intelli cruise control goes haywire if i turn vdc off

if i turn the intelli cruise control option on (car doesnt necessarily have to be set on cruise control) and then turn vdc off.. the car length markers disappear on my dash and the rest of the little cruise control window starts flashing non stop until i turn intelli off. turning vdc back on makes no diff. whats going on here?

That is correct- if you turn VDC off, the intelligent cruise control will not work. Intelligent cruise works in tandem with VDC to make sure the vehicle is safe.

Same with the wipers... Try using ICC and you wipers at the same time... ICC turns right off. (as it should -- you shouldn't be using ICC in the rain)

On the low intermittent mode, ICC does work for me, however, in normal mode, the G beeps and ICC turns off. Dunno... Weird.

On my car that only happens when the wipers are on when I hit the "on" button for the ICC. Once ICC is on, the wipers have no affect.

I noticed this the other day. Mine works on intermittent, but anything higher and it beeps, and turns off the ICC.

I think we had a discussion about this in thr G37 Sedan fourm a few months back. Some people could get the ICC to work with wipers, others couldn't. No one got the ICC to work with VDC off.

ICC only works w/ the VDC on, and the wipers off or on intermittent .... wipers completely on will not let you turn the ICC on

I remembered reading this and decided to give it a try this weekend. Much to my surprise ICC worked in pouring rain with the wipers going full tilt. My car may be a freak of nature. I had issues with the ICC module before and it was 'repaired' about three times already but I guess this is one of the setting that they may have missed (not that I'm complaining). I didn't try turning VDC off but I will to see if that turns the ICC off.
