2018 INFINITI QX60 Owners Manual

DCA DRIVING SITUATIONS
The detection zone of the sensor is limited. A
vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone
for the system to operate.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the
detection zone due to its position within the
same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be
detected in the same lane ahead if they are
traveling offset from the center line of the
lane. A vehicle that is entering the lane ahead
may not be detected until the vehicle has
completely moved into the lane.If this occurs, the system may warn you by
blinking the system indicator and sounding
the chime. The driver may have to manually
control the proper distance away from the
vehicle traveling ahead.
DCA Detection Zone
SSD0252
5-106Starting and driving

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the sensor may
detect vehicles in a different lane, or may
temporarily not detect a vehicle traveling
ahead. This may cause the system to work
inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering maneu-
ver or traveling position in the lane, etc.) or
vehicle condition.If this occurs, the 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.
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 DCA
system display. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance 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 between
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 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 se- lected by using the INFINITI Drive Mode
Selector (To use the DCA system, turn off
the SNOW mode, then turn on the dy-
namic driver assistance switch.)
For additional information about the
SNOW mode switch, refer to “Snow
mode” in this section.

∙ When the VDC system is off (To use theDCA system, turn on the VDC, then push
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.

Automatic cancellation
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the DCA sys-
tem is automatically canceled. The chime will
sound and the DCA cancellation message will
display. ∙ When the VDC system is turned off
∙ When the VDC or ABS operates
∙ When SNOW mode is selected by using
the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no lon-
ger present, turn the system off with the
dynamic driver assistance switch. Turn the
DCA system back on to use the system.

Condition B:
When the sensor area of the front bumper is
dirty, making it impossible to detect a vehicle
ahead, the DCA system is automatically can-
celed.
The chime sounds and the system warning
light (orange) will come on and the “Unavail-
able: Front Radar Obstruction” indicator will
appear.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle
in a safe place, turn the engine off. Clean the
sensor area of the bumper and then perform
the settings again.Condition C:
When the DCA system is not operating prop-
erly, the chime sounds and the system warn-
ing light (“DCA” orange) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart
the engine, and turn on the DCA system
again.If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the
system is malfunctioning. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal conditions,
have the vehicle checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the DCA system is common
with ICC and is located behind the front bum-
per.

gent Cruise Control (ICC)” in this section.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-tem is a supplemental aid to the driver. It
is not a replacement for the driver’s at-
tention to traffic conditions or responsi-
bility to drive safely. It cannot prevent
accidents due to carelessness or danger-
ous driving techniques.
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem does not function in all driving, traf-
fic, weather and road conditions.
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of a
forward collision with the vehicle ahead in the
traveling lane or with a pedestrian. The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
uses a radar sensor
Alocated behind the
lower grille of the front bumper to measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane. For pedestrians, the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system uses a camera
Bin-
stalled behind the windshield in addition to
the radar sensor.

DETECTION SYSTEM (if so equipped)
5-112Starting and driving

1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. FEB with Pedestrian Detection emer-gency warning indicator
3. FEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light
SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
operates at speeds above approximately
5 km/h (3 mph). For the Pedestrian Detection
function, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system operates at speeds between 10 –
60 km/h (6 – 37 mph).
If a risk of a forward collision with a vehicle is
detected, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system will first provide a warning to the
driver by flashing the vehicle ahead detection
indicator and providing an audible alert. In
addition, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system pushes the accelerator pedal up, and
then the system applies partial braking. If the
driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully, but the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system detects that there is still the possibility
of a forward collision, the system will auto-
matically increase the braking force.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent
and the driver does not take action, the FEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues the
