• For the ProPILOT Assist system to oper-
ate properly, the windshield in front of
the camera must be clean. Replace worn
wiper blades. The correct size wiper
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
When the system malfunctions, it turns off
automatically. The Steering Assist status
warning illuminates (orange). A chime may
sound depending on the situation.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off, restart the engine, resume driving,
and set the Intelligent Cruise Control system
again. If the warning (orange) continues to

Steering Assist maintenance
The camera sensor is located above the in-
side mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the system
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.

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:
Sets desired cruise speed or reduces speed
incrementally
4. ProPILOT Assist switch: Master switch to activate the system

trol, make sure to turn the ProPILOT Assist
switch off when not using the ICC system. To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle
to the desired speed, push the SET-
OCswitch and release it. (The color of the cruise
indicator changes to green and set vehicle
speed indicator comes on.) Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will main-
tain the set speed.
• To pass another vehicle, depress the accel-
erator pedal. When you release the pedal,
the vehicle will return to the previously set
speed.
• The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, manually maintain vehicle speed. To cancel the preset speed, use any of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The vehicle
speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the ProPILOT Assist switch off. Both the cruise indicator and vehicle

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
responsibility 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 infor-
mation, see “Front and rear sonar system”
(P. 5-147).
