2017 INFINITI QX30 stop start

Illustration 2:If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice) and the BSW
indicator light flashes. The BSW indicator light
continues to flash until the detected vehicles
leave the detection zone.
NOTE
•The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
•The brightness of the BSW indicator lights is
adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
•If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn signal, then
only the BSW indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. (See Another vehicle ap-
proaching from behind later in this section.) A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver acti-
vates the turn signal.
WARNING
•Do not use the BSW system when towing a
trailer because the system may not function
properly.
•Excessive noise (for example audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The radar sensors may not be able to detect
and activate BSW when certain objects are
present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
– Several types of vehicles such as motor-
cycles
– Oncoming vehicles
– Vehicles remaining in the detection zone
when you accelerate from a stop.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane
at a speed approximately the same as
your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from be-
hind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes
rapidly.
•Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to detect
other vehicles.
•The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar sen-
sors may not detect vehicles in an adjacent
lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the
radar sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
•The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however objects
such as guardrails, walls, foliage and
parked vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operating condition.

•The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other vehicles: –
Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build-up on the vehicle
– Frost build-up on the vehicle
– Dirt build- up on the vehicle
•Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the ability of
the radar to detect other vehicles.
•Do not use the BSW system when towing a
trailer because the system may not function
properly.
•Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume,
open vehicle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be heard.
•The BSW system may not provide a warning
for vehicles that pass through the detection
zone quickly.
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The BSW indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from
behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is travelling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator
light may not illuminate before the detected
vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always use the
side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is
safe to change lanes.

Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn
signal, then the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes.
NOTE
•The radar sensors may not detect vehicles
which are approaching rapidly from behind.
•If the driver activates the turn signal before a
vehicle enters the detection zone, the BSW
indicator light will flash but no chime will
sound when the other vehicle is detected.
Accelerate from a stop
NOTE
Illustration 3: If you accelerate from a stop with a
vehicle in the detection zone, the other vehicle
may not be detected.
Overtaking another vehicle
When you overtake a vehicle, the warning only
occurs if the difference in speed is less than
7 MPH (12 km/h).
Illustration 4: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle
stays in the detection zone for approximately
3 seconds.

ICC SYSTEM OPERATION
1Speedometer
2Distance warning light
3Vehicle information display
4Cruise control leverThe ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a ve-
hicle traveling in the same lane and direction.
If the distance sensorAdetects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows
the vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The ICC system maintains a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you within the speed
range of 0 to 125 MPH (0 to 200 km/h) up to the
set speed. The set speed can be selected by the
driver between 20 to 125 MPH (30 to 200 km/h).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the road
ahead is clear.
The ICC system is designed to maintain a
selected distance from the vehicle in front of
you and reduce the speed to match a slower
vehicle ahead. The system will decelerate the
vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle ahead
comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill. However, the ICC system can only
apply up to 50% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re-
main fairly constant or when vehicle speeds
change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the
traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling
ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-
tween vehicles may become closer because the
ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system
will sound a warning chime and illuminate the
distance warning light to notify the driver to
take necessary action.
NSD625
5-48Starting and driving

The following items are controlled in the ICC
system:
•When there are no vehicles traveling ahead,
the ICC system maintains the speed set by
the driver. The set speed range is between
approximately 20 and 125 MPH (30 and 200
km/h).
•When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the
ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by driver, from the vehicle
ahead. The adjusting speed range is up to
the set speed. If the vehicle ahead comes to
a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. Once
the vehicle is stationary, it remains station-
ary and you do not need to depress the brake
pedal.
•When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved
out from its lane of travel, pull the cruise
control lever or push the accelerator pedal
briefly. The ICC system accelerates and main-
tains vehicle speed up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle speed
or warn you when you approach stationary and
slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper distance
from vehicles ahead when approaching toll
gates or traffic congestion.

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

•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.
