When driving on some roads, such as winding,
hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads which are
under construction, the sensor may detect ve-
hicles in a different lane, or may temporarily not
detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This may cause
the system to work inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or traveling
position in the lane, etc.) or vehicle condition.If
this occurs, the system may warn you by
blinking the system indicator and sounding
the chime unexpectedly. You will have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.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 DCA 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 your
vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked or
moving slowly.

Starting and driving5-103
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when ICC
sensor detects vehicles in other lanes
Aor
objects on the side of the road
A. This may
cause the DCA system to operate inappro-
priately. The ICC sensor may detect these
objects when the vehicle is driven on wind-
ing 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) .
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Under the following conditions, the DCA system
will not operate and the DCA cancellation mes-
sage will pop up:
● When the SNOW mode switch is ON (To
use the DCA system, turn off the SNOW
mode switch, then turn on the dynamic driver
assistance switch.)
For additional information about the SNOW
mode switch, refer to “Snow mode” in this

Condition B:
When the sensor area of the front bumper is dirty,
making it impossible to detect a vehicle ahead,
the DCA system is automatically canceled.
The chime sounds and the system warning light
(orange) will come on and the “Unavailable: Front
radar blocked” indicator will appear.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the engine off. Clean the sensor
area of the bumper and then perform the settings
again.Condition C:
When the DCA system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the system warning light
(“DCA” orange) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the engine,
and turn on the DCA system again.If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the
system is malfunctioning. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal condi-
tions, have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the DCA system is common with
ICC and is located behind the front bumper.

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the FEB with pe-
destrian detection system could result in
serious injury or death.
●The FEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem is a supplemental aid to the driver.
It is not a replacement for the driver’s
attention to traffic conditions or re-
sponsibility to drive safely. It cannot
prevent accidents due to carelessness
or dangerous driving techniques.
● The FEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather and road conditions.
The FEB with pedestrian detection system can
assist the driver when there is a risk of a forward
collision with the vehicle ahead in the traveling
lane or with a pedestrian. The FEB with pedestrian detection system uses a
radar sensor
Alocated behind the lower grille of
the front bumper to measure the distance to the
vehicle ahead in the same lane. For pedestrians,
the FEB system uses a camera
Binstalled be-
hind the windshield in addition to the radar sen-
sor.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING
(FEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-107
1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. FEB with pedestrian detection emergencywarning indicator
3. FEB with pedestrian detection system warn- ing light
SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB with pedestrian detection system oper-
ates at speeds above approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h). For the pedestrian detection function,
the FEB with pedestrian detection system oper-
ates at speeds between 6 – 37 mph (10 –
60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision with a vehicle is
detected, the FEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem will first provide a warning to the driver by
flashing the vehicle ahead detection indicator
and providing an audible alert. In addition, the
FEB with pedestrian detection system pushes
the accelerator pedal up, and then the system
applies partial braking. If the driver applies the
brakes quickly and forcefully, but the FEB with
pedestrian detection system detects that there is
still the possibility of a forward collision, the sys-
tem will automatically increase the braking force.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent and the
driver does not take action, the FEB with pedes-
trian detection system issues the second warning
to the driver by flashing the FEB with pedestrian
LSD2639
5-108Starting and driving
detection emergency warning indicator (red) ,
providing an audible warning, and then automati-
cally applies harder braking.
If a risk of a forward impact with a pedestrian is
detected, the FEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem will provide a warning to the driver by flashing
the FEB with pedestrian detection emergency
warning indicator (red) , provides an audible alert
and the system will apply partial baking. If the
driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully
but the FEB with pedestrian detection system
detects that there is still the possibility of a for-
ward impact with a pedestrian, the system will
automatically increase the braking force. If the
risk of collision becomes imminent and the driver
does not take action, the FEB with pedestrian
detection system automatically applies harder
braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the FEB with
pedestrian detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well as driving
and roadway conditions, the system may help the
driver avoid a forward collision or may help miti-
gate the consequences if a collision should be
unavoidable. If the driver is handling the steeringwheel, accelerating or braking, the FEB with pe-
destrian detection system will function later or
will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing conditions:
● When the steering wheel is turned to avoid a
collision.
● When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
● When there is no longer a vehicle or a pe-
destrian detected ahead.
If the FEB with pedestrian detection system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
