WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the PFCW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The PFCW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
●The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in
the roadway– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
●(Illustration A) The PFCW system does
not function when a vehicle ahead is a
narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
●The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Snow or heavy rain
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-
ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel
– (Illustration B) When the vehicle
ahead is being towed.
– (Illustration C) When the distance to
the vehicle ahead is too close, the
beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
– (Illustration D) When driving on a
steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.

●The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,
etc. In these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver properly. Be
sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area regularly.
●Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

The FEB system warning light (orange) will illu-
minate.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
PFCW system will resume automatically.
Condition B

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.

●Keep your engine tuned up.
●Follow the recommended scheduled main-
tenance.
●Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-
sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
●Keep all the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
●Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
For additional information, refer to “Engine
oil and oil filter recommendations” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual.If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent AWD
system while the engine is running, messages are
displayed in the meter.
If the AWD error warning message is displayed,
there may be a malfunction in the Intelligent AWD
system. Reduce vehicle speed and have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.

INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
(AWD) (if so equipped)
5-130Starting and driving

The AWD high temperature message may be
displayed while trying to free a stuck vehicle due
to increased oil temperature. The driving mode
may change to 2-wheel drive. If this message is
displayed, stop the vehicle with the engine idling,
as soon as it is safe to do so. Then if the message
turns off, you can continue driving.The tire size message may be displayed if there is
a large difference between the diameters of front
and rear wheels. Pull off the road in a safe area,
with the engine idling. Check that all tire sizes are
the same, that the tire pressure is correct and that
the tires are not excessively worn.
If any warning messages continue to be dis-
played, have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
WARNING
●Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires. Accelerating
quickly, sharp steering maneuvers or
sudden braking may cause loss of con-
trol, even with Intelligent AWD
engaged.
●For AWD equipped vehicles, do not at-
tempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with the
engine running. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in
serious personal injury or vehicle
damage.

●Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dyna-
mometer (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions test-
ing) or similar equipment even if the
other two wheels are raised off the
ground. Make sure that you inform the
test facility personnel that your vehicle
is equipped with AWD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in
serious personal injury or vehicle
damage.
CAUTION
●Do not operate the engine on a free
roller when any of the wheels are
raised.
●If you use the free roller, rotate four
wheels with the same speed without
raising any wheels.●If an AWD warning message is dis-
played while driving there may be a
malfunction in the AWD system. Reduce
the vehicle speed immediately and have
your vehicle checked as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
●The powertrain may be damaged if you
continue driving when the AWD tem-
perature or tire size incorrect messages
are displayed
●If the AWD high temperature message
is displayed while you are driving, pull
off the road in a safe area, and idle the
engine. The driving mode will change to
2WD to prevent the AWD system from
malfunctioning. If the warning message
turns off, you can drive again.
●If the tire size incorrect message is dis-
played while you are driving, pull off the
road in a safe area with the engine
idling. Check that all tire sizes are the
same, that the tire pressure is correct
and that the tires are not excessively
worn.●If a warning message continues to be
displayed after the above operations,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
