– When excessively heavy baggage isloaded in the rear seat or the luggage
room of your vehicle.
– When abruptly accelerating or decelerating.
– On a steep downhill slope or on roads with sharp curves.
– When there is a highly reflective ob- ject near the vehicle ahead (for ex-
ample, being very close to another
vehicle, signboard, etc.)
– When you are towing a trailer.
● Depending on certain road conditions
(curved or beginning of a curve) , vehicle
conditions (steering position or vehicle
position) , or the preceding vehicle’s
conditions (position in lane, etc.) , the
system may not function properly. The
system may detect highly reflective ob-
jects such as signs and other stationary
objects on the road or near the traveling
lane and provide unnecessary warning.
● The system may not function in offset
conditions.
● The system may not function when the
distance to the vehicle ahead is ex-
tremely close. ●
The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s functionality. If
the sensor area of the front bumper is
covered with ice, a transparent or trans-
lucent bag, etc., the system may not
detect them. In these instances, the sys-
tem may not be able to warn the driver
properly. Be sure to check and clean the
sensor area of the front bumper
regularly.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
● A sudden appearance of a vehicle in
front (for example, it abruptly cuts in)
may not be detected and the system
may not warn the driver soon enough.
● The system will be cancelled automati-
cally with a beep sound and a message
will pop up under the following
conditions:
– When the sensor area of the front bumper is dirty
– When the system malfunctions If the system cancels and a message pops up
with a beep sound, pull off the road to a safe
location, stop the vehicle and turn the engine off.
Check to see if the sensor area of the front
bumper is blocked. If the sensor area of the front
bumper is blocked, remove the object blocking
and restart the engine.
If the sensor is malfunctioning, have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
5-80Starting and driving

●The system will be cancelled automati-
cally with a beep sound and the IBA
warning light will illuminate under the
following conditions:
– When the sensor area of the front bumper is dirty
– When the system malfunctions
If the IBA OFF indicator light illuminates with a
beep sound, pull off the road to a safe location,
stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. Check to
see if the sensor area of the front bumper is dirty.
If the sensor area of the front bumper is dirty,
clean it with a soft cloth and restart the engine. If
the sensor window is not dirty, restart the engine.
If the IBA OFF indicator light continues to illumi-
nate even if the IBA system is turned on, have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
IBA SYSTEM OPERATION
The IBA system will function when your vehicle is
driven at speeds of approximately 10 MPH
(15 km/h) or above, and when the vehicle’s
speed is approximately 10 MPH (15 km/h) faster
than that of the vehicle ahead.
To turn the system on/off:
1. Push the
button to enter the “Set-
tings” menu in the vehicle information dis-
play, then select using the ENTER button. 2. Use the
buttons to select “Driver As-
sistance”, then press the ENTER button.
3. Use the
buttons to select “Intelligent
Brake Assist”, using the ENTER button the
system can be turned On or Off.
The IBA system will remain in the last ON or OFF
state it was left in until it is changed in the vehicle
information display, see “Driver Assistance” in the
“Instrument and controls” section.
Illumination of the IBA OFF indicator light without
the warning chime sound is an indication that the
IBA system is temporarily unavailable. It will occur
under the following conditions:
When the radar signal is temporarily interrupted.
The IBA OFF indicator light will turn off when the
system returns to its normal operating conditions.
For the sensor maintenance, see “Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system (Full speed range)”.
