2018 INFINITI QX30 warning light

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
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.

How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
To increase the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the rear2.To
decrease the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the front1.
You can see this distance in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead will change
according to the vehicle speed. The higher the
vehicle speed, the longer the distance.
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system
warns the driver with the chime and distance
warning light. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:
•The chime sounds.
•The distance warning light is illuminated.
The warning chime may not sound and the
distance warning light may not illuminate in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:
•When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance between ve-
hicles is not changing. In this case, the
distance warning light will be on.
•When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing.
•When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
•The warning chime will not sound and the
distance warning light will not illuminate
when: – The vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly. – The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driv-
ing 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 and the message [ICC off] is
displayed in the vehicle information display
for 5 seconds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.
•The electric parking brake is applied.
•The VDC intervenes or the VDC is deacti-
vated.
•The P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral)
position is engaged.
•The cruise control lever is pulled in order to
pull away but the front passenger door or
one of the rear doors is open.
•The vehicle is skidding or a wheel slips.
•Active Park Assist is activated.

ICC LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
•This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
•The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the sys-
tem in city traffic or congested areas.
•This system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
•As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, depend-
ing on the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circumstances in
order to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
•If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. Once the
vehicle is stationary, it remains station-
ary and you do not need to depress the
brake pedal.
•Always pay attention to the operation
of the vehicle and be ready to manually
control the proper following distance.
The ICC system may not be able to main-
tain the selected distance between ve-
hicles (following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some circum-
stances.
•Normally when controlling the distance
to a vehicle ahead, this system auto-
matically accelerates or decelerates
your vehicle according to the speed of
the vehicle ahead. If required, depress
the accelerator to properly accelerate
your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the
brake pedal when deceleration is re- quired 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.
•The system may not detect the vehicle in
front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the ICC system under the following
conditions: – On roads where the traffic is heavy or
there are sharp curves.
– On slippery road surfaces such as on
ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the
system sensor.
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes).
– On repeated uphill and downhill
roads.
– When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration.
– If there is interference by other radar
sources.

FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
1Steering wheel mounted controls (left
side)
2Distance warning light
3Forward emergency braking OFF display The FEB system consists of a distance warn-
ing function with an autonomous emergency
braking function and adaptive brake assist
function.
The FEB system can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
reduce the effects of such a collision
If the FEB system detects that there is a risk
of a collision, you will be warned visually and
audibly. If you do not react to the visual and
audible collision warning, autonomous brak-
ing can be initiated in critical situations. If you
apply the brake yourself in a critical situation,
the adaptive brake assist function assists
you.

5-64Starting and driving

Distance warning function
The distance warning function can help you
to minimize the risk of a collision with the
vehicle in front or reduce the effects of such a
collision. If the distance warning function de-
tects that there is a risk of a collision, you will
be warned visually and audibly.
The distance warning function issues a warn-
ing at speeds:
•Of approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h) or
more, if, over several seconds the distance
maintained to the vehicle traveling in front
is insufficient. The distance warning light
then lights up in the combination meter.
•Of approximately 4 MPH (7 km/h) or
more, if you rapidly approach a vehicle in
front. An intermittent warning tone will
then sound and the distance warning light
will light up in the combination meter.
If a warning is issued:
•Brake immediately in order to increase the
distance from the vehicle in front.
or
•Take evasive action provided it is safe to
do so.
WARNING
Due to the nature of the system, particu-
larly complicated but non-critical driving
conditions may also cause the system to
display a warning.
Up to a speed of approximately 45 MPH (70
km/h), the distance warning function can
also react to stationary (stopped or parked)
vehicles.
If you approach a stationary vehicle and the
distance warning function detects a risk of a
collision, the system will alert you both visu-
ally and acoustically.
Autonomous braking function
If the driver does not react to the distance
warning signal in a critical situation, the FEB
system can assist with the autonomous brak-
ing function
The autonomous braking function can help
the driver to avoid an accident or reduces the
effects of an accident.
The autonomous braking function is available
in the following speed ranges:
•4–125 MPH (7-200 km/h) for moving ve-
hicles
•4–30 MPH (7 -50 km/h) for stationary
vehicles
Adaptive brake assist function
Adaptive brake assist function provides brak-
ing assistance in hazardous situations at
speeds above 4 MPH (7 km/h). It uses radar
sensor technology to assess the traffic situa-
tion.
If the system detects a risk of collision with
the vehicle in front, it calculates the braking
force necessary to avoid a collision. If you
apply the brakes forcefully, the adaptive
brake assist function will automatically in-
crease the braking force to a level suitable for
the traffic conditions.

