Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode

Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode  - Intelligent cruise control (ICC) system (Full Speed Range) (if so equipped) - Starting and driving - Infiniti JX Owners Manual - Infiniti JX

This mode allows driving at a speed between 25 to 90 MPH (40 to 144 km/h) without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.

WARNING
● In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, a warning chime does not sound to warn you if you are too close to the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicleto- vehicle distance is detected.
● Pay special attention to the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you or a collision could occur.

● Always confirm the setting in the Intelligent Cruise Control system display.
● Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode when driving under the following conditions:

– when it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed
– in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
– on winding or hilly roads
– on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
– in very windy areas
● Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in an accident.
