SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the LDP system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically. The LDP indicator (orange)
will illuminates and the “Malfunction” warn-
ing message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
If the LDP indicator (orange) illuminates, pull
off the road to a safe location. Turn the

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitfor the LDP system
is located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of the LDP system and
prevent a system malfunction, be sure to
observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers. .
Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit. If the camera unit is
damaged due to an accident, it is re-
commended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer.

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

— When the vehicle or pedestrian isoffset from the vehicle’s forward
path.
— If the speed difference between the two vehicles is small.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifiable;
for example, due to transporting
luggage, pushing a stroller, wear-
ing bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories, or being
in a unique posture (such as rais-
ing 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 unu-
sual cargo loading or is narrow
(for example, a motorcycle).
— When the vehicle or pedestrian is located 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.
— While towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. The system performance may be
degraded 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 automati-
cally check the sensor (radar and
camera)’s functionality, within cer-
tain 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.
. In some road and traffic conditions,
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may unexpectedly apply par- tial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
. The FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may operate when a pattern,
object, shadow or lights are detected
that are similar to the outline of
vehicles or pedestrians, 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
vehicle 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
operate temporarily for the oncoming
vehicle in front of your vehicle.

Action to take:
If the FEB system warning light (orange)
comes on, stop the vehicle in a safe place,
place the shift lever in the P (Park) position
and turn the engine off. Clean the radar
cover below the front bumper with a soft
cloth, and restart the engine. If the FEB
system warning light continues to illuminate,
have the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.

When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will resume automatically.
Condition D
When the accelerator pedal actuator detects
that the internal motor temperature is high,
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system is

warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take: When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will resume automatically.
Condition E
When VDC system is OFF, the FEB brake
will not operate. In this case only visible and
audible warning operates. The FEB system
warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
When VDC system is ON, the FEB with
Pedestrian Detection system will resume

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
malfunctions, it will be turned off automa-
tically, a chime will sound, the FEB system
warning light will (orange) will illuminate and
the “Malfunction” warning message will

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensoris located on the front of
the vehicle. The camerais located on the
upper side of the windshield.
To keep the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system operating properly, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
. Always keep the sensor area on the front
of the vehicle and windshield clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensors (ex. bumper, windshield).
. Do not cover or attach stickers or similar
objects on the front of the vehicle near
the sensor area. This could cause failure
or malfunction.
