Auto start INFINITI QX30 2017 Repair Manual

–The ICC system has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e. g. by a
vehicle occupant.
– The accelerator pedal has been de-
pressed, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
For further information on deactivating the ICC
system, see ICC switch (cruise control lever)
earlier in this section
If the ICC system detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it
is stationary (within the braking limitations of
the system).
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress the
brake.
NOTE
•After a short period, the vehicle is secured by
the electric parking brake, thus relieving the
service brake.
•Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever. The electric parking brake secures the vehicle
automatically if the ICC system is activated
when the vehicle is stationary and:
•A system fault occurs.
•The power supply is insufficient.
If a malfunction in the electric parking brake
occurs, then the transmission may also be
shifted into position P (Park) automatically.
How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be se-
lected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
To increase the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the rear2. To de-
crease the distance to the vehicle ahead, turn
the knob
3toward the front1.
You can see this distance in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead will change
according to the vehicle speed. The higher the
vehicle speed, the longer the distance.

Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle
or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns
the driver with the chime and distance warning
light. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal
to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
•The chime sounds.
•The distance warning light is illuminated.
The warning chime may not sound and the
distance warning light may not illuminate 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. In this case, the distance
warning light will be on.
•When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is increas-
ing.
•When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
•The warning chime will not sound and the
distance warning light will not illuminate
when: – The vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly. – The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condi-
tion (for example, if a vehicle is being driven
with some damage).
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds and the message [ICC off] is
displayed in the vehicle information display for
5 seconds under the following conditions and
the control is automatically canceled.
•The electric parking brake is applied.
•The VDC intervenes or the VDC is deacti-
vated.
•The P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral)
position is engaged.
•The cruise control lever is pulled in order to
pull away but the front passenger door or
one of the rear doors is open.
•The vehicle is skidding or a wheel slips.
•Active Park Assist is activated.
ICC 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.
•This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
•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 congested areas.
•This system will not adapt automatically 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 dis-
tance control function, never rely solely on
the ICC system. This system does not cor-
rect careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain,
fog, or other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the brake
5-54Starting and driving

pedal, depending on the distance to the ve-
hicle ahead and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
•If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. Once the ve-
hicle is stationary, it remains stationary and
you do not need to depress the brake pedal.
•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 maintain the selected
distance between vehicles (following dis-
tance) or selected vehicle speed under
some circumstances.
•Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead. If
required, depress the accelerator to prop-
erly accelerate your vehicle when accelera-
tion is required for a lane change. Depress
the brake pedal when deceleration is re-
quired 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 may not detect the vehicle in
front of you in certain road or weather con-
ditions. To avoid accidents, never use the
ICC system under the following conditions:– On roads where the traffic is heavy or
there are 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
system sensor.
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle speed and
frequent braking may result in overheat-
ing the brakes).
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads.
– When traffic conditions make it difficult
to keep a proper distance between ve-
hicles because of frequent acceleration
or deceleration.
– If there is interference by other radar
sources.
•Do not use the ICC system if you are towing a
trailer. The system may not detect a vehicle
ahead.
•In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle
or object can unexpectedly come into the
sensor detection zone and cause automatic braking. You may need to control the dis-
tance from other vehicles using the accel-
erator pedal. Always stay alert and avoid
using the ICC system when it is not recom-
mended in this section.
•The distance sensor will not detect the fol-
lowing objects:
– Stationary and 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
sensor cannot properly detect a vehicle ahead
and the system may not operate properly:
•When the snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s visibility.
•When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the luggage room of your
vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation within the limita-
tion of the system. When the sensor is covered
with dirt or is obstructed, the system will auto-
matically be canceled. If the sensor is covered
with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In
Starting and driving5-55

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
When the radar sensor area is covered with dirt
or is obstructed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the radar sensor area is covered
with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In
these instances, the ICC system may not cancel
and may not be able to maintain the selected
following distance from the vehicle ahead.
If the ICC system stops working due to a
malfunction or some other reason, one of the
following messages will be displayed in the
vehicle information display
2.

The FEB system consists of a distance warning
function with an autonomous emergency brak-
ing function and adaptive brake assist function.
The FEB system can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
reduce the effects of such a collision
If the FEB system detects that there is a risk of
a collision, you will be warned visually and
audibly. If you do not react to the visual and
audible collision warning, autonomous braking
can be initiated in critical situations. If you
apply the brake yourself in a critical situation,
the adaptive brake assist function assists you.
Distance warning function
The distance warning function can help you to
minimize the risk of a collision with the vehicle
in front or reduce the effects of such a collision.
If the distance warning function detects that
there is a risk of a collision, you will be warned
visually and audibly.
The distance warning function issues a warning
at speeds:
•Of approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h) or more,
if, over several seconds the distance main-
tained to the vehicle traveling in front is
insufficient. The distance warning light then
lights up in the combination meter.
•Of approximately 4 MPH (7 km/h) or more, if
you rapidly approach a vehicle in front. An
intermittent warning tone will then sound
and the distance warning light will light up in
the combination meter.
If a warning is issued:
•Brake immediately in order to increase the
distance from the vehicle in front.
or
•Take evasive action provided it is safe to do
so.
WARNING
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving conditions
may also cause the system to display a
warning.
Up to a speed of approximately 45 MPH (70
km/h), the distance warning function can also
react to stationary (stopped or parked) vehicles.
If you approach a stationary vehicle and the
distance warning function detects a risk of a
collision, the system will alert you both visually
and acoustically.
NSD598Distance warning light
5-62Starting and driving

