These days, our vehicles are so loaded with innovative technology that it’s hard to grasp all they're fully capable of. From predictive warnings to reactive autonomous functions, you might be surprised to learn that your 2014 INFINITI QX60 can actually prevent a collision before it happens.
With rear-end accidents being the most frequent type of traffic incident, Intelligent Brake Assist is a proprietary safety feature that helps to mitigate the event. The system utilizes laser radar sensors to monitor the distance between your bumper and a preceding carrier, as well as the relative velocity of cars ahead. With this information, the intelligent CPU is able to detect the likelihood of an issue.
When there is a risk observed, IBA will first alert the driver with audio and visual cues. If no immediate action is taken by the motorist, the QX60 will automatically manipulate the pressure of the dampers to either stop or slow the carrier.
To further impress, this function also works in conjunction with the Pre-Crash Seatbelts to help minimize injuries if the impact is unavoidable. The apprehension of danger ahead triggers the tightening of the security restraints.
