2014 NISSAN ROGUE display

APPROACH WARNING
NOTE:
The warning chime may sound and the sys-
tem display may blink when the distance
sensor detects vehicles in other lanes
Aor
objects on the side of the road
A. This may
cause the FCW system to operate inappro-
priately. The distance sensor may detect
these objects when the vehicle is driven on
winding roads, narrow roads, hilly roads, or
when entering or exiting a curve. In these
cases you will have to manually control the
proper distance ahead of your vehicle. Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some
damage) .
PRECAUTIONS ON FCW SYSTEM
WARNING
●
The FCW system is intended to warn
you before a collision occurs; it cannot
prevent a collision. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
● As there is a performance limit, the sys-
tem may not provide a warning in cer-
tain conditions.
● The system will not detect the following
objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
● The system will not detect another ve-
hicle under the following conditions:

● 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 the powertrain 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 or mud, or freeing a stuck vehicle. In
these cases, the master warning light illumi-
nates and the AWD mode changes to 2WD
to protect the powertrain parts. Stop driving
with the engine idling and wait until the
warning light turns off and the AWD returns
to the AUTO mode. If the warning light re-
mains on, have your vehicle checked by a
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

●Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
If suspension parts such as shock ab-
sorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars,
bushings and wheels are not NISSAN
recommended for your vehicle or are
extremely deteriorated, the VDC system
may not operate properly. This could
adversely affect vehicle handling per-
formance, and the
indicator may
flash or both the
andindica-
tor lights may illuminate.
● If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not
NISSAN recommended or are extremely
deteriorated, the VDC system may not
operate properly and both the
and theindicator lights may
illuminate.
● If engine control related parts are not
NISSAN recommended or are extremely
deteriorated, both the
andindicator lights may illuminate. ●
When driving on extremely inclined sur-
faces such as higher banked corners,
the VDC system may not operate prop-
erly and the
indicator may flash or
both the
andindicator
lights may illuminate. Do not drive on
these types of roads.
● When driving on an unstable surface
such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or
ramp, the
indicator may flash or
both the
andindicator
lights may illuminate. This is not a mal-
function. Restart the engine after driv-
ing onto a stable surface.
● If wheels or tires other than the NISSAN
recommended ones are used, the VDC
system may not operate properly and
the
indicator may flash or both
the
andindicator lights may
illuminate.
● The VDC system is not a substitute for
winter tires or tire chains on a snow
covered road. The chassis control is an electric control module
that includes the following functions:
● Active Trace Control
● Active Engine Brake
● Active Ride Control
ACTIVE TRACE CONTROL
This system senses driving based on the driver’s
steering and acceleration/braking patterns, and
controls brake pressure at individual wheels to
aid tracing at corners and help smooth vehicle
response.
The Active Trace Control can be set to ON (en-
abled) or OFF (disabled) through the Vehicle
Information Display “Settings” page. See “Ve-
hicle Information Display” in “Instruments and
Controls” for more information.
When the VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the
VDC system, the Active Trace Control is also
turned off.
CHASSIS CONTROL
Starting and driving5-45

When the active trace control is operated and the
“Chassis Control” mode is selected in the trip
computer, the active trace control graphics are
shown in the vehicle information display. See
“Trip Computer” in “Instruments and Controls” for
more information.
If the chassis control warning message appears
in the vehicle information display, it may indicate
that the active trace control is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.WARNING
The active trace control may not be effec-
tive depending on the driving condition.
Always drive carefully and attentively.
When the active trace control is operating, you
may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a
noise. This is normal and indicates that the active
trace control is operating properly.
Even if the active trace control is set to OFF,
some functions will remain on to assist the driver
(for example: avoidance scenes) .
ACTIVE ENGINE BRAKE
The Active Engine Brake function adds subtle
deceleration by controlling CVT gear ratio, de-
pending on the cornering condition calculated
from driver’s steering input and plural sensors.
This benefit to easier traceability and less work-
load of adjusting speed with braking at corners.
The Active Engine Brake also enhances braking
feel by adding subtle deceleration with CVT gear
ratio control according to driver’s brake pedal
operation
The Active Engine Brake can be set to ON (en-
abled) or OFF (disabled) through the Vehicle
Information Display “Settings” page. See “Ve-
hicle Information Display” in “Instruments and
Controls” for more information.

When the active engine brake is operated at
corners and the “Chassis Control” mode is se-
lected in the trip computer, the active engine
brake graphics are shown in the vehicle informa-
tion display. See “Trip Computer” in “Instruments
and Controls” for more information.
If the chassis control warning message appears
in the vehicle information display, it may indicate
that the active engine brake is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.WARNING
The active engine brake may not be effec-
tive depending on the driving condition.
Always drive carefully and attentively.
When the active engine brake is operating, the
needle of the tachometer will rise up and you may
hear an engine noise. This is normal and indicates
that the active engine brake is operating properly.
ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL
This system senses upper body motion based on
wheel speed information and controls engine
torque and four wheel brake pressure to enhance
ride comfort in effort to restrain uncomfortable
upper body movement when passing over undu-
lated road surfaces . This system come into effect
above 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the
VDC system, the Active Ride Control is also
turned off.

When brake control of active ride control is op-
erated and the “Chassis Control” mode is se-
lected in the trip computer, the active ride control
graphics are shown in the vehicle information
display. See “Trip Computer” in “Instruments and
Controls” for more information.
If the chassis control warning message appears
in the vehicle information display, it may indicate
that the active ride control is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.
When the active ride control is operating, you
may hear noise and sense slight deceleration.
This is normal and indicates that the Active Ride
Control is operating properly.WARNING
●Never rely solely on the hill descent
control system to control vehicle speed
when driving on steep downhill grades.
Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the hill descent control sys-
tem and decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal if neces-
sary. Be especially careful when driving
on frozen, muddy or extremely steep
downhill roads. Failure to control ve-
hicle speed may result in a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle and possible serious
injury or death. ●
The hill descent control may not control
the vehicle speed on a hill under all load
or road conditions. Always be prepared
to depress the brake pedal to control
vehicle speed. Failure to do so may re-
sult in a collision or serious personal
injury.
The hill descent control system can only be acti-
vated when the AWD LOCK switch is engaged.
The hill descent control system helps maintain
vehicle speed when driving under 15 MPH
(25 km/h) on steeper downhill grades. Hill de-
scent control is useful when engine braking alone
cannot control vehicle speed. Hill descent con-
trol applies the vehicle brakes to control vehicle
speed allowing the driver to concentrate on
steering while reducing the burden of brake and
accelerator operation.
If the hill descent control light is blinking, the hill
descent control is engaged however the hill de-
scent control will not control the vehicle speed. ● When additional braking is required on
steep downhill roads, activate the hill de-
scent control system by pushing the switch
ON. See “Hill descent control switch” in the
“Instruments and controls” section.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with TPMS. It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When
the low tire pressure warning light is lit, and the
Tire Pressure Low - Add Air warning appears in
the vehicle information display, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
equipped, the system also displays pressure of
all tires (except the spare tire) on the display
screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel. If the vehicle is being
driven with low tire pressure, the TPMS will acti-
vate and warn you of it by the low tire pressure
warning light. This system will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). For additional information, refer to
“Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders”
in the “Instruments and controls” section and
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section.
WARNING
●Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use. ●
If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle
as soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting. ●
Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by NISSAN could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
● Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.
RUN-FLAT TIRES (For vehicles
equipped with 3rd row only)
Run-flat tires are those tires that can be used
temporarily if they are punctured. For additional
information, refer to “Run-flat tires” in “Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself.”
Also, see the tire safety information in the War-
ranty Information Booklet.
WARNING
● Although you can continue driving with
a punctured run-flat tire, remember that
vehicle handling stability is reduced,
which could lead to an accident and
personal injury. Also, driving a long dis-
tance at high speeds may damage the
tires.
