comes excessively high, the cruise con-
trol system will be canceled
automatically.
. If the cruise indicator (green) blinks, turn
the cruise control main switch off and
have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
. The cruise indicator (green) may some-
times blink when the cruise control main
switch is turned ON while pushing the
ACCELERATE/RESUME, COAST/SET
or CANCEL switch. To properly set the
cruise control system, perform the steps
below in the order indicated.
WARNING

. 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.
CRUISE CONTROL (if so equipped)

.When the radar sensor area of the front
bumper is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed.
Action to take:
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever in
the P (Park) position and turn the engine off.
When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted, clean the sensor area of the front
bumper and restart the engine. If the warn-
ing message continues to be displayed, have
the ICC system checked. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
. When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next
to long walls)
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
