2017 INFINITI QX30 light

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 distance warning
light. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal
to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
•The chime sounds.
•The distance warning light is illuminated.
The warning chime may not sound and the
distance warning light may not illuminate 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. In this case, the distance
warning light will be on.
•When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is increas-
ing.
•When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
•The warning chime will not sound and the
distance warning light will not illuminate
when: – The vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly. – The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condi-
tion (for example, if a vehicle is being driven
with some damage).
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds and the message [ICC off] is
displayed in the vehicle information display for
5 seconds under the following conditions and
the control is automatically canceled.
•The electric parking brake is applied.
•The VDC intervenes or the VDC is deacti-
vated.
•The P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral)
position is engaged.
•The cruise control lever is pulled in order to
pull away but the front passenger door or
one of the rear doors is open.
•The vehicle is skidding or a wheel slips.
•Active Park Assist is activated.
ICC LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the
ICC system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
•This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
•The system is primarily intended for use on
straight, dry, open roads with light traffic. It
is not advisable to use the system in city
traffic or congested areas.
•This system will not adapt automatically to
road conditions. This system should be
used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp curves, or on icy
roads, in heavy rain or in fog.
•As there is a performance limit to the dis-
tance control function, never rely solely on
the ICC system. This system does not cor-
rect careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain,
fog, or other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the brake

Crossing vehicles
The ICC system may detect vehicles that are
crossing your lane by mistake. Activating the
ICC system at traffic lights with crossing traffic,
for example, could cause your vehicle to pull
away unintentionally.

The FEB system consists of a distance warning
function with an autonomous emergency brak-
ing function and adaptive brake assist function.
The FEB system can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
reduce the effects of such a collision
If the FEB system detects that there is a risk of
a collision, you will be warned visually and
audibly. If you do not react to the visual and
audible collision warning, autonomous braking
can be initiated in critical situations. If you
apply the brake yourself in a critical situation,
the adaptive brake assist function assists you.
Distance warning function
The distance warning function can help you to
minimize the risk of a collision with the vehicle
in front or reduce the effects of such a collision.
If the distance warning function detects that
there is a risk of a collision, you will be warned
visually and audibly.
The distance warning function issues a warning
at speeds:
•Of approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h) or more,
if, over several seconds the distance main-
tained to the vehicle traveling in front is
insufficient. The distance warning light then
lights up in the combination meter.
•Of approximately 4 MPH (7 km/h) or more, if
you rapidly approach a vehicle in front. An
intermittent warning tone will then sound
and the distance warning light will light up in
the combination meter.
If a warning is issued:
•Brake immediately in order to increase the
distance from the vehicle in front.
or
•Take evasive action provided it is safe to do
so.
WARNING
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving conditions
may also cause the system to display a
warning.
Up to a speed of approximately 45 MPH (70
km/h), the distance warning function can also
react to stationary (stopped or parked) vehicles.
If you approach a stationary vehicle and the
distance warning function detects a risk of a
collision, the system will alert you both visually
and acoustically.

5-62Starting and driving

•In front of driveways or entrances and exits.
•Unsuitable surfaces.
Parking tips:
•On narrow roads, drive as closely as possible
past the parking space.
•Parking spaces that are littered or overgrown
might be identified or measured incorrectly.
•Parking spaces that are partly occupied by
trailer towing bars might not be identified as
such or be measured incorrectly.
•Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately.
•Pay attention to the parking sensor system
warning messages during the parking proce-
dure.
•You can intervene in the steering procedure
to correct it at any time. IPA will then be
canceled.
•When transporting a load which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use IPA.
•Never use IPA when snow chains are fitted.
•Make sure that the tire pressures are always
correct. This has a direct influence on the
parking characteristics of the vehicle. Use IPA for parking spaces that are:
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel.
•On straight roads, not bends.
•On the same level as the road, e. g. not on
the sidewalk.
For vehicles with the towbar folded out, the
minimum length for parking spaces is slightly
longer.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle,
you may not use IPA. Once the electrical con-
nection is established between your vehicle and
the trailer, IPA is no longer available. The
parking sensor system is deactivated for the
rear area
DETECTING PARKING SPACES
The IPA system can only be used to park in
spaces that have vehicles directly on either side
of the parking space.
Objects located above the height range of IPA
will not be detected when the parking space is
measured. These are not taken into account
when the parking procedure is calculated, e. g.
overhanging loads, tail sections or loading
ramps of goods vehicles.
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection range,
IPA may steer too early. This could cause a
collision. There is a risk of an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and switch off the IPA.
For further information on the detection range
see Range of the sensors later in this section.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces at
right angles to the direction of travel if:
•Two parking spaces are located directly next
to one another.
•The parking space is directly next to a low
obstacle such as a low curb.
•You forward park.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces that
are parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel if:
•The parking space is on a curb.
•The system reads the parking space as being
blocked, for example, by foliage or grass
paving blocks.
•The area is too small for the vehicle to
maneuver into.

