the Preview Function is malfunctioning
(the brake is operative). Although the Ve-

Sensor maintenance
The sensor for the Preview Function, is common
with Intelligent Cruise Control and is located
below the front bumper.
To keep the PreviewFunction operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
Always keep the sensor clean. Wipe with a
soft cloth carefully so as not to damage
them.
Do not impact the areas around the sensor.
Do not touch or disassemble the screw lo-
cated on the sensor. Doing so could cause
failure or malfunction. If the sensor installa-
tion part is deformed due to an accident,
contact an INFINITI dealer.
Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
sensor. This could cause failure or malfunc-
tion.
