The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot detect the signals:● When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is
covered with dirt, snow and road spray
● When dense exhaust or other smoke (black
smoke) from vehicles reduces the sensor’s
detection
● When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the luggage room of your
vehicle
The DCA system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation. When the front
bumper area around the distance sensor is cov-
ered with dirt or is obstructed, the system will
automatically cancel. If the front bumper area of
the distance sensor is covered with ice, a trans-
parent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the DCA
system may not detect them. In these instances,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode 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 front
bumper area around the distance sensor regu-
larly.
The DCA system is designed to help assist the
driver to maintain a following distance from the
vehicle ahead. The system will decelerate as nec-
essary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. However,
the DCA system can only apply up to 40% of the
vehicle’s total braking power. If a vehicle moves
into the traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle travel-
ing ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-
tween vehicles may become closer because the
DCA system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the DCA system
will sound a warning chime and blink the system
display to notify the driver to take necessary
action.
For additional information, refer to “Approach
warning” in this section.
This system only brakes and moves the accelera-
tor pedal upward to help assist the driver to
maintain a following distance from the vehicle
ahead. Acceleration should be operated by the
driver.
The DCA system does not control vehicle speed
or warn you when you approach stationary and
slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper distance
from vehicles ahead.
Starting and driving5-101
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when ICC
sensor detects vehicles in other lanes
Aor
objects on the side of the road
A. This may
cause the DCA system to operate inappro-
priately. The ICC sensor may detect these
objects when the vehicle is driven on wind-
ing roads, narrow roads, hilly roads or when
entering or exiting 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) .
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Under the following conditions, the DCA system
will not operate and the DCA cancellation mes-
sage will pop up:
● When SNOW mode is selected by using the
INFINITI drive mode selector (To use the
DCA system, turn off the SNOW mode, then
turn on the dynamic driver assistance
switch.)
For additional information about SNOW
mode, refer to “Snow mode” in this section.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the FEB system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The FEB system is a supplemental aid
to the driver. It is not a replacement for
the driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely. It
cannot prevent accidents due to care-
lessness or dangerous driving
techniques.
● The FEB system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The FEB system can assist the driver when there
is a risk of a forward collision with the vehicle
ahead in the traveling lane. The FEB system uses a radar sensor
Alocated
behind the lower grille of the front bumper to
measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the
same lane.

Starting and driving5-107
●The PFEB system does not function in
all driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The PFEB system can assist the driver when
there is a risk of a forward collision with the
vehicle ahead or pedestrian in the travelling lane.
The PFEB system detects a vehicle ahead and
pedestrian using a multi-sensing front camera
1
located on the upper side of the windshield.
