your turn signal or, for example, if a
construction zone directs traffic to
cross an existing lane marker. If this
occurs you may need to apply correc-
tive steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the LDP may not activate
under the road, weather, and lane
marker conditions described in this
section, it may not activate every
time your vehicle begins to leave its
lane and you will need to apply
corrective steering.
. The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
. When the LDP system is operating,
avoid excessive or sudden steering
maneuvers. Otherwise, you could lose
control of the vehicle.
. Do not use the LDP system under the
following conditions as it may not
function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
— When driving on winding or un- even roads. — When there is a lane closure due
to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-stan-
dard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
— On roads where there are multi- ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
— On roads where there are sharp curves. — On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDP system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit
detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of the
lane camera unit.
— 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 vehicle at sunrise or sun-
set.)

— When a sudden change in bright-ness occurs. (For example, when
the vehicle 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
normal and indicates that the LDP system is
operating properly.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE
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
direction 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).
Action to take:
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are sa-
tisfied, the warning and assist functions will
resume. Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following con-
ditions (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
the LDP system operation.
. When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs (if so
equipped).
. When the hazard warning flashers are
operated.
. When driving on a curve at high speed.
Action to take:
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are sa-
tisfied, the LDP system application of the
brakes will resume.
Condition C:
If the following message appears in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the LDP system will be turned
off automatically.
. "Not Available: Poor Road Conditions":
— When the VDC system (except TCS function) or ABS operates. .
"Currently unavailable/Currently not
available":
— When the VDC system is turned off.
— When the SNOW mode switch is turned on.
— When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H or 4L position (for 4WD models).
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch again to turn the
LDP system back on.
Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then the
LDP system is turned on, the LDP system
may be deactivated automatically and the
following message will appear on the vehicle
information display:
. “Not Available: High Camera Temp”
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the system will resume operating automati-
cally.

— When a sudden change in bright-ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
. Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
— During bad weather. (For exam- ple: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
— When driving on winding or un- even roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions
(for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original steering parts or sus-
pension parts. — When towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.

When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system will adjust the speed
to maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle
ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway,
the ICC system will accelerate and maintain
the speed up to the set speed. Pay attention
to the driving operation to maintain control
of the vehicle as it accelerates to the set
speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
on winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you
will have to manually control the vehicle
speed.
Normally when controlling the distance to avehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is
required for a lane change. Depress the
brake pedal when deceleration is required
to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when using
the ICC system.

The system is operated by a MAIN switch
and four control switches, all mounted on
the steering wheel.
1. RES+ operation:
Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally.
2. SET- operation: Sets desired cruise speed, reduces speed
incrementally.
3. DISTANCE switch: Changes the vehicle’s following distance:

WAF0754X
To set cruising speed,accelerate your
vehicle to the desired speed, push down
the control switch to SET- 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 maintain the set speed.
. To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator 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 vehi-
cle speed. To cancel the preset speed,
use any of the
following methods:
. Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle
speed indicator will turn off.
. Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle
speed indicator will turn off.
. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the
MAIN switch indicator and set vehicle
speed indicator will turn off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
down the control switch to SET- and
release it.
. Push up and hold the control switch to
RES+. When the vehicle attains the
speed you desire, release the switch.
. Push up the control switch to RES+ and
then quickly release it. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by about
1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
down the control switch to SET- and
release it.
. Push down and hold the control switch to
SET-. Release the switch when the
vehicle slows down to the desired speed. .
Push down the control switch to SET-
and then quickly release it. Each time you
do this, the set speed will decrease by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push up the
control switch to RES+ and release it. The
vehicle will resume the last set cruising speed
when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40
km/h).
System temporarily unavailable
Under the following condition, a chime will
sound and the system control is automati-
cally canceled.
. When the vehicle slows down more than
8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed
. When the shift lever is shifted to the N
(Neutral) position
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When a wheel slips

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
indicates that the FEB with Pedestrian
Detection system is operating properly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the FEB with
Pedestrian 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 of a
collision should one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB with Pe-
destrian Detection system will function later
or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
.When the steering wheel is turned as far
as necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle,
pedestrian detected ahead.
If the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will
remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.
When the brake pedal is depressed while the
brake is applied by the system, you may feel
the pedal effort is changed and may hear a
sound and vibration noise. This is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction. In addition,
the braking force can be increased by adding
the pedal effort.

