2019 INFINITI QX60 display

∙ When dense exhaust or other smoke(black smoke) from vehicles reduces the
sensor’s detection
∙ When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
room of your vehicle
The DCA system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation. When the front
bumper area around the distance sensor is
covered with dirt or is obstructed, the system
will automatically cancel. If the front bumper
area of the distance sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the DCA system may not detect them. In
these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode may not cancel and may
not be able to maintain the selected following
distance from the vehicle ahead. Be sure to
check and clean the front bumper area
around the distance sensor regularly.
The DCA system is designed to help assist the
driver to maintain a following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The system will decelerate
as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes
to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. However, the DCA system can only ap-
ply up to 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. If a vehicle moves into the traveling
lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance between ve-
hicles may become closer because the DCA
system cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly
enough. If this occurs, the DCA system will
sound a warning chime and blink the system
display to notify the driver to take necessary
action.
For additional information, refer to “Ap-
proach warning” in this section.
This system only brakes and moves the accel-
erator pedal upward to help assist the driver
to maintain a following distance from the
vehicle ahead. Acceleration should be oper-
ated by the driver.
The DCA system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach sta-
tionary and slow moving vehicles. You must
pay attention to vehicle operation to main-
tain proper distance from vehicles ahead.
Starting and driving5-103

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.
DCA Detection Zones On Winding Roads
SSD0253
Starting and driving5-105

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 roadA. 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
driving position in the lane) or traffic or ve-
hicle 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 Drive Mode Selector switch is placed in the SNOW mode (To use the
DCA system, turn off the Drive Mode
Selector switch, then turn on the dynamic
driver assistance switch.)
For additional information about the
SNOW mode on the Drive Mode Selec-
tor switch, refer to “Snow mode” in this
section. ∙ When the VDC system is off (To use the
DCA 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 Drive Mode Selector switch
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.
