– When the vehicle or pedestrian is off-set from the vehicle’s forward path.
– If the speed difference between the two vehicles is small.
– The pedestrian’s profile is partially obscured or unidentifiable; for ex-
ample, due to transporting luggage,
pushing a stroller, wearing bulky or
very loose-fitting clothing or acces-
sories, or being in a unique posture
(such as raising hands).
– There is poor contrast of a person to the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
– For approximately 15 seconds after starting the engine.
– If the vehicle ahead has a unique or unusual shape, extremely low or high
clearance heights, or unusual cargo
loading or is narrow (for example, a
motorcycle).
– When the vehicle or pedestrian is lo- cated near a traffic sign, a reflective
area (for example, water on road), or
is in a shadow.
– When multiple pedestrians are grouped together.
– When the view of the pedestrian is obscured by a vehicle or other object. •
The system performance may be de-
graded in the following conditions:
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
– The vehicle is driven on a slope.
– Excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the cargo area of
your vehicle.
• The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s (radar and camera)
functionality, within certain limitations.
The system may not detect some forms
of obstruction of the sensor area such as
ice, snow or stickers, for example. In
these cases, the system may not be able
to warn the driver properly. Be sure that
you check, clean and clear sensor areas
regularly.

FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
may unexpectedly apply partial braking.
When acceleration is necessary, depress
the accelerator pedal to override the
system. •
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem may operate when a pattern, object,
shadow or lights are detected that are
similar to the outline of vehicles or pe-
destrians, or if they are the same size and
position as a vehicle or motorcycle’s tail
lights.
• The system may keep operating when
the vehicle ahead is turning right or left.
• The system may operate when your ve-
hicle is approaching and passing a vehicle
ahead.
• Depending on the road shape (curved
road, entrance and exit of the curve,
winding road, lane regulation, under
construction, etc.), the system may op-
erate temporarily for the oncoming ve-
hicle in front of your vehicle.

BREAK-IN SCHEDULE
Starting and driving5-131

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driv-
ing Tips to help you achieve the most fuel
economy from your vehicle.
1.Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake Pedal
Application
• Avoid rapid starts and stops.
• Use smooth, gentle accelerator and brake application whenever possible.
• Maintain constant speed while com- muting and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain Constant Speed
• Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
• Synchronizing your speed with traffic lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.
• Maintaining a steady speed can mini- mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency.
3. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher Ve-
hicle Speeds
• Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
• Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag. • Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and
Distances
• Observing the speed limit and not ex- ceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.
• Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
• Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
• Select a gear range suitable to road conditions.
5. Use Cruise Control
• Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady speed.
• Cruise control is particularly effective in providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.
6. Plan for the Shortest Route
• Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save time. 7.
Avoid Idling
• Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
• Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting.
9. Winter Warm Up
• Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
• Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to effec-
tively circulate the engine oil before
driving.
• Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat- ing temperature more quickly while driv-
ing versus idling.
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
• Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever possible.
• When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the in-
side temperature faster, resulting in re-
duced demand on your A/C system.
FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS
5-132Starting and driving

• Keep your engine tuned up.
• Follow the recommended scheduledmaintenance.
• Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres- sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
• Keep all the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, see “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities”
(P. 10-2).
If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent
AWD system while the engine is running,
messages are displayed in the meter.
If the AWD error warning message is dis-
played, there may be a malfunction in the
Intelligent AWD system. Reduce vehicle
speed and have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service. The AWD high temperature message may be
displayed while trying to free a stuck vehicle
due to increased oil temperature. The driving
mode may change to 2-Wheel Drive (2WD).
If this message is displayed, stop the vehicle
with the engine idling, as soon as it is safe to
do so. Then if the message turns off, you can
continue driving.
