In the following conditions, the FEB with Pe-
destrian Detection system warning light will
illuminate, the system will be turned off au-
tomatically and the “Unavailable: Front Radar
Blocked” warning message will appear 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.
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next to
long walls). Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB with pedestrian detection system
will resume automatically.
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

FCC Notice
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the PFCW system
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The PFCW system can help warn thedriver before a collision occurs but will
not avoid a collision. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility 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. The PFCW system uses a radar sensor
A
located on the front of the vehicle to measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.

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 ve-hicles under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensor does not detect the fol- lowing 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 conditions:
– Snow or heavy rain. – Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-
ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel.
– (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is being towed.
Illustration B

5-164Starting and driving

– (Illustration C) When the distance tothe 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 automatically check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,
etc. 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.
