BSW SYSTEM OPERATIONGUID-B7B4A2DD-5B73-4122-8C65-5DB3CA4A4566If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW indicator light in the
outside mirror will illuminate in the direction of
the detected vehicle. If the turn signal is then
activated, the BSW indicator light flashes and a
chime sounds twice. The indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle leaves
the detection zone.
The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position.
The brightness of the BSW indicator lights is
adjusted automatically depending on the bright-ness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes into
the detection zone after the driver activates the
turn signal, then only the BSW indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. (See “BSW
driving situations” (P.5-20).)
The BSW system is automatically turned on
when the engine is started and the BSW ON
indicator light
*1illuminates on the switch. You
can turn the BSW system off by pushing the
BSW switch on the instrumental panel.
NOTE:
If you continue to push the BSW switch
from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default
status of the BSW system to OFF so that
this system will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this proce-
dure is repeated, the default status will
return to ON.
WARNING
. Do not use the BSW system when
towing a trailer because the system
may not function properly.

5-20Starting and driving
.Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
. The radar sensors may not be able to detect
and activate BSW when certain objects are
present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
— Several types of vehicles such as motor-
cycles
— Oncoming vehicles
— Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop (See
“BSW driving situations” (P.5-20) .)
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as
your vehicle (See “BSW driving situa-
tions” (P.5-20) .)
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from be- hind. (See “BSW driving situations” (P.5-
20).)
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly. (See “BSW driving situations”
(P.5-20) .)
. Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to detect
other vehicles. .
The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles
driving two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are 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.

However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light
may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is
beside your vehicle. Always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction
your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to

BSW temporarily not availableGUID-6D4D6EF8-1DF9-4D89-8011-E54A25724E70.When radar blockage is detected, the BSW
system will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound and the BSW system
warning light will blink. The BSW system is
not available until the condition no longer
exists.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water,
mist or fog. The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or dirt
obstructing the radar sensors.
Action to take:
When the above condition no longer exists, the
BSW system will resume automatically.
If the warning light continues to blink, have the
BSW system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

will cancel automatically. The CRUISE in-
dicator light on the meter panel will then
blink to warn the driver.
. If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will cancel automatically.
. If the CRUISE indicator light blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
. The CRUISE indicator light may blink when
the cruise control main switch is turned ON
while pushing the ACCELERATE/RESUME,
COAST/SET or CANCEL switch. To prop-
erly set the cruise control system, perform
the following procedures.
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

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONSGUID-83F79638-F960-44C4-A666-8D4BEB19D2B3The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 89 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the MAIN
switch on. The CRUISE indicator light will
illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET
switch and release it. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the
set speed.
.
To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previously
set speed.
. The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
on winding or hilly roads. If this happens,
drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch.
2. Tap the brake pedal.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off. The CRUISE light will turn off.
. If you depress the brake pedal while pushing
the ACCELERATE/RESUME or COAST/
SET switch and reset at the cruising speed,
the cruise control will disengage. Turn the
MAIN switch off once and then turn it on
again.
. The cruise control will automatically cancel if
the vehicle slows more than 8 MPH (13
km/h) below the set speed.
. If you move the selector lever to the N
(Neutral) position, the cruise control will be
canceled.

To reset at a faster cruising speed,use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RESUME
switch. When the vehicle attains the desired
speed, release the switch.
. Push, then quickly release the ACCELER-
ATE/RESUME switch. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h) .
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.
. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.
. Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set cruising
speed when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH
(40 km/h).

CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) ,
follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and econo-
my of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and
reduced engine performance.
. Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
. Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles
(800 km) . Your engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.
GUID-F24D9668-FCE2-4BE0-A6CF-6C5E5A055D33Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator and brake pedal
application.
.Avoid rapid starts and stops..Use smooth, gentle accelerator andbrake application whenever possible.
.Maintain constant speed while commut-
ing and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
.Synchronizing your speed with traffic
lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.
.Maintaining a steady speed can minimize red light stops and improve fuel effi-
ciency.
3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher vehicle speeds.
.Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is moreefficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
.Above 40 MPH (64 km/h) , it is moreefficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.