tions could result in serious injury or
death.
.The FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrians under all conditions.
. The FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not detect the following:
— Pedestrians that are small (for example, children), in a sitting
position, operating toys/skate-
boards, on scooters or in wheel-
chairs, or not in an upright
standing or walking position.
— Animals of any size.
— Obstacles (for example, cargo or debris) on the roadway or road-
side.
— Oncoming or crossing vehicles.
— Vehicles where the tires are diffi- cult to see or the shape of the rear
of the vehicle is unclear or ob-
structed.
— Parked vehicles.
. The FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system has some performance limita-
tions.
— If a stationary vehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the system will not function when the vehicle ap-
proaches the stationary vehicle
at speeds over approximately 50
MPH (80 km/h).
— Pedestrian detection will not function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 37
MPH (60 km/h) or below ap-
proximately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
. For pedestrians, the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not issue
the first warning.
. The FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may not function properly or
detect a vehicle or pedestrian ahead
in the following 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
the windshield.
— If strong light (for example, sun- light or high beams) enters the
front camera or a sudden change
in brightness occurs (for example,
entering a tunnel or driving in
lightning). — In dark or dimly lit conditions,
such as at night or in tunnels,
including cases where your vehi-
cle’s headlights are off or dim, or
the tail lights of the vehicle ahead
are off.
— When the direction of the camera is 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
significantly (for example, lane
change, turning vehicle, abrupt
steering, sudden acceleration or
deceleration).
— When your vehicle or the vehicle or pedestrian ahead moves quickly
or significantly such that the sys-
tem cannot detect and react in
time (for example, pedestrian
moving quickly toward the vehicle
at close range, vehicle cutting in,
changing lanes, making a turn,
steering abruptly, sudden accel-
eration or deceleration).

The 4WD shift switch is used to select the
4WD mode depending on the driving condi-
tions. There are 3 types of drive modes
available, AUTO, 4HI and 4LO.
The 4WD shift switch electronically controls
the transfer case operation. Rotate the
switch to move between each mode, AUTO,
4H and 4L.
You must depress the 4WD shift switch to
select 4L, and the vehicle MUST be sta-
tionary and the shift lever in the N (Neutral)
position when changing into or out of 4L.
WARNING
.When parking, apply the parking
brake before stopping the engine
and make sure that the 4WD shift
indicator is on and the ATP warning
light turns off. Otherwise, the vehicle
could unexpectedly move even if the
automatic transmission is in the P
(Park) position.
. The 4LO and 4HI indicators must
stop blinking and the 4LO or 4HI
indicator must remain illuminated or
turn off before shifting the transmis-
sion into gear. If the shift lever is
shifted from the N (Neutral) position
to any other gear while the 4LO and
4HI indicators are blinking alter- nately, the vehicle may move unex-
pectedly.
CAUTION
.
Never shift the 4WD shift switch
between 4L and 4H while driving.
. The 4HI position provides greater
traction. Avoid excessive speed, as it
will cause increased fuel consumption
and higher oil temperatures, and
could damage drivetrain component.
Speeds over 62 MPH (100 km/h) in
4HI is not recommended.
. The 4LO position provides maximum
traction. Avoid raising vehicle speed
excessively, as the maximum speed is
approximately 31 MPH (50 km/h).
. When driving straight, shift the 4WD
shift switch to the AUTO or 4H
position. Do not move the 4WD shift
switch when making a turn or rever-
sing.
. Do not shift the 4WD shift switch
(between AUTO and 4H) while driv-
ing on steep downhill grades. Use the
engine brake and low automatic
transmission gears for engine brak-
ing. .
Do not operate the 4WD shift switch
(between AUTO and 4H) with the
rear wheels spinning.
. Do not drive on dry hard surface
roads in the 4HI or 4LO position.
Driving on dry hard surfaces in 4HI or
4LO may cause unnecessary noise
and tire wear. INFINITI recommends
driving in the AUTO position under
these conditions.
. The 4WD transfer case may not be
shifted between 4HI and 4LO at low
ambient temperatures and the 4LO
and 4HI indicators may blink even
when the 4WD shift switch is shifted.
After driving for a while you can
change the 4WD shift switch be-
tween 4H and 4L.
When driving on rough roads,
. Drive carefully according to the road
surface conditions.
When the vehicle is stuck,
. Place stones or wooden blocks under the
tires to free the vehicle.
. Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4L.
. If it is difficult to free the vehicle, repeat
forward and backward movement to
increase the movement.
