∙ If the engine coolant temperature be-comes excessively high, the cruise control
system will be canceled automatically.
∙ If the SET indicator blinks, turn the ON/OFF switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ The SET indicator may sometimes blink when the ON/OFF switch is turned on
while pushing the ACCEL/RES,
COAST/SET or CANCEL switch. To
properly set the cruise control system,
perform the steps below.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:
∙ when it is not possible to keep the vehicleat a set speed
∙ in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
∙ on winding or hilly roads
∙ on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
∙ in very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 40 - 144 km/h (25 - 89 mph) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON/OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator
light in the vehicle information display will
illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET
switch and release it. The SET indicator light
in the vehicle information display will illumi-
nate. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. Your vehicle maintains the set speed.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills.
If this happens, drive without the cruise
control. To cancel the preset speed,
use one of the
following three methods:
∙ Push the CANCEL switch; the SET indi- cator light in the vehicle information dis-
play goes out.
∙ Tap the brake pedal; the SET indicator light goes out.
∙ Push the ON/OFF switch off. Both the CRUISE indicator light and SET indicator
light in the vehicle information display go
out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled
and the SET light in the vehicle information
display goes out if: ∙ You depress the brake pedal while push- ing the ACCEL/RES or SET/COAST
switch. The preset speed is deleted from
memory.
∙ The vehicle slows down more than 13 km/h (8 mph) below the set speed.
∙ You move the shift lever to N (Neutral).
Starting and driving5-77
To reset at a faster cruising speed,use one of
the following three methods:
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the COAST/SET switch.
∙ Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you
desire, release the switch.
∙ Push and release the ACCEL/RES switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed increases by about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
∙ Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the COAST/SET switch and release it.
∙ Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Release the switch when the vehicle
slows to the desired speed.
∙ Push and release the COAST/SET switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed decreases by about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph). To resume the preset speed,
push and re-
lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle
returns to the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 40 km/h (25 mph).WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ICC system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The ICC 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.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ICC system. Read and un-
derstand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not rely
on the system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.

Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart
the engine and resume driving.
If the indicator stays on, it may indicate that

NOTE:∙ The stoplights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC

∙ When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and
selected distance.
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 detection indicator 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.

ICC SYSTEM 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.
∙ The ICC system is primarily intended foruse on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the ICC
system in city traffic or congested areas. ∙ The ICC 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 dis-
tance control function, never rely solely
on the ICC system. This system does not
correct careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome poor visibil-
ity in rain, fog, or other bad weather. De-
celerate the vehicle speed by depressing
the brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the sur-
rounding circumstances in order to main-
tain a safe distance between vehicles.
∙ If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. The system
will cancel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and sound a
warning chime. To prevent the vehicle
from moving, the driver must depress the
brake pedal.
∙ Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manually con-
trol the proper following distance. The
ICC system may not be able to maintain
the selected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected vehicle
speed under some circumstances.

The stoplights of the vehicle come on when
braking is performed by the DCA system.
When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
WARNING
∙ When the vehicle ahead detection indica-tor light is not illuminated, the system
will not control or warn the driver.
∙ Depending on the position of the accel- erator pedal, the system may not be able
to assist the driver to release the accel-
erator pedal appropriately.
∙ If the vehicle ahead comes to a standstill, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The
system will release brake control with a
warning chime once it judges the vehicle
is at a standstill. To prevent the vehicle
from moving, the driver must depress the
brake pedal. (The system will resume
control automatically once the system
reaches 5 km/h [3 mph]). Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operations override the
system operation.
∙ When the driver depresses the accelera- tor pedal even further while the system is
moving the accelerator pedal upward,
the DCA system control of the accelera-
tor pedal is canceled.
∙ When the driver’s foot is on the accelera- tor pedal, the brake control by the system
is not operated.
∙ When the driver’s foot is on the brake pedal, neither the brake control nor the
alert by the system operates.
∙ When the ICC system is set, the DCA system will be canceled.
