2015 NISSAN MURANO warning

WARNING
●As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control
system. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in
rain, fog, or other bad weather. Deceler-
ate the vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
● The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the Intelligent Cruise Control sys-
tem under the following conditions:
– On roads where the traffic is heavy or there are sharp curves – On slippery road surfaces such as on
ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the bumper around the distance sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
– When traffic conditions make it diffi- cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources.
● Do not use the Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol system if you are towing a trailer.
The system may not detect a vehicle
ahead. ●
In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. You may
need to control the distance from other
vehicles using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the ICC
system where not recommended in this
warning section.

ICC OPERATION
Always pay attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle and be ready to manually control the proper
following distance. The ICC system may not be
able to maintain the selected distance between
vehicles (following distance) or selected vehicle
speed under some circumstances.
The Intelligent Cruise Control uses a sensor
A
located on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead. The sensor generally
detects the signals returned from the vehicle
ahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannot detect the
reflection from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system
may not maintain the selected distance.The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot detect the signals:
● When snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.
● When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the trunk of your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation within the limitation
of the system. When the sensor area is covered
with dirt or is obstructed, the system will auto-
matically be canceled. If the sensor area is cov-
ered with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl
bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In
these instances, the ICC system may not cancel
and may not be able to maintain the selected
following distance from the vehicle ahead. Be
sure to check and clean the sensor area around
the distance sensor regularly.
The ICC system is designed to maintain a se-
lected distance and reduce the speed to match
the slower vehicle ahead. The system will decel-
erate the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to
a standstill. However, the ICC system can only
apply up to 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. This system should only be used when traffic
conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly
constant or when vehicle speeds change gradu-
ally. If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane
ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly de-
celerates, the distance between vehicles may
become closer because the ICC system cannot
decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this oc-
curs, the ICC system will sound a warning chime
and blink the system display to notify the driver to
take necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning chime will
sound if the speed is below approximately
15 MPH (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not detected
ahead. The system will also disengage when the
vehicle goes above the maximum set speed.
For additional information, refer to “Approach
warning” in this section.
The following items are controlled in the ICC
system:
● When there are no vehicles traveling ahead,
the ICC system maintains the speed set by
the driver. The set speed range is between
approximately 20 and 90 MPH (32 and
144 km/h).

Starting and driving5-37

●When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the
ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain
the distance, selected by driver, from the
vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed range is
up to the set speed. If the vehicle ahead
comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of the system.
The system will cancel once it judges a
standstill with a warning chime.
● When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved
out from its lane of travel, the ICC system
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed up
to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle speed
or warn you when you approach stationary and
slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper distance
from vehicles ahead when approaching toll gates
or traffic congestion. The detection zone of the ICC sensor is limited. A
vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance detection mode
to maintain the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detec-
tion zone due to its position within the same lane
of travel. Motorcycles may not be detected in the
same lane ahead if they are traveling offset from
the centerline of the lane. A vehicle that is enter-
ing the lane ahead may not be detected until the
vehicle has completely moved into the lane.
If
this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have to manually control the proper distance away
from vehicle traveling ahead.

System operation
WARNING
Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle
according to the speed of the vehicle
ahead. Depress the accelerator to prop-
erly accelerate your vehicle when accel-
eration is required for a lane change. De-
press the brake pedal when deceleration
is required to maintain a safe distance to
the vehicle ahead due to its sudden brak-
ing or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert
when using the ICC system.
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based
on the road conditions.
The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the
ICC system decelerates the vehicle by control-
ling the throttle and applying the brakes to match
the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The system
then controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver
selected distance.

5-42Starting and driving

Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if
another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the
driver with the chime and ICC system display.
Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to
maintain a safe vehicle distance if:● The chime sounds.
● The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
The warning chime may not sound in some cases
when there is a short distance between vehicles.
Some examples are: ● When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing
● When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when: ● The vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed, overrid-
ing the system. NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
ICC sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle or on the side of the road. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle. The ICC 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) .
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.
● When the vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed of
15 MPH (24 km/h)
● When the system judges the vehicle is at
standstill ●
When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) or
Manual mode
● When the parking brake is applied
● When the VDC system is turned off
● When ABS or VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
● When a wheel slips
