How to change the set distance to the
vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be se-
lected at any time depending on the traffic con-
ditions.
Each time the distance
switchAis
pushed, the set distance will change to long,
middle, short and back to long again, in that
sequence.
Distance Approximate distance at
60 mph (100 km/h) [ft (m)]
1. Long 200 (60)
2. Middle 150 (45)
3. Short 100 (30)
● The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed. The
higher the vehicle speed, the longer the dis-
tance.
● If the engine is stopped, the set distance
becomes “long”. (Each time the engine is
started, the initial setting becomes “long”.)
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if
another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the
driver with the chime and ICC system display.
Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to
maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
● The chime sounds.
● The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
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 in-
creasing.
● When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when: ● The vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed, overrid-
ing the system.

NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
ICC 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 ICC 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 a
standstill ●
When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
position or Manual mode
● When the parking brake system is applied
● When the VDC system is turned off
● When ABS or VDC 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
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
● The ICC system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use the
ICC system in city traffic or congested
areas. ●
The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
● As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, depend-
ing on the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circumstances in
order to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill
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.
5-70Starting and driving

●Always pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle and be ready to manually
control the proper following distance.
The ICC system may not be able to
maintain the selected distance between
vehicles (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 avoid accidents, 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 bumper around the distance sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads – When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources.
● Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
● In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Always
stay alert and avoid using the ICC sys-
tem where not recommended in this
warning 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 returned
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 properly detect a vehicle ahead
and the system may not operate properly:
● When snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.
● When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
● When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or cargo area of your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation within the limita-
tions of the system.
When the sensor is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed, the system will automatically be can-
celed. If the sensor is covered with ice, a trans-
parent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC
system may not detect them. In these instances,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control 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.
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.

To cancel the preset speed, use any of the fol-
lowing methods:1. Push the CANCEL switch. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The vehicle speed indi- cator will turn off.
3. Turn the CRUISE ON/OFF off. Both the cruise indicator and vehicle speed 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 SET/- switch.
2. Push and hold the SET/+ switch. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, release
the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the SET/+ 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 ve- hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET/- switch and release it.
2. Push and hold the SET/- switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows down to the
desired speed.
3. Push, then quickly release the 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 SET/+ switch. The vehicle will resume the
last set cruising speed when the vehicle speed is
over 25 mph (40 km/h).
5-80Starting and driving

System temporarily unavailable
A chime sounds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled:● When the vehicle slows down more than
8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed
● When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) or
manual shift mode
● When the parking brake is applied
● When the VDC operates (including the trac-
tion control system)
● When a wheel slips
When the system is not operating properly, the
chime sounds and the color of the cruise indica-
tor will change to orange.
Action to take
If the color of the cruise indicator changes to
orange, stop the vehicle in a safe place and place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position. Turn the
engine off, restart the engine, resume driving, and
then perform the setting again.
If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the 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.

1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. FEB emergency warning indicator
3. FEB warning light
FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB system will function when your vehicle is
driven at speeds above approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the FEB
system will provide an initial warning to the driver
by both a visual and audible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully after the warning, and the FEB system de-
tects that there is still the possibility of a forward
collision, the system will automatically increase
the braking force. If the driver does not take
action, the FEB system issues the second visual
warning (red) and audible warning and also ap-
plies partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
FEB system applies harder braking automatically.
LSD2687
Starting and driving5-83

NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
braking is performed by the forward emer-
gency braking 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 conse-
quences of a collision, should one be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB system will func-
tion later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing 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 approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.
