rain, fog, or other bad weather.
Decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal, de-
pending on the distance to the
vehicle ahead and the surrounding
circumstances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
.If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,
the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still within the limitations of the
system. The system will cancel once
it judges that the vehicle has come
to a standstill and sound a warning
chime. To prevent the vehicle from
moving, the driver must depress the
brake pedal.
.Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode of the ICC
system may not be able to maintain
the selected distance between ve-
hicles (following distance) or se-
lected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.
.The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To avoidaccidents, never use the ICC system
under the following conditions:
— On roads where the traffic is
heavy or there are sharp curves
— On slippery road surfaces such
as on ice or snow, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere
to the system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the
vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in overheat-
ing the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and downhill
roads
— When traffic conditions make it
difficult to keep a proper dis-
tance between vehicles because
of frequent acceleration or de-
celeration
— Interference by other radar
sources.
.In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedlycome into the sensor detection
zone and cause automatic braking.
You may need to control the dis-
tance from other vehicles using the
accelerator pedal. Always stay alert
and avoid using the ICC system
when it is not recommended in this
section.
The radar sensor will not detect the following
objects:
.Stationary and slow moving vehicles
.Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
.Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
.Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals re-
turned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the
sensor cannot detect the reflection from the
vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not maintain
the selected distance.
The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot detect the signals:
.When the snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s visibility
.When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the cargo area of your
vehicle
The ICC system is designed to automatically

check the sensor’s operation within the limitation
of the system. When the sensor is covered with
dirt or is obstructed, the system will automati-
cally be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag, etc.,
the ICC system may not detect them. In these
instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode may not cancel and may not be able to
maintain the selected following distance from
the vehicle ahead. Be sure to check and clean
the sensor regularly.
SSD0252
The detection zone of the radar sensor is limited.
A vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone
for the vehicle-to-vehicle distance detection
mode to maintain the selected distance from
the vehicle ahead.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the
detection zone due to its position within the
same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be
detected in the same lane ahead if they are
traveling offset from the centerline of the lane. A
vehicle that is entering the lane ahead may not
be detected until the vehicle has completely
moved into the lane.If this occurs, the ICC
system may warn you by blinking the
system indicator and sounding the chime.The driver may have to manually control
the proper distance away from vehicle
traveling ahead.

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as winding,
hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads which are
under construction, the radar sensor may detect
vehicles in a different lane, or may temporarily
not detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This may
cause the ICC system to decelerate or accel-
erate the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
traveling position in the lane, etc.) or vehicle
condition.If this occurs, the ICC system may
warn you by blinking the system indicator
and sounding the chime unexpectedly. You
will have to manually control the proper
distance away from the vehicle travelingahead.
System temporarily unavailable
The following are conditions in which the ICC
system may be temporarily unavailable. In these
instances, the ICC system may not cancel and
may not be able to maintain the selected
following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the ICC system
is automatically canceled. A chime will sound
and the system will not be able to be set:
.When the VDC is turned off.When the ABS or VDC (including the
traction control system) operates
.When a 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 a
standstill
.When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) or
manual shift mode
.When the parking brake is applied
.When a tire slips
.When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no longer
present, turn the ICC system back on to use the
system.

Condition B:
The chime will sound and the “Unavailable: Front
Radar Obstruction” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
.When the radar sensor area is covered with
dirt or is obstructed, making it impossible to
detect a vehicle ahead, the ICC system is
automatically canceled.
Action to take:
If the warning message appears, park the
vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine off.
When the radar signal is temporarily interrupted,
clean the sensor area and restart the engine. If
the “Unavailable: Front Radar Obstruction”
warning message continues to be displayed,have the ICC system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
.When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next to
long walls) , the system may illuminate the
ICC system warning (yellow) and display the
"Unavailable: Front Radar Obstruction" mes-
sage.
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no longer
present, turn the ICC system back on to use the
system.
JVS0968X
Condition C:
When the ICC system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the ICC system warning
(yellow) will appear.
Action to take:
If the warning appears, park the vehicle in a safe
place. Turn the engine off, restart the engine,
resume driving and set the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
warning stays on, it may indicate that the
ICC system is malfunctioning. Although
the vehicle is still driveable under normal
conditions, have the vehicle checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN

dealer for this service.

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 stationaryvehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the
FEB system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds over
approximately 50 MPH (80 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.
.In some road or traffic conditions,
the FEB system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When accel-
eration is necessary, continue to
depress the accelerator pedal to
override the system.
.The FEB system may react to a
roadside object (traffic sign, guard
rail etc.) ..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.
