SYSTEM OPERATION
The forward emergency braking system will func-
tion when your vehicle is driven at speeds above
approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the for-
ward emergency braking system will provide the
first warning to the driver by flashing the forward
collision warning light (orange) and providing an au-
dible warning.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully
after the warning, and the forward emergency brak-
ing system detects that there is still the possibility of
a forward collision, the system will automatically in-
crease the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the forward emer-
gency braking system issues the second visual
warning (red) and audible warning. If the driver re-
leases the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-
plies partial braking
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the for-
ward emergency braking system applies harder
braking automatically.
NOTE
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking
is performed by the forward emergency braking
system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway con-
ditions, the system may help the driver avoid a for-ward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences if a collision should one be unavoid-
able.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel, acceler-
ating or braking, the forward emergency braking
system will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the follow-
ing conditions:
•When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-
essary 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 follow-
ing objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the
roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance limi-
tations. If a stationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the forward emergency brakingsystem will not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approximately 45 MPH
(70 km/h).
•The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from travelling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motor-
cycle).
– 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, continue to depress the accelera-
tor pedal to override the system.
•Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
•Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
•The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor area

of the front bumper such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver properly.
Be sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area of the front bumper regularly
Turning the forward emergency braking
system ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the forward
emergency braking system ON or OFF.
1. Using the
orswitches and the ENTER but-
ton on the left side of the steering wheel, select
the Settings menu in the vehicle information dis-
play. (See “Settings” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section
2. Using the
orswitches and the ENTER but-
ton, navigate to the [Driver Assistance] menu,
followed by the [Driving Aids] menu.
3. In the [Driving Aids] menu, highlight the [Emer-
gency Brake] item and use the ENTER button to
toggle between ON (enabled) or OFF (disabled).When the forward emergency braking system is
turned off, the forward emergency braking system
warning light (orange) will illuminate.System temporarily unavailable
Condition A:
When the radar picks up interference from another
radar source, making it impossible to detect a ve-
hicle ahead, the forward emergency braking system
is automatically turned off. The forward emergency
braking system warning light (orange) and the for-
ward collision warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the for-
ward emergency braking system will resume auto-
matically.
Condition B:
When the sensor area of the front bumper is cov-
ered with dirt or obstructed, making it impossible to
detect a vehicle ahead, the forward emergency brak-ing system is automatically turned off. The forward
emergency braking system warning light (orange)
and the forward collision warning light (orange) will
illuminate and the “front radar obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle information dis-
play.
Action to take:
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe location and turn the engine off.
Check to see if the sensor area of the front bumper
is blocked. If the sensor area of the front bumper is
blocked, remove the blocking material. Restart the
engine. If the warning light continues to illuminate,
have the forward emergency braking system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.System malfunction
If the forward emergency braking system malfunc-
tions, it will be turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, the forward emergency braking system
warning light (orange) and the forward collision
warning light (orange) will illuminate and the warn-
ing message [Malfunction] will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe location, turn the engine off and
restart the engine. If the warning light continues to
illuminate, have the forward emergency braking sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.

WARNING
•Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials, such as dry grass, waste paper, or rags.
They may ignite and cause a fire.
•Safe parking procedures require that:
– The parking brake is applied.
– The shift lever is placed in an appropriate
gear for manual transmission models.
– The shift lever is placed in the P (Park)
position for XTRONIC transmission (CVT)
models.
Failure to follow the above recommenda-
tions could cause the vehicle to move un-
expectedly or roll away and result in an
accident.
•Never leave the engine running while the ve-
hicle is unattended.
•Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tempera-
tures in a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe or possi-
bly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•Manual transmission models:
Depress the clutch pedal and place the shift le-
ver in the R (Reverse) position. When parking on
an uphill gradient, place the shift lever in the 1st
(Low gear) position.
•XTRONIC transmission models:
Fully depress the brake pedal and move the shift
lever to the P (Park) position.
WARNING
Make sure that the shift lever has been pushed
as far forward as it can go and cannot be moved
without depressing the button on the shift lever
handle.

WARNING
Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) is a guidance sys-
tem for parking procedures. It does not prevent
collisions with objects. Always look through the
windows and check to be sure that it is safe to
move.
The Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) system controls
steering, guiding the vehicle when parking:
– In a bay
– Parallel to the road
NOTE
The IPA system instructs you to stop, drive for-
wards or drive backwards. Follow the instructions
given by the system.
The IPA system is not able to support parking when
the vehicle speed during the parking manoeuvre is
more than 7 km/h (4 MPH).
CAUTION
Do not use the IPA system under the following
conditions:
•On unpaved roads.
•On snow-covered or frozen roads.
•On uneven roads with slants, bumps, kerb-
stones, wheel tracks, etc.
•At mechanical parking facilities.
•When tyre chains or a spare tyre are installed.

•When the vehicle is being towed
•When the doors (including the back door) are
not closed.
The following conditions may reduce the ability
of the system to detect other vehicles:
•Severe weather.
•Road spray.
•Ice build up on the vehicle.
•Frost on the vehicle.
•Dirt on the vehicle.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent ma-
terial), install accessories or apply additional
paint near the sonar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the system to detect
other vehicles.
The sonar sensors detect stationary objects be-
hind the vehicle. The sonar sensors may not de-
tect:
•Small or moving objects.
•Wedge-shaped objects.
•Objects close to the bumper.
•Thin objects such as rope, wire, or chain.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the IPA may not
be able to predict precise courses and function
properly. There may be instances where sur-rounding objects and vehicles are displayed in-
side the clearance guidelines (red), or where the
vehicle cannot be parked in the correct spot fol-
lowing the IPA operation.
•When the shift lever is operated while driving.
•When sudden start, sudden stop or sudden
operation of the shift lever occurs.
•When tyre pressure is too low or a tyre is worn
out.
•When tyres are installed that are of a different
size from the tyres that were equipped at the
time of factory shipment.
•When the vehicle is heavily laden.
DEACTIVATION OF THE IPA SYSTEM
The IPA will deactivate under the following condi-
tions:
•When the steering wheel is operated manually.
•When 5 seconds have passed since the shift
lever was placed and kept in the Neutral (N)
position.
•When reversing operations are conducted more
than 10 times for steering corrections.
•When the system judges that conditions (such
as worn out or low pressure tyres, road condi-
tions for example) are not suitable for correct
course predictions.
•When the vehicle reverses to a position behind
the position where the IPA operation started.
•When the vehicle passes the reverse starting
position by more than 2 m (6.5 ft).
•When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately
7 km/h (4 MPH).
•When the driver does not follow the IPA guid-
ance.
