brake sensor INFINITI QX30 2018 User Guide

IPA is an electronic parking aid with ultra-
sound. It detects vehicles and open spaces on
both sides of the vehicle. A parking symbol
indicates a suitable parking space. Active
steering intervention can assist you during
parking and when exiting a parking space.
The driver controls the accelerator, brake and
gear shift. You may also use the Camera Aid-
ing Sonar (parking sensor) function (see "
Camera Aiding Sonar (parking sensor) func-
tion (if equipped)" later in this section).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute
for your attention to the immediate sur-
roundings. The responsibility for safe
maneuvering and parking remains with
you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or
objects are in the maneuvering range
•When the sonar (parking sensor) func-
tion is deactivated, IPA is also unavail-
able.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can
drive onto areas of the oncoming lane.
This could cause you to collide with other road users. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop
the vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA
parking procedure
•This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
•This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
Do not drive over obstacles such as curbs,
as you may damage the wheels or tires.
IPA may also display spaces not suitable for
parking, for example:
•Parking or stopping prohibition.
•In front of driveways or entrances and
exits.
•Unsuitable surfaces.
Parking tips:
•On narrow roads, drive as closely as pos-
sible past the parking space.
•Parking spaces that are littered or over-
grown might be identified or measured
incorrectly.
•Parking spaces that are partly occupied by
trailer towing bars might not be identified
as such or be measured incorrectly.
•Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a park-
ing space being measured inaccurately.
•Pay attention to the sonar function warn-
ing messages during the parking proce-
dure.
•You can intervene in the steering proce-
dure to correct it at any time. IPA will then
be canceled.
•When transporting a load which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use IPA.
•Never use IPA when snow chains are fit-
ted.
•Make sure that the tire pressures are al-
ways correct. This has a direct influence on
the parking characteristics of the vehicle.

sonar function is still available. You can take
over the steering before the vehicle has ex-
ited the parking space completely. This is use-
ful, for example when you recognize that it is
already possible to pull out of the parking
space.
CANCELING IPA
Stop the movement of the steering wheel or
steer yourself. IPA will be immediately can-
celed. The [Park Assist canceled] message
appears in the vehicle information display.
or
Press the sonar function OFF switch. The
sonar function is switched off and IPA is
immediately canceled The [Park Assist can-
celed] message appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
IPA is canceled automatically if:
•The electric parking brake is applied
•Parking using IPA is no longer possible
•You are driving faster than 5 MPH (10
km/h)
•A wheel spins and VDC intervenes or fails.
Thewarning light lights up in the
combination meter. A warning tone sounds. The parking symbol
disappears and the vehicle information dis-
play shows the [Park Assist canceled] mes-
sage.
When IPA is canceled, you must steer again
yourself.
WARNING
•The sonar function is a convenience but
it is not a substitute for proper parking.
Always look around and check that it is
safe to do so before parking. Always
move slowly.
•Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar function as contained in this
section. Inclement weather may affect
the function of the sonar function; this
may include reduced performance or a
false activation.
•The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
•The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects that are too close to the bumper
or on the ground.
•Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors (if
equipped) (located on the front and rear
bumper fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the sur-
face of the sonar sensors when cleaning. If
the sensors are covered, the accuracy of
the sonar function will be diminished.During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), fol-
low these recommendations to obtain maxi-
mum engine performance and ensure the fu-
ture reliability and economy of your new
vehicle. Failure to follow these recommenda-
tions may result in shortened engine life and
reduced engine performance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow, and 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.
•Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 mi
(805 km). Your engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.
You should also observe these notes on
break-in if the engine or parts of the drive
train on your vehicle have been replaced.
CAUTION
In certain driving and driving safety sys-
tems, the sensors adjust automatically
while a certain distance is being driven af-
ter the vehicle has been delivered or after
repairs. Full system effectiveness is not
reached until the end of this teach-in pro-
cess.
Brake pads/linings and rotors that are ei-
ther new or have been replaced only
achieve optimum braking effect after sev-
eral hundred miles of driving. Compensate
for the reduced braking effect by applying
greater force to the brake pedal

Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic fea-
ture that tests the system each time you start
the engine and move the vehicle at a low
speed in forward or reverse. When the self-
test occurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise
and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal.
This is normal and does not indicate a mal-
function. If the computer senses a malfunc-
tion, it switches the ABS off and illuminates
the ABS warning light on the instrument
panel. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. If the
ABS warning light illuminates during the self-
test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6
MPH (5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies ac-
cording to road conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or more
wheels are close to locking up, the actuator
rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pres-
sure. This action is similar to pumping the
brakes very quickly. You may feel a pulsation
in the brake pedal and hear a noise from
under the hood or feel a vibration from the
actuator when it is operating. This is normal
and indicates that the ABS is operating prop-
erly. However, the pulsation may indicate
that road conditions are hazardous and extra
care is required while driving.The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system
uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs
and vehicle motion. Under certain driving
conditions, the VDC system helps to perform
the following functions.
•Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel
slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is
transferred to a non slipping drive wheel
on the same axle.
•Controls brake pressure and engine output
to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function).
•Controls brake pressure at individual
wheels and engine output to help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle in the
following conditions: – understeer (vehicle tends to not follow the steered path despite increased
steering input)
– oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving conditions).
The VDC system can help the driver to main-
tain control of the vehicle, but it cannot pre-
vent loss of vehicle control in all driving situ-
ations.

function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on after 1
minute. It is recommended you Contact
an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible
for tire replacement and/or system re-
setting.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
•If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, the TPMS
sensor should be checked when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When the
low tire pressure warning light is lit, and a tire
pressure-related warning (if equipped) ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, one
or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. If the vehicle is being driven with low
tire pressure, the TPMS will activate and
warn you of it by the low tire pressure warn-
ing light (in the meter panel). This system will
activate only when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). For more details about the TPMS, see "Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)" in the
"5. Starting and driving" section.
STOPPING VEHICLE
WARNING
•Be sure to apply the parking brake
firmly.
•Be sure that P (Park) is engaged.
•Never change tires when the vehicle is
on a slope, ice or slippery area. This is
hazardous.
•Never change tires when the oncoming
traffic is close to your vehicle. Call for
professional road assistance.
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard indicator flasher lights.
3. Park on a level surface.
4. Apply the parking brake.
5. Press the P (Park) button.
6. Turn off the engine. 7. Open the hood and set up the triangle
reflector (if equipped):
•To warn other traffic.
•To signal professional road assistance
personnel that you need assistance.
8. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in a safe place, away from
other traffic and clear of the vehicle.
In case of emergency6-3

brake pad wear. For additional informa-
tion on wheel offset dimensions, refer to
"Wheels and Tires" in the "9. Mainte-
nance and Schedules" section.
•When a replacement tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on after 1
minute. Contact an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
•The TPMS sensor may be damaged if it
is not handled correctly. Be careful when
handling the TPMS sensor.
•When replacing the TPMS sensor, the ID
registration may be required. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for ID registration.
•Do not use a valve stem cap that is not
specified by INFINITI. The valve stem
cap may become stuck.
•Be sure that the valve stem caps are cor-
rectly fitted. Otherwise the valve may be clogged up with dirt and cause a mal-
function or loss of pressure.
•Do not install a damaged or deformed
wheel or tire even if it has been repaired.
Such wheels or tires could have struc-
tural damage and could fail without
warning.
•The use of retread tires is not recom-
mended.
•For additional information regarding
tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety In-
formation" (US) or "Tire Safety Infor-
mation" (Canada) in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.
Care of wheels
•Wash the wheels when washing the ve-
hicle to maintain their appearance.
•Clean the inner side of the wheels when
the wheel is changed or the underside of
the vehicle is washed.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners when wash-
ing the wheels.
•Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
•INFINITI recommends waxing the road
wheels to protect against road salt in ar-
eas where it is used during winter.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle han-
dling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be performed
with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balanc-
ing the wheels on the vehicle could lead to
mechanical damage.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to "Important Tire Safety Information"
(US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada)
in the Warranty Information Booklet.
