JVS0211X
When passing another vehicle,the set speed
indicator will flash when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle detect
indicator will turn off when the area ahead
of the vehicle is open. When the pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the
previously set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in the
ICC system, you can depress the accelerator
pedal when it is necessary to accelerate your
vehicle rapidly.
How to change the set vehicle
speed
To cancel the preset speed,use any of these
methods:
.Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
.Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
.Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the
Intelligent Cruise Control system set
indicator (green) and set vehicle speed
indicator will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed,use one
of the following methods:
.Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET/COAST (-) switch.
.Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELER-
ATE (+) switch. The set vehicle speed will
increase by approximately 5 MPH (5
km/h for Canada).
.Push, then quickly release the RESUME/
ACCELERATE (+) switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h for Ca-
nada).
To reset at a slower cruising speed,use one
of the following methods:
.Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, pushthe SET/COAST (-) switch and release it.
.Push and hold the SET/COAST (-)
switch. The set vehicle speed will de-
crease by approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h
for Canada).
.Push, then quickly release the SET/
COAST (-) switch. Each time you do this,
the set speed will decrease by approxi-
mately 1 MPH (1 km/h for Canada).
To resume the preset speed,push and
release the RESUME/ACCELERATE (+)
switch. The vehicle will resume the last set
cruising speed when the vehicle speed is over
20 MPH (32 km/h).

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)
cruise control 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 dis-
tance is detected.
.Pay special attention to the distance
between 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 condi-
tions:
— when it is not possible to keep the
vehicle 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
control and result in an accident.

Operating conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To turn on the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode,push and hold the
MAIN switch
for longer than about 1.5
seconds.
When pushing the MAIN switch on, the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode display and indicators are displayed

To turn on the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, turn off the DCA
system. See “Distance Control Assist
(DCA)” (P.5-92).
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise
control, make sure to turn the MAIN
switch off when not using the ICC
system.

System temporarily unavailable
A chime sounds under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed.
.When the vehicle slows down more than
8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed
.When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
or manual shift mode
.When the parking brake is applied.

Warning
When the system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the color of the cruise
indicator will change to orange.
Action to take:
If the color of the cruise indicator changes to
orange, stop the vehicle in a safe place and
place the shift lever in the P (Park) position.
Turn the engine off, restart the engine,
resume driving and then perform the setting
again.
If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system is
malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is still
driveable under normal conditions, have thevehicle checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.

(brake operation is necessary)
The DCA system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accelera-
tor pedal upward in the normal driving
condition.
When a vehicle ahead is detected:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator ap-
pears.When the vehicle approaches a vehicle
ahead:
.If the driver’s foot is not on the accel-
erator pedal, the system activates the
brakes to decelerate smoothly as neces-
sary. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still within the limitations of the system.
.If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by the driver is
required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detec-tion indicator. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal after the warning, the
system moves the accelerator pedal upward
to assist the driver to switch to the brake
pedal.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
.When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operation overrides
the system operation.
.When the driver depresses the accelera-
tor pedal even further while the system is
moving the accelerator pedal upward,
the DCA system control of the accel-
erator pedal is canceled.
.When the driver’s foot is on the accel-
erator pedal, the brake control by the
system is not operated.
.When the driver’s foot is on the brake
pedal, neither the brake control nor the
alert by the system operates.
.When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system is set, the DCA system will be
inactive.
