Starting and driving5-127

To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:∙ Always keep the sensor area clean.
∙ Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensor.
∙ Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure
or malfunction.
∙ Do not attach metallic objects near the sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.
∙ Do not alter, remove, or paint the front bumper.
Before customizing or restoring the front
bumper, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer.
The camera sensor is located above the in-
side mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the systems
and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to
observe the following: ∙ Always keep the windshield clean.
∙ Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit. ∙ Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
∙ Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit.
If the camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit an

STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the Steering Assist
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The Steering Assist is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to correct careless, inattentive
or absent-minded driving. The Steering
Assist will not always steer the vehicle to
keep it in the lane. It is not designed to
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all times. ∙ As there is a performance limit to the
Steering Assist’s capability, never rely
solely on the system. The Steering Assist
does not function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. Always
drive safely, pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle, and manually control
your vehicle appropriately.
∙ The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed freeways or highways
with gentle (moderate) curves. To avoid
risk of an accident, do not use this system
on local or non-highway roads.
∙ The Steering Assist only steers the ve- hicle to maintain its position in the center
of a lane. The vehicle will not steer to
avoid objects in the road in front of the
vehicle or to avoid a vehicle moving into
your lane.
∙ It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the
traveling lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times. Never take your
hands off the steering wheel when driv-
ing. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your vehicle
safely.
5-128Starting and driving

Hands on detection
When the Steering Assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel opera-
tion.
If the steering wheel is not operated or the
driver takes his/her hands off the steering
wheel for a period of time, the warning (1)
appears in the vehicle information display.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been displayed,
an audible alert sounds and the warning
flashes in the vehicle information display, fol-
lowed by a quick brake application to request
the driver to take control of the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the ProPI-
LOT Assist turns on the hazard flasher and
slows the vehicle to a complete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at any
time by steering, braking, accelerating, or op-
erating the ProPILOT Assist switch.
WARNING
Steering Assist is not a system for a hands-
free driving. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your vehicle safely.
Failure to do so could cause a collision result-
ing in serious personal injury or death.

cannot be correctly detected for some
time due to certain conditions (for ex-
ample, a snow rut, the reflection of light
on a rainy day, the presence of several
unclear lane markers)
∙ When the windshield wiper operates in the low (LO) or high (HI) speed operation
(the Steering Assist is disabled when the
wiper operates for more than approxi-
mately 10 seconds)

CRUISE CONTROL MODE
NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steering as-
sist in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode.
This mode allows driving at a speed between
25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
∙ In the conventional (fixed speed) cruisecontrol mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence
of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.
∙ Pay special attention to the distance be- tween your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
of you or a collision could occur.
∙ Always confirm the setting in the ICC system display. ∙ Do not use the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode when driving under
the following conditions:
– When it is not possible to keep the ve- hicle at 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.
