vehicle distance if:
.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection and set
distance indicator blink.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance be-
tween vehicles. Some examples are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling
faster and 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 blink when the
radar sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle or on the side of the road. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle. The radar sensor may
detect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding roads, narrow roads, hilly
roads or when entering or exiting a curve. In
these cases you will have to manually control 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
vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is
being driven with some damage).
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed.
.
When the vehicle ahead is not detected
and your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (25 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is at
standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the SNOW mode switch is pushed
on
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models)
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When the VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When distance measurement becomes
impaired due to adhesion of dirt or
obstruction to the sensor .
When a wheel slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted

mode limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
. The system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use
the system in city traffic or con-
gested areas.
. This 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 absent-minded driving, or over-

Warning light
When the system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the system warning
(yellow) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the
engine, resume driving and then perform the
setting again.
If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system is
malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is still
driveable under normal conditions, have the
vehicle checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the DCA
system could result in serious personal
injury or death.
.Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the DCA system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
DCA system. To avoid serious injury
or death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the
vehicle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the DCA system
except in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
. This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
. As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the DCA system. This sys-
tem does not correct careless, inat-
tentive or absent-minded 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 surround-
ing circumstances in order to main-
tain a safe distance between vehicles.
. Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually decelerate to maintain the
proper following distance. The DCA
system may not be able to decelerate
the vehicle under some circum-
stances.
. This system only brakes and moves
the accelerator pedal upward to help
assist the driver to maintain a follow-
ing distance from the vehicle ahead.
Acceleration should be operated by
the driver.
. The DCA system does not control
vehicle speed or warn you when you
approach stationary and slow moving
vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper
distance from vehicles ahead.
. The DCA system automatically de-
celerates your vehicle to help assist
the driver to maintain a following
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Manually brake when deceleration is
required to maintain a safe distance
upon sudden braking by the vehicle

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).
