Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn
off automatically. The system malfunction
warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system will also stop working.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the BSW sys-
tem are located near the rear bumper. Always
keep the area near the radar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tempo-
rary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer if the area around
the radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.

5-74Starting and driving

• If theindicator blinks, turn the Cruise
controlswitch off and have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
• The
indicator may sometimes blink
when the Cruise controlswitch is
turned on while pushing the RES+, SET– or
CANCEL switch. To properly set the cruise
control system, perform the steps below.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control 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.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the Cruise
control
switch on. Theindicator in
the vehicle information display will illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the SET– switch
and release it. The
indicator in the ve-
hicle information display will illuminate. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your ve-
hicle maintains the set speed.
• To pass another vehicle, depress the accel-
erator pedal. When you release the pedal,
the vehicle returns to the previously set
speed.
• The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods:
• Push the CANCEL switch; the
indica-
tor in the vehicle information display goes
out.
• Tap the brake pedal; the
indicator
goes out. • Push the Cruise control
switch off.
Theindicator in the vehicle informa-
tion display go out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled
and the
indicator in the vehicle informa-
tion display goes out if:
• You depress the brake pedal while pushing the RES+ or SET– switch. The preset speed
is deleted from memory.
• The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
• You move the shift lever to N (Neutral).
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods:
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the SET– switch.
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you desire, release
the switch.
• Push and release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed increases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
5-76Starting and driving

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 electronic parking brake is automati-
cally activated:
• Any door is open.
• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICCsystem for approximately 3 minutes or
longer.
• The shift lever is not in the D (Drive) posi- tion or manual shift mode.
• The VDC system is turned off.
• When distance measurement becomes im- paired due to adhesion of dirt or obstruc-
tion to the sensor.
• When the radar signal is temporarily interrupted.
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.
ICC sensor maintenance
The radar sensor is located on the front of the
vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the sensor area clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
• Do not attach a sticker (including transpar- ent material) or install an accessory near
the sensor. This could cause failure or
malfunction.
5-96Starting and driving

• When unusual lane markers appear in thetraveling lane or when the lane marker can-
not be correctly detected for some time due
to certain conditions (for example, a snow
rut, the reflection of light on a rainy day, the
presence of several unclear lane markers)
• When the windshield wiper operates in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steering As-
sist is disabled when the wiper operates for
more than approximately 10 seconds)
NOTE:
For vehicles with auto wipers, the wipers
may automatically switch to LO or HI. If the
auto wipers remain in LO or HI for longer
than 10 seconds, the steering assist will
cancel.
Action to take:
Turn the ICC system off using the CANCEL
switch. When the conditions listed above are
no longer present, turn the ICC system on
again.
Steering Assist malfunction
When the system malfunctions, it turns off
automatically. The Steering Assist status
warning illuminates (orange). A chime may
sound depending on the situation. Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off, restart the engine, resume driving,
and set the Intelligent Cruise Control system
again. If the warning (orange) continues to
illuminate, the Steering Assist is malfunction-
ing. Although the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, have the system checked.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
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 transpar-
ent 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
INFINITI retailer.
