2018 INFINITI Q60 COUPE sensor

5-102Starting and driving
SSD0252
The detection zone of the sensor is limited. A
vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone
for the system to operate.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the
detection zone due to its position within the
same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be
detected in the same lane ahead if they are
traveling offset from the centerline of the
lane. A vehicle that is entering the lane ahead
may not be detected until the vehicle has
completely moved into the lane.If this
occurs, the system may warn you by blink-
ing the system indicator and sounding the
chime. The driver may have to manually
control the proper distance away from
vehicle traveling ahead.

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the sensor
may detect vehicles in a different lane, or
may temporarily not detect a vehicle travel-
ing ahead. This may cause the system to
work inappropriately.
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 system
may warn you by blinking the system
indicator and sounding the chime unexpect-
edly. You will have to manually control the
proper distance away from the vehicle
traveling ahead.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the FEB
with pedestrian detection system could
result in serious personal injury or death.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for the
driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely.
It cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driving
techniques.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system does not function in all driv-
ing, traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
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.
JVS0865X
The FEB with pedestrian detection system
uses a radar sensorlocated behind the
grille of the front bumper to measure the
distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.
For pedestrians, the FEB with pedestrian
detection system uses a camera
installed
behind the windshield in addition to the
radar sensor.

TION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the FEB with pedestrian detection
system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrian under all conditions.
.The radar sensor FEB with pedes-
trian detection system does not de-
tect the following objects:
— Small pedestrians (including small
children), animals and cyclists.
— Pedestrians in wheelchairs or
using mobile transport such as
scooters, child-operated toys, or
skateboards.
— Pedestrians who are seated or
otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position.
— Oncoming vehicles— Crossing vehicles
— Obstacles on the roadside
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system has some performance limita-
tions.
— If a stationary vehicle is in the
vehicle’s path, the FEB with pe-
destrian detection system will not
function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 50
MPH (80 km/h).
— For pedestrian detection, the
FEB with pedestrian detection
system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds
over approximately 37 MPH (60
km/h) or below approximately 6
MPH (10km/h).
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system will not function for pedes-
trians in darkness or in tunnels, even
if there is street lighting in the area.
.For pedestrians, the FEB with pedes-
trian detection system will not issue
the first warning and will not push
the accelerator pedal up.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if the vehi-
cle ahead is narrow (for example amotorcycle).
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if speed
difference between the two vehicles
is too small.
.The radar sensor FEB with pedes-
trian detection system may not func-
tion properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
— Poor visibility (conditions such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray from
other vehicles)
— Driving on a steep downhill slope
or roads with sharp curves.
— Driving on a bumpy road surface,
such as an uneven dirt road.
— If dirt, ice, snow or other material
is covering the radar sensor area.
— Interference by other radar
sources.
— The camera area of windshield is
fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
— Strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams from oncom-
ing vehicles) enters the front
camera. Strong light causes the
area around the pedestrian to be
Starting and driving5-109

5-110Starting and driving
cast in a shadow, making it diffi-
cult to see.
— A sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the
vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or a
shaded area or lightning flashes.)
— The poor contrast of a person to
the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable
due to the pedestrian transport-
ing luggage, wearing bulky or very
loose-fitting clothing or acces-
sories.
.The system performance may de-
grade in the following conditions:
— The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
— The vehicle is driven on a slope.
— Excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the
trunk of your vehicle.
.The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor (radar and
camera)’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not
detect blockage of sensor areas cov-ered by ice, snow or stickers, for
example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver
properly. Be sure that you check,
clean and clear sensor areas regularly.
.In some road and traffic conditions,
the FEB with pedestrian detection
system may unexpectedly apply par-
tial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
.Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
