service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed because driv-
ing it could be dangerous.
● Pressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel. ●
If the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the ABS warning light illumi-
nate, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the brake system checked, and if
necessary, repaired. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. Avoid
high-speed driving and abrupt braking. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Anti-lock Braking Sys-
tem (ABS) warning light” in this section.
Direct Response Hybrid System warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the hybrid system warning light illuminates. After
starting the hybrid system, the hybrid system
warning light turns off.
If the hybrid system warning light illuminates
while driving, it may indicate that there is a mal-
function in the electric motor and/or other hybrid system components. It is recommended that you
stop your vehicle immediately and contact an
INFINITI retailer.
Electronically controlled brake
warning light (yellow)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the hybrid system is in the READY
mode, the light stays on for about 2 seconds. If

3. To turn off the passenger side temperaturecontrol, touch the “DUAL” key and the
“DUAL” indicator will turn off.
● The Dual control mode cannot be activated
when the air conditioner is in the front de-
frosting mode.
Advanced Climate Control System
(ACCS) (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS)
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using the
ion control and the automatic air intake control
with exhaust gas detecting sensor.
Ion control (if so equipped)
This unit generates highly concentrated Plasma-
cluster® ions into the air blown from the vents
and reduces odor absorbed into the interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the system
generates Plasmacluster® ions automatically.
The amount of Plasmacluster® ions increases
according to the amount of air flow. When the air
flow is high,
is displayed on the screen and
when the air flow is low, the indication in the
screen changes to
.
Plasmacluster® and Plasmacluster® ion are
registered trademarks of Sharp Corporation. Exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor
(if so equipped)
This vehicle may be equipped with an exhaust
gas detection sensor. When the automatic intake
air control is ON, the sensor detects industry
odors such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust
gas such as gasoline or diesel. When such odors
or gas are detected, the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation mode to
the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is pressed
under the following conditions, the indicator light
on the
button will illuminate and the ex-
haust gas detection sensor will turn on.
●
The air flow control is not in the front defroster
mode (the indicator light on the
front
defroster button is turned off) .
● The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C)
or more.
When the automatic intake air control is ON, for
the first 5 minutes, the recirculation mode is
selected to prevent dust, dirt and pollen from
entering the vehicle and cleans the air inside of
the vehicle with positive and negative ions that
are emitted from the vent.
After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust gas
and automatically alternates between the recircu-
lation mode and outside air circulation mode.

Preview Function
The ICC system with the Preview Function iden-
tifies the need to apply emergency braking by
sensing a vehicle ahead in the same lane, and the
distance and relative speed from it. The system
applies the brake pre-pressure before the driver
depresses the brake pedal and helps improve
brake response by reducing pedal free play.● This system will not operate when the ve-
hicle is moving at approximately 20 mph
(32 km/h) or less.
● The pre-pressure function ceases when the
following conditions are met:
1. When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
2. If the driver does not operate the accelerator or brake pedal within approximately 1 sec-
ond. ●
The sensor will not detect:
1. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
2. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
3. Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane as illustrated
WARNING
●This system is only an aid to assist brak-
ing operation and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at
all times. ●
As there is a performance limit to the
Preview Function, never rely solely on
this system. This system does not cor-
rect careless inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome poor vis-
ibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather.
Reduce vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, in order to maintain a safe
distance between vehicles.
● The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. The Preview Function may
not operate properly under the follow-
ing conditions. The vehicle is still drive-
able under normal conditions and the
Brake Assist will operate.
– When rain or snow adhere to the bumper around the distance sensor
– Vehicle position in the lane may cause the sensor to temporarily not
detect a vehicle in the same lane or
may detect objects or vehicles in
other lanes.

1System set display with vehicle ahead
2System set display without vehicle ahead
Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the
ICC system decelerates the vehicle by control-
ling the throttle and applying the brakes to match
the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The system
then controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver
selected distance. NOTE:
● The stoplights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
● When the brake operates, a noise may
be heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and se-
lected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to
resume the previously set vehicle speed. The ICC
system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system
is in operation, the system controls the distance
to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the system will
be canceled.
