Infiniti QX56 (2006) [248/384] Vehicle to vehicle distance control mode
WARNING
In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning buzzer will not
sound to warn you if you are too close
to the vehicle ahead.
Pay special attention to the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.
For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode,
see the following description. For the conven-
tional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, see
page 5-32.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode,
the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system auto-
matically maintains a selected distance from the
vehicle in front of you according to that vehicle’s
speed, up to the set speed or at the set speed
when the road ahead is clear.
With ICC, the driver can maintain the same
speed as other vehicles without the constant
need to adjust the speed as you would with a
normal cruise control system.
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance mode
operation
Always pay attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle and be ready to manually control the proper
following distance. The Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) system may not be able to maintain the
selected distance between vehicles (following
distance) or selected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
uses a sensor
s
1
located on the front of the
vehicle to detect vehicles ahead. The sensor
generally detects the signals returned from the
reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the
sensor cannot detect the reflector of the vehicle
ahead, the ICC system may not maintain the
selected distance.
The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot detect the signals:
When the reflector is positioned high on the
vehicle (trailer, etc.).
When the reflector on the vehicle ahead is
missing, damaged or covered.
When the reflector is covered with dirt, snow
and road spray.
When the snow or road spray from other
vehicles reduces the sensor’s visibility.
When dense exhaust or other smoke (black
smoke) from vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility.
When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the cargo area of your
vehicle.
When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation. When the sensor is
covered with dirt or obstructions, the system will
automatically be canceled. If the sensor is cov-
ered with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl
bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In