Use IPA for parking spaces that are:
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction
of travel.
•On straight roads, not bends.
•On the same level as the road, e. g. not on
the sidewalk.
For vehicles with the towbar folded out, the
minimum length for parking spaces is slightly
longer.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle,
you may not use IPA. Once the electrical
connection is established between your ve-
hicle and the trailer, IPA is no longer available.
The sonar function is deactivated for the rear
area
DETECTING PARKING SPACES
The IPA system can only be used to park in
spaces that have vehicles directly on either
side of the parking space.
Objects located above the height range of
IPA will not be detected when the parking
space is measured. These are not taken into
account when the parking procedure is calcu-
lated, e. g. overhanging loads, tail sections or
loading ramps of goods vehicles.
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection
range, IPA may steer too early. This could
cause a collision. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and switch off the IPA.
For further information on the detection
range see "Range of the sensors" later in this
section.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces at
right angles to the direction of travel if:
•Two parking spaces are located directly
next to one another.
•The parking space is directly next to a low
obstacle such as a low curb.
•You forward park.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces that
are parallel or at right angles to the direction
of travel if:
•The parking space is on a curb.
•The system reads the parking space as
being blocked, for example, by foliage or
grass paving blocks.
•The area is too small for the vehicle to
maneuver into.
•The parking space is bordered by an ob-
stacle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer.

sonar function is still available. You can take
over the steering before the vehicle has ex-
ited the parking space completely. This is use-
ful, for example when you recognize that it is
already possible to pull out of the parking
space.
CANCELING IPA
Stop the movement of the steering wheel or
steer yourself. IPA will be immediately can-
celed. The [Park Assist canceled] message
appears in the vehicle information display.
or
Press the sonar function OFF switch. The
sonar function is switched off and IPA is
immediately canceled The [Park Assist can-
celed] message appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
IPA is canceled automatically if:
•The electric parking brake is applied
•Parking using IPA is no longer possible
•You are driving faster than 5 MPH (10
km/h)
•A wheel spins and VDC intervenes or fails.
Thewarning light lights up in the
combination meter. A warning tone sounds. The parking symbol
disappears and the vehicle information dis-
play shows the [Park Assist canceled] mes-
sage.
When IPA is canceled, you must steer again
yourself.
WARNING
•The sonar function is a convenience but
it is not a substitute for proper parking.
Always look around and check that it is
safe to do so before parking. Always
move slowly.
•Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar function as contained in this
section. Inclement weather may affect
the function of the sonar function; this
may include reduced performance or a
false activation.
•The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
•The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects that are too close to the bumper
or on the ground.
•Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
CAMERA AIDING SONAR (PARKING
SENSOR) FUNCTION (IF EQUIPPED)
5-76Starting and driving

•The system may not detect the follow-
ing objects: – Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,
cotton, grass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or
chain.
– Wedge-shaped objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system vol-
ume or an open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the tone and it may not be heard.
PROBLEMS WITH SONAR FUNCTION
Problem Possible causes/consequences and solutions
Only the red segments in the sonar function displays
are lit. You also hear a warning tone for approximately
two seconds.
The sonar function is then deactivated and the
indicator light on the sonar function OFF switch lights
up. The sonar function has malfunctioned and has been deactivated.
If problems persist, have the sonar function checked. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
Only the red segments in the sonar function displays
are lit. The sonar function is then deactivated. The sonar sensors are dirty or there is interference.
•Clean the sensors.•Switch the ignition back on.
The problem may be caused by an external source of radio or ultrasound waves.
See if the sonar system functions in a different location.
