CHIME DOES NOT SOUND
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005146013
The chime may not sound occasionally in the following cases even if the distance from the vehicle ahead is
short:
• When the speed difference from that of the vehicle ahead is small (both vehicles driving at similar speed).
• When the vehicle ahead drives at faster s peed (the actual distance is increasing).
• When depressing the accelerator.
• Chime does not sound when the vehicle is not driving.
• Chime does not sound when the system does not det ect any vehicle ahead. Diagnose the conditions under
which the system is detecting the vehicle ahead and when t he system is malfunctioning. If there is any mal-
function in detecting the vehicle ahead. Refer to CCS-65, "
Diagnosis Procedure".

PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
• Intelligent Cruise Control is functionally limited. This never support careless driving and low visibility (rain,
fog, etc.). Drive the vehicle safely. Keep a safe distance between vehicles by decreasing the vehicle speed
according to the driving condition etc.
• Intelligent Cruise Control never stop the vehicle automatically. Intelligent Cruise Control is automatically released, and the buzzer sounds if any vehicle ahead is not detected when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 35 km (21.5 MPH) or less.
• Use this system when the vehicle speed does not ex tremely change. This system may not properly function
when any vehicle cuts in, or when the vehicle ahead suddenly applies the brake. Then, the warning (buzzer
and indication) activates.
• Never use Intelligent Cruise Control in the following conditions.
- A well-trafficed road, and a tight turn. It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition.
- A slippery road (e.g., freezing, or snowy road) The vehicle may lose the control by wheelspin.
- The vehicle drives in bad whether (rain, fog, snow etc.). The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if the whether condition is bad. Intelligent
Cruise Control is released automatically if the wiper activates in low or high speed.
- The vehicle receives bright light (sunshine etc.). The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if bright light enters in the vehicle.
- Raindrop or snow is on the sensor.
The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected precisely if raindrop or snow attaches on the sensor.
- A steep downhill The setting vehicle speed may exceed if Intelligent Cr uise Control does not detect the vehicle ahead. The
brake may heat up in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode.
- A repeated uphill and downhill Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicle ahead precisely. An accident may occur by tailgating.
- Maintaining proper vehicle distance is diff icult due to frequent acceleration/deceleration.
It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition if keeping a proper vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is difficult.
- When entering in the highway interchange (swerving off the main line),
Unexpected accident may cause if the vehicle ahead drives slower
than the preset vehicle speed. The vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode accelerates automatically because the vehicle ahead is
not detected on the lane if the own vehicle or the vehicle ahead
changes the lane.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the parking vehicles, and vehicles driving extremely slower than the own vehicle. Never
hit the vehicle stopping at a tollgate, or the tail end of traffic jam.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the vehicle edging way, and non-vehicle objects (passengers etc.).
• This function detects the reflector of the vehicle ahead. Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicle
ahead, and keep a proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance in the following conditions. Drive the vehicle according
to the driving condition.
- The vehicle ahead installs the reflector higher (trailer etc.).
- The rear of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirt.
- The vehicle ahead or vehicle on other lanes splashes water or snow on the road.
- The vehicle ahead provides dark exhaust gas. Smoke blocks the visibility.
- The vehicle ahead attaches film on the reflector. The vehicle ahead does not install the reflector. The reflec- tor is broken.
- Extremely heavy load is on the rear seat or in the cargo area.
- The vehicle drives on a repeated uphill and downhill

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
• The sensor detection distance is limited if the vehicle-to-vehicledistance is close. The vehicle distance may not maintain properly
because the motorcycle (A) driving on the lane edge is not
detected or detecting the vehicle ahead (cutting in the own vehicle)
delays.
• The sensor dirt is detected automatically. But it is not perfect. Dirt
is not judged despite the sensor is dirt. Dirt is not detected if snow
or ice is on the sensor.
Keeping the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is difficult. Drive the vehi-
cle safely. Always clean the sensor.
Intelligent Cruise Control is released automatically if dirt is
detected.
• The vehicle ahead may not be detected temporarily, the vehicle or object on the neighboring lane may be
detected or the warning buzzer may sound according to the road shape (curve and nar\
row road) and the
own vehicle condition (steering, driving lane position, accident, malfunction etc.).
The vehicle ahead is not detected temporarily. The vehicle approaches too close.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
• Conventional cruise control mode does neither control the brake nor activate the warning.
Drive the vehicle safely. Keep a safe distance between vehicles by decreasing the vehicle speed according
to the driving condition etc.
• Never use the conventional cruise c ontrol mode in the following conditions.
- A well-trafficed road, and a tight turn.
It may cause any accident because the dr iving does not fit to the road condition.
- A slippery road (e.g., freezing, or snowy road) The vehicle may lose the control by wheelspin.
- A steep downhill The engine brake does not activate effectively on a steep downhill. The preset vehicle speed may exceed.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000005146018
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and w hether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
