2017 NISSAN ARMADA steering wheel

NOTE:
.The LDP system is not designed to
work when you operate the lane
change signal and change traveling
lanes in the direction of the signal.
(The LDP system will become operable
again approximately 2 seconds after
the lane change signal is turned off.)
. The LDP braking assist will not operate
or will stop operating and only a
warning chime will sound under the
following conditions.
—When the brake pedal is depressed.
— When the steering wheel is turned
as far as necessary for the vehicle to
change lanes.
— When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed while brake control assist is
provided.
— When the ICC, DCA, BSI, BSW,
PFCW or FEB warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
. While the LDP system is operating, you
may hear a sound of brake operation.
This is normal and indicates that the
LDP system is operating properly.

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.

.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection and set dis-
tance indicator blink.
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
increasing
. When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
. Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
radar 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 radar 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 shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the SNOW mode switch is pushed
on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H or
4L position (for 4WD models)
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When ABS or VDC (including the traction
control system) operates .
When distance measurement becomes im-
paired due to adhesion of dirt or obstruction
to the sensor
. When a wheel slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted

disable the DCA system” (P.5-97) .
When the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode is operating, the DCA system will
not operate. (To use the DCA system, turn the
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode
off, then push the dynamic driver assistance

FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h) .
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB system will provide the first warning to the
driver by illuminating the warning in the vehicle
information display and providing an audible
warning. In addition, the FEB system pushes the
accelerator pedal up. If the driver releases the
accelerator pedal, then the system applies
partial braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the FEB system
detects that there is still the possibility of a
forward collision, the system will automatically
increase the braking force.
If a forward collision is imminent and the driver
does not take action, the FEB system issues the
second visual (flashing) and audible warning and
automatically applies harder braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the FEB system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway
conditions, the system may help the driver avoid
a forward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences of a collision should one beunavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
.
When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead.
If the FEB system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for approxi-
mately 2 seconds before the brakes are
released.

BRAKE ASSIST
When the force applied to the brake pedal
exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is
activated generating greater braking force than a
conventional brake booster even with light pedal
force.
WARNING
The Brake Assist is only an aid to assist
braking operation and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at
all times.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
WARNING
.The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
is a sophisticated device, but it
cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help maintain
vehicle control during braking on
slippery surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances on slippery sur-
faces will be longer than on normal surfaces even with ABS. Stopping
distances may also be longer on
rough, gravel or snow covered
roads, or if you are using tire chains.
Always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Ultimately, the driver is responsible
for safety.
. Tire type and condition may also
affect braking effectiveness.
— When replacing tires, install the
specified size of tires on all four
wheels.
— When installing a spare tire, make sure that it is the proper
size and type as specified on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. See “Tire and loading
information label” (P.10-12) .
— For detailed information, see “Wheels and tires” (P.8-30) .
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls
the brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard
braking or when braking on slippery surfaces.
The system detects the rotation speed at each
wheel and varies the brake fluid pressure to
prevent each wheel from locking and sliding. By preventing each wheel from locking, the system
helps the driver maintain steering control and
helps to minimize swerving and spinning on
slippery surfaces.
Using the system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.
Depress the brake pedal with firm steady
pressure, but do not pump the brakes. The
ABS will operate to prevent the wheels from
locking up. Steer the vehicle to avoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so
may result in increased stopping dis-
tances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine
and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward
or reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may
hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction. If the computer senses
a malfunction, it switches the ABS off and
