Deactivating/activating VDC
:
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.

tion occurs if:
•You have switched on the turn signals. In
this event, the warnings are suppressed for a
certain period of time.
•A driving safety system intervenes, such as
ABS, brake assist system (BAS) or VDC.
When [Adaptive] is selected, no warning vibra-
tion occurs if:
•You have switched on the turn signals. In
this case the warnings are suppressed for a

•You accelerate forcefully.
•You brake forcefully.
•You steer actively, for example, swerve to
avoid an obstacle or change lane quickly.
•You cut the corner on a sharp bend.
The system may detect certain conditions and
warns you accordingly.The warning vibration occurs earlier if:
•You approach the outer lane marking on a
bend.
•The road has very wide lanes, for example, a
freeway.
•The system detects solid lane markings.
The warning vibration occurs later if:
•The road has narrow lanes.
•You cut across a corner on a bend.
LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the
LDW system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
•This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of a potential unintended
lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle
or prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
•The system will not operate at speeds be-
low approximately 40 MPH (60 km/h) or if it
cannot detect lane markers.
NSD599Assistance graphic
Starting and driving5-31
•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.

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.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING (FEB)
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
5-60Starting 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.
