HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
LDW SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the LDW system.
1. Push the SETTING button
.
2. Touch [Driver Assistance].
3. Touch [Lane Assist].
4. Touch [Lane Departure Warning] to turn the system ON/OFF.
LDP SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDP system operates above approxi-
mately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and when the
lane markings are clear.
If the vehicle approaches either the left or
right side of the traveling lane, the LDW
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel will flash and a warning chime will
sound. Then, the LDP system will automa-
tically apply the brakes for a short period of
time to help assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane.
NOTE:
.The LDP system is not designed to work
when you operate the lane change signal
and change traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDP system will
become operable again approximately 2
seconds after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
. The LDP braking assist will not operate
or will stop operating and only a warn-
ing chime will sound under the following
conditions.
— When the brake pedal is depressed.
— When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary for the vehicle to
change lanes.
— When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed while brake control assist is provided.
— When the ICC, DCA, BSI, BSW,
PFCW or FEB warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
. While the LDP system is operating, you
may hear a sound of brake operation.
This is normal and indicates that the
LDP system is operating properly.

vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is
required for a lane change. Depress the
brake pedal when deceleration is required
to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when using
the ICC system.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode switches
The system is operated by a MAIN switch
and four control switches, all mounted on
the steering wheel.
1. ACCELERATE/RESUME switch:Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally.
2. COAST/SET switch: Sets desired cruise speed, reduces speed
incrementally.
3. CANCEL switch: Deactivates the system without erasing
the set speed. 4. DISTANCE switch:
Changes the vehicle’s following distance:
.Long.Middle.Short
5. MAIN switch:
Master switch to activate the system

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 safe
vehicle distance if:
.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection 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
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).
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed.
.
When the vehicle ahead is not detected
and your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is at
standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
or manual shift mode .
When the parking brake is applied
. When the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector
is turned to the SNOW mode
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When ABS or VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When distance measurement becomes
impaired due to adhesion of dirt or
obstruction to the sensor
. When a wheel slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the ICC sensor
may detect vehicles in a different lane, or
may temporarily not detect a vehicle travel-
ing 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 the
vehicle traveling ahead.

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
cancelled.
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 depres-
sing 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 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 vehicles that are parked
or moving slowly.
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 DCA 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 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).
