INFINITI QX50 2020 Owner's Manual

To cancel the preset speed, use any of the
following methods:1. Push the CANCEL switch. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the ICC switch off. Both the cruise indicator and vehicle speed indicator will
turn off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods: 1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET- switch.
2. Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, re-
lease the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by about 1 mph
(1 km/h). To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the SET- switch and release it.
2. Push and hold the SET- switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows down
to the desired speed.
3. Push, then quickly release the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will decrease by about 1 mph
(1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and release
the RES+ switch. The vehicle will resume the
last set cruising speed when the vehicle speed
is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

System temporarily unavailable
A chime sounds under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed:∙ When the vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed
∙ When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) or manual shift mode
∙ When the electronic parking brake is ap- plied
∙ When the VDC operates (including the traction control system)
∙ When a wheel slips
When the system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the color of the cruise
indicator will change to orange.
Action to take
If the color of the cruise indicator changes to
orange, stop the vehicle in a safe place and
press the Park button to place the vehicle in
the P (Park) position. Turn the engine off,
restart the engine, resume driving, and then
perform the setting again.

If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system is
malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, have the
vehicle checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ProPILOT Assist
system could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving sys-tem. Within the limits of its capabilities,
as described in this manual, it helps the
driver with certain driving activities.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is not a re- placement for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct careless,
inattentive or absent-minded driving.
ProPILOT Assist will not always steer
the vehicle to keep it in the lane. The Pro-
PILOT Assist system is not designed to
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ There are limitations to the ProPILOT Assist system capability. The ProPILOT
Assist system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road condi-
tions. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times. ∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is only an
aid to assist the driver and is not a colli-
sion warning or avoidance device.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is for high- way use only and is not intended for city
driving. Failure to apply the brakes or
steer the vehicle when necessary may re-
sult in a serious accident.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Never take your hands off the steering wheel when driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and drive
your vehicle safely.
∙ Never unfasten your safety belt when us- ing ProPILOT Assist. Doing so automati-
cally cancels the ProPILOT Assist
system.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system does not re- act to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.

∙ Always drive carefully and attentivelywhen using the ProPILOT Assist system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the Pro-
PILOT Assist system. To avoid serious in-
jury or death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the vehi-
cle’s speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ProPILOT Assist system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same lane
and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera
Ainstalled behind the
windshield and a radar sensor located on the
front of the vehicle
Bto measure the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane
and to monitor the lane markers. If the vehicle
detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the
system will reduce the vehicle speed so that
your vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance. The system will also help keep the vehicle centered in the traveling lane
when clear lane markings are detected.

4ProPILOT Assist switch
The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow-
ing two functions: 1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes:
∙ Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode: For cruising at a preset
speed
NOTE:
Steering assist is not available in the conven-
tional (fixed speed) cruise control mode. ∙Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: The ICC system maintains a se-
lected distance from the vehicle in
front of you within the speed range of
0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up to the
set speed. The set speed can be se-
lected by the driver between 20 to
LSD2996
Starting and driving5-103

90 mph (30 to 144 km/h). When the
vehicle ahead slows to a stop, your
vehicle gradually decelerates to a
standstill. When the vehicle is stopped,
the ICC system maintains braking
force to keep your vehicle stopped.
NOTE:
When your vehicle is stopped for less than
3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to
move, your vehicle will start moving again
automatically. – When your vehicle is at a standstill formore than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the ac-
celerator pedal. The ICC system starts
to follow the vehicle ahead.
– When no vehicle is detected ahead within the driver selected distance, the
vehicle travels at the speed set by the
driver. The speed must be above
20 mph (30 km/h) to use this func-
tion. NOTE:
Even if the Forward Emergency Braking
with Pedestrian Detection setting is turned
off by the driver using the “Driver Assis-
tance” menu in the lower display, Forward
Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detec-
tion will be automatically turned on when
ICC is used.
2. Steering Assist
The Steering Assist function controls the
steering system to help keep your vehicle
within the traveling lane.
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering
Assist is not available at speeds under
37 mph (60 km/h).

speed
The set vehicle speed can be adjusted.
To change to a faster cruising speed:
∙ Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set vehicle speed increases by approximately
5 mph (5 km/h).
∙ Push, then quickly release, the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed increases by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h). To change to a slower cruising speed:
∙ Push and hold the SET- switch. The set vehicle speed decreases by approxi-
mately 5 mph (5 km/h).
∙ Push, then quickly release, the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed decreases by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h).
How to momentarily accelerate or
decelerate
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal when ac-celeration is required. Release the accel-
erator pedal to resume the previously set
vehicle speed.
∙ Depress the brake pedal when decelera- tion is required. Control by the ProPILOT
Assist system is canceled. Push the RES+
switch to resume the previously set ve-
hicle speed.
