SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The multi-sensing front camera unit1for the
PFEB system is located on the upper side of the
windshield. To maintain the proper operation of
the PFEB system and prevent a system malfunc-
tion, be sure to observe the following:
●Always keep the windshield clean.
●Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
multi-sensing front camera unit.●Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the multi-sensing front camera
unit’s detection capability.
●Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the PFCW system
could result in serious injury or death.

driver before a collision occurs but will
not avoid a collision. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver when
there is a sudden braking of a second vehicle
traveling in front of the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.
