Hands on detection
When the Steering Assist is activated, it moni-
tors the driver’s steering wheel operation.
If the steering wheel is not operated or the
driver takes his/her hands off the steering
wheel for a period of time, the warning (1)
appears in the vehicle information display.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been displayed,
an audible alert sounds and the warning
flashes in the vehicle information display, fol-
lowed by a quick brake application to request
the driver to take control of the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the Pro-
PILOT Assist turns on the hazard flasher and
slows the vehicle to a complete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerating, or
operating the ProPILOT Assist switch.
WARNING
Steering Assist is not a system for a hands-
free driving. Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel and drive your vehicle
safely. Failure to do so could cause a colli-
sion resulting in serious personal injury or
death.

blades must be used to help make sure
the windshield is kept clean. Only use
Genuine INFINITI wiper blades, or
equivalent wiper blades, that are specifi-
cally designed for use on your vehicle
model and model year. It is recommended
that you visit your INFINITI retailer for
the correct parts for your vehicle.Steering Assist temporary standby
Automatic standby due to driving operation:
When the driver activates the turn signal, the
Steering Assist is temporarily placed in a
standby mode. (The Steering Assist restarts
automatically when the operating conditions
are met again.)
Automatic standby:
In the following cases, a warning message is
displayed along with the chime, and the
Steering Assist is placed in a temporary
standby mode. (The Steering Assist restarts
automatically when the operating conditions
are met again.)
• When lane markers on both sides are no longer detected
• 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 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)
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

CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steering as-
sist in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode.
This mode allows driving at a speed between
25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
• In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead, as neither the pres-
ence of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is detected.
• Pay special attention to the distance be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
of you or a collision could occur.
• Always confirm the setting in the ICC
system display. •
Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode when driving
under the following conditions:
– When it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that var-
ies 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.
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control switches
1. CANCEL switch: Deactivates the system without erasing
the set speed
2. RES+ switch: Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally
3. SET- switch:

SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator2.
FEB with Pedestrian Detection emergency
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 approxi-
mately6–37mph(10–60km/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 be-
comes imminent, the FEB with Pedestrian
Detection system applies harder braking
automatically.
