Hands on detection
When the Steering Assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel opera-
tion.
If the steering wheel is not operated or the
driver takes his/her hands off the steering
wheel for a period of time, the warning (1)
appears in the vehicle information display.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been displayed,
an audible alert sounds and the warning
flashes in the vehicle information display, fol-
lowed by a quick brake application to request
the driver to take control of the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the ProPI-
LOT Assist turns on the hazard flasher and
slows the vehicle to a complete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at any
time by steering, braking, accelerating, or op-
erating the ProPILOT Assist switch.

warning chime sound, and the beep may
not be heard.
∙ For the ProPILOT Assist system to oper- ate properly, the windshield in front of
the camera must be clean. Replace worn
wiper blades. The correct size wiper
blades must be used to help make sure the
windshield is kept clean. Only use Genu-
ine INFINITI wiper blades, or equivalent
wiper blades, that are specifically de-
signed for use on your vehicle model and
model year. It is recommended that you
visit your INFINITI retailer for the correct
parts for your vehicle.
Steering Assist temporary standby

CRUISE CONTROL MODE
NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steering as-
sist in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode.
This mode allows driving at a speed between
25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
∙ In the conventional (fixed speed) cruisecontrol mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence
of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.
∙ Pay special attention to the distance be- tween your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
of you or a collision could occur.
∙ Always confirm the setting in the ICC system display.
∙ Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode when driving under
the following conditions: – When it is not possible to keep the ve-
hicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
– On winding or hilly roads
– On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
– In very windy areas
∙ Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle con- trol and result in an accident.

DCA SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the DCA system
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
∙ When the vehicle ahead detection indica- tor light is not illuminated, the system
will not control the vehicle or warn the
driver.
∙ Never place your foot under the brake pedal. Your foot may be caught when the
system controls the brake.
∙ Depending on the position of the accel- erator pedal, the system may not be able
to assist the driver to release the accel-
erator pedal appropriately.
LSD3562
Starting and driving5-135

The DCA system brakes and moves the ac-
celerator pedal upward according to the dis-
tance from and the relative speed of the ve-
hicle ahead to help assist the driver in
maintaining a following distance. The system
will decelerate as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle deceler-
ates to a standstill. However, the DCA sys-
tem can only apply up to approximately 40%
of the vehicle’s total braking power. If a ve-
hicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if
a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may become
closer because the DCA system cannot de-
celerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this
occurs, the DCA system will sound a warning
chime and blink the system display to notify
the driver to take necessary action. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Approach warn-
ing” in this section.The DCA system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accelerator
pedal upward in the normal driving condition.
When a vehicle is detected ahead:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on.When vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead:
∙ If the driver’s foot is not on the accelera- tor pedal, the system activates the brakes
to decelerate smoothly as necessary. If
the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system.
∙ If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to re-
lease the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by driver is required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detec-
tion indicator. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal after the warning, the sys-
tem moves the accelerator pedal upward to
assist the driver to switch to the brake pedal.
NOTE: ∙ The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
∙ When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
LSD2991
5-136Starting and driving

Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operations override the
system operation:∙ When the driver depresses the accelera- tor pedal even further while the system is
moving the accelerator pedal upward,
the DCA system control of the accelera-
tor pedal is canceled.
∙ When the driver’s foot is on the accelera- tor pedal, the brake control by the system
is not operated.
∙ When the driver’s foot is on the brake pedal, neither the brake control nor the
alert by the system operates.
∙ When the ICC system is set, the DCA system will be canceled.Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system
warns the driver with the chime and DCA
system display. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:
∙ The chime sounds.
∙ The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance between
vehicles. Some examples are: ∙ When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing
∙ When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster and the distance between vehicles
is increasing
∙ When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when your
vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked
or moving slowly. NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound and
the system display may blink when the radar
sensor detects objects on the side of the
road. This may cause the DCA system to de-
celerate or accelerate the vehicle. The radar
sensor may detect these objects when the
vehicle is driven on winding roads, narrow
roads, hilly roads or when entering or exiting
a curve. In these cases you will have to manu-
ally control the proper distance ahead of
your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driv-
ing position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle
condition (for example, if a vehicle is being
driven with some damage).

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
DCA SYSTEM
To turn on the DCA system, push the dynamic
driver assistance switch (for models without
ProPILOT Assist) or the ProPILOT Assist
switch (for models with ProPILOT Assist) on
the steering wheel after starting the engine.
The DCA system switch indicator light in the
vehicle information display will illuminate.
Push the dynamic driver assistance switch
(for models without ProPILOT Assist) or the
ProPILOT Assist switch (for models with
ProPILOT Assist) on the steering wheel again
to turn off the DCA system. The DCA system
switch indicator light will turn off.
The system will start to operate after the
vehicle speed becomes above approximately
3 mph (5 km/h).
The dynamic driver assistance switch (for
models without ProPILOT Assist) or the Pro-
PILOT Assist switch (for models with ProPI-
LOT Assist) on the steering wheel is used for
the LDP, DCA and BSI systems. When the
dynamic driver assistance switch (for models
without ProPILOT Assist) or the ProPILOT
Assist switch (for models with ProPILOT As-
sist) on the steering wheel is pushed, the LDP
system will also turn on or off simultaneously.
The DCA system can be individually set to on
