2017 INFINITI QX30 tow

RADAR MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensor unitsAfor the BSW
system are located near the rear bumper. Al-
ways keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water,
mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors. Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended you consult
an INFINITI retailer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.

Cruise control maintains a constant road speed
for you. It brakes automatically in order to avoid
exceeding the set speed. You must select a
lower gear in good time on long and steep
downhill gradients, especially if the vehicle is
laden or towing a trailer.WARNING
For vehicles with automatic transmission, you
need to have selected manual drive program M
(see
Manual drive program earlier in this sec-
tion). By doing so, you will make use of the
braking effect of the engine. This relieves the
load on the brake system and prevents the
brakes from overheating and wearing too
quickly.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic con-
ditions are appropriate for maintaining a steady
speed for a prolonged period. You can set the
cruise control at any road speed above 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
The speed indicated in the speedometer may
differ slightly from the set speed.

CRUISE CONTROL
5-44Starting and driving

Storing the current speed or calling up the last
stored speed:
WARNING
If you call up a stored speed and this is differ-
ent from the current speed, the vehicle accel-
erates or brakes. If you do not know what the
stored speed is, the vehicle may accelerate or
brake unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Take the traffic conditions into account before
calling up the stored speed. If you do not know
what the stored speed is, store the desired
speed again.
1. Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards you
2.
2. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. The first time cruise control is acti-
vated, it stores the current speed or if a
speed has previously been stored, it regu-
lates the speed of the vehicle to the previ-
ously stored speed.
Setting a speed
Bear in mind that it may take a brief moment
until the vehicle has accelerated or braked to
the set speed.
1. Press the cruise control lever up
1for a
higher speed or down
3for a lower speed.
2. Keep the cruise control lever pressed until the desired speed is reached.
3. Release the cruise control lever, The new speed is stored.
4. To adjust the set speed in 1 MPH (1 km/h) increments: briefly press the cruise control
lever up
1or down3to the pressure
point. The last stored speed increases or
decreases in 1 MPH (1 km/h) increments.
5. To adjust the set speed in 10 MPH (10 km/h) increments: briefly press the cruise control
lever up
1or down3beyond the pressure
point. The last stored speed increases or
decreases in 10 MPH (10 km/h) increments.
NOTE
Cruise control is not deactivated if you depress
the accelerator pedal. For example, if you accel-
erate briefly to overtake, cruise control adjusts
the vehicle’s speed to the last speed stored after
you have finished overtaking.
Deactivating cruise control
There are several ways to deactivate cruise
control:
•Briefly press the cruise control lever forward
4.
or
•Brake.
Cruise control is automatically deactivated if:
•The vehicle is secured with the electric park-
ing brake.
•You are driving at less than 20 MPH (30
km/h).
•VDC intervenes or you deactivate VDC.
If cruise control is deactivated, you will hear a
warning tone. You will see the [Cruise Control
Off] message in the vehicle information display
for approximately five seconds.
NOTE
The last speed stored is cleared when you switch
off the engine.

How to change the set vehicle speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of these
methods:
•Tap the brake pedal when the vehicle is
moving.
•Quickly push the cruise control lever in the
direction of arrow
5.
The message [ICC OFF] appears in the vehicle
information display for 5 seconds.
To reset at a higher cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, quickly
pull the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever up1beyond
the pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
increase by approximately 10 MPH (10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever up (1) at the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
increase by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To reset at a lower cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle
attains the desired speed, quickly pull the
cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever down4beyond
the pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
decrease by approximately 10 MPH (10 km/
h).
•Pull the cruise control lever down4to the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, quickly pull the
cruise control lever towards you
4. The vehicle
will resume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 20 MPH (30 km/h).
NOTE
If you do not fully release the accelerator pedal,
the [ICC Deactivated Automatically] message
appears in the vehicle information display. The
set distance to a slower-moving vehicle in front will then not be maintained. You will be driving
at the speed you determine by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
You can also activate ICC when stationary. The
lowest speed that can be set is 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
Stopping
WARNING
•To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, do not leave children, people
who require the assistance of others, or
pets unattended in your vehicle.
•The ICC system should only be used to keep
the vehicle stationary when the driver is
actively using the system. When parking
the vehicle, make sure to turn OFF the ICC
system, use the brake, press the PARK (P)
button, and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK position prior to exiting the vehicle.
Failure to do so could lead to serious injury
or death. The ICC system will not hold the
vehicle in place after coming to a stop when
any of the following conditions occur:
– There is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.
NSD582A
5-52Starting and driving

–The ICC system has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e. g. by a
vehicle occupant.
– The accelerator pedal has been de-
pressed, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
For further information on deactivating the ICC
system, see ICC switch (cruise control lever)
earlier in this section
If the ICC system detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it
is stationary (within the braking limitations of
the system).
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress the
brake.
NOTE
•After a short period, the vehicle is secured by
the electric parking brake, thus relieving the
service brake.
•Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever. The electric parking brake secures the vehicle
automatically if the ICC system is activated
when the vehicle is stationary and:
•A system fault occurs.
•The power supply is insufficient.
If a malfunction in the electric parking brake
occurs, then the transmission may also be
shifted into position P (Park) automatically.
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
conditions.
To increase the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the rear2. To de-
crease the distance to the vehicle ahead, turn
the knob
3toward the front1.
You can see this distance in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead will change
according to the vehicle speed. The higher the
vehicle speed, the longer the distance.

