2022 INFINITI QX50 engine

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.
