2017 INFINITI QX30 sensor

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
Starting and driving5-55

these instances, the ICC system may not cancel
and may not be able to maintain the selected
following distance from the vehicle ahead. Be
sure to check and clean the sensor regularly.
TIPS FOR DRIVING WITH THE ICC
SYSTEM
General notes
The following contains descriptions of certain
road and traffic conditions in which you must be
particularly attentive. In such situations, brake
if necessary. The ICC system is then deactivated
Cornering, entering and exiting a
bend
The ability of the ICC system to detect vehicles
when cornering is limited. Your vehicle may
brake unexpectedly or late.
Vehicles that are not driving in the
middle of their lane
The ICC system may not detect vehicles which
are not driving in the middle of their lane. The
system will not brake for or keep a following
distance to the car which is offset.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the FEB system could result in
serious personal injury or death.
•The FEB system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for the driver’s
attention to traffic conditions or responsi-
bility to drive safely. It cannot prevent acci-
dents due to carelessness or dangerous
driving techniques.
•The FEB system does not function in all driv-
ing, traffic, weather and road conditions.
The FEB system can assist the driver when there
is a risk of a forward collision with the vehicle
ahead in the traveling lane.

Autonomous braking function
If the driver does not react to the distance
warning signal in a critical situation, the FEB
system can assist with the autonomous braking
function
The autonomous braking function can help the
driver to avoid an accident or reduces the
effects of an accident.
The autonomous braking function is available in
the following speed ranges:
•4–125 MPH (7-200 km/h) for moving vehicles
•4–30 MPH (7 -50 km/h) for stationary ve-
hicles
Adaptive brake assist function
Adaptive brake assist function provides braking
assistance in hazardous situations at speeds
above 4MPH (7 km/h). It uses radar sensor
technology to assess the traffic situation.
If the system detects a risk of collision with the
vehicle in front, it calculates the braking force
necessary to avoid a collision. If you apply the
brakes forcefully, the adaptive brake assist
function will automatically increase the braking
force to a level suitable for the traffic condi-
tions.
If the adaptive brake assist function activates,
keep the brake pedal depressed until the emer-
gency braking situation is over. ABS prevents
the wheels from locking.
The brakes will work normally again if:
•You release the brake pedal.
•There is no longer any danger of a collision.
•No obstacle is detected in front of your
vehicle.
The brake assist function is then deactivated. At high speeds, the adaptive brake assist func-
tion is capable of reacting to moving objects
that have already been detected as such at
least once over the period of observation.
Up to a speed of approximately 45 MPH (70
km/h), the adaptive brake assist function reacts
to stationary vehicles.

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.
