.The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed.
The higher the vehicle speed, the longer
the distance.
.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 depres-
sing the brake pedal to maintain a safevehicle distance if:
.The chime sounds.
.The vehicle ahead detection indicator and
set distance indicator blink.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance be-
tween 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 increasing
.When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
.Your vehicle approaches other vehicles
that are parked or moving slowly.
.The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
radar 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 radar 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

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a vehicle
traveling ahead. This may cause the ICC
system to decelerate or accelerate the
vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering man-
euver or traveling position in the lane, etc.) or
vehicle condition.If this occurs, the ICC
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 thevehicle traveling ahead.

Under the following conditions, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the ICC
system is automatically canceled.
The chime will sound, the ICC system
warning (orange) and the “front radar ob-
struction” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.

If the warning (orange) or warning message
appears, stop the vehicle in a safe place,
place the shift lever in the P (Park) position
and turn the engine off. When the radar
signal is temporarily interrupted, clean the
sensor area of the front bumper and restart
the engine. If the warning (orange) or
warning message continues to be displayed,
have the ICC system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
.When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next
to long walls)
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn the ICC system back on to use the
system.
Condition C:
When the ICC system is not operating
properly, the chime sounds and the ICC
system warning (orange) will appear.
Action to take:
If the warning appears, stop the vehicle in a
safe place and place the shift lever in the P
(Park) position. Turn the engine off, restart
the engine, resume driving and set the ICC
system again.

CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed between
25 to 90 MPH (40 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 dis-
tance 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 ICC
system display.
.Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode when
driving under the following condi-
tions:
— 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 DCA system is intended to assist the
driver in keeping a following distance from
the vehicle ahead traveling in the same lane
and direction.
If the radar sensor
detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce
the vehicle speed to help assist the driver to
maintain a following distance.
The system automatically controls the throt-
tle and applies the brakes (up to approxi-
mately 40% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

DCA SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the DCA
system could result in serious personal
injury or death.
.When the vehicle ahead detection
indicator is not illuminated, system
will not control the vehicle or warn
the driver.
.Never place your foot under the
brake pedal. Your foot may be caught
when the system controls the brake.
.Depending on the position of the
accelerator pedal, the system may
not be able to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal appro-
priately.
The DCA system brakes and moves the
accelerator pedal upward according to the
distance from and the relative speed of the
vehicle ahead to help assist the driver in
maintaining a following distance. The sys-
tem will decelerate as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the
DCA system can only apply up to approxi-mately 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. If a vehicle moves into the traveling
lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead
rapidly decelerates, the distance between
vehicles may become closer because the
DCA system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the DCA
system will sound a warning chime and blink
the system display to notify the driver to
take necessary action.
See “Approach warning” (P.5-98).

(brake operation is necessary)
The DCA system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accelera-
tor pedal upward in the normal driving
condition.
When a vehicle ahead is detected:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator ap-
pears.
When the vehicle approaches a vehicle
ahead:.If the driver’s foot is not on the accel-
erator pedal, the system activates the
brakes to decelerate smoothly as neces-
sary. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still within the limitations of the system.
.If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by the driver is
required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detec-
tion indicator. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal after the warning, thesystem moves the accelerator pedal upward
to assist the driver to switch to the brake
pedal.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
.When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operation overrides
the system operation.
.When the driver depresses the accelera-
tor pedal even further while the system is
moving the accelerator pedal upward,
the DCA system control of the accel-
erator pedal is canceled.
.When the driver’s foot is on the accel-
erator pedal, the brake control by the
system is not operated.
.When the driver’s foot is on the brake
pedal, neither the brake control nor the
alert by the system operates.
.When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system is set, the DCA system will be
inactive.