merge into traffic on your own. The parking
sensor system is still available. You can take
over the steering before the vehicle has exited
the parking space completely. This is useful, for
example when you recognise that it is already
possible to pull out of the parking space.
CANCELING IPA
Stop the movement of the steering wheel or
steer yourself. IPA will be immediately can-
celed. The [Park Assist canceled] message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display.
or
Press the parking sensor system OFF switch.
The parking sensor system is switched off and
IPA is immediately canceled The [Park Assist
canceled] message appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.IPA is canceled automatically if:
•The electric parking brake is applied
•Parking using IPA is no longer possible
•You are driving faster than 5 MPH (10 km/h)
•A wheel spins and VDC intervenes or fails.
Thewarning light lights up in the
combination meter.
A warning tone sounds. The parking symbol
disappears and the vehicle information display
shows the [Park Assist canceled] message.
When IPA is canceled, you must steer again
yourself.
WARNING
•The parking sensor system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper parking.
Always look around and check that it is safe
to do so before parking. Always move
slowly.
•Read and understand the limitations of the
parking sensor system as contained in this
section. Inclement weather may affect the
function of the parking sensor system; this
may include reduced performance or a false
activation.
•This system is not designed to prevent con-
tact with small or moving objects.
•The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary objects
to help avoid damaging the vehicle. The
system will not detect small objects below
the bumper, and may not detect objects that
are too close to the bumper or on the
ground.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the bum-
per fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the
sensing zone may be altered causing inac-
curate measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Starting and driving5-73

•Shift to position D (Drive), or R (Reverse) on
vehicles with automatic transmission
•Release the electric parking brake
The parking sensor system is deactivated at
speeds above 10 MPH (16 km/h). It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
The parking sensor system is deactivated for
the rear area when you establish an electrical
connection between your vehicle and a trailer.
RANGE OF THE SENSORS
The parking sensor system does not take into
account obstacles located:
•Below the detection range, e.g. persons,
animals or objects.
•Above the detection range, e.g. overhanging
loads, tail sections or loading ramps of
goods vehicles.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush.
Otherwise, they may not function correctly.
Clean the sensors regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them.
PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM OFF
SWITCH
The parking sensor system OFF switch2on
the lower side of the instrument panel allows
the driver to turn the parking sensor system on
and off. To turn the parking sensor system on
and off, the ignition switch must be in the ON
position. The indicator light
1on the switch
will illuminate when the system is turned off.
The parking sensor system will turn on auto-
matically when the ignition switch is turned
from the OFF position to the ON position.

PROBLEMS WITH PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM
ProblemPossible causes/consequences and solutions
Only the red segments in the
Parking Sensor System displays are
lit. You also hear a warning tone for
approximately two seconds.
The Parking Sensor System is then
deactivated and the indicator light
on the Parking Sensor System
button lights up. The Parking Sensor System has malfunctioned and has been
deactivated.
If problems persist, have the Parking Sensor System checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Only the red segments in the
parking sensor displays are lit. The
Parking Sensor System is then
deactivated. The parking sensors are dirty or there is interference.
•Clean the sensors.•Switch the ignition back on.
The problem may be caused by an external source of radio or ultrasound
waves.
See if the Parking Sensor System functions in a different location.
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), follow
these recommendations to obtain maximum
engine performance and ensure the future reli-
ability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure
to follow these recommendations may result in
shortened engine life and reduced engine per-
formance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow, and do not run the
engine over 4,000 RPM.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 mi (805
km). Your engine, axle or other parts could
be damaged.
You should also observe these notes on
break-in if the engine or parts of the drive train
on your vehicle have been replaced.
CAUTION
In certain driving and driving safety systems,
the sensors adjust automatically while a cer-
tain distance is being driven after the vehicle
has been delivered or after repairs. Full system
effectiveness is not reached until the end of
this teach-in process.
