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
following objects:
— Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
. The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary
vehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the
FEB system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds over
approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h).
. The radar sensor may not detect a
vehicle ahead in the following condi-
tions:
— Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering the radar sensor. — Interference by other radar
sources.
— Snow or road spray from travel- ing vehicles.
— If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle)
— When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
. In some road or traffic conditions, the
FEB system may unexpectedly push
the accelerator pedal up or apply
partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the
accelerator pedal to override the
system.
. Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces.
. The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s functionality,
within certain limitations. The system
may not detect some forms of ob-
struction of the sensor area such as
ice, snow, 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
the sensor area regularly.
. Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime

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 on lower grille with a soft cloth, and
restart the engine. If the FEB system warn-
ing light continues to illuminate, have the
FEB system checked. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
.When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next
to long walls)
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB system will resume automatically.
Condition C
When the accelerator pedal actuator detects
that the internal motor temperature is high,
the FEB system is automatically turned off.
The FEB system warning light (orange)
and the driver assist system forward indi-
cator (orange)will illuminate and the
“Unavailable High Accelerator Temperature”
warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display. Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB system will resume automatically.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the FEB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound,
the FEB system warning light (orange)
and the driver assist system forward indi-
cator (orange)will illuminate and the
system “malfunction” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
If the FEB system warning light (orange)
comes on, stop the vehicle in a safe location
and place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position. Turn the engine off and restart the
engine. If the warning light continues to

sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the sensor area of the front
bumper clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
. Do not cover or attach stickers or similar
objects on the front bumper near the
sensor area. This could cause failure or
malfunction.
. Do not attach metallic objects near the
sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the PFCW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The PFCW system helps warn the
driver before a collision but will not
avoid a collision. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead
in the same lane.
JVS1123X
The PFCW system uses a radar sensorlocated behind the lower grille of the front
bumper to measure the distance to a second
vehicle ahead in the same lane.

CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to obtain
maximum engine performance and en-
sure the future reliability and economy
of your new vehicle.
Failure to follow these recommendations
may result in shortened engine life and
reduced engine performance.
. Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any
gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible. Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator and brake pedal
application.
.Avoid rapid starts and stops..Use smooth, gentle accelerator andbrake application whenever possible.
.Maintain constant speed while com-muting and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
.Synchronizing your speed with traffic
lights allows you to reduce your
number of stops.
.Maintaining a steady speed can mini-mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency.
3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher vehicle speeds.
.Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is moreefficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
.Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is moreefficient to use A/C to cool the
vehicle due to increased aerodynamic
drag.
.Recirculating the cool air in the cabinwhen the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.
