system.
. The LDW system is only a warning
device to help inform the driver of a
potential unintended lane depar-
ture. It will not steer the vehicle or
prevent loss of control. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, keep the vehicle in the
traveling lane, and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
. The camera unit may not function
properly under the following condi-
tions:
— When towing a trailer.
— When strong light enters the
camera unit. (for example, light
directly shines on the rear of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
— When ambient brightness changes suddenly. (for example,
when the vehicle enters or exits
a tunnel or passes under a
bridge.)
. If the camera lens is excessively
dirty, the automatic washer may not
be able to completely clean the lens.
This could result in the camera not
detecting vehicles or lane markers. .
Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.

Warning systems switch
The warning systems switch is used to tem-
porarily turn off the warning systems (Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot
Warning (BSW) systems) that are activated
using the settings menu.
WARNING
.The camera unit may not be able to
detect when certain objects are
present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals — Some types of small vehicles
such as motorcycles and very
short length vehicles
— Oncoming vehicles
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. (See “BSW driving
situations” later in this section.)
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly. (See “BSW
driving situations” later in this
section.)
— A vehicle that merges or changes lanes rapidly directly
next to your vehicle.
. The camera unit may not be able to
detect properly when your vehicle
travels beside the middle section of
a vehicle with long wheelbase (for
example, trailer truck, semi-trailer,
tractor) .
. The camera detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the camera unit may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the camera
unit may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
. The camera unit is designed to
ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This
is a normal operating condition.
. The camera unit may detect the
reflected image of vehicles or road-
side objects that are not actually in
the detection zone, especially when
the road is wet.

WARNING
.The camera unit may not be able to
detect properly under the following
conditions:
— On roads where there are multi-
ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; nonstandard lane
markers; or lane markers cov-
ered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where the discontin- ued lane markers are still de-
tectable.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are shar- ply contrasting objects, such as
shadows, snow, water, wheel
ruts, seams or lines remaining
after road repairs. (The LDW
system could detect these items
as lane markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— When the road surface is very dark due to weak ambient light
or impaired tail lamp.
. When driving on a curved road,
warning will be late on the outside

WARNING
Do not use the cruise control 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.

tion” in the “9. Technical and consumer
information” section.)GUID-789B8744-E030-429A-8E1D-A540048EE2D3
WARNING
.For AWD equipped vehicles, do not
attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with
the engine running. Doing so may
result in drivetrain damage or un-
expected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle da-
mage or personal injury.
. Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-
namometer (such as the dynam-
ometers used by some states for
emissions testing) or similar equip-
ment even if the other two wheels
are raised off the ground. Make sure
that you inform the test facility
personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with AWD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using
the wrong test equipment may re-
sult in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle da-
mage or personal injury.

*1: When the rotation difference between the front and rear wheels is large, the AWD mode may
change from AUTO to LOCK for a while,
however, this is not a malfunction.
*2: LOCK mode will change to AUTO mode
automatically when the vehicle has been driven
at a high speed. The AWD LOCK indicator light
turns off. *3:
LOCK mode will automatically be cancelled
when the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
.If the AWD LOCK switch is operated while
accelerating or decelerating, or if the ignition
switch is turned off, you may feel a jolt. This
is normal.
. The oil temperature of power train parts will
increase if the vehicle is continuously
operated under conditions where the differ-
ence in rotation between the front and rear
wheels is large (wheel slip) , such as when
driving the vehicle on rough roads through
sand, mud or freeing a stuck vehicle. In
these cases, the AWD warning light blinks
rapidly and the AWD mode changes to
2WD to protect the powertrain parts. If you
stop driving with the engine idling and wait
until the warning light stops blinking, the
AWD returns to the AUTO mode.
WARNING
.When driving straight, shift the AWD
LOCK switch to AUTO. Do not oper-
ate the AWD LOCK switch when
making a turn or backing up.
. Do not operate the AWD LOCK
switch with the front wheel spin- ning.
. Engine idling speed is high while
warming up the engine. Be espe-
cially careful when starting or driv-
ing on slippery surfaces.
. When turning the vehicle in LOCK
mode on paved roads, you may feel
a braking effect. This is a normal
condition of the AWD model.

AWD WARNING LIGHTGUID-9D8CB64F-35DD-4A37-956F-52AA71579753The AWD warning light is located in the meter.
The AWD warning light illuminates when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON position. It
turns off soon after the engine is started.
If any malfunction occurs in the AWD systemwhile the engine is running, the warning light will
come on.
The warning light may blink rapidly (about twice
per second) while trying to free a stuck vehicle
due to high powertrain oil temperature. The
driving mode may change to 2WD. The AUTO
mode may change to the LOCK mode before the
warning light blinks. If the warning light blinks
rapidly during operation, stop the vehicle with
the engine idling in a safe place immediately.
Then if the light turns off after a while, you can
continue driving.
A large difference between the diameters of
front and rear wheels will make the warning light
blink slowly (about once per two seconds) . Pull
off the road in a safe area, and idle the engine.
Check that all tire sizes are the same, tire
pressure is correct and tires are not worn.
CAUTION
.
If the warning light remains on after
the above operation, have your
vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer
as soon as possible.
. If the warning light comes on while
driving there may be a malfunction
in the AWD system. Reduce the
vehicle speed and have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.
. The powertrain may be damaged if
you continue driving with the warn-
ing light blinking.
. Never drive on dry hard surface
roads in the LOCK mode, as this
will overload the powertrain and
may cause a serious malfunction.
