2017 INFINITI QX60 warning

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. 3.

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 con-
ditions.
Each time the distance switch
Ais pushed, the
set distance will change to long, middle, short
and back to long again, in that sequence.
Distance Approximate distance at
60 mph (100 km/h) [ft (m)]
1. Long 180 (55)
2. Middle 130 (40)
3. Short 80 (25)
● The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed. The
higher the vehicle speed, the longer the dis-
tance.
● If the engine is stopped, the set distance
becomes “long”. (Each time the engine is
started, the initial setting becomes “long”.)
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) .
OPERATING CONVENTIONAL (fixed
speed) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
To turn on the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode,push and hold the
CRUISE ON/OFF switch
Afor longer than
about 1.5 seconds.
When pushing the CRUISE ON/OFF switch on,
the ICC system display and the CRUISE indica-
tor are displayed in the vehicle information dis-
play. After you hold the CRUISE ON/OFF switch
on for longer than about 1.5 seconds, the ICC
system display goes out. The CRUISE indicator
stays lit. You can now set your desired cruising speed. Pushing the CRUISE ON/OFF switch
again will turn the system completely off.
When the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position, the system is also automatically turned
off. To use the ICC again, quickly push and re-
lease the CRUISE ON/OFF switch (vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode) or push and hold

ICC SYSTEM 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.
●The ICC system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use the
ICC system in city traffic or congested
areas. ●
The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally 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
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, depend-
ing on the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circumstances in
order to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
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 distance) or se-
lected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.
