approximately 20 mph
(32 km/h) or less.
● The pre-pressure function ceases when the
following conditions are met:
1. When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
2. If the driver does not operate the accelerator or brake pedal within approximately 1 sec-
ond.
LSD2067
Starting and driving5-93

●The sensor will not detect:
1. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
2. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
3. Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane as illustrated
WARNING
●This system is only an aid to assist brak-
ing operation and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at
all times. ●
As there is a performance limit to the
Preview Function, never rely solely on
this system. This system does not cor-
rect careless inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome poor vis-
ibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather.
Reduce vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, in order to maintain a safe
distance between vehicles.
● The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. The Preview Function may
not operate properly under the follow-
ing conditions. The vehicle is still drive-
able under normal conditions and the
Brake Assist will operate.
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
– When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining
on the front of the vehicle
– Winding or hilly roads may cause the sensor to temporarily not detect a
vehicle in the same lane or may de-
tect objects or vehicles in other
lanes. – Vehicle position in the lane may
cause the sensor to temporarily not
detect a vehicle in the same lane or
may detect objects or vehicles in
other lanes.

Warning light and display
When the Preview Function is not operating
properly, the chime sounds and the system warn-
ing light (orange) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place. Turn the hybrid system off, restart the
hybrid system and resume driving.If the indicator stays on, it may indicate that
the Preview Function is malfunctioning
(the brake is operative) . Although the ve-
hicle is still driveable under normal condi-
tions, have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
How to handle the sensor
The sensor for the Preview Function is common
with the ICC and is located below the front
bumper.
To keep the Preview Function operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
● Always keep the area around the sensor
clean.
● Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
● Do not touch or remove the screw located
on the sensor. Doing so could cause failure
or malfunction. If the sensor is damaged due
to an accident, it is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer.
● Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
sensor. This could cause failure or malfunc-
tion.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the DCA system
could result in serious injury or death.
●DCA helps maintain a distance to the
vehicle in front under certain condi-
tions. It is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem. Failure to apply the brakes could
result in an accident.
● Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the DCA system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the DCA system.
Do not use the DCA system except in
appropriate road and traffic conditions.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill with
a warning chime. To prevent the vehicle
from moving, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.
● The DCA system will not apply brake
control while the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal.
LSD2067
DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST (DCA)
(if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-95

The display is located between the speedometer
and tachometer.1. DCA system switch indicator: Indicates that the dynamic driver assistance
switch is on. 2. Vehicle ahead detection indicator:
Indicates whether it detects a vehicle in front
of you.
WARNING
The DCA system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle to help assist the driver
to maintain a following distance from the
vehicle ahead. Manually brake when de-
celeration is required to maintain a safe
distance upon sudden braking by the ve-
hicle ahead or when a vehicle suddenly
appears in front of you. Always stay alert
when using the DCA system. The DCA system helps assist the driver to keep a
following distance to the vehicle ahead by brak-
ing and moving the accelerator pedal upward in
the normal driving condition.
When a vehicle is detected ahead:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator comes on.
When vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead:
● If the driver’s foot is not on the accelerator
pedal, the system activates the brakes to
decelerate smoothly as necessary. If the ve-
hicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill within the limita-
tions of the system.
● If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal,
the system moves the accelerator pedal up-
ward to assist the driver to release the ac-
celerator pedal.
When brake operation by driver is required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning chime
and blinking the vehicle ahead detection indica-
tor. If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal
after the warning, the system moves the accel-
erator pedal upward to assist the driver to switch
to the brake pedal.
The stoplights of the vehicle come on when
braking is performed by the DCA system.
