2023 INFINITI QX60 Owners Manual

When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off
and speed control status indicator (maintain
speed control mode) illuminates (green out-
line
).
The ICC system gradually accelerates to the
set speed, but you can depress the accelera-
tor pedal to quickly accelerate. When a ve-
hicle is no longer detected and your vehicle
is traveling under approximately 15 mph (24
km/h), the ICC system automatically cancels.
When passing another vehicle, the set speed
indicator
OAflashes when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle ahead
detection indicator turns off when the area
ahead of the vehicle is open. When the pedal
is released, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed. Even though your vehicle
speed is set in the ICC system, you can de-
press the accelerator pedal when it is neces-
sary to accelerate your vehicle rapidly.
Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may inform
the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead de-
tection indicator.
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system
warns the driver with the chime and ICC sys-
tem display. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:
• The chime sounds.
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
• You judge it necessary to maintain a safe distance.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance between
vehicles. Some examples are:
• When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing.
LSD4515
Starting and driving5-101

• When the vehicle ahead is traveling fasterand the distance between vehicles is
increasing.
• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when:
• Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over- riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound and
the system display may flash when the radar
sensor detects objects on the side of the ve-
hicle or on the side of the road. This may
cause the ICC system to decelerate or accel-
erate the vehicle. The radar sensor may de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is driven
on winding, narrow, or hilly roads or when
the vehicle is entering or exiting a curve. In
these cases, you will have to manually con-
trol the proper distance ahead of your
vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or ve-
hicle conditions (for example, if a vehicle is
being driven with some damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above 43
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.
Speed Limit Assist - a feature of
ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
(if so equipped)
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active and it detects a change of the speed
limit, the new speed limit is indicated and it
can be applied to the vehicle set speed auto-
matically or manually.
5-102Starting and driving

The Speed Limit Assist operates:
• When the detected speed limit is 20 mph(30 km/h) and above.
• The “Spd. Limit Assist” is enabled in the settings menu of the vehicle information
display.
NOTE:
•While the accelerator pedal is operated
with AUTO mode selected, the Speed
Limit Assist will function (automatically
adjusts the vehicle set speed) only when
the detected speed limit is faster than the
vehicle set speed.
• In the following situations, the Speed
Limit Assist will not operate: – When an increase in the posted speed
limit is detected, but the vehicle set
speed is already faster than the new
speed limit.
– When a decrease in the posted speed
limit is detected, but the vehicle set
speed is already lower than the new
speed limit.
System display and indicators
1. Detected speed limit indicator
Displays the currently detected speed
limit. For additional information, see
“Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)” (P. 5-34).
2. Applied speed limit indicator (green frame) Indicates the detected speed limit can be
applied to vehicle set speed.
3. Speed Limit Assist indicator Indicates the system activation mode or

Operating the system
When the system detects a different speed
limit, the new speed value is indicated. The
vehicle set speed can be changed to the indi-
cated speed limit automatically or manually.
When Manual mode is selected on settings
menu (factory default setting):
• To accept the newly indicated speed limit, operate the RES+ switch (in case of speed
limit up) or SET- switch (in case of speed
limit down).
• The Speed Limit Assist indicator (
or) will turn off after approximately 10
seconds if the RES+ or SET- switch is not
operated. (The Speed Limit Assist indicator
can be turned off immediately by operating
the opposite switch from the direction indi-
cated by the Speed Limit Assist indicator.)
The system will not activate if a speed limit
change is not detected.

