2019 INFINITI Q60 COUPE Owner's Manual

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the PFCW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The PFCW system helps warn the
driver before a collision but will not
avoid a collision. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead
in the same lane.
JVS0869X
The PFCW system uses a radar sensorlocated behind the grille of the front bumper
to measure the distance to a second vehicle
ahead in the same lane.

PFCW SYSTEM OPERATION
The PFCW system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h).
If there is a potential risk of a forward
collision, the PFCW system will warn the
driver by blinking the driver assist system
forward indicator and the vehicle ahead
detection indicator, and sounding an audible
alert.

PFCW system on or off.
1. Push the MENU button
and touch
[Driver Assistance] on the lower display
.
2. Touch [Emergency Assist].
3. Touch [Forward emergency braking] to turn the system ON/OFF.
When the PFCW system is turned off, the
FEB system warning light (orange)
illumi-
nates.
NOTE:
The PFCW system is integrated into the
FEB with pedestrian detection system.
There is not a separate selection in the
display for the PFCW system. When the
FEB with pedestrian detection system is
turned off, the PFCW system is also turned
off.

PFCW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the PFCW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.The PFCW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects: — Pedestrians, animals or obstacles
in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
. (Illustration A) The PFCW system
does not function when a vehicle
ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as a
motorcycle.
. The radar sensor may not detect a
vehicle ahead in the following condi-
tions:
— Snow or heavy rain — Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor
— Interference by other radar sources
— Snow or road spray from travel- ling vehicles.
— Driving in a tunnel
— (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is being towed.
— (Illustration C) When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close,
the beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
— (Illustration D) When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.
. The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s functionality,
within certain limitations. The system
may not detect some forms of ob-
struction of the sensor area such as
ice, snow, stickers, for example. In
these cases, the system may not be
able to warn the driver properly. Be
sure that you check, clean and clear
the sensor area regularly.
. Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime

may not be heard.
SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a vehicle
traveling ahead. This may cause the PFCW
system to work inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering man-
euver 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 unexpect-
edly. You will have to manually control the
proper distance away from the vehicle
traveling ahead.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE
Condition A
When the radar sensor picks up interference
from another radar source, making it im-
possible to detect a vehicle ahead, the
PFCW system is automatically turned off.
The FEB system warning light (orange)
and the driver assist system forward indi-
cator (orange)will illuminate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the PFCW system will resume automatically.
Condition B
Under the following conditions, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the
PFCW system is automatically turned off.
The FEB system warning light (orange)
and the driver assist system forward indi-
cator (orange)will illuminate and the
“front radar obstruction” warning message
will appear in the vehicle information display.
