PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
1. ACCEL/RES switch
2. COAST/SET switch
3. CANCEL switch
4. ON/OFF switch
●If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
will cancel automatically. The SET indicator
in the vehicle information display will blink to
warn the driver.●If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will be canceled automatically.
●If the SET indicator blinks, turn the cruise
control main switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
●The SET indicator may sometimes blink
when the cruise control main switch is
turned on while pushing the ACCEL/RES,
COAST/SET or CANCEL switch. To prop-
erly set the cruise control system, perform
the steps below.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
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.

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, middle, short
and back to long again, in that sequence.
Distance Approximate distance at
60 mph (100 km/h) [ft (m)]
1. Long 180 (55)
2. Middle 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.
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.

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 engine off.
Check to see if the radar sensor window is
blocked. If the radar sensor window is blocked,
remove the blocking material. Restart the engine.
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 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 drivable under normal condi-
tions, have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.

5-88Starting and driving
To cancel the preset speed,use any of the
following three methods:
1. Press the CANCEL button. The SET indica-
tor will go out.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The SET indicator will
go out.
3. Turn the CRUISE ON/OFF switch off. Both
the CRUISE indicator and SET indicator will
go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed,use one of
the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
2. Push and hold the ACCEL/RES set switch.
When the vehicle attains the speed you de-
sire, release the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the ACCEL/ RES
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will increase by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed,use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.2. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Re-
lease the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.
3. Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
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 25 mph (40 km/h).
Automatic cancellation
Under the following condition, a chime will sound
and the system control is automatically canceled.
●When the vehicle speed falls below approxi-
mately 20 mph (32 km/h)
●When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) or
Manual mode
●When the parking brake is applied
●When the VDC (including the TCS) oper-
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 engine off, restart the engine,
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
driveable under normal conditions, have the
vehicle checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

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 engine off, restart the engine
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.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
DCA SYSTEM
To turn on the DCA system, push the dynamic
driver assistance switch
1on the steering wheel
after starting the engine. The DCA system switch
indicator light
2in the vehicle information dis-
play will illuminate. Push the dynamic driver as-
sistance switch again to turn off the DCA system.
The DCA system switch indicator light will turn
off.
The system will start to operate after the vehicle
speed becomes above approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h).
The dynamic driver assistance switch is used for
the LDP, DCA and BCI systems. When the dy-
namic driver assistance switch is pushed, the
LDP system will also turn on or off simultaneously.
The DCA system can be individually set to on or
off on the display. If the system is set to off, the
