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 blinking the vehicle ahead
detection indicator in the vehicle information
display and providing an audible warning. In
addition, the FEB system pushes the accel-
erator pedal up. If the driver releases the
accelerator 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 (flashing) 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
help mitigate the consequences of a collisionshould one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
.
When the steering wheel is turned as far
as necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle de-
tected ahead.
If the FEB system has stopped the vehicle,
the vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the brakes
are released.

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 vehicle ahead
detection indicator and sounding the chime
unexpectedly. You will have to manually
control the proper distance away from the
vehicle traveling ahead.

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)
will illumi-
nate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB system will resume automatically.

Condition B
In the following conditions, the FEB system
is automatically turned off. The FEB system
warning light (orange)
will illuminate and
the “FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION”
warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
. The sensor area on the front of the
vehicle is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed.
Action to take:
If the 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 warning light continues to
illuminate, have the FEB system checked. It
is recommended you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer 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)
will illuminate.
Action to take:

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

could cause failure or malfunction.
. Do not alter, remove or paint the front
bumper. It is recommended you contact
an INFINITI retailer before customizing
or restoring the front bumper.

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.
BREAK-IN SCHEDULE FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

The AWD warning light is located in the
meter.
The AWD warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON position.
It turns off soon after the engine is started.
If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent
AWD system while the engine is running, thewarning light will come on.
The warning light may blink rapidly (about
twice per second) while trying to free a stuck
vehicle due to high power train oil tempera-
ture. The driving mode may change to two-
wheel drive. If the warning light blinks
rapidly during operation, stop the vehicle
with the engine idling in a safe place
immediately. Then if the light goes off after
a while, you can continue driving.
A large difference between the diameters of
front and rear wheels will make the warning
light blink slowly (about once per two
seconds). Pull off the road in a safe area,
and idle the engine. Check that all tire sizes
are the same, tire pressure is correct and
tires are not worn.
If the warning light is blinking after the
above operation, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.WARNING
.
For AWD equipped vehicles, do not
attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with the
engine running. Doing so may result
in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
. Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-
namometer (such as the dynam-
ometers used by some states for
emissions testing) or similar equip-
ment even if the other two wheels are
raised off the ground. Make sure that
you inform the test facility personnel
that your vehicle is equipped with
AWD before it is placed on a dynam-
ometer. Using the wrong test equip-
ment may result in drivetrain damage
or unexpected vehicle movement
which could result in serious vehicle
damage or personal injury.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the engine on a free
roller when any of the wheels are
raised.
. If the warning light comes on while
driving there may be a malfunction in
the AWD system. Reduce the vehicle
speed and have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
