SSD0252
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the
detection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance detection mode to maintain the
selected distance from the vehicle ahead.
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 ICC system may warn you by
blinking the system indicator and sounding
the chime. The driver may have to manuallycontrol 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 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.

ICC system warning
Condition B:
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.
.When the radar sensor area of the front
bumper is covered with dirt or is ob-
structedAction to take:
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.

If it is not possible to set the system or the
warning stays on, it may indicate that the
ICC system is malfunctioning. Although the
vehicle is still driveable under normal con-
ditions, have the vehicle checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.

System maintenance
The sensor for the ICC systemis located
behind the grille of the front bumper.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
.Always keep the sensor area of the front
grille clean.
.Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
.Do not cover or attach stickers or similar
objects on the front bumper near the
sensor area. This could cause failure or
malfunction.
.Do not attach metallic objects near the
sensor area (brush guard, etc.). Thiscould cause failure or malfunction.
.Do not alter, remove or paint the front
bumper. It is recommended you contact
an INFINITI retailer before customizing
or restoring the front bumper.

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.

system completely off.
When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position, the system is also automati-
cally turned off.
To use the ICC system again, quickly push
and release the MAIN switch (vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode) or push and
hold it (conventional cruise control mode)
again to turn it on.
When the Distance Control Assist (DCA)
system is on, the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode cannot be turned on
even though the MAIN switch is pushed and
held.
To turn on the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, turn off the DCA
system. See “Distance Control Assist
(DCA)” (P.5-94).

To set cruising speed,accelerate your
vehicle to the desired speed, push the SET/
COAST (-) switch and release it. (The color
of the cruise indicator changes to green and
set vehicle speed indicator comes on.) Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.
.To pass another vehicle,depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the
previously set speed.
.The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed when going up or down steep hills.
If this happens, manually maintain vehi-
cle speed.To cancel the preset speed,use any of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The vehicle
speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The vehicle speed
indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the
cruise indicator and vehicle speed indi-
cator will turn off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed,use one
of the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET/COAST (-) switch.
2. Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELER-
ATE (+) switch. When the vehicle attains
the desired speed, release the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the RESUME/
ACCELERATE (+) switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed,use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the SET/COAST (-) switch and release it.
2. Push and hold the SET/COAST (-)
switch. Release the switch when the
vehicle slows down to the desired speed.

3. Push, then quickly release the SET/
COAST (-) switch. Each time you do this,
the set speed will decrease by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed,push and
release the RESUME/ACCELERATE (+)
switch. The vehicle will resume the last set
cruising speed when the vehicle speed is over
25 MPH (40 km/h).
System temporarily unavailable
A chime sounds under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed.

8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed
.When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
or manual shift mode
.When the parking brake is applied.
.When the VDC operates (including the
traction control system)
