2017 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID warning

For additional information, refer to “Approach
warning” in this section.
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 90 mph (32 and
144 km/h).
● When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the
ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain
the distance, selected by the driver, from the
vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes to
a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The sys-
tem will cancel once it judges a standstill
with a warning chime.
● When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved
out from its lane of travel, the ICC system
accelerates and maintains 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. When driving on the freeway at a set speed and
approaching a slower traveling vehicle ahead, the
ICC system will adjust the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by the driver, from the vehicle
ahead. If the vehicle ahead changes lanes or exits
the freeway, the ICC system will accelerate and
maintain the speed up to the set speed. Pay
attention to the driving operation to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle as it accelerates to the set
speed.
Normally when controlling the distance to a ve-
hicle ahead, this system automatically acceler-
ates or decelerates your vehicle according to the
speed of the vehicle ahead. Depress the accel-
erator to properly accelerate your vehicle whenacceleration is required for a lane change. De-
press 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.
ICC (Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control) mode
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode,
the ICC system automatically maintains a se-
lected distance from the vehicle traveling in front
of you according to that vehicle’s speed (up to
the set speed) , or at the set speed when the road
ahead is clear.
The system is intended to enhance the operation
of the vehicle when following a vehicle traveling in
the same lane and direction.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving ve-
hicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle
speed so that your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle
and applies the brakes (up to approximately 40%
of vehicle braking power) if necessary. The de-
tection range of the sensor is approximately
650 ft (200 m) ahead.

Preview Function
The ICC system with the Preview Function iden-
tifies the need to apply emergency braking by
sensing a vehicle ahead in the same lane, and the
distance and relative speed from it. The system
applies the brake pre-pressure before the driver
depresses the brake pedal and helps improve
brake response by reducing pedal free play.● This system will not operate when the ve-
hicle is moving at approximately 20 mph
(32 km/h) or less.
● The pre-pressure function ceases when the
following conditions are met:
1. When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
2. If the driver does not operate the accelerator or brake pedal within approximately 1 sec-
ond. ●
The sensor will not detect:
1. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
2. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
3. Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane as illustrated
WARNING
●This system is only an aid to assist brak-
ing operation and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at
all times. ●
As there is a performance limit to the
Preview Function, never rely solely on
this system. This system does not cor-
rect careless inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome poor vis-
ibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather.
Reduce vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, in order to maintain a safe
distance between vehicles.
● The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. The Preview Function may
not operate properly under the follow-
ing conditions. The vehicle is still drive-
able under normal conditions and the
Brake Assist will operate.
– When rain or snow adhere to the bumper around the distance sensor
– Vehicle position in the lane may cause the sensor to temporarily not
detect a vehicle in the same lane or
may detect objects or vehicles in
other lanes.

Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode
This mode allows driving at a speed between 20
to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h) without keeping your
foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
●In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close
to the vehicle ahead, as neither the
presence of the vehicle ahead nor the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected.
● Pay special attention to the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.
● Always confirm the setting in the Intel-
ligent Cruise Control system display.
● Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode when driv-
ing under the following conditions:
– When it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
– On winding or hilly roads – On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.)
– In very windy areas
● Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
THE ICC SWITCH
The system is operated by the CRUISE ON/OFF
switch and four control switches, all mounted on
the steering wheel.
1. ACCEL/RES switch:
Resumes set speed or increases speed in-
crementally.
2. COAST/SET switch:
Sets desired cruise speed or reduces speed
incrementally.

Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the
ICC system decelerates the vehicle by control-
ling the throttle and applying the brakes to match
the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The system
then controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver
selected distance. NOTE:
● The stoplights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
● When the brake operates, a noise may
be heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and se-
lected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to
resume the previously set vehicle speed. The ICC
system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system
is in operation, the system controls the distance
to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the system will
be canceled.

Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if
another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the
driver with the chime and ICC system display.
Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to
maintain a safe vehicle distance if:● The chime sounds.
● The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
The warning chime may not sound in some cases
when there is a short distance between vehicles.
Some examples are: ● When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing.
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing.
● When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when: ● The vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed, overrid-
ing the system. NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
ICC sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle or on the side of the road. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle. The ICC sensor may
detect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding roads, narrow roads, hilly
roads, or when entering or exiting a curve.
In these cases you will have to manually
control the proper distance ahead of your
vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some
damage) .
