When the SET/– switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the system cannot be set.
A warning chime will sound and a message will
pop up:● When the VDC system is off (To use the ICC
system, turn on the VDC system. Push the
CRUISE ON/OFF switch to turn off the ICC
system and reset the ICC switch by pushing
the CRUISE ON/OFF switch again.)
For additional information about the VDC
system, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” in this section.
● When ABS or VDC is operating
● When a wheel is slipping (To use the ICC
system, make sure the wheels are no longer
slipping.)
1System set display with vehicle ahead
2System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based on
the road conditions. The ICC system maintains the
set vehicle speed, similar to standard cruise con-
trol, as long as no vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead. The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the
ICC system decelerates the vehicle by control-
ling the throttle and applying the brakes to match
the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The system then controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver
selected distance.
NOTE:
● The stoplights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
● When the brake operates, a noise may
be heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and se-
lected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to
resume the previously set vehicle speed. The ICC
system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system
is in operation, the system controls the distance
to that vehicle.

CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed between 25
to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) without keeping your
foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
●In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close
to the vehicle ahead, as neither the
presence of the vehicle ahead nor the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected.
● Pay special attention to the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.
● Always confirm the setting in the ICC
system display.
● Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode when driv-
ing 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 lose of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise con-
trol, make sure to turn the CRUISE
ON/OFF switch off when not using the ICC
system.To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle to
the desired speed, push the SET/-
Cswitch and
release it. (The color of the cruise indicator
changes to green and set vehicle speed indicator
comes on.) Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the set speed.
● To pass another vehicle, depress the accel-
erator pedal. When you release the pedal,
the vehicle will return to the previously set
speed.
● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, manually maintain vehicle speed. 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.

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 ser-
vice.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the FEB system
could result in serious injury or death.
●
The FEB system is a supplemental aid
to the driver. It is not a replacement for
the driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely. It
cannot prevent accidents due to care-
lessness or dangerous driving
techniques.
● The FEB system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The FEB system can assist the driver when there
is a risk of a forward collision with the vehicle
ahead in the traveling lane.
FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING
(FEB) (if so equipped)
5-80Starting and driving

●Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more effi-
cient to use A/C to cool the vehicle due to
increased aerodynamic drag.
● Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Dis-
tances
● Observing the speed limit and not ex-
ceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where legally
allowed) can improve fuel efficiency due
to reduced aerodynamic drag.
● Maintaining a safe following distance be-
hind other vehicles reduces unnecessary
braking.
● Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
● Select a gear range suitable to road con-
ditions.
5. Use Cruise Control
● Using cruise control during highway driv-
ing helps maintain a steady speed.
● Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on flat
terrains. 6.
Plan for the Shortest Route
● Utilize a map or navigation system to de-
termine the best route to save time.
7. Avoid Idling
● Shutting off your engine when safe for
stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
● Automated passes permit drivers to use
special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting.
9. Winter Warm Up
● Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel
economy.
● Vehicles typically need no more than
30 seconds of idling at start-up to effec-
tively circulate the engine oil before driv-
ing.
● Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating
temperature more quickly while driving
versus idling. 10.
Keeping your Vehicle Cool
● Park your vehicle in a covered parking
area or in the shade whenever possible.
● When entering a hot vehicle, opening the
windows will help to reduce the inside
temperature faster, resulting in reduced
demand on your A/C system.

TIRE EQUIPMENT
1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed toprovide superior performance on dry pave-
ment. However, the performance of these
tires will be substantially reduced in snowy
and icy conditions. If you operate your ve-
hicle on snowy or icy roads, NISSAN recom-
mends the use of MUD & SNOW or ALL
SEASON TIRES on all four wheels. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for the tire type, size, speed rating and
availability information.
2. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However, some U.S.
states and Canadian provinces prohibit their
use. Check local, state and provincial laws
before installing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires. 3. Tire chains may be used. For additional in- formation, refer to “Tire chains” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during winter:
● A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove
ice and snow from the windows and wiper
blades.
● A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the
jack to give it firm support.
● A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
● Extra washer fluid to refill the windshield-
washer fluid reservoir.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
● Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain) ,
very cold snow or ice can be slick and
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will
have much less traction or “grip” under
these conditions. Try to avoid driving on
wet ice until the road is salted or
sanded.
● Whatever the condition, drive with cau-
tion. Accelerate and slow down with
care. If accelerating or downshifting too
fast, the drive wheels will lose even
more traction. ●
Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.
● Allow greater following distances on
slippery roads.
● Watch for slippery spots (glare ice) .
These may appear on an otherwise
clear road in shaded areas. If a patch of
ice is seen ahead, brake before reach-
ing it. Try not to brake while on the ice,
and avoid any sudden steering
maneuvers.
● Do not use the cruise control on slip-
pery roads.
● Snow can trap dangerous exhaust
gases under your vehicle. Keep snow
clear of the exhaust pipe and from
around your vehicle.
