2022 INFINITI QX50 warning light

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 isrecommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
NOTE:
If the ICC system is temporarily unavailable,
the conventional cruise control mode may
still be used. For additional information, see
“Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode” (P. 5-100).
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.
• Do not attach metallic objects near the sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.
• Do not alter, remove, or paint the front bumper. Before customizing or restoring the front
bumper, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer.
The camera sensor is located above the in-
side mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the systems
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.

NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of firmly
grips) the steering wheel, the steering
torque sensor may not detect the driver’s
hand(s) on the steering wheel and a sequence
of warnings may occur. When the driver
holds and operates the steering wheel again,
the warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
WARNING
• In the following situations, the camera
may not detect lane markers correctly or
may detect lane markers incorrectly and
the Steering Assist may not operate
properly:
– When driving on roads where there
are multiple parallel lane markers,
lane markers that are faded or not
painted clearly, nonstandard lane
markers, or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– When driving on roads with discon-
tinued lane markers
– When driving on roads with a widen-
ing or narrowing lane width –
When driving on roads where there
are multiple lanes or unclear lane
markers due to road construction
– When driving on roads where there
are sharply contrasting objects, such
as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams, or lines remaining after road
repairs (the Steering Assist could de-
tect these items as lane markers)
– When driving on roads where the
traveling lane merges or separates
• Do not use the Steering Assist under the
following conditions because the system
may not properly detect lane markers.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

up by the wheels of other vehicles
– When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or an-
other object adheres to the camera
unit
– When the lens of the camera unit is
foggy
– When strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams from oncoming
vehicles) shines on the camera –
When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or the head-
lights are off in tunnels or darkness
– When a sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or is under a
bridge)
– When driving on roads where the
traveling lane merges or separates or
where there are temporary lane
markers because of road
construction
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs
– When driving on a bumpy road sur-
face, such as an uneven dirt road
– When driving on sharp curves or
winding roads
– When driving on repeated uphill and
downhill roads
• Do not use the Steering Assist under the
following conditions because the system
will not operate properly:
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (for ex-
ample, tire wear, abnormal tire pres-
sure, installation of a spare tire, tire

• When a vehicle ahead is no longer detected under approximately 37 mph (60 km/h)
Steering Assist cancel
Under the following conditions, the Steering
Assist cancels, and the Steering Assist status
indicator and the Steering Assist indicator
turn off: • When unusual lane markers appear in the
traveling 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)
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.

ing. Although the vehicle is still drivable under
5-98Starting and driving

To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET- switch and release it.
2. Push and hold the SET- switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows down
to the desired speed.
3. Push, then quickly release the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will decrease by about 1 mph (1
km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and release
the RES+ switch. The vehicle will resume the
last set cruising speed when the vehicle speed
is over 25 mph (40 km/h).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 to
the 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 re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
• Inclement weather or ultrasonic sources
such as an automatic car wash, a truck’s
compressed-air brakes or a pneumatic
drill may affect the function of the sys-
tem; this may include reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
• 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
O1lo-
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, see “Front and rear sonar system”
(P. 5-146).

SYSTEM OPERATION1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. FEB with Pedestrian Detection emer-gency warning indicator 3. FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
warning light
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
operates at speeds above approximately 3
mph (5 km/h). For the pedestrian detection
function, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system operates at speeds between 6 – 37
mph (10 – 60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB with Pedestrian Detection system will
firstly provide the warning to the driver by
flashing the vehicle ahead detection indicator
(yellow) in the vehicle information display and
providing an audible alert. If the driver applies
the brakes quickly and forcefully after the
warning, and the FEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system detects that there is still the
possibility of a forward collision, the system
will automatically increase the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the FEB with
Pedestrian Detection system issues the second
visual (flashing) (red and white) and audible
warning. If the driver releases the accelerator
pedal, then the system applies partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
FEB with Pedestrian Detection system applies
harder braking automatically.
While the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is operating, you may hear the sound