Autonomous braking function
If the driver does not react to the distance
warning signal in a critical situation, the FEB
system can assist with the autonomous braking
function
The autonomous braking function can help the
driver to avoid an accident or reduces the
effects of an accident.
The autonomous braking function is available in
the following speed ranges:
•4–125 MPH (7-200 km/h) for moving vehicles
•4–30 MPH (7 -50 km/h) for stationary ve-
hicles
Adaptive brake assist function
Adaptive brake assist function provides braking
assistance in hazardous situations at speeds
above 4MPH (7 km/h). It uses radar sensor
technology to assess the traffic situation.
If the system detects a risk of collision with the
vehicle in front, it calculates the braking force
necessary to avoid a collision. If you apply the
brakes forcefully, the adaptive brake assist
function will automatically increase the braking
force to a level suitable for the traffic condi-
tions.
If the adaptive brake assist function activates,
keep the brake pedal depressed until the emer-
gency braking situation is over. ABS prevents
the wheels from locking.
The brakes will work normally again if:
•You release the brake pedal.
•There is no longer any danger of a collision.
•No obstacle is detected in front of your
vehicle.
The brake assist function is then deactivated. At high speeds, the adaptive brake assist func-
tion is capable of reacting to moving objects
that have already been detected as such at
least once over the period of observation.
Up to a speed of approximately 45 MPH (70
km/h), the adaptive brake assist function reacts
to stationary vehicles.

FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the
FEB system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
•The FEB system cannot detect all vehicles
under all conditions.
•The radar sensor does not detect the follow-
ing objects:– Pedestrians or animals
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance
limitations. For stationary vehicles, the FEB
system will not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over:
– Approximately 31 MPH (50 km/h) for the
Autonomous braking function.
•The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or heavy rain.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. mo-
torcycle). –
If the vehicle ahead is in a different lane.
– Under strong radar reflections, for ex-
ample, in a multi-level parking garage.
– New vehicle or after a maintenance of the
FEB system. For additional information,
see Break-in schedule later in this sec-
tion
– When driving on a steep downhill slope
or roads with sharp curves.
– When towing a trailer.
•In some road or traffic conditions, the FEB
system may intervene unnecessarily or give
an unnecessary warning. Always pay care-
ful attention to the traffic situation. Do not
rely solely on the distance warning function
and terminate the intervention if necessary.
•Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
•The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor
area such as ice, snow, stickers, for ex-
ample. In these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver properly. Be sure
that you check, clean and clear the sensor
area regularly.
•Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
If the FEB stops working due to a malfunction or
some other reason, one of the following three
messages will be displayed in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
•[Emergency Brake Currently Unavailable See
Operator’s Manual]
•[Emergency Brake Inoperative]
•[Radar Sensors Dirty See Operator’s Manual]
For each of these messages, possible causes
and solutions are listed below.
[Emergency Brake Currently Unavailable See
Operator’s Manual]: The FEB system is tempo-
rarily inoperative. Possible causes:
•The radar sensor system is temporarily inop-
erative, for example, due to electromagnetic
radiation emitted by nearby TV or radio sta-
tions or other sources of electromagnetic
radiation.
•The system is outside the operating tempera-
ture range.

3Detected parking space on the right.
IPA is activated automatically when driving for-
wards. The system is operational at speeds of
up to approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h). While in
operation, the system independently locates
and measures parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle
IPA will only detect parking spaces:
•Adjacent to the vehicle.
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel and
are at least 5 ft (1.5 m) wide.
•That are parallel to the direction of travel and
at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) longer than your
vehicle.
•That are at right angles to the direction of
travel and at least 3.3 ft (1.0 m) wider than
your vehicle.
NOTE
IPA cannot measure the length of a parking
space if it is at right angles to the direction of
travel. You will need to judge whether your ve-
hicle will fit in the parking space
When driving at speeds below 19 MPH (30
km/h) you will see parking symbol
2as a
status indicator in the vehicle information dis-
play. When a parking space has been detected,
an arrow towards the right
3or the left1also
appears. IPA only displays parking spaces on
the front-passenger side as standard. Parking
spaces on the driver’s side are displayed as
soon as the turn signal on the driver’s side is
activated. When parking on the driver’s side,
this must remain activated until you confirm the
use of IPA by pressing the <OK>button on the
steering wheel. The system automatically deter-
mines whether the parking space is parallel or
at right angles to the direction of travel. A parking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approximately
50 ft (15 m) away from it.
