when the above conditions no longer exist.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the BCI system malfunctions, it will turn
off automatically, a chime will sound and
“Malfunction” warning message will appear
in the vehicle information display
.
Action to take
Stop the vehicle in a safe location and place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position. Turn

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the BCI system
are located near the rear bumper. Always
keep the area near the radar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors. Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer if the area around the radar sensors
is damaged due to a collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
.If the cruise control system malfunctions,
it will cancel automatically. The cruise
indicator (green) in the vehicle informa-
tion display will then blink to warn the
driver.
. If the engine coolant temperature be-
comes excessively high, the cruise con-
trol system will be canceled
automatically.
. If the cruise indicator (green) blinks, turn
the cruise control main switch off and
have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
. The cruise indicator (green) may some-
times blink when the cruise control main
switch is turned ON while pushing the
ACCELERATE/RESUME, COAST/SET
or CANCEL switch. To properly 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
vehicle 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.

How to change set distance to
vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
is
pushed, the set distance will change to long,
middle, short and back to long again in that
sequence.WAF0310X
. The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed.
The higher the vehicle speed, the longer
the distance.
. 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 depres-
sing the brake pedal to maintain a safe

.When the radar sensor area of the front
bumper is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed.
Action to take:
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever in
the P (Park) position and turn the engine off.
When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted, clean the sensor area of the front
bumper and restart the engine. If the warn-
ing message continues to be displayed, have
the ICC system checked. It is recommended
you visit an 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)
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn the ICC system back on to use the
system.

Condition C:
When the ICC system is not operating
properly, the chime sounds and the ICC
system warning (yellow) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning 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
ICC system is malfunctioning. Although the
vehicle is still driveable under normal con-
ditions, have the vehicle checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The setvehicle speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the cruise indicator and set vehicle speed
indicator will turn off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the COAST/SET switch.
2. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RE- SUME set switch. When the vehicle
attains the speed you desire, release
the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the ACCEL- ERATE/RESUME switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the COAST/SET switch and release it.
2. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Release the switch when the vehicle
slows down to the desired speed. 3. Push, then quickly release the COAST/
SET switch. Each time you do this, the
set speed will decrease by about 1 MPH
(1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCELERATE/RESUME
switch. The vehicle will resume the last set
cruising speed when the vehicle speed is over
25 MPH (40 km/h).
System temporarily unavailable
Under the following condition, a chime will
sound and the system control is automati-
cally canceled.
. When the vehicle slows down more than
8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed
. When the shift lever is shifted to the N
(Neutral) position
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the VDC (including the traction
control system) operates.

FEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETEC-
TION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the FEB with pedestrian detection
system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
.
The FEB with pedestrian detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrians under all conditions. .
The radar sensor FEB with pedes-
trian detection system does not de-
tect the following objects:
— Small pedestrians (including small children), animals and cyclists.
— Pedestrians in wheelchairs or using mobile transport such as
scooters, child-operated toys, or
skateboards.
— Pedestrians who are seated or otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position.
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
— Obstacles on the roadside
. The FEB with pedestrian detection
system has some performance limita-
tions.
— If a stationary vehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the FEB with pe-
destrian detection system will not
function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 50
MPH (80 km/h).
— For pedestrian detection, the FEB with pedestrian detection
system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds
