engine INFINITI QX60 2014 Manual Online

The BSI system operates above approximately
37 MPH (60 km/h). If the system detects a ve-
hicle in the detection zone and your vehicle is
approaching the lane marker, the BSI system
provides an audible warning (three times) ,
flashes the Blind Spot Warning indicator light
and slightly applies the brakes for a short period
of time on one side to help return the vehicle back
to the traveling lane. The BSI system provides an
audible warning and turns on or flashes the Blind
Spot Warning indicator light even if the BSW
system is off.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) indica-
tor light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the BSW indicator
light flashes. The BSW indicator light continues
to flash until the detected vehicles leave the
detection zone.
The BSW indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.The brightness of the BSW indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the bright-
ness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have already
detected vehicles when the driver activates the
turn signal. If a vehicle comes into the detection
zone after the driver activates the turn signal, then
only the BSW indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
in this section.
The BSW system automatically turns on every
time the engine is started, as long as it is acti-
vated using the settings menu on the vehicle
information display.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
1. ACCEL/RES switch
2. COAST/SET switch
3. CANCEL switch
4. ON·OFF switch
●If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
will cancel automatically. The SET indicator
in the vehicle information display will blink to
warn the driver.
●If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will be canceled automatically.
●If the SET indicator blinks, turn the cruise
control main switch off and have the system
checked by your INFINITI retailer.●The SET indicator may sometimes blink
when the cruise control main switch is
turned ON while pushing the ACCEL/RES,
COAST/SET or CANCEL switch. To prop-
erly set the cruise control system, perform
the steps below in the order indicated.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control 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
control and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 MPH (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
ON·OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the vehicle information display will illuminate.

60 MPH (100 km/h) [ft (m)]
1. Long 180 (55)
2. Average 130 (40)
3. Short 80 (25)
●The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed. The
higher the vehicle speed, the longer the dis-
tance.
●If the engine is stopped, the set distance
becomes “long”. (Each time the engine is
started, the initial setting becomes “long”.)
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if
another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the
driver with the chime and ICC system display.
Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to
maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
●The chime sounds.
●The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks
in orange.
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 in-
creasing
●When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
●The vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed, overrid-
ing the system.NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
ICC sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle
Aor on the side of the roadA.
This may cause the ICC system to deceler-
ate or accelerate the vehicle. The ICC sen-
sor may detect these objects when the ve-
hicle is driven on winding roads, narrow
roads, hilly roads, or when entering or exit-
ing a curve. In these cases you will have to
manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.

Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the engine off. When the radar
signal is temporarily interrupted, clean the sensor
area of the front bumper and perform the settings
again.
Condition C:
When the ICC system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the system warning light
(orange) will come on.Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in a
safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the engine,
resume driving and set the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the
system is malfunctioning. Although the ve-
hicle is still driveable under normal condi-
tions, have the vehicle checked at an
INFINITI retailer.Sensor maintenance
The sensor for the ICC systemAis located
behind the front bumper.
To keep the ICC system operating properly, be
sure to observe the following:
●Always keep the sensor area of the front
bumper clean.
●Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
●Do not cover or attach stickers or similar
objects on the front bumper near the sensor
area. This could cause failure or malfunction.

lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle will
resume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h).
Automatic cancellation
Under the following condition, a chime will sound
and the system control is automatically canceled.
●When the vehicle slows down more than
8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed
