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.●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.
SSD0338
Starting and driving5-93

– 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 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.

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.The DCA system brakes and moves the accelera-
tor pedal upward according to the distance from
and the relative speed of the vehicle ahead to
help assist the driver to maintain a following dis-
tance.
DCA SYSTEM OPERATION
Always pay attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle and be ready to manually decelerate to
maintain the proper following distance. The DCA
system may not be able to decelerate the vehicle
under some circumstances.
The DCA system uses a sensor
Alocated be-
hind the front bumper of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead. The sensor generally
detects the signals returned from the vehicle
ahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannot detect the
reflection from the vehicle ahead, the DCA sys-
tem may not operate.
LSD2098
DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST (DCA)
(if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-95

The system is intended to assist the driver to
keep a following distance from the vehicle ahead
traveling in the same lane and direction.
The distance sensor is located behind the front
bumper
A. If the distance sensorAdetects a
slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed to help assist the driver
to maintain a following distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle
and applies the brakes (up to 40% of vehicle
braking power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 490 ft (150 m) ahead.
The distance sensor will not detect the following
objects.
●Stationary and slow moving vehicles
●Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
●Oncoming vehicles in the same laneThe 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.
DCA Indicators
LSD2068LIC2889
5-96Starting and driving

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.
When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
WARNING
●When the vehicle ahead detection indi-
cator light is not illuminated, the system
will not control or warn the driver.
●Depending on the position of the accel-
erator pedal, the system may not be
able to assist the driver to release the
accelerator pedal appropriately.
●If the vehicle ahead comes to a stand-
still, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still within the limitations of the system.
The system will release brake control
with a warning chime once it judges the
vehicle is at a standstill. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal. (The system
will resume control automatically once
the system reaches 3 mph (5 km/h)) .Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operations override the
system operation.
●When the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal even further while the system is mov-
ing the accelerator pedal upward, the DCA
system control of the accelerator pedal is
canceled.
●When the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the brake control by the system is not
operated.
●When the driver’s foot is on the brake pedal,
neither the brake control nor the alert by the
system operates.
●When the ICC system is set, the DCA sys-
tem will be cancelled.
