2020 INFINITI QX50 display

When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by the driver,
from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead
changes lanes or exits the freeway, the ICC
system accelerates and maintains the speed
up to the set speed. Pay attention to the
driving operation to maintain control of the
vehicle as it accelerates to the set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
on winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you
will have to manually control the vehicle
speed.Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, the system automatically ac-
celerates or decelerates your vehicle accord-
ing to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly acceler-
ate your vehicle when acceleration is required
for a lane change. Depress the brake pedal
when deceleration is required to maintain a
safe distance to the vehicle ahead due to
sudden braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always
stay alert when using the ICC system.
No vehicle detected ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, similar to
standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle
is detected in the lane ahead. The ICC system
displays the set speed.

Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the
brakes to match the speed of a slower vehicle
ahead. The ICC system then controls the ve-
hicle speed based on the speed of the vehicle
ahead to maintain the driver selected dis-
tance.
NOTE:∙ The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system. ∙
When the brake is applied by the system,
a noise may be heard. This is not a mal-
function.
When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indicator
and the speed control status indicator (dis-
tance control mode) illuminates (solid
green
).
Vehicle ahead stops
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to stop,
your vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the system capability. Once your vehicle
stops, the ICC system automatically applies
the brakes to keep the vehicle stopped. When
your vehicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+)
Press to start” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display.
NOTE:
When your vehicle stops for less than 3 sec-
onds, your vehicle will automatically follow
the vehicle as it accelerates from a stop.
Vehicle ahead accelerates
When your vehicle is stopped and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the RES+
switch or lightly depress the accelerator
pedal. The ICC system starts to follow the
vehicle ahead. Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead,
the ICC system gradually accelerates your
vehicle to resume the previously set vehicle
speed. The ICC system then maintains the set
speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off
and speed control status indicator (maintain
speed control mode) illuminates (green
outline
).
The ICC system gradually accelerates to the
set speed, but you can depress the accelera-
tor pedal to quickly accelerate. When a ve-
hicle is no longer detected and your vehicle is
traveling under approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h), the ICC system automatically can-
cels.

When passing another vehicle, the set speed
indicator
Bflashes when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle ahead
detection indicator turns off when the area
ahead of the vehicle is open. When the pedal
is released, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed. Even though your vehicle
speed is set in the ICC system, you can de-
press the accelerator pedal when it is neces-
sary to accelerate your vehicle rapidly.
Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may inform
the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead de-
tection indicator.
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 ICC sys-
tem display. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:
∙ The chime sounds.
∙ The vehicle ahead detection indicator and set distance indicator blink.
∙ You judge it necessary to maintain a safe distance.
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 other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
∙ The accelerator pedal is depressed, over- riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound and
the system display may flash when the radar
sensor detects objects on the side of the ve-
hicle or on the side of the road. This may
cause the ICC system to decelerate or accel-
erate the vehicle. The radar sensor may de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is driven
on winding, narrow, or hilly roads or when
the vehicle is entering or exiting a curve. In
these cases, you will have to manually con-
trol the proper distance ahead of your ve-
hicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or ve-
hicle conditions (for example, if a vehicle is
being driven with some damage).

struction to the sensor.
∙ When the radar signal is temporarily in- terrupted.
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no lon-
ger present, turn the system off using the
ProPILOT Assist switch. Turn the ProPILOT
Assist system back on to use the system.
NOTE:
When the ICC system is canceled under the
following conditions at a standstill, the elec-
tronic parking brake is automatically acti-
vated: ∙ Any door is open.
∙ The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
∙ Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC
system for approximately 3 minutes or
longer.
∙ The shift lever is not in the D (Drive) po-
sition or manual shift mode.
∙ The VDC system is turned off. ∙
When distance measurement becomes
impaired due to adhesion of dirt or ob-
struction to the sensor.
∙ When the radar signal is temporarily in-
terrupted.
Condition B
When the radar sensor of the front bumper is
covered with dirt or is obstructed, the ICC
system will automatically be canceled.
The chime will sound and the “Unavailable:
Front Radar Blocked” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, press the Park button
to place the vehicle in the P (Park) position,
and turn the engine off. When the radar sig-
nal is temporarily interrupted, clean the sen-
sor area of the front bumper and restart the
engine. If the “Unavailable: Front Radar
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
system warning light and display the “Un-
available: Front Radar Blocked” message.
Action to take:
When the above driving conditions no longer
exist, turn the system back on.
ICC system malfunction
If the ICC system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound,
and the speed control status warning (or-
ange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, stop the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart
the engine and set the ICC system again. If it
is not possible to set the ICC system or the
indicator stays on, it may be a malfunction.
Although the normal driving can be contin-
ued, the ICC system should be inspected. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
5-122Starting and driving

∙ It is the driver’s responsibility to stayalert, 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.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the Steering Assist. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the Steering Assist.
To avoid serious injury or death, do not
rely on the system to prevent accidents
or to control the vehicle’s speed in emer-
gency situations. Do not use the Steering
Assist except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.
Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering sys-
tem to help keep your vehicle near the center
of the lane when driving. The Steering Assist
is combined with the Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC) system. For additional information,
refer to “Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (with
ProPILOT Assist)” in this section. The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
∙ The ICC system is activated.
∙ Lane markers on both sides are clearly detected.
∙ A vehicle ahead is detected (when the vehicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph
[60 km/h])
∙ The driver grips the steering wheel.
∙ The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.
∙ The turn signals are not operated.
∙ The windshield wiper is not operated in the high (HI) speed operation (the steer-
ing assist function is disabled after the
wiper operates for approximately
10 seconds).

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.

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.
