CAUTION
•The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system is
intended as an aid to careful driving. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and observe all road regulations that
currently apply, including looking out for road
signs.
•The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
may not function properly under the following
conditions:
•When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windscreen in front of the TSR camera unit.
•When the headlights are not bright due to
dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not ad-
justed properly.
•When strong light enters the camera unit.
(For example, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sun-
set.)
•When a sudden change in brightness oc-
curs. (For example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
•In areas not covered by the navigation sys-
tem.
•If there are deviations in relation to the
navigation, for example due to changes in
the road routing.
•When overtaking buses or trucks with
speed stickers.
Turning the TSR system on and off
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.
Perform the following steps to enable or disable the
TSR system:
1. In the [Settings] menu, select the [Driver Assis-
tance] key.
2. Touch [Traffic Sign] to turn the system ON/OFF.
System temporarily unavailable
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under high
temperature conditions (over approximately 40 C
(104 F) and then started, the TSR system may be
deactivated automatically. The [Not available high
cabin temperature] warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
When the interior temperature is reduced, the TSR
system will resume operating automatically.
System Malfunction
If the TSR system malfunctions it will be turned off
automatically and the system [Malfunction]/[System
error] warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
If the TSR [Malfunction]/[System error] message
appears, pull off the road at a safe location and stop
the vehicle. Turn the engine off and restart the en-
gine. If the TSR [Malfunction]/[System error] mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
Maintenance
The TSR uses the same multi-sensing front camera
unit that is used by the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system, located in front of the interior rear
view mirror. For maintenance of the camera, see
“Multi-sensing camera unit maintenance” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
