Illustration 5: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes.
NOTE
•When overtaking several vehicles in a row,
the vehicles after the first vehicle may not
be detected if they are travelling close to-
gether.
•The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.
•If the driver activates the turn signal be-
fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle is
detected.

RADAR MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensor unitsAfor the BSW
system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tempo-
rary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors.Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended you consult
an INFINITI retailer if the area around the
radar sensors is damaged due to a collision.

vice must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation.
NOTE
Changes or modification not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment.
For Canada:
This device complies with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the
device.Cruise control maintains a constant road
speed for you. It brakes automatically in order
to avoid exceeding the set speed. You must
select a lower gear in good time on long and
steep downhill gradients, especially if the ve-
hicle is laden or towing a trailer.WARNING
For vehicles with automatic transmission,
you need to have selected manual drive
program M (see "Manual drive program"
earlier in this section). By doing so, you will
make use of the braking effect of the en-
gine. This relieves the load on the brake
system and prevents the brakes from over-
heating and wearing too quickly.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic
conditions are appropriate for maintaining a
steady speed for a prolonged period. You can
set the cruise control at any road speed
above 20 MPH (30 km/h).
The speed indicated in the speedometer may
differ slightly from the set speed.

ICC SYSTEM OPERATION
1Speedometer
2Distance warning light
3Vehicle information display
4Cruise control lever
The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and direc-
tion.
If the distance sensor
Adetects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce
the vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows
the vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The ICC system maintains a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you within the
speed range of 0 to 125 MPH (0 to
200 km/h) up to the set speed. The set speed
can be selected by the driver between 20 to
125 MPH (30 to 200 km/h).The vehicle travels at a set speed when the
road ahead is clear.
The ICC system is designed to maintain a
selected distance from the vehicle in front of
you and reduce the speed to match a slower
vehicle ahead. The system will decelerate the
NSD645

vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle ahead
comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill. However, the ICC system can only
apply up to 50% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re-
main fairly constant or when vehicle speeds
change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the
traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling
ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-
tween vehicles may become closer because
the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system
will sound a warning chime and illuminate the
distance warning light to notify the driver to
take necessary action.
The following items are controlled in the ICC
system:
•When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the ICC system maintains the
speed set by the driver. The set speed
range is between approximately 20 and
125 MPH (30 and 200 km/h).
•When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,
the ICC system adjusts the speed to main-
tain the distance, selected by driver, from
the vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed
range is up to the set speed. If the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decel-
erates to a standstill within the limitations
of the system. Once the vehicle is station-
ary, it remains stationary and you do not
need to depress the brake pedal.
•When the vehicle traveling ahead has
moved out from its lane of travel, pull the
cruise control lever or push the accelerator
pedal briefly. The ICC system accelerates
and maintains vehicle speed up to the set
speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach sta-
tionary and slow moving vehicles. You must
pay attention to vehicle operation to main-
tain proper distance from vehicles ahead
when approaching toll gates or traffic con-
gestion.

OPERATING ICC
To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle
to the desired speed and quickly push the
cruise control lever, up
1or down4. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your ve-
hicle will maintain the set speed.
NOTE
If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the [ICC Suspended] message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display. The
set distance to a slower-moving vehicle in
front will then not be maintained. You will be
driving at the speed you determine by the
position of the accelerator pedal.
You can also activate the ICC when station-
ary. The lowest speed that can be set is
20 MPH (30 km/h ).
System operation
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, similar to
standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle
is detected in the lane ahead. The ICC system
displays the set speed for 5 seconds after the
cruise control lever is activated.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the
brakes to match the speed of a slower vehicle
ahead. The system then controls the vehicle
speed based on the speed of the vehicle
ahead to maintain the driver selected dis-
tance.The brake lights of the vehicle come on when
braking is performed by the ICC system.
When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead symbol
1appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead,
the ICC system gradually accelerates your
vehicle to resume the previously set vehicle
speed. The ICC system then maintains the set
speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead display turns off

If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.
Changing lanes to pass another
vehicle:
When you changes lane to pass another ve-
hicle, ICC supports the action if:
•The vehicle speed is more than 45 MPH
(70 km/h)
•The ICC is maintaining the distance to a
vehicle in front
•The respective turn signal is activated
If these conditions are met, the vehicle will be
accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted
if changing lanes takes too long or if the
distance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front becomes too small.
How to change the set vehicle
speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of these
methods:
•Tap the brake pedal when the vehicle is
moving.
•Quickly push the cruise control lever in the
direction of arrow
5.
The message [ICC OFF] appears in the ve-
hicle information display for 5 seconds.
To reset at a higher cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, quickly
pull the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever up1beyond
the pressure point. The set vehicle speed
will increase by approximately 10 MPH
(10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever up (1) at the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
increase by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To reset at a lower cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, quickly pull
the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever down4be-
yond the pressure point. The set vehicle
speed will decrease by approximately
10 MPH (10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever down4to the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, quickly pull the
cruise control lever towards you
4. The ve-
hicle will resume the last set cruising speed
when the vehicle speed is over 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
