sensor INFINITI QX50 2023 Manual PDF

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the sensor may
detect vehicles in a different lane, or may
temporarily not detect a vehicle traveling
ahead. This may cause the system to work
inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operating (steering maneu-
ver or traveling position in the lane, etc.) or
vehicle condition. If this occurs, the system
may warn you by blinking the system indica-
tor and sounding the chime unexpectedly.You will have to manually control the proper
distance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
In the following conditions, the FEB with
Pedestrian Detection system warning light
blinks and the system will be turned off
automatically.
• The radar sensor picks up interference fromanother radar source.
• The camera area of the windshield is misted or frozen.
• Strong light is shining from the front.
• The cabin temperature is over approxi- mately 104°F (40°C) in direct sunlight.
• The camera area of the windshield glass is continuously covered with dirt, etc.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will resume automatically.
NOTE:
When the inside of the windshield or camera
area is misted or frozen, it will take a period
of time to remove it after A/C turns ON.
If dirt appears on this area have it checked.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

Condition B:
In the following conditions, the FEB with Pe-
destrian Detection system warning light will
illuminate, the system will be turned off au-
tomatically and the “Forward Driving Aids
temporarily disabled Front Sensor blocked
See Owner’s Manual” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display.
• The sensor area of the front bumper iscovered with dirt or is obstructed.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe place, place the shift po-
sition in the P (Park) position and turn the
engine off. Clean the radar sensor area of the
front bumper or the camera area of the wind-
shield with a soft cloth, and restart the engine.
If the warning light continues to illuminate,
have the FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Condition C:
When driving on roads with limited road struc-
tures or buildings (for example, long bridges,
deserts, snow fields, driving next to long walls).
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the FEB with pedestrian detection system
will resume automatically.
NOTE:
If the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
stops working, the PFCW system (if so
equipped) will also stop working.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
malfunctions, it will be turned off automati-
cally, a chime will sound, the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system warning light (orange)
will illuminate and the warning message
[Malfunction] will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe location, turn the engine
off and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the FEB with
Pedestrian Detection system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
NOTE:
If the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
stops working, the PFCW system (if so
equipped) will also stop working.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensorOAis located on the front of
the vehicle. The camera
OBis located on the
upper side of the windshield.
To keep the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system operating properly, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
• Always keep sensor areas of the front bumper and windshield clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensors (ex. Bumper, windshield).

• Do not cover or attach stickers, or installany accessory near the sensors. This could
block sensor signals, and/or cause failure
or malfunction.
• Do not attach metallic objects near the ra- dar sensor (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.
• Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit's detection
capability.
• Do not alter, remove or paint the front bumper. Before customizing or restoring
the front bumper, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the PFCW system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The PFCW system can help warn the
driver before a collision occurs but will
not avoid a collision. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead
in the same lane.
The PFCW system uses a radar sensor
OAlocated on the front of the vehicle to measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the PFCW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
• The PFCW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensor does not detect the fol-
lowing objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in
the roadway –
Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
• (Illustration A) The PFCW system does
not function when a vehicle ahead is a
narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
• The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Snow or heavy rain.
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-
ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources. –
Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel.
– (Illustration B) When the vehicle
ahead is being towed.
–
(Illustration C) When the distance to
the vehicle ahead is too close, the beam
of the radar sensor is obstructed.
– (Illustration D) When driving on a
steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.

•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,
etc. In these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver properly. 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.
