camera, or the windscreen in front of the multi-sens-
ing camera, the BSW system will be turned off auto-
matically. The BSW light will blink.
Action to take:
If the message appears, park the vehicle in a safe
place, clean the camera unit and/or windscreen with
a soft cloth. Then turn off and restart the engine.
BSW MALFUNCTION
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will be turned off
automatically and the BSW light (orange) will illumi-
nate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn off and re-
start the engine. If the BSW light (orange) continues

NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
BSW CAMERA UNIT MAINTENANCE
The rear camera unitj1 for the BSW system is
located above the rear number plate and it has a
automatic washer and blower for cleaning the lens.
To maintain the proper operation of the BSW sys-
tem and prevent a system malfunction be sure to
observe the following:
•Always keep the camera unit clean. Be careful
not to damage the nozzle of automatic washer
and blower.
•Do not attach “number plate accessories” that
reflect light.
•Do not strike or damage the areas around the
camera unit.The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system alerts
the driver when the vehicle is travelling close to ei-
ther the left or the right of a travelling lane.
The LDW system uses the multi-sensing front cam-
era unit situated in front of the interior rear view mir-
ror
j1.
WARNING
•The LDW system is only a warning device to
help inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer the
vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the travelling lane, and be
in control of the vehicle at all times.
•The camera units may not function properly
under the following conditions:
– When towing a trailer.

– When strong light enters the camera unit.
(for example, light directly shines on the
front or rear of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
– When ambient brightness changes sud-
denly. (for example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or passes under a
bridge.)
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDW system operates above approximately 60
km/h (37 MPH).
When the vehicle approaches either the left or the
right of the travelling lane, the LDW system will
chime and the LDW light (orange) in the vehicle
information display will blink to alert the driver.
The LDW system is not designed to operate under
the following conditions:
•When you operate the lane change signal and
change travelling lanes in the direction of the sig-
nal. (The LDW system will become operable
again approximately 2 seconds after the lane
change signal is turned off.)
•When the vehicle speed is less than approxi-
mately 60 km/h (37 MPH).
Turning on or off the LDW system
Turning the LDW system on or of is done using the
[Settings] menu in the vehicle information display.
For details, see “Vehicle information display” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
In the [Settings] menu, select the [Driver Assistance]
key.
Then select [Driving Aids]. Select [Lane Departure
Warning] key by pressing.
A tick mark next to [Lane Departure Warning] indi-
cates that the system is turned on.

markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, wa-
ter, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining
after road repairs. (The LDW system could
detect these items as lane markers.)
– On roads where the travelling lane merges
or separates.
– When the vehicle’s travelling direction
does not align with the lane marker.
– When the road surface is very dark due to
weak ambient light or impaired lamps.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windscreen in front of the LDW camera
unit.
•When driving on a curved road, warning will
be late on the outside of the curve.

multi-sensing lane camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is damaged due
to an accident, contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.The cruise control system allows driving at constant
speeds without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
WARNING
•The cruise control system ONLY maintains a
constant vehicle speed, it does not replace
the driver.
•Always observe the posted speed limits and
do not set the speed above them.
•Do not use the cruise control system when
driving under the following conditions. Doing
so could cause a loss of vehicle control and
result in an accident.
– When it is not possible to keep the vehicle
at a constant speed
– When driving in heavy traffic
– When driving in traffic that varies speed
– When driving in windy areas
– When driving on winding or hilly roads
– When driving on slippery (rain, snow, ice,
etc.) roads
CAUTION
On manual transmission models, do not shift into
N (Neutral) without depressing the clutch pedal
when the cruise control is set. Should this occur,
depress the clutch pedal and turn the cruise con-
trol main switch off immediately. Failure to do so
may cause engine damage.When the cruise control system is on the speed lim-
iter cannot be operated.
The cruise control system operation switches are
located on the steering wheel (right side).
The cruise control system operating condition is
shown in the vehicle information display.
PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
•The cruise control system will be automatically
cancelled when there is a malfunction. Have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
•To properly set the cruise control system, per-
form the steps as described in “Setting a cruis-
ing speed” later in this section.

