dirt or is obstructed, making it impossible to
detect a vehicle ahead, the DCA system is
automatically canceled.
The chime sounds and the DCA system
warning light (orange) will come on and the
“Unavailable: Front Radar Blocked” warning
will appear.Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle
in a safe place, press the park button to place
the vehicle in the P (Park) position and turn
the engine off. When the radar signal is tem-
porarily interrupted, clean the sensor area
and restart the engine. If the “Unavailable:
Front Radar Blocked” warning continues to
be displayed, have the DCA system checked.
It is recommended you visit and INFINITI
retailer for this service.
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next to
long walls) the system may illuminate the sys-
tem warning light (orange) and display the
“Unavailable Front Radar Blocked” message.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the DCA system will resume automatically.
Condition C:

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), the RAB
system operates.
If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is
detected when your vehicle is backing up, the
RAB system warning indicator will flash in the
vehicle information display, a red frame will
appear in the center display (for vehicles with
the Intelligent Around View Monitor system),
and the system will chime three times. The
system will then automatically apply the
brakes. After the automatic brake applica-
tion, the driver must depress the brake pedal
to maintain brake pressure.
NOTE:∙ The brake lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the RAB
system.
∙ When the brakes operate, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.

10.Keeping your Vehicle Cool
∙ Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever pos-
sible.
∙ 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. ∙ Keep your engine tuned up.
∙ Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
∙ Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
∙ Keep all the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
∙ Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, refer to
“Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tions” in the “Technical and consumer in-
formation” section of this manual. If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent
AWD system while the engine is running,
messages are displayed in the meter.
