• If a malfunction occurs in the electronicparking brake system (for example, due to
battery discharge), it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.
• Under the following conditions the elec- tronic parking brake will automatically be
applied and the braking force of the auto-
matic brake hold will be released:
– The braking force is applied by the auto- matic brake hold function for 3 minutes
or longer.
– The vehicle is in the P (Park) position.
– The electronic parking brake is applied manually.
– The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
– The driver’s door is opened.
– The ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.

NOTE:
• A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven without releasing the parking brake. For
additional information, see “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible remind-
ers” (P. 2-12).
• While the electronic parking brake is ap- plied or released, an operating sound is
heard from the lower side of the rear seat.
This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. • When the electronic parking brake is fre-
quently applied and released in a short pe-
riod of time, the parking brake may not
operate in order to prevent the parking
brake system from overheating. If this oc-
curs, operate the electronic parking brake
switch again after waiting approximately
1 minute.
• If the electronic parking brake must be ap- plied while driving in an emergency, pull up
and hold the parking brake switch. When
you release the parking brake switch, the
parking brake will be released.
• While pulling up the electronic parking brake switch during driving, the parking
brake is applied and a chime sounds. The
electronic parking brake indicator light in
the meter and in the parking brake switch
illuminates. This does not indicate a mal-
function. The electronic parking brake in-
dicator light in the meter and in the park-
ing brake switch turns off when the
parking brake is released.
• When pulling the electronic parking brake switch up with the ignition switch in the
OFF or AUTO ACC position, the parking
brake switch indicator light will continue
to illuminate for a short period of time.
5-26Starting and driving
The automatic brake hold function maintains
the braking force without the driver having to
depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is
stopped at a traffic light or intersection. As
soon as the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal again, the automatic brake hold func-
tion is deactivated and the braking force is
released. The operating status of the auto-
matic brake hold can be displayed.
To use the automatic brake hold function, the
following conditions need to be met:
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The electronic parking brake is released.
• The vehicle is not in the P (Park) position.
• The vehicle is not parked on a steep hill.
For additional information, see “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders”
(P. 2-12).
WARNING
• The automatic brake hold function is not
designed to hold the vehicle on a steep
hill or slippery road. Never use the auto-
matic brake hold function when the ve-
hicle is stopped on a steep hill or slippery
road. Failure to do so may cause the ve-
hicle to move. •
Warnings may appear to request that
the driver retake control by depressing
the brake pedal.
•
When the automatic brake hold function is
activated but fails to maintain the vehicle
at a standstill, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle. If the vehicle unexpect-
edly moves due to outside conditions, the
chime may sound and automatic brake
hold warning may illuminate.
• Be sure to deactivate the automatic
brake hold function when using a car
wash or towing your vehicle.
• Make sure to place the shift position in
the P (Park) position and apply the park-
ing brake when parking your vehicle, en-
tering or exiting the vehicle, or loading
luggage. Failure to do so could cause the
vehicle to move or roll away unexpect-
edly and result in serious personal injury
or property damage.
• If any of the following conditions occur,
the automatic brake hold function may
not function. Have the system checked
promptly. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
– A warning message appears. –
The indicator light on the automatic
brake hold switch does not illuminate
when the switch is pushed.
Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance
with these conditions could cause the ve-
hicle to move or roll away unexpectedly and
result in serious personal injury or property
damage.
• The automatic brake hold function will
not be activated if the Slip indicator
light, electronic parking brake warning
light or master warning light illuminate
and the chassis control system fault
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
• Automatic brake hold function is oper-
ated by applying sufficient braking force
to hold the vehicle in its place, so there
are cases when this hold function is
maintained even if the accelerator pedal
is depressed. In this situation, it is ad-
vised to depress the brake pedal first,
then to turn off automatic brake hold
switch. This will cancel the hold function.
• To maintain the braking force to keep
the vehicle to a standstill, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
AUTOMATIC BRAKE HOLD
Starting and driving5-27
–When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming
is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters the lane
camera unit. (For example, the light
directly shines on the front of the ve-
hicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or under
a bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is nor-
mal and indicates that the LDP system is
operating properly.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the LDP
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
• When you operate the lane change signal and change the traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDP system will be
deactivated for approximately 2 seconds
after the lane change signal is turned off.)
• When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h). After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are satis-
fied, the warning and assist functions will
resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following condi-
tions (warning is still functional):
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary for the vehicle to change lanes.
• When the vehicle is accelerated during LDP system operation.
• When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) approach warning occurs.
• When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
• When driving on a curve at high speed.
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are satis-
fied, the LDP system application of the
brakes will resume.
Condition C:
If the following messages appear in the ve-
hicle information display, the LDP system will
be turned off automatically. • “Not Available Poor Road Conditions”
When the VDC system (except Traction
Control System [TCS] function) or ABS
operates.
• “Currently not available”: – When the VDC system is turned off.
– When the SNOW mode is selected.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the ProPILOT
Assist switch (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist) on the steering wheel again to turn the
LDP system back on.
Temporary disabled status at high
temperature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 104°F [40°C]) and then the LDP
system is turned on, the LDP system may
be deactivated automatically and the fol-
lowing message will appear on the vehicle
information display: “Unavailable: High Cabin
Temperature.”
Starting and driving5-47
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 ProPI-
LOT 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 op-
erating the ProPILOT Assist switch.
WARNING
Steering Assist is not a system for 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.
NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of firmly
grips) the steering wheel, the steering
torque sensor may not detect the driver’s
hand(s) on the wheel and a sequence of
warnings may occur. When the driver holds
and operates the steering wheel again, the
warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
WARNING
• In the following situations, the camera
may not detect lane markers correctly or
may detect lane markers incorrectly and
the Steering Assist may not operate
properly:
– When driving on roads where there
are multiple parallel lane markers,
lane markers that are faded or not
painted clearly, nonstandard lane
markers, or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– When driving on roads with discon-
tinued lane markers
– When driving on roads with a widen-
ing or narrowing lane width
– When driving on roads where there
are multiple lanes or unclear lane
markers due to road construction
– When driving on roads where there
are sharply contrasting objects, such
as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams, or lines remaining after road
repairs (the Steering Assist could de-
tect these items as lane markers)
– When driving on roads where the
traveling lane merges or separates •
Do not use the Steering Assist under the
following conditions because the system
may not properly detect lane markers.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
dust, etc.)
– When rain, snow, sand, etc., is thrown
up by the wheels of other vehicles
– When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or an-
other object adheres to the camera
unit
– When the lens of the camera unit is
foggy
– When strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams from oncoming
vehicles) shines on the camera
– When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or the head-
lights are off in tunnels or darkness
– When a sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or is under a
bridge)
–
When driving on roads where the trav- eling lane merges or separates or
where there are temporary lane mark-
ers because of road construction
5-114Starting and driving
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.
While the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is operating, you may hear the sound
of brake operation. This is normal and indi-
cates that the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is operating properly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when any
braking is performed by the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to
the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well as
driving and roadway conditions, the system
may help the driver avoid a forward collision
or may help mitigate the consequences if a
collision should be unavoidable. If the driver is
handling the steering wheel, accelerating or
braking, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system will function later or will not function.

