The Infiniti approach to safety is threefold: make the drivers life easier, minimize danger, prevent damage/injury. Infiniti Safety Shield is our comprehensive approach to safety. It includes rigorous crash testing, over 50 standard safety features on every vehicle and available advanced safety technologies. Infiniti Safety Shield is designed and developed into every vehicle we build to help protect you and your passengers.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Using the FX’s laser rangefinder, this feature helps alert the driver of an imminent collision by providing a visual and an audible warning.
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
This active safety feature continuously monitors and analyzes closing speeds to a vehicle ahead or to a stationary obstacle. If the driver does not adequately respond to the FCW and a collision cannot be avoided, IBA will automatically engage the brakes to help reduce collision speed and impact, thus mitigating the consequences of the accident.
Distance Control Assist (DCA) - View Video
This system ensures your Infiniti maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front, using the brakes to re-establish a safe distance and even stopping the vehicle if necessary.
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
Whether at freeway speeds or in heavy traffic, the ICC’s laser sensors guarantee you’re never too close to the vehicle up ahead. The latest Full Speed Range version of ICC manages speed and distance right down to a complete halt.
Lane Departure Warning and Prevention - View Video
Lane Departure Warning has been part of Infiniti’s safety story for a while. With the addition of Lane Departure Prevention, the warning is backed with action - slight brake pressure on one side of the car eases it back into line, lane and safety.
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive
Infiniti’s advanced Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system for sedans and crossovers provides outstanding handling in poor conditions such as snow or unmade roads by apportioning torque to the wheels that need it most. It delivers rear-wheel drive performance when you want it and all-wheel drive control when you need it.
Vehicle Dynamic Control with Traction Control System
Infiniti’s stability control system mitigates wheelspin and understeer/oversteer on slippery roads and automatically adjusts brake pressure and torque to help keep the vehicle on its intended path.
Around View Monitor - View Video
The Around View Monitor takes the idea of a rear parking camera a step further by providing a unique 360 degree bird’s eye view that allows the car to be positioned with ease.
Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
AFS uses bi-xenon headlights that turn automatically with the steering wheel to help the driver see around bends at night.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Transmitters inside each wheel monitor air pressure. A warning lamp illuminates automatically if any one tire falls below 75 per cent of normal pressure.
Pop-up Hood
In the event of a pedestrian collision, a small pyrotechnic charge raises the hood to create a potentially life-saving “cushion” on top of the unyielding engine parts.
