ICC LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
•This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
•The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the sys-
tem in city traffic or congested areas.
•This system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
•As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, depend-
ing on the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circumstances in
order to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
•If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. Once the
vehicle is stationary, it remains station-
ary and you do not need to depress the
brake pedal.
•Always pay attention to the operation
of the vehicle and be ready to manually
control the proper following distance.
The ICC system may not be able to main-
tain the selected distance between ve-
hicles (following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some circum-
stances.
•Normally when controlling the distance
to a vehicle ahead, this system auto-
matically accelerates or decelerates
your vehicle according to the speed of
the vehicle ahead. If required, depress
the accelerator to properly accelerate
your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the
brake pedal when deceleration is re- quired to maintain a safe distance to the
vehicle ahead due to its sudden braking
or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert
when using the ICC system.
•The system may not detect the vehicle in
front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the ICC system under the following
conditions: – On roads where the traffic is heavy or
there are sharp curves.
– On slippery road surfaces such as on
ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the
system sensor.
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes).
– On repeated uphill and downhill
roads.
– When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration.
– If there is interference by other radar
sources.

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.

Use the following steps to mount the front
license plate:
Before mounting the license plate, confirm
that the following parts are enclosed in the
plastic bag:Only use the recommended mounting posi-
tion, otherwise the obstruction of the Intelli-
gent Cruise Control (ICC) sensor (if so
equipped) may result.
•License plate bracket
•License plate screws x 2
•Screw grommets x 2
1) Park the vehicle on flat, level ground.
2) Locate the center position
Aas illus-
trated. Line up the license plate bracket
under the top of the front bumper with
the tabs
B. Hold the license plate bracket
in place.
3) Mark the center of the holes
Cwith a
felt-tip pen.
4) Carefully drill two pilot holes using a 10 mm (0.39 in) drill bit at the marked loca-
tions. (Be sure that the drill only goes
through the bumper fascia.)
5) Insert the grommets into the holes in the bumper fascia.
6) Install the license plate bracket with the provided screws.
7) Install the license plate on to the bracket with bolts that are no longer than 14 mm
(0.55 in).
