The DCA system is intended to assist the
driver in keeping a following distance from
the vehicle ahead traveling in the same lane
and direction.
If the radar sensor
detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce
the vehicle speed to help assist the driver to
maintain a following distance.
The system automatically controls the throt-
tle and applies the brakes (up to approxi-
mately 40% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

TURNING THE DCA SYSTEM ON/
OFF
To turn on the DCA system, push the
dynamic driver assistance switchon the
steering wheel after starting the engine. The
driver assistance switch indicator
in the
vehicle information display will appear. Push
the dynamic driver assistance switch
again
to turn off the DCA system. The driver
assistance switch indicator
will turn off.
The system will start to operate after the
vehicle speed is above approximately 3 MPH
(5 km/h).
The dynamic driver assistance switch
is
used for the DCA, Active Lane Control (if so
equipped), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)
and Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) systems.
When the dynamic driver assistance switch
is pushed, Active Lane Control, LDP and
BSI systems will also turn on or off simulta-
neously. The DCA system can be individually
set to on or off on the lower display
. If the
system is set to off, the system will not turn
on even if the dynamic driver assistance
switch
is pushed to on. To set the system
to on or off on the display, see “How to
enable/disable the DCA system” (P.5-97).
When the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode is operating, the DCA system
will not operate. (To use the DCA system,

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the sensor
may detect vehicles in a different lane, or
may temporarily not detect a vehicle travel-
ing ahead. This may cause the system to
work inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering man-
euver or traveling position in the lane, etc.) or
vehicle condition.If this occurs, the system
may warn you by blinking the system
indicator and sounding the chime unexpect-
edly. You will have to manually control the
proper distance away from the vehicle
traveling ahead.

properly, the chime sounds, the driver assist
system forward indicator (orange) and the
system “malfunction” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display. Action to take:
If the driver assist system forward indicator
(orange) and the warning message appear,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and place the
shift lever in the P (Park) position. Turn the
engine off, restart the engine, and turn on
the DCA system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the
system is malfunctioning. Although the
vehicle is still driveable under normal con-
ditions, have the vehicle checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the DCA system is common
with the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system and is located behind the lower grille
of the front bumper.
For the sensor maintenance, see “Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC)” (P.5-71).

FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB system will provide the first warning to
the driver by flashing the driver assist system
forward indicator (orange)
and the vehicle
ahead detection indicator (orange), and
providing an audible warning. In addition,
the FEB system pushes the accelerator
pedal up. If the driver releases the accel-
erator pedal, then the system applies partial
braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the FEB
system detects that there is still the possi-
bility of a forward collision, the system will
automatically increase the braking force.
If a forward collision is imminent and the
driver does not take action, the FEB system
issues the second visual (red) and audible
warning and automatically applies harder
braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the FEB system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to
the vehicle ahead, as well as driving and
roadway conditions, the system may help
the driver avoid a forward collision or may

To keep the system operating properly, be
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.
