WARNING:
. The sonar (parking sensor)systemisa
convenience butitis not asubstitute for
proper parking. Alwayslookaround and
check thatitis safe todo sobefore parking.
Always moveslowly.
. Read andunderstand thelimitations ofthe
sonar (parking sensor)systemascontained
in this section. Inclement weathermayaffect
the function ofthe sonar (parking sensor)
system; thismay include reduced perfor-
mance orafalse activation.
. This system isnot designed toprevent
contact withsmall ormoving objects.
. The system isdesigned asan aid tothe
driver indetecting largestationary objectsto
help avoid damaging thevehicle. Thesystem
will notdetect smallobjects belowthe
bumper, andmay notdetect objects close
to the bumper oron the ground.
. Ifyour vehicle sustains damagetothe
bumper fascia,leaving itmisaligned orbent,
the sensing zonemaybealtered causing inaccurate
measurement ofobstacles or
false alarms.
CAUTION:
Keep theinterior ofthe vehicle asquiet as
possible tohear thetone clearly.
When theignition switchisin the ªONº position, the
sonar (parking sensor)systemisoperational.
The sonar (parking sensor)systemsounds atone to
warn thedriver ofobstacles nearthebumper. The
system detects rearobstacles whentheshift lever isin
the ªRº (Reverse) position.Thesystem maynotdetect
objects atspeeds above10km/h (6MPH) andmay
not detect certain angular ormoving objects.
The sonar (parking sensor)systemdetects obstacles
up to1m (3.3 ft)from thebumper withadecreased
coverage areaatthe outer corners ofthe bumper,
(refer tothe illustration forapproximate zonecoverage
areas) .As you move closer tothe obstacle, therate of
the tone increases. Whentheobstacle isless than 30
cm (11.8 in)away ,the tone willsound continuously .
K eep thesonar sensors (located onthe bumper fascia)
free from snow ,ice and large accumulations ofdirt (do not
clean thesensors withsharp objects) .If the
sensors arecovered, itwill affect theaccuracy ofthe
sonar (parking sensor)system.
If the sonar (parking sensor)systemmalfunc-
tions, thebeep sounds for3seconds whenthe
shift lever ismoved tothe ªRº(Reverse) position.
Have thesystem checked byaNISSAN dealer.

Self-test feature
GUID-25A1 2632-42C1- 404E-B198-BDCF201D1 532
The ABS includes electronic sensors,electricpumps,
hydraulic solenoids andacomputer. Thecomputer has
a built-in diagnostic featurethattests thesystem each
time youstart theengine andmove thevehicle atalow
speed inforward orreverse. Whentheself-test
occurs, youmay hear aªclunkº noiseand/or feela
pulsation inthe brake pedal. Thisisnormal anddoes
not indicate amalfunction. Ifthe computer sensesa
malfunction, itswitches theABS offand illuminates the
ABS warning lightonthe instrument panel.Thebrake
system thenoperates normally,but without anti-lock
assistance.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates duringtheself-test
or while driving, havethevehicle checked bya
NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
GUID-731 7FE84-7D F1-491B-AE 03-A1D3516 5D3DC
The ABS operates atspeeds above5to 10 km/h (3to
6 MPH) .The speed variesaccording toroad condi-
tions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels are
close tolocking up,the actuator rapidlyapplies and
releases hydraulic pressure. Thisaction issimilar to
pumping thebrakes veryquickly .You may feela
pulsation inthe brake pedalandhear anoise from
under thehood orfeel avibration fromtheactuator
when itis operating. Thisisnormal andindicates that
the ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsation
may indicate thatroad conditions arehazardous and
extra careisrequired whiledriving.

WARNING:
. Whatever thecondition, drivewithcaution.
Accelerate anddecelerate withgreat care.If
accelerating ordecelerating toofast, the
drive wheels willlose even more traction.
. Allow morestopping distanceincold weath-
er driving. Braking shouldbestarted sooner
than ondry pavement.
. Keep atagreater distance fromthevehicle
in front ofyou onslippery roads.
. Wet ice(08C ,328F andfreezing rain),very
cold snow andicecan beslick andvery
difficult todrive on.The vehicle willhave a
lot less traction orgrip under thesecondi-
tions. Try to avoid driving onwet iceuntil the
road issalted orsanded.
. Watch forslippery spots(glaring ice).These
may appear onanotherwise clearroadin
shaded areas.Ifapatch ofice isseen ahead,
brake before reaching it.Try not tobrake
while actually onthe ice, and avoid any
sudden steering maneuvers.
. Donot use cruise control onslippery roads.
. Snow cantrap dangerous exhaustgasunder
