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.

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

Condition B:
When the radar sensor area of the front bumper
is covered with dirt or is obstructed, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the ICC
system is automatically canceled.
The chime sounds and the ICC system warning
light (orange) will come on and the “FRONT
RADAR OBSTRUCTION” warning will appear.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in
a safe place, place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position and turn the engine off. When the radar
signal is temporarily interrupted, clean the sensor area of the front bumper and restart the
engine. If the “FRONT RADAR OBSTRUC-
TION” warning continues to be displayed, have
the ICC system checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

To cancel the preset speed,use any of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The SET indica- tor will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The SET indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the MAIN switch indicator and SET indicator will turn
off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
2. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RESUME set switch. When the vehicle attains the
speed you desire, release the switch.
3. 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 three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it. 2. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.
3. 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) .

The DCA system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation. When the sensor
is covered with dirt or is obstructed, the system
will automatically be canceled. If the sensor is
covered with ice, a transparent or translucent
vinyl bag, etc., the DCA system may not detect
them. In these instances, the DCA system may
not be able to decelerate the vehicle properly.
Be sure to check and clean the sensor regularly.

NOTE:
The FEB system will be automatically
turned ON when the engine is restarted.
The PFCW system is integrated into the

PFCW system is also turned off.
FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the FEB system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
. The FEB system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensor does not detect
the following objects:
— Pedestrians, animals or obsta-
cles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
. The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary
vehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the
FEB system 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 con-
ditions: — Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor.
— Interference by other radar sources.
— Snow or road spray from travel- ing vehicles.
— If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle)
— When driving on a steep down- hill slope or roads with sharp
curves.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
the FEB system may unexpectedly
push the accelerator pedal up or
apply partial braking. When accel-
eration is necessary, continue to
depress the accelerator pedal to
override the system.
. Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces.
. The system is designed to automa-
tically check the sensor’s function-
ality, 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
properly. Be sure that you check,
clean and clear the sensor area
regularly.
. Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and the
chime may not be heard.
