FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the FEB system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
•The FEB system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
•The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
–Pedestrians or animals
–Oncoming vehicles
–Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance
limitations. For stationary vehicles, the
FEB system will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds over:
–
Approximately 31 MPH (50 km/h) for
the Autonomous braking function.
•The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
–Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-
ering the radar sensor.
–Interference by other radar sources.
–Snow or heavy rain.
–If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g.
motorcycle).–If the vehicle ahead is in a different
lane.
–Under strong radar reflections, for
example, in a multi-level parking ga-
rage.
–New vehicle or after a maintenance
of the FEB system. For additional in-
formation, see "Break-in schedule"
later in this section
–When driving on a steep downhill
slope or roads with sharp curves.
–When towing a trailer.
•In some road or traffic conditions, the
FEB system may intervene unnecessar-
ily or give an unnecessary warning. Al-
ways pay careful attention to the traffic
situation. Do not rely solely on the dis-
tance warning function and terminate
the intervention if necessary.
•Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.
•The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,
for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. 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.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
If the FEB stops working due to a malfunc-
tion or some other reason, one of the follow-
ing three messages will be displayed in the
vehicle information display.
•[Emergency Brake Currently Unavailable

system is temporarily inoperative due to a
malfunction. The adaptive brake assist func-
tion may also have failed.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer.
[Radar Sensors Dirty See Operator's
Manual]:The FEB system is temporarily re-
stricted or inoperative. Possible causes:
•The sensor behind the INFINITI logo is dirty.
•The function of the FEB system is im-
paired due to heavy rain or snow.
A warning tone also sounds.Once the causes listed above no longer apply,
the display message goes out. The FEB sys-
tem is operative again.
If the display message does not disappear:
•Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as
soon as possible, paying attention to road
and traffic conditions.
•Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
•Switch off the engine.
•Clean the area around the sensors.
•Restart the engine. The display message
disappears.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensorAis located behind the INFINITI
logo at the front of the vehicle.

ACTIVE SOUND ENHANCEMENT
The active sound enhancement generates
sounds according to engine speed through
the speakers
2and woofer1(if equipped)
to enhance the quality of the engine sound.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.

INTELLIGENT PARKING ASSIST (IPA)
(IF EQUIPPED)
5-70Starting and driving

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.
Use IPA for parking spaces that are:
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction
of travel.
•On straight roads, not bends.
•On the same level as the road, e. g. not on
the sidewalk.
For vehicles with the towbar folded out, the
minimum length for parking spaces is slightly
longer.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle,
you may not use IPA. Once the electrical
connection is established between your ve-
hicle and the trailer, IPA is no longer available.
The sonar function is deactivated for the rear
area
DETECTING PARKING SPACES
The IPA system can only be used to park in
spaces that have vehicles directly on either
side of the parking space.
Objects located above the height range of
IPA will not be detected when the parking
space is measured. These are not taken into
account when the parking procedure is calcu-
lated, e. g. overhanging loads, tail sections or
loading ramps of goods vehicles.
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection
range, IPA may steer too early. This could
cause a collision. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and switch off the IPA.
For further information on the detection
range see "Range of the sensors" later in this
section.

PARKING
NOTE
When the sonar function detects obstacles,
you are responsible for braking in good time.
1. Stop the vehicle when the parking symbol
shows the desired parking space in the
combination meter
2. Shift into position R.
The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
3. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
4. To park using IPA press thebutton
on the steering wheel. The Park Assist
[Observe surroundings] message appears
in the vehicle information display.
5. Release the steering wheel.
6. Back up the vehicle, being ready to brake
at all times. When backing up, drive at a
speed below 5 MPH (10 km/h). Other-
wise, IPA will be canceled.
7. Stop as soon as the sonar function sounds
the continuous warning tone, if not be-
fore. Maneuvering may be required in
tight parking spaces.The [Park Assist active Select D Observe
surroundings] message appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
8. Select transmission position D (Drive)
while the vehicle is stationary.
IPA immediately steers in the other direc-
tion.
The [Park Assist Observe surroundings]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
NOTE
You will achieve the best results by wait-
ing for the steering procedure to com-
plete before pulling away.
9. Drive forwards and be ready to brake at
all times.
Maneuvering may be required in tight
parking spaces. Drive forward and back
up as prompted by the IPA and sonar
function warning displays, several times if
necessary.
10. Stop as soon as the sonar function
sounds the continuous warning tone, if
not before.
The [Park Assist active Select R] [Ob-
serve surroundings] message appears in
the vehicle information display.As soon as the parking procedure is
complete the [Park Assist switched off]
message appears and a warning tone
sounds. The vehicle is now parked.
11. Before leaving the vehicle, secure the ve-
hicle against rolling away unintentionally:
•The electric parking brake must be ap-
plied.
•The transmission must be in position P
(Park) and the transmission position
display must show P in the vehicle
information display.
•The key must be removed from the
ignition switch.
•On uphill or downhill gradients, the
front wheels must be turned towards
the curb.
IPA no longer supports you with steering in-
terventions. When IPA is finished, you must
steer again yourself. The sonar function is still
available.
Starting and driving5-73

