Precautions For Predictive Forward Collision Warning
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The predictive forward collision warning system is designed to warn driver before a collision but will not avoid a collision. It is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
- The radar sensor does not detect the following objects.
- Pedestrians, animals, or obstacles in the roadway.
- Oncoming vehicles
- Crossing vehicles
- The predictive forward collision warning system does not function when a vehicle ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
- The radar sensor may not detect a second vehicle ahead in the following conditions:
- Snow or heavy rain
- Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering the radar sensor
- Interference by other radar sources
- Snow or road spray from traveling vehicles is splashed
- Driving in a tunnel
- Towing a trailer or other vehicle
- The radar sensor may not detect a second vehicle when the vehicle ahead is being towed.
- When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close, the beam of the radar sensor is obstructed.
- The radar sensor may not detect a second vehicle when driving on a steep downhill slope or on roads with sharp curves.
- Excessive noise will interfere with the warning tone sound, and it may not be heard.
