2017 NISSAN MAXIMA warning

TURNING THE FEB SYSTEM
ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the FEB sys-
tems ON or OFF.1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display and
then press OK button. Use the
button
to select “Driver Assistance”. Then press the
OK button.
2. Select “Emergency Brake” and press the OK button.
3. Select “System” and press the OK button.
When the FEB system is turned off, the FEB
system warning light illuminates.
NOTE:
● The FEB system will be automatically turned
on when the engine is restarted.
● The PFCW system (if so equipped) is inte-
grated into the FEB system. There is not a
separate selection in the vehicle information
display for the PFCW system. When the
FEB is turned off, 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 serious injury or
death.
● The FEB system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
● The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Crossing vehicles.
● The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicles’s path, the FEB
system will not function when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 mph (80 km/h).
● The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov- ering the radar sensor. – Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle) .
– When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
● In some road or traffic conditions, the
FEB system may unexpectedly apply
partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the ac-
celerator pedal to override the system.
● Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.
● The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstructions of
the sensor area such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, etc. 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.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A
When the radar sensor picks up interference
from another radar source, making it impossible
to detect a vehicle ahead, the FEB system is
automatically turned off.
The FEB system warning light (orange) will illu-
minate.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
FEB system will resume automatically.
Condition B
When the sensor area of the front bumper is
covered with dirt or is obstructed, making it im-
possible to detect a vehicle ahead, the FEB sys-
tem is automatically turned off.
The FEB system warning light (orange) will illu-
minate and the “Unavailable: Front Radar Ob-
struction” warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
When driving on roads with limited road struc-
tures or buildings (for example, long bridges,
deserts, snow fields, driving next to long walls) ,
the system may illuminate the system warning

light (orange) and display the “Unavailable: Front
Radar Obstruction” message.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever in the
P (Park) position and turn the engine off. Clean
the radar cover on the lower grille with a soft
cloth, and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the FEB system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
NOTE:
If the FEB system stops working, the PFCW
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the FEB system malfunctions, it will be turned
off automatically, a chime will sound, the FEB
warning light (orange) will illuminate and the
warning message [Malfunction] will appear in the
vehicle information display.Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop the
vehicle in a safe location, turn the engine off and
restart the engine. If the warning light continues
to illuminate, have the FEB systems checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensorAis located behind the lower grille
of the front bumper.
To keep the system operating properly, be sure to
observe the following:
● Always keep the sensor area of the front
bumper clean.
● Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
● Do not cover or attach stickers or similar
objects on the front bumper near the sensor
area. This could cause failure or malfunction.

●Do not attach metallic objects near the sen-
sor area (brush guard, etc.) . This could
cause failure or malfunction.
● Do not alter, remove or paint the front bum-
per. Before customizing or restoring the
front bumper, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer.

not avoid a collision. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver when
there is a sudden braking of a second vehicle
traveling in front of the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.
