2017 INFINITI QX30 trailer

•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 ve-
hicle 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
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

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 informa-
tion, seeBreak-in schedulelater in this
section
–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 certain limi-
tations. The system may not detect some forms
of obstruction of the sensor area such as ice,
snow, stickers, for example. In these cases, the
system may not be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. 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.

5-64Starting and driving

IPA is an electronic parking aid with ultrasound.
It detects vehicles and open spaces on both
sides of the vehicle. A parking symbol indicates
a suitable parking space. Active steering inter-
vention can assist you during parking and when
exiting a parking space. The driver controls the
accelerator, brake and gear shift. You may also
use the parking sensor system (seeParking
sensor system (if equipped)later in this sec-
tion).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the immediate surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe maneuver-
ing and parking remains with you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or ob-
jects are in the maneuvering range
•When the parking sensor system is deacti-
vated, IPA is also unavailable.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could
cause you to collide with other road users.
There is a risk of an accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop the
vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA park-
ing procedure
•This system is not designed to prevent con-
tact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper
fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sens-
ing zone may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
•This system is not designed to prevent con-
tact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper
fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sens-
ing zone may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
Do not drive over obstacles such as curbs, as
you may damage the wheels or tires.
IPA may also display spaces not suitable for
parking, for example:
•Parking or stopping prohibition.
•In front of driveways or entrances and exits.
•Unsuitable surfaces.Parking tips:
•On narrow roads, drive as closely as pos-
sible past the parking space.
•Parking spaces that are littered or over-
grown might be identified or measured incor-
rectly.
•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.
INTELLIGENT PARKING ASSIST (IPA) (IF
EQUIPPED)
5-68Starting and driving

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
seeRange of the sensorslater 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.
•The parking space is bordered by an ob-
stacle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer.
Starting and driving5-69

The parking sensor system is activated auto-
matically when you:
•Switch on the ignition
•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.

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.
BREAK-IN SCHEDULE
Starting and driving5-81

Steering gear and linkage, axle and suspension
parts, drive shaft boots:
Check for damage, looseness, and leakage of
oil or grease. Under severe driving conditions,
inspect more frequently
Tire rotation:
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 miles
(10,000 km) for 2WD, every 3000 miles (5000
km) for 4WD/AWD according to the instructions
underTire rotation*earlier in this section“Ge-
neral maintenance” in this section. When rotat-
ing tires, check for damage and uneven wear.
Replace if necessary.
Transmission fluid/oil, differential oil, transfer
case oil:
Visually inspect for signs of leakage at specified
intervals.To ensure smooth, trouble-free, safe and eco-
nomical driving, INFINITI provides two mainte-
nance schedules that may be used, depending
upon the conditions in which you usually drive.
These schedules contain both distance and
time intervals, up to 120,000 miles (192,000
km)/144 months. For most people, the odom-
eter reading will indicate when service is
needed. However, if you drive very little, your
vehicle should be serviced at the regular time
intervals shown in the schedule.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144 months,
continue maintenance at the same mileage/time
intervals.
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
FOR SEVERE OPERATING SYSTEMS
Additional maintenance items for severe oper-
ating conditions; should be performed on ve-
hicles that are driven under especially demand-
ing conditions. Additional maintenance items
should be performed if you primarily operate
your vehicle under the following conditions:
•Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in
normal temperatures or less than 10 miles in
freezing temperatures.
•Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or low
speed driving for long distances.
•Driving in dusty conditions or on rough,
muddy or salt-spread roads.
•Towing a trailer, or using a camper or car-top
carrier.
OIL CHANGE MONITOR
This vehicle is equipped with oil change moni-
tor. It calculates engine oil and filter change
interval base on driving conditions. Driving in
severe conditions will shorten the engine oil
and filter change interval. When the Engine Oil
– Service Due Now warning appears in the
vehicle information display, the engine oil and
filter need to be replaced.
NOTE
For vehicles operated in Canada, both standard
and severe maintenance items should be per-
formed at every interval.