•When the vehicle is stopped and the ignition is
turned to the off position.
Turning off the cruise control system will erase
the cruise control system memory.The speed limiter allows you to set the desired ve-
hicle speed limit. While the speed limiter is acti-
vated, you can perform normal braking and accel-
eration, but the vehicle will not exceed the set speed.
When the vehicle reaches the set speed limit or if
the set speed limit is lower than the actual vehicle
speed, the accelerator pedal will not work until the
vehicle speed drops below the set speed limit.
When the actual vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed, an audible warning will be heard a short time
after the set speed is exceeded and driver interven-
tion is not detected.

tem cannot be operated.WARNING
•The speed limiter will not automatically brake
the vehicle to the set speed limit.
•Always observe posted speed limits. Do not
set the speed above them.
•Always confirm the setting status of the speed
limiter in the vehicle information display.
•When the speed limiter is set, avoid hard ac-
celeration to reach the set limit to ensure that
the system can limit the speed of the vehicle
correctly.

Resuming a previous set speed
If a set speed limit has been cancelled, the set speed
will be stored in the speed limiter memory.
This speed limit can be reactivated by pressing the
RES (Resume) switch
jA upwards .
If the current vehicle speed is higher than the previ-
ous set speed, the accelerator pedal will not work
and the set speed value
j5 will flash until the vehicle
speed drops below the set speed limit.
When the actual vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed, an audible warning will be heard a short time
after the set speed is exceeded and driver interven-
tion is not detected.
Turning the speed limiter off
The speed limiter system will be turned off when
one of the following operations is performed:
•Push the speed limiter main “ON/OFF” switchj3 . The speed limiter symbolj4 and the set
speed valuej5 in the vehicle information display
will be turned off.
•Push the cruise control main “ON/OFF” switchj2 . The speed limiter information in the vehicle
information will be replaced with the cruise con-
trol information. For details see “Cruise control
(where fitted)” earlier in this section.
•When the vehicle is stopped and the ignition is
turned to the off position.
Turning off the speed limiter will erase the set
speed limit memory.
Speed limiter malfunction
If the speed limiter malfunctions, the speed limiter
symbolj4 in the vehicle information display will
flash.
Turn the speed limiter off by pushing the speed lim-
iter main “ON/OFF” switch
j3 and have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.The forward emergency braking system can assist
the driver when there is a risk of a forward collision
with the vehicle ahead in the travelling lane.
The forward emergency braking system uses a ra-
dar sensor
jA located at the front of the vehicle to
measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the
travelling lane.
WARNING
•The forward emergency braking system is a
supplemental aid to the driver. It is not a re-
placement for the driver’s attention to traffic
conditions or responsibility to drive safely. It
cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness
or dangerous driving techniques.
•The forward emergency braking system does
not function in all driving, traffic, weather and
road conditions.
NSD508
FORWARD EMERGENCY
BRAKING SYSTEM (where fitted)
5-40Starting and driving

SYSTEM OPERATION
The forward emergency braking system will func-
tion when your vehicle is driven at speeds above
approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the for-
ward emergency braking system will provide the
first warning to the driver by flashing the forward
collision warning light (orange) and providing an au-
dible warning.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully
after the warning, and the forward emergency brak-
ing system detects that there is still the possibility of
a forward collision, the system will automatically in-
crease the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the forward emer-
gency braking system issues the second visual
warning (red) and audible warning. If the driver re-
leases the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-
plies partial braking
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the for-
ward emergency braking system applies harder
braking automatically.
NOTE
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking
is performed by the forward emergency braking
system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway con-
ditions, the system may help the driver avoid a for-ward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences if a collision should one be unavoid-
able.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel, acceler-
ating or braking, the forward emergency braking
system will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the follow-
ing conditions:
•When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-
essary to avoid a collision.
•When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
•When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead.
If the forward emergency braking system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
WARNING
•The radar sensor does not detect the follow-
ing objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the
roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance limi-
tations. If a stationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the forward emergency brakingsystem will not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approximately 45 MPH
(70 km/h).
•The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from travelling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motor-
cycle).
– When driving on a steep downhill slope or
roads with sharp curves.
– When towing a trailer.
•In some road or traffic conditions, the forward
emergency braking system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the accelera-
tor pedal to override the system.
•Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
•Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
•The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor area
