NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound and
the system display may blink when ICC sen-
sor detects vehicles in other lanes
Aor ob-
jects on the side of the road
A. This may
cause the DCA system to operate inappro-
priately. The ICC sensor may detect these
objects when the vehicle is driven on winding
roads, narrow roads, hilly roads or when en-
tering or exiting a curve. In these cases you
will have to manually control the proper dis-
tance ahead of your vehicle. 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).
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Under the following conditions, the DCA sys-
tem will not operate and the DCA cancella-
tion message will pop up:
∙ When the SNOW mode switch is on (To use the DCA system, turn off the SNOW
mode switch, then turn on the dynamic
driver assistance switch.)
For additional information about the
SNOW mode switch, refer to “Snow
mode” in this section.

the dynamic driver assistance switch.)
For additional information about the
VDC system, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” in this section.
∙ When ABS or VDC (including the TCS) is operating
When the Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode is operating, the DCA system
will not operate. (To use the DCA system,
turn the Conventional [fixed speed] cruise
control mode off, then push the dynamic
driver assistance switch.)
For additional information about the Con-
ventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode,
refer to “Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)” in
this section.
When the engine is turned off, the system is
automatically turned off.

FEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system.
Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could result
in serious injury or death.
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem cannot detect all vehicles or pedes-
trians under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensor FEB with Pedestrian Detection system does not detect the
following objects:
– Small pedestrians (including small children), animals and cyclists. – Pedestrians in wheelchairs or using
mobile transport such as scooters,
child-operated toys, or skateboards.
– Pedestrians who are seated or other- wise not in a full upright standing or
walking position.
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
– Obstacles on the roadside
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem has some performance limitations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the FEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds over ap-
proximately 50 mph (80 km/h).
– For pedestrian detection, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system will
not function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 37 mph
(60 km/h) or below approximately
6 mph (10km/h).
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem will not function for pedestrians in
darkness or in tunnels, even if there is
street lighting in the area. ∙ For pedestrians, the FEB with Pedestrian
Detection system will not issue the first
warning and will not push the accelerator
pedal up.
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem may not function if the vehicle ahead
is narrow (for example, a motorcycle).
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem may not function if speed difference
between the two vehicles is too small.
∙ The radar sensor FEB with Pedestrian Detection system may not function prop-
erly or detect a vehicle ahead in the fol-
lowing conditions:
– Poor visibility (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms,
and road spray from other vehicles).
– Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
– Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road.
– If dirt, ice, snow or other material is covering the radar sensor area.
– Interference by other radar sources.

NOTE:
When the inside of the windshield or camera
area is misted or frozen, it will take a period
of time to remove it after A/C turns ON. If
dirt appears on this area, visit an INFINITI
retailer.
Condition B:
In the following conditions, the FEB with Pe-
destrian Detection system warning light will
illuminate and the system will be turned off
automatically and the “Unavailable: Front
Radar Obstruction” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.∙ The sensor area of the front bumper is covered with dirt or is obstructed.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever
in the P (Park) position and turn the engine
off. Clean the radar sensor area of the front
bumper or the camera area of the windshield
with a soft cloth, and restart the engine. If the
warning light continues to illuminate, have
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. NOTE:
If the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
stops working, the PFCW system (if so
equipped) will also stop working.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
malfunctions, it will be turned off automati-
cally, a chime will sound, the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system warning light (orange)
will illuminate and the warning message
[Malfunction] will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe location, turn the engine
off and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the FEB with
Pedestrian Detection system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
