2018 INFINITI QX30 sensor

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.

•Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not de-
tect a vehicle ahead.
•In some road or traffic conditions, a ve-
hicle or object can unexpectedly come
into the sensor detection zone and cause
automatic braking. You may need to
control the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Always stay
alert and avoid using the ICC system
when it is not recommended in this sec-
tion.
•The distance sensor will not detect the
following objects: – Stationary and slow moving vehicles.
– Pedestrians or objects in the road-
way.
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
– Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane.
The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot properly detect a vehicle
ahead and the system may not operate prop-
erly:
•When the snow or road spray from travel-
ing vehicles reduces the sensor’s visibility.
•When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage room
of your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation within the limi-
tation of the system. When the sensor is cov-
ered with dirt or is obstructed, the system will
automatically be canceled. If the sensor is
covered with ice, a transparent or translucent
vinyl bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect
them. In these instances, the ICC system may
not cancel and may not be able to maintain
the selected following distance from the ve-
hicle ahead. Be sure to check and clean the
sensor regularly.
TIPS FOR DRIVING WITH THE ICC
SYSTEM
General notes
The following contains descriptions of cer-
tain road and traffic conditions in which you
must be particularly attentive. In such situa-
tions, brake if necessary. The ICC system is
then deactivated

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the ICC systemAis located
behind the INFINITI logo at the front of the
vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
•Always keep area around the sensor clean.
•Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor. Do not touch or remove the
screw located on the sensor. Doing so
could cause failure or malfunction. If the
sensor is damaged due to an accident, it is
recommended you contact an INFINITI re-
tailer.
•Do not cover or attach stickers (including
transparent material) or install an acces-
sory near the sensor. This could cause fail-
ure or malfunction.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the FEB system
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
•The FEB system is a supplemental aid to
the driver. It is not a replacement for the
driver’s attention to traffic conditions
or responsibility to drive safely. It can-
not prevent accidents due to careless-
ness or dangerous driving techniques.
•The FEB system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The FEB system can assist the driver when
there is a risk of a forward collision with the
vehicle ahead in the traveling lane. The FEB system uses a radar sensorAlo-
cated behind the INFINITI logo to measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the trav-
eling lane.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING
(FEB) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Starting and driving5-63

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.

hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
•The FEB system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
•The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects: – Pedestrians or animals
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance
limitations. For stationary vehicles, the
FEB system will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds over: –
Approximately 31 MPH (50 km/h) for
the Autonomous braking function.
•The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions: – Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-
ering the radar sensor. –
Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or heavy rain.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g.
motorcycle).
– If the vehicle ahead is in a different
lane.

of the FEB system. For additional in-
formation, see "Break-in schedule"
later in this section
– When driving on a steep downhill
slope or roads with sharp curves.
– When towing a trailer.
•In some road or traffic conditions, the
FEB system may intervene unnecessar-
ily or give an unnecessary warning. Al-
ways pay careful attention to the traffic
situation. Do not rely solely on the dis-
tance warning function and terminate
the intervention if necessary.
•Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.
