The Forward Emergency Braking system can as-
sist 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 radar sensor
Alocated at the front of the
vehicle to measure the distance to the vehicle
ahead in the travelling lane. The Forward Emer-
gency Braking system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h).

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-55

If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accel-
erating or braking, the Forward Emergency Brak-
ing system will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing conditions:● When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary 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
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles ●
The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicle’s path, the For-
ward Emergency Braking system will
not function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
● The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov- ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from travelling vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle) .
– 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, con-
tinue to depress the accelerator pedal
to override the system. ●
Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
● The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,
for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. Be sure that you check, clean and
clear the sensor area regularly.

WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so
may result in increased stopping
distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine
and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward or
reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may hear
a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. If the computer senses a malfunc-
tion, it switches the ABS off and illuminates the
ABS warning light on the instrument panel. The
brake system then operates normally but without
anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning light illuminates during the
self-test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above3-6MPH(5
- 10 km/h). The speed varies according to road
conditions.When the ABS senses that one or more wheels
are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly ap-
plies and releases hydraulic pressure. This action
is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly. You
may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a
noise from under the hood or feel a vibration from
the actuator when it is operating. This is normal
and indicates that the ABS is operating properly.
However, the pulsation may indicate that road
conditions are hazardous and extra care is re-
quired while driving.
BRAKE ASSIST
When the force applied to the brake pedal ex-
ceeds a certain level, the brake assist is activated
generating greater braking force than a conven-
tional brake booster even with light pedal force.
WARNING
The brake assist is only an aid to assist
braking operation and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. it is the driv-
ers responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system uses
various sensors to monitor driver inputs and ve-
hicle motion. Under certain driving conditions,
the VDC System helps to perform the following
functions:
● Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel
slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is
transferred to a non slipping drive wheel on
the same axle.
● Controls brake pressure and engine output
to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function) .
● Controls brake pressure at individual wheels
and engine output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the following condi-
tions:
– understeer (vehicle tends to not follow the steered path despite increased steer-
ing input)
– oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving conditions)
The VDC system can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but it cannot prevent loss of
vehicle control in all driving situations.

5-70Starting and driving

Occasionally remove loose dust from the interior
trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum
cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl and
leather (if so equipped) surfaces with a clean,
soft cloth dampened in mild soap solution, then
wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather (if so
equipped) .
Before using any fabric protector, read the manu-
facturer’s recommendations. Some fabric pro-
tectors contain chemicals that may stain or
bleach the seat material.
Use a cloth dampened only with water to clean
the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can dam-
age the seat or occupant classification
sensor. This can also affect the operation
of the air bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
●Never use benzine, thinner or any simi-
lar material.
● Small dirt particles can be abrasive and
damaging to leather surfaces and
should be removed promptly. Do not
use saddle soap, car waxes, polishes,
oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter-
gents or ammonia-based cleaners as
they may damage the leather’s natural
finish.
● Never use fabric protectors unless rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
● Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may dam-
age the lens cover.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could affect
the vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener,
take the following precautions:
● Hanging-type air fresheners can cause per-
manent discoloration when they contact ve-
hicle interior surfaces. Place the air fresh-
ener in a location that allows it to hang free
and not contact an interior surface. ●
Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on
the vents. These products can cause imme-
diate damage and discoloration when
spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions before using the air fresheners.
FLOOR MATS (if so equipped)
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference that
may result in a collision, injury or death:
● NEVER place a floor mat on top of an-
other floor mat in the driver front
position.
● Use only Genuine NISSAN floor mats
specifically designed for use in your ve-
hicle model. For additional information,
refer to a NISSAN dealer.
● Properly position the mats in the floor-
well using the floor mat positioning aid.
Refer to Floor mat positioning aid in
this section.
The use of Genuine NISSAN floor mats can
extend the life of your vehicle carpet and make it
easier to clean the interior. Mats should be main-
tained with regular cleaning and replaced if they
become excessively worn.
