WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the FEB
system could result in serious personal
injury or death.
.The FEB system is a supplemental aid
to the driver. It is not a replacement
for the driver’s attention to traffic
conditions or responsibility to drive
safely. It cannot prevent accidents
due to carelessness or dangerous
driving techniques.
. The FEB system does not function in
all driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The FEB system can assist the driver when
there is a risk of a forward collision with the
vehicle ahead in the traveling lane.
JVS1123X
The FEB system uses a radar sensorlocated behind the lower grille of the front
bumper to measure the distance to the
vehicle ahead in the same lane.

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 may not be heard.

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a vehicle
traveling ahead. This may cause the FEB
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.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE
Condition A
When the radar sensor picks up interference
from another radar source, making it im-
possible to detect a vehicle ahead, the FEB
system is automatically turned off. The FEB
system warning light (orange)
and the
driver assist system forward indicator (or-
ange)
will illuminate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB system will resume automatically.
Condition B
Under the following conditions, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, 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
“front radar obstruction” warning message
will appear in the vehicle information display.
. When the sensor area of the front

structed

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 hybrid system off. Clean the
radar cover on lower grille with a soft cloth,
and restart the hybrid system. If the FEB
system warning light continues to illuminate,
have the FEB system checked. It is recom-
mended 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 hybrid system off and
restart the hybrid system. If the FEB system
warning light continues to illuminate, have
the FEB system checked. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensoris located behind the lower
grille of the front bumper.
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.
. 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.