Parking tips:
•The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of
the location. It may be the case that IPA
guides you too far into a parking space, or
not far enough into it. In some cases, it
may also lead you across or onto the curb.
If necessary you should cancel the parking
procedure with IPA.
•During the parking maneuver, the system
will indicate when you should shift to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive). However, you can
freely choose to shift gear whenever you
feel you need to. Should the transmission
change take place too early, the parking
procedure will be canceled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
EXITING A PARKING SPACE
In order that IPA can support when exiting
the parking space:
•You need to have parked using IPA.
•The border of the parking space must be
high enough at the front and the rear.
A curb stone is too small, for example.
•The border of the parking space must not
be too wide, as the position of the vehicle
must not exceed an angle of 45 degrees to
the starting position as it is manoeuvred
into the parking space.
•A total front and back maneuvering dis-
tance of at least 1.0 m must be available.
IPA can only assist you with exiting a parking
space if you have parked the vehicle parallel
to the direction of travel using IPA.
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 function is deactivated,
IPA is also unavailable.
•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.
1. Start the engine.
2. Release the electric parking brake.
3. Switch on the turn signal in the direction
you are pulling away.
4.Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position D or R
The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
5. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
6. To exit a parking space using IPA: press
thebutton on the steering wheel
The Park Assist [Observe surroundings]
message appears in the display.
7. Release the steering wheel.
8. Pull away, being ready to brake at all
times Do not exceed a maximum speed of
approximately 5 MPH (10 km/h) when
exiting a parking space. Otherwise, IPA
will be canceled.

WARNING
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.
9. Depending on the message or as required,
shift the transmission to position D or R.
IPA immediately steers in the other direc-
tion. The [Observe surroundings] mes-
sage appears in the display.
NOTE
You will achieve the best results by wait-
ing for the steering procedure to com-
plete before pulling away.
If you back up after activation, the steer-
ing wheel is moved to the straight-ahead
position.
10. Drive forward and back up as prompted
by the IPA and sonar function warning
displays, several times if necessary.Once you have exited the parking space com-
pletely, the steering wheel is moved to the
straight-ahead position. You hear a tone and
the [Park Assist switched off] message ap-
pears in the display. You will then have to
steer and merge into traffic on your own. The
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:

onds when an obstacle is detected by only
the corner sensor and the distance does not
change. The tone will stop when the obstacle
moves away from the vehicle.
For the vehicle equipped with front and rear
sensors (Type B and C):
The system informs you about front ob-
stacles with visual and audible signals when
the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and
both front and rear obstacles when the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3 sec-
onds when an obstacle is detected by only
the corner sensor and the distance does not
change. The tone will stop when the obstacle
moves away from the vehicle.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driv-
ing 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 and
brake 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 num-
ber 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 more
efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
•Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.
•Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.
4.
Drive at Economical Speeds and Distances
•Observing the speed limit and not ex-
ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.
•Maintaining a safe following distance
behind other vehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
•Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
•Select a gear range suitable to road
conditions.
5.Use Cruise Control
•Using cruise control during highway
driving helps maintain a steady speed.
•Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.
Utilize a map or navigation system to deter-
mine the best route to save time.6.Avoid Idling
•Shutting off your engine when safe for
stops exceeding 30 seconds saves fuel
and reduces emissions.
7.Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
•Automated passes permit drivers to
use special lanes to maintain cruising
speed through the toll and avoid stop-
ping and starting.
8.Winter Warm Up
•Limit idling time to minimize impact to
fuel economy.
•Vehicles typically need no more than
30 seconds of idling at start-up to ef-
fectively circulate the engine oil before
driving.
•Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat-
ing temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling.
9.Keeping your Vehicle Cool
•Park your vehicle in a covered parking
area or in the shade whenever possible.
•When entering a hot vehicle, opening
the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system.
