Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

SET CHECKING 

  1. Press the ON/OFF switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
  2. Drive the vehicle between 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).
  3. Push the COAST/SET switch.
  4. Confirm that the desired speed is set as the COAST/SET switch is released.
    NOTE:
    • When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.
    • When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.
    • The set vehicle speed is displayed on the ICC system indicator in the combination meter.

CHECK FOR INCREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED 

  1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
  2. Check if the set speed increases by 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as ACCEL/RES switch is pushed.
    NOTE: The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 144 km/h (89 MPH).

CHECK FOR DECREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED 

  1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
  2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as COAST/SET switch is pushed.
    NOTE:
    • Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically turned off when the driving speed lowers to 32 km/h (20 MPH) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.
    • The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 40 km/h (25 MPH).

CHECK FOR THE CANCELLATION OF VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE (NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES: 

  1. When the brake pedal is depressed after the system is turned on.
  2. When the selector lever is shifted to the "N" (Neutral) position.
  3. When the system is turned off.
  4. When CANCEL switch is operated.

CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED THAT IS SET BY VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE BEFORE CANCELLATION 

  1. Cancel the system by depressing the brake. Then, check that the speed before cancellation is restored when pressing ACCEL/RES switch with vehicle speed at 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above.
  2. Cancel the system by shifting the selector lever to "N". Then, check if the speed set before the cancellation is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is pressed.
  3. Check if the speed previously set is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is operated when driving 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above, after canceling vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode by operating the CANCEL switch.

CHECK ON/OFF SWITCH OPERATION 

  1. Start the engine. Then, check that the following operations are performed correctly.
  2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is displayed when ON/OFF switch is pressed ON. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode goes off when ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF.
  3. Turn off the ignition switch while ON/OFF switch is ON. Turn the ignition switch back to ON and confirm that CRUISE lamp and ICC system display are OFF.
