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).

REAR AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)
Starting and driving5-103

•When the vehicle approaches an ob-
stacle while the accelerator or brake
pedal is depressed, the function may not
operate or the start of operation may be
delayed. The RAB system may not oper-
ate or may not perform sufficiently due
to vehicle conditions, driving conditions,
the traffic environment, the weather,
road surface conditions, etc. Do not wait
for the system to operate. Operate the
brake pedal by yourself as soon as
necessary.
• If it is necessary to override RAB opera-
tion, strongly press the accelerator
pedal.
• Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you before
and while backing up. The RAB system
detects stationary objects behind the
vehicle. The RAB system does not detect
the following objects:
– Moving objects
– Low objects
– Narrow objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Objects close to the bumper (less than
approximately 1 ft [30 cm])
– Objects that suddenly appear –
Thin objects such as rope, wire, chain,
etc.
• The RAB system may not operate for the
following obstacles:
– Obstacles located high off the ground
– Obstacles in a position offset from
your vehicle
– Obstacles, such as spongy materials
or snow, that have soft outer sur-
faces and can easily absorb a sound
wave
• The RAB system may not operate in the
following conditions:
– There is rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc., at-
tached to the sonar sensors.
– A loud sound is heard in the area
around the vehicle.
– The surface of the obstacle is diago-
nal to the rear of the vehicle.
• The RAB system may unintentionally op-
erate in the following conditions:
– There is overgrown grass in the area
around the vehicle.
– There is a structure (e.g., a wall, toll
gate equipment, a narrow tunnel, a
parking lot gate) near the side of the
vehicle. –
There are bumps, protrusions, or
manhole covers on the road surface.
– The vehicle drives through a draped
flag or a curtain.
– There is an accumulation of snow or
ice behind the vehicle.
– An ultrasonic wave source, such as
another vehicle’s sonar, is near the
vehicle.
• Once the automatic brake control oper-
ates, it does not operate again if the ve-
hicle approaches the same obstacle.
• The automatic brake control can only
operate for a short period of time. There-
fore, the driver must depress the brake
pedal.
• In the following situations, the RAB sys-
tem may not operate properly or may not
function sufficiently:
– The vehicle is driven in bad weather
(rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
– The vehicle’s posture is changed (e.g.,
when driving over a bump).
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
– The vehicle is turned sharply by turn-
ing the steering wheel fully.
5-106Starting and driving

–Snow chains are used.
– Wheels or tires other than INFINITI
recommended are used.
– The brakes are cold at low ambient
temperatures or immediately after
driving has started.
– The braking force becomes poor due
to wet brakes after driving through a
puddle or washing the vehicle.
• Turn the RAB system off in the following
conditions to prevent the occurrence of
an unexpected accident resulting from
sudden system operation:
– The vehicle is towed.
– The vehicle is carried on a flatbed
truck.
– The vehicle is on the chassis
dynamometer.
– The vehicle drives on an uneven road
surface.
– Suspension parts other than those
designated as Genuine INFINITI
parts are used. (If the vehicle height
or the vehicle body inclination is
changed, the system may not detect
an obstacle correctly.)
– The vehicle is towing an object (if so
equipped). –
If a vehicle is using an accessory like a
bike rack, or cargo carrier that blocks
the sensors.
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system vol-
ume, an open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may not
be heard.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB system
warning light will illuminate, and the “System
fault” warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
Action to take
If the warning light illuminates, park the ve-
hicle in a safe location, turn the engine off,
and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the RAB system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
NOTE:
If the RAB system cannot be operated tem-
porarily, the RAB system warning light
blinks.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Observe the following items to ensure proper
operation of the system:
• Always keep the parking sensors
O1clean.
• If the parking sensors are dirty, wipe them off with a soft cloth while being careful to
not damage them.
• Do not subject the area around the parking sensors
O1to strong impact. Also, do not
remove or disassemble the parking sensors.
If the parking sensors and peripheral areas
are deformed in an accident, etc., have the
sensors checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

This may cause a malfunction or improper
operation.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem is a supplemental aid to the driver. It
is not a replacement for the driver’s at-
tention to traffic conditions or responsi-
bility to drive safely. It cannot prevent
accidents due to carelessness or danger-
ous driving techniques.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem does not function in all driving, traf-
fic, weather and road conditions.
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of a
forward collision with the vehicle ahead in the
traveling lane or with a pedestrian ahead in
the traveling lane. The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
uses a radar sensor
OAlocated on the front of
the vehicle to measure the distance to the
vehicle ahead in the same lane. For pedestri-
ans, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem uses a camera
OBinstalled behind the
windshield in addition to the radar sensor.
