Infiniti QX56 Automobile User Manual


 
The system is intended to enhance the operation
of the vehicle when following another vehicle
traveling in the same lane and direction.
If the distance sensor
1
detects a slower mov-
ing vehicle ahead of you, the system will reduce
your speed so that you follow the vehicle in front
of you at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle
and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle
braking power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
WARNING
This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the
system in city traffic or congested
areas.
This system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
The distance sensor will not detect under most
conditions:
Stationary and slow moving vehicles
Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
Motorcycles or scooters traveling offset in
the travel lane
This system will not automatically brake
the vehicle to a stop.
WARNING
As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control
system. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in
rain, fog, or other bad weather. Deceler-
ate the vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to maintain
a safe distance between vehicles.
Although the brake operation is con-
trolled by the system, the system does
not automatically stopthe vehicle. Ifthe
vehicle speed falls below approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h), the Intelli-
gent Cruise Control system is automati-
cally canceled and a warning chime
sounds. (The brake control is also
canceled.)
