Precaution for Brake ControlINFOID:0000000009463736
• During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
• Just after starting vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from engine
compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
• Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
• When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from customer
(what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting diagnosis.
Besides electrical system inspection, check boos ter operation, brake fluid level, and fluid leaks.
• If incorrect tire sizes or types are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts, stop-
ping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
• If there is a radio, antenna or related wiring near control module, ABS function may have a malfunction or
error.
• If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness pinches, open circuits or improper wiring.
• If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or modified, the VDC OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorbers, struts, springs , bushings, etc.), tires, wheels (exclude specified
size), components related to brake system (pads, roto rs, calipers, etc.), components related to engine (muf-
fler, ECM, etc.), components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
• Driving with broken or excessively worn suspensi on components, tires or brake system components may
cause the VDC OFF indicator lamp and the SLIP indicator lamp to turn on, and the VDC system may not
operate properly.
• When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.
• When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as sharp curves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate no rmally, or the VDC warning lamp and the SLIP indi-
cator lamp may turn on. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.
• Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. with VDC turned off may cause the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor to indicate a problem. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed
after restarting the engine.
Precaution for CAN SystemINFOID:0000000009463737
• Do not apply voltage of 7.0V or higher to terminal to be measured.
• Maximum open terminal voltage of tester in use must be less than 7.0V.
• Before checking harnesses, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative cable.
• Area to be repaired must be soldered and wrapped with tape. Make sure that fraying of twisted wire is within 110 mm (4.33 in).

PRECAUTIONS FOR BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW)
• The Blind Spot Warning system is not a replacem
ent for proper driving procedure and are not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When c hanging lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and
turn and look in the direction driver will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the
Blind Spot Warning system.
• The Blind Spot Warning system may not provide a warn ing for vehicles that pass through the detection zone
quickly.
• Do not use the Blind Spot Warning system when towing a trailer.
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, open v ehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
• The rear view camera may not be able to detect and activate Blind Spot Warning when certain objects are present such as:
- Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
- Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles.
- Oncoming vehicles.
- Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when driver accelerates from a stop.
- A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as vehicle.
- A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
- Another vehicle which overtakes this vehicle rapidly.
• Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce the abi lity of the rear view camera to detect other vehi-
cles.
• The rear view camera detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider
lane, the rear view camera may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the
rear view camera may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
• The rear view camera 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.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BLIND SPOT WARNING
• Do not use the Blind Spot Warning system under the following conditions because the system may not func-
tion properly:
- During bad weather (e.g., rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.)
- When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
- When driving on winding or uneven roads.
- When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
- When driving in a makeshift lane.
- When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
- When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire c onditions (e.g., tire wear, low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-standard wheels).
- When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspension parts.
• The rear view camera may not detect lane markers in the following situations and the Blind Spot Warning
system may not operate properly:
- On roads where there are multiple parallel lane marker s; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; nonstandard lane markers; lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
- On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
- On roads where there are sharp curves.
- On roads where there are sharply c ontrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road repairs.
- On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
- When the vehicle traveling direction does not align with the lane markers.
- When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the lens of a the rear view camera unit.
- When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (e.g., when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
- When steering quickly.
- When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
- When driving on a curve at a high speed.