When Auto mode is selected on the settings
menu:
• The indicated speed limit is applied to thevehicle set speed automatically when on a
limited access freeway as identified in the
navigation map data. Also, if the ProPILOT
Assist with Navi-link system is on, but not
set (active), and a new speed limit is de-
tected, the vehicle set speed is automati-
cally updated.
• The Auto mode may not be available in some regions or on roads other than limited
access freeways. In this case, the system
operates as the Manual mode.
NOTE:
Auto mode will not function in Hawaii or US
island territories.
How to activate or deactivate the
system:
1. Press thebutton on the steering
wheel until “Settings” appears in the ve-
hicle information display, and press the
OK button
2. Use the scroll dial to select “Driver Assis- tance” and then press the OK button. 3. Select “Spd. Limit Assist”, and press the
OK button to select “Auto” or “Manual” to
enable (not activate) the system. To deac-
tivate the system, select “OFF”.
NOTE:
The system will retain current settings in the
vehicle information display even if the en-
gine is restarted.
Speed Adjust by Route - a feature
of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
(if so equipped)
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active on a limited access freeway (as identi-
fied in the navigation map data), the Speed
Adjust by Route uses road information pro-
vided by the navigation system and can ad-
just the vehicle speed depending on curves,
junctions or exits and the driver may need to
apply additional braking at any time.
When the vehicle is through the curve or junc-
tion, the vehicle will accelerate again to the
set speed. When exiting the limited access
freeway, the driver will need to apply braking
at the end of the exit.
NOTE:
•The system does not operate when the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed.
• The system may not operate depending on
the set distance to the vehicle ahead and
vehicles detected ahead.

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.

•Always check surroundings before re-
starting the vehicle.
• Always pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle and be ready to manually
control the proper following distance.
The ICC system may not be able to main-
tain the selected distance between ve-
hicles (following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some circumstances.
• The system may not detect the vehicle in
front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never use
the ICC system under the following con-
ditions:
– On roads with heavy, high-speed
traffic or sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on
ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the
bumper around the distance sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads –
When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources.
• Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not de-
tect a vehicle ahead.
• In some road or traffic conditions, a ve-
hicle or object can unexpectedly come
into the sensor detection zone and cause
automatic braking. Always stay alert
and avoid using the ICC system where
not recommended in this warning
section.
The ICC system will not detect the following
objects:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The following are some conditions in which
the radar sensor cannot properly detect a
vehicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly: • When the sensor detection is reduced (con-
ditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray from other
vehicles)
• Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves
• Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road
• If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cover- ing the radar sensor area
• A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is near
the vehicle ahead.
• Interference by other radar sources
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
• When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of your
vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the radar sensor’s operation within the
limitations of the system.
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the detec-
tion zone for the ICC system to maintain the
selected distance from the vehicle ahead. A
vehicle ahead may move outside of the de-
tection zone due to its position within the
same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be
detected in the same lane ahead if they are
5-106Starting and driving

traveling offset from the center line of the
lane. A vehicle that is entering the lane ahead
may not be detected until the vehicle has
completely moved into the lane.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and sounding
the chime. The driver may have to manually
control the proper distance away from the
vehicle traveling ahead.
The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses
a multi-sensing front camera. The following
are some conditions in which the camera may
not properly detect a vehicle and detection of
a vehicle ahead may be delayed:
• Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and
road spray from other vehicles)
• The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.
• Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) enters the
front camera
• A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle enters or exits a
tunnel or shaded area or lightning flashes)

Starting and driving5-107

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar sen-
sor may detect vehicles in a different lane, or
may temporarily not detect a vehicle traveling
ahead. This may cause the radar system to
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering maneu-
ver or traveling position in the lane, etc.) or
vehicle condition.If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and sounding
the chime unexpectedly. You will have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.
System Temporarily Unavailable
The following are conditions in which the ICC
system may be temporarily unavailable. In
these instances, the ICC system may not can-
cel and may not be able to maintain the se-
lected following distance from the vehicle
ahead.Condition A
Under the following conditions, the ICC sys-
tem is automatically canceled. A chime will
sound and the system will not be able to be
set:
• Any door is open.
• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• The vehicle ahead is not detected and your
vehicle is traveling below the speed of 15
mph (24 km/h). For ProPILOT Assist with
Navi-link equipped vehicles on a limited ac-
cess freeway as identified in the navigation
map data, the ICC system cancels and a
warning chime sounds if your vehicle is at a
standstill for more than approximately 3
seconds and a vehicle is not detected
ahead.
• Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC system for approximately 3 minutes or
longer.
• The shift lever is not in the D (Drive) position or manual shift mode.
• The electronic parking brake is applied.
• The VDC system is turned off.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection applies harder braking.
• VDC (including the traction control system) operates.
