PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CON-
TROL
.If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
will cancel automatically. The CRUISE in-
dicator light on the meter panel will then
blink to warn the driver.
. If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will be canceled automatically.
. If the CRUISE indicator light blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
. The CRUISE indicator light may sometimes
blink when the cruise control main switch is
turned ON while pushing the ACCELER-
ATE/RESUME, COAST/SET or CANCEL
switch. To properly set the cruise control
system, perform the steps below in the order
indicated.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when
driving under the following conditions:
.when it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed .
in heavy traffic or in traffic that
varies in speed
. on winding or hilly roads
. on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.)
. in very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the MAIN
switch on. The CRUISE indicator will come on.
To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle
to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET
switch and release it. Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the

set speed.
.To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previously
set speed.
. The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
on winding or hilly roads. If this happens,
drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed, follow any of
these methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch.
2. Tap the brake pedal.
3. Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position.
4. Turn the MAIN switch off. The CRUISE indicator light will turn off.
. If you depress the brake pedal while pushing
the ACCELERATE/RESUME or COAST/
SET switch and reset at the cruising speed,
the cruise control will disengage. Turn the
MAIN switch off once and then turn it on
again.
. The cruise control will automatically cancel if
the vehicle slows more than 8 MPH (13
km/h) below the set speed.
. If you move the shift lever to N (Neutral)
position, the cruise control will be canceled.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use oneof the following methods:
.
Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RESUME
switch. When the vehicle attains the speed
you desire, release the switch.
. Push, then quickly release the ACCELER-
ATE/RESUME switch. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h) .
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.
. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.
. Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h) .
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set cruising
speed when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH
(40 km/h) .

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.ICC is not a collision avoidance or
warning device. For highway use
only and it is not intended for
congested areas or city driving. Fail-
ure to apply the brakes could result
in an accident.
. Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using either cruise con-
trol mode. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly before
using the cruise control. To avoid
serious injury or death, do not rely
on the system to prevent accidents
or to control the vehicle’s speed in
emergency situations. Do not use
cruise control except in appropriate
road and traffic conditions.
. In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, a warning chime will not sound to warn you if
you are too close to the vehicle
ahead. Pay special attention to the
distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you or a
collision could occur.
The ICC system maintains a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you within the speed
range of 0 to 90 MPH (0 to 144 km/h) up to the
set speed. The set speed can be selected by the
driver between 20 to 90 MPH (32 to 144 km/h) .
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the road
ahead is clear.
The ICC system can be set to one of two cruise
control modes.
. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
For maintaining a selected distance be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you up to the preset speed.
. Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode:
For cruising at a preset speed.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode,
the ICC system automatically maintains a
selected distance from the vehicle traveling in
front of you according to that vehicle’s speed
(up to the set speed) , or at the set speed when
the road ahead is clear.
Starting and driving5-71

SSD0254
When driving on the freeway at a set speed and
approaching a slower traveling vehicle ahead,
the ICC system will adjust the speed to maintain
the distance, selected by the driver, from the
vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead changes
lanes or exits the freeway, the ICC system will
accelerate and maintain the speed up to the set
speed. Pay attention to the driving operation to
maintain control of the vehicle as it accelerates
to the set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on
winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you will
have to manually control the vehicle speed.
Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically accel-erates or decelerates your vehicle according to
the speed of the vehicle ahead. Depress the
accelerator to properly accelerate your vehicle
when acceleration is required for a lane change.
Depress the brake pedal when deceleration is
required to maintain a safe distance to the
vehicle ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when using the
ICC system.

Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally.
2. COAST/SET switch:
Sets desired cruise speed, reduces speed
incrementally.
3. CANCEL switch: Deactivates the system without erasing the
