INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist)
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 recommended for
highway use only and it is not intended
for city driving. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ There are limitations to the ICC system capability. The ICC system does not func-
tion in all driving, traffic, weather, and
road conditions. It is the driver’s respon-
sibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ The ICC system does not react to sta- tionary and slow moving vehicles.
∙ 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.

Blocked” warning message continues to be
displayed, have the system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. Condition C
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next to
long walls), the system may illuminate the

Steering Assist maintenance
The camera sensor is located above the in-
side mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the system
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
