•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 deactivated.
•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 brakepedal, 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.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the ICC systemAis located
behind the INFINITI logo at the front of the
vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly, be
sure to observe the following:
•Always keep area around the sensor clean.
•Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor. Do not touch or remove the screw
located on the sensor. Doing so could cause
failure or malfunction. If the sensor is dam-
aged due to an accident, it is recommended
you contact an INFINITI retailer.
•Do not cover or attach stickers (including
transparent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure or
malfunction.

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
driving, 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.The FEB system uses a radar sensorAlocated
behind the INFINITI logo to measure the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead in the traveling lane.

2Distance warning light
3Forward emergency braking OFF displayThe 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.
NSD624
Starting and driving5-61
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
maintained 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.
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 ve-
hicles
•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.

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.
