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
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.

retailer for this service.
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

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RAB system
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The RAB system is a supplemental aid tothe driver. It is not a replacement for
proper driving procedures. Always use
the side and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will move before
and while backing up. Never rely solely on
the RAB system. It is the driver’s respon-
sibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be
in control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ There is a limitation to the RAB system capability. The RAB system is not effec-
tive in all situations.
The RAB system can assist the driver when
the vehicle is backing up and approaching
objects directly behind the vehicle. The RAB system detects obstacles behind
the vehicle using the parking sensors
1lo-
cated on the rear bumper.
NOTE:
You can temporarily cancel the sonar func-
tion in the vehicle, but the RAB system will
continue to operate. For additional informa-
tion, please refer to “Front and rear sonar
system” in this section.

∙ Do not subject the area around the park-ing sensors
1to strong impact. Also, do
not remove or disassemble the parking
sensors. If the parking sensors and pe-
ripheral areas are deformed in an acci-
dent, etc., have the sensors checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
∙ Do not install any stickers (including transparent stickers) or accessories on
the parking sensors
1and their sur-
rounding areas. This may cause a mal-
function or improper operation.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem is a supplemental aid to the driver. It
is not a replacement for the driver’s at-
tention to traffic conditions or responsi-
bility to drive safely. It cannot prevent
accidents due to carelessness or danger-
ous driving techniques.
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem does not function in all driving, traf-
fic, weather and road conditions.
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of a
forward collision with the vehicle ahead in the
traveling lane or with a pedestrian ahead in
the traveling lane. The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
uses a radar sensor
Alocated on the front of
the vehicle to measure the distance to the
vehicle ahead in the same lane. For pedestri-
ans, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem uses a camera
Binstalled behind the
windshield in addition to the radar sensor.

TYPE
WARNING
∙ If the engine is not running or is turned offwhile driving, the power assist for the
steering will not work. Steering will be
harder to operate.
∙ When the power steering warning light illuminates with the engine running,
there will be no power assist for the
steering. You will still have control of the
vehicle, but the steering will be harder to
operate. Have the power steering system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
The power steering system is designed to
provide power assist while driving to operate
the steering wheel with light force.
When the steering wheel is operated repeat-
edly or continuously while parking or driving
at a very low speed, the power assist for the
steering wheel will be reduced. This is to pre-
vent overheating of the power steering sys-
tem and protect it from getting damaged.
While the power assist is reduced, steering
wheel operation will become heavy. When
the temperature of the power steering sys-
tem goes down, the power assist level will return to normal. Avoid repeating such steer-
ing wheel operations that could cause the
power steering system to overheat.
You may hear a sound when the steering
wheel is operated quickly. However, this is
not a malfunction.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate the power steering system is not func-
tioning properly and may need servicing.
Have the power steering system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, there will be
no power assist for the steering, but you will
still have control of the vehicle. At this time,
greater steering effort is required to operate
the steering wheel, especially in sharp turns
and at low speeds.
For additional information, refer to “Power
steering warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