pedal, depending on the distance to the ve-
hicle ahead and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
•If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. Once the ve-
hicle is stationary, it remains stationary and
you do not need to depress the brake pedal.
•Always pay attention to the operation of the
vehicle and be ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The ICC system
may not be able to maintain the selected
distance between vehicles (following dis-
tance) or selected vehicle speed under
some circumstances.
•Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead. If
required, depress the accelerator to prop-
erly accelerate your vehicle when accelera-
tion is required for a lane change. Depress
the brake pedal when deceleration is re-
quired to maintain a safe distance to the
vehicle ahead due to its sudden braking or if
a vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when
using the ICC system.
•The system may not detect the vehicle in
front of you in certain road or weather con-
ditions. To avoid accidents, never use the
ICC system under the following conditions:– On roads where the traffic is heavy or
there are sharp curves.
– On slippery road surfaces such as on ice
or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the
system sensor.
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle speed and
frequent braking may result in overheat-
ing the brakes).
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads.
– When traffic conditions make it difficult
to keep a proper distance between ve-
hicles because of frequent acceleration
or deceleration.
– If there is interference by other radar
sources.
•Do not use the ICC system if you are towing a
trailer. The system may not detect a vehicle
ahead.
•In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle
or object can unexpectedly come into the
sensor detection zone and cause automatic braking. You may need to control the dis-
tance from other vehicles using the accel-
erator pedal. Always stay alert and avoid
using the ICC system when it is not recom-
mended in this section.
•The distance sensor will not detect the fol-
lowing objects:
– Stationary and slow moving vehicles.
– Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
– Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel
lane.
The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot properly detect a vehicle ahead
and the system may not operate properly:
•When the snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s visibility.
•When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the luggage room of your
vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation within the limita-
tion of the system. When the sensor is covered
with dirt or is obstructed, the system will auto-
matically be canceled. If the sensor is covered
with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In

FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the
FEB system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
•The FEB system cannot detect all vehicles
under all conditions.
•The radar sensor does not detect the follow-
ing objects:– Pedestrians or animals
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance
limitations. For stationary vehicles, the FEB
system will not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over:
– Approximately 31 MPH (50 km/h) for the
Autonomous braking function.
•The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or heavy rain.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. mo-
torcycle). –
If the vehicle ahead is in a different lane.
– Under strong radar reflections, for ex-
ample, in a multi-level parking garage.
– New vehicle or after a maintenance of the
FEB system. For additional information,
see Break-in schedule later in this sec-
tion
– When driving on a steep downhill slope
or roads with sharp curves.
– When towing a trailer.
•In some road or traffic conditions, the FEB
system may intervene unnecessarily or give
an unnecessary warning. Always pay care-
ful attention to the traffic situation. Do not
rely solely on the distance warning function
and terminate the intervention if necessary.
•Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
•The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor
area such as ice, snow, stickers, for ex-
ample. 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 warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
If the FEB stops working due to a malfunction or
some other reason, one of the following three
messages will be displayed in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
•[Emergency Brake Currently Unavailable See
Operator’s Manual]
•[Emergency Brake Inoperative]
•[Radar Sensors Dirty See Operator’s Manual]
For each of these messages, possible causes
and solutions are listed below.
[Emergency Brake Currently Unavailable See
Operator’s Manual]: The FEB system is tempo-
rarily inoperative. Possible causes:
•The radar sensor system is temporarily inop-
erative, for example, due to electromagnetic
radiation emitted by nearby TV or radio sta-
tions or other sources of electromagnetic
radiation.
•The system is outside the operating tempera-
ture range.
Starting and driving5-65

•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.
Starting and driving5-69

•The parking space is bordered by an ob-
stacle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer.
1Detected parking space on the left.
2Parking symbol.
3Detected parking space on the right.
IPA is activated automatically when driving for-
wards. The system is operational at speeds of
up to approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h). While in
operation, the system independently locates
and measures parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle
IPA will only detect parking spaces:
•Adjacent to the vehicle.
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel and
are at least 5 ft (1.5 m) wide.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel and
at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) longer than your
vehicle.
•That are at right angles to the direction of
travel and at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) wider than
your vehicle.
NOTE
IPA cannot measure the length of a parking
space if it is at right angles to the direction of
travel. You will need to judge whether your ve-
hicle will fit in the parking space
When driving at speeds below 19 MPH (30
km/h) you will see parking symbol
2as a
status indicator in the vehicle information dis-
play. When a parking space has been detected,
an arrow towards the right
3or the left1also
appears. IPA only displays parking spaces on
the front-passenger side as standard. Parking
spaces on the driver’s side are displayed as
soon as the turn signal on the driver’s side is
activated. When parking on the driver’s side,
this must remain activated until you confirm the
use of IPA by pressing the button on the
steering wheel. The system automatically deter-
mines whether the parking space is parallel or
at right angles to the direction of travel. A parking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approximately
50 ft (15 m) away from it.
PARKING
NOTE
When the parking sensor system detects ob-
stacles, you are responsible for braking in good
time.
1. Stop the vehicle when the parking symbol
shows the desired parking space in the
combination meter
2. Shift into position R. The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle information
display.
3. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
4. To park using IPA press the button on
the steering wheel. The Park Assist [Observe
surroundings] message appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
5. Release the steering wheel.
