2023 INFINITI QX55 warning light

Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above 44
mph and following a slower vehicle (below
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-
vated to the left, the ICC system will auto-
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to
help initiate passing on the left and will begin
to reduce the distance to vehicle directly
ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates
this feature. As the driver steers the vehicle
and moves into the passing lane, if no vehicle
is detected ahead the ICC system will con-
tinue to accelerate to the ICC system set
speed. If another vehicle is detected ahead,
then the vehicle will accelerate up to the fol-
lowing speed of that vehicle. If the vehicle is
not steered into the left lane to pass, the
acceleration will stop after a short time and
regain the set following distance. Accelera-
tion can be stopped at any point by depress-
ing the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a collision that
may result in serious injury or death, please
be aware of the following: •
This function is only activated with the
left turn signal and will briefly accelerate
the vehicle even if a lane change is not
initiated. This can include non-passing
situations such as left side exits.
• Ensure that when passing another ve-
hicle, the adjacent lane is clear before ini-
tiating the pass. Sudden changes in traf-
fic may occur while passing- always
manually steer or brake as needed- never
solely rely on the system.
ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death:
• The ICC system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use the
ICC system in city traffic or congested
areas. •
The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves or on icy roads, in heavy rain
or in fog.
• As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving or overcome poor
visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal, depending
on the distance to the vehicle ahead and
the surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
• When the ICC system automatically
brings the car to a stop, your vehicle can
automatically accelerate if the vehicle is
stopped for less than approximately 3
seconds. Be prepared to stop your ve-
hicle if necessary.

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.
• There is a limitation to the RAB system
capability. The RAB system is not effec-
tive in all situations.
• 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.
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. 5-147).