dance with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem cannot detect all vehicles or pedes-
trians under all conditions.
•
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem does not detect the following objects:
–Pedestrians that are small (for ex-
ample, children), in a sitting position,
operating toys/skateboards, on
scooters or in wheelchairs, or not in an
upright standing or walking position.
– Animals of any size.
– Obstacles (for example, cargo or de- bris) on the roadway or roadside.
– Oncoming or crossing vehicles.
– Vehicles where the tires are difficult to see or the shape of the rear of the
vehicle is unclear or obstructed.
– Parked vehicles. •
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem has some performance limitations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the system will not func-
tion when the vehicle approaches the
stationary vehicle at speeds over ap-
proximately 50 mph (80 km/h).
– Pedestrian detection will not func-
tion when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over approximately 37 mph
(60 km/h) or below approximately 6
mph (10km/h).
• For pedestrians, the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not issue the
first warning.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem may not function properly or detect
a vehicle or pedestrians ahead in the fol-
lowing conditions:
– In poor visibility conditions (such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand
storms, smoke, and road spray from
other vehicles).
– If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other material
is covering the radar sensor area or
camera area of windshield. –
If strong light (for example, sunlight
or high beams) enters the front cam-
era or a sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, entering a tun-
nel or driving in lightning).
– In dark or dimly lit conditions, such as
at night or in tunnels, including cases
where your vehicle’s headlights are
off or dim, or the tail lights of the
vehicle ahead are off.

misaligned.
– When driving on a steep downhill
slope, on roads with sharp curves,
and/or bumpy or dirt roads.
– If there is interference by other radar
sources.
– When your vehicle’s position or
movement is changed quickly or sig-
nificantly (for example, lane change,
turning vehicle, abrupt steering, sud-
den acceleration or deceleration).
