WARNING
.The electronic parking brake will
not be automatically applied
when the engine is stopped with-
out using the ignition switch (for
example, by engine stalling).
Without the vehicle stationary,
the electronic parking brake will
not be automatically applied
even if the engine is turned off
with the ignition switch.
. Before leaving the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the 1 (1st) or R
(Reverse) position and check that
the electronic parking brake
warning light is illuminated to
confirm that the electronic park-
ing brake is applied. The electro-
nic parking brake warning light
will remain on for a period of time
after the driver’s door is locked.
CAUTION
When parking in an area where the
outside temperature is below 32°F
(0°C), do not apply the parking brake
to prevent it from freezing. For safe parking, place the shift lever
in the 1 (1st) or R (Reverse) position
and securely block the wheels.
NOTE:
. To keep the electronic parking brake
released after the engine is turned
off, place the ignition switch in the
OFF position, depress the brake
pedal and push down the parking
brake switch before opening the
driver’s door.
. If a malfunction occurs in the electric
parking brake system (for example,
due to battery discharge), it is re-
commended to contact a NISSAN
dealer.
Manual operation
The electronic parking brake will not be
automatically applied if the engine is
stopped without using the ignition switch
(for example, by engine stalling). In such a
case, you have to apply the parking brake
manually.
To apply: Pull the switch up
. The
indicator lightwill illuminate.
To release: With the ignition switch in the
ON position, depress the brake pedal and
push the switch down
. The indicator
lightwill turn off. Before driving, check that the electronic
parking brake warning light
goes out.
For additional information, see “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible remin-
ders” (P.2-10).
NOTE:
. A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is
driven without releasing the parking
brake. See “Audible reminders” (P.2-
17).
. While the electronic parking brake is
applied or released, an operating
sound is heard from the lower side
of the rear seat. This is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.
. When the electronic parking brake is
frequently applied and released in a
short period of time, the parking
brake may not operate in order to
prevent the parking brake system
from overheating. If this occurs,
operate the electronic parking brake
switch again after waiting approxi-
mately 1 minute.
. If the electronic parking brake must
be applied while driving in an emer-
gency, pull up and hold the parking
brake switch. When you release the
parking brake switch, the parking
brake will be released.
. While pulling up the electronic park-
ing brake switch during driving, the

parking brake is applied and a chime
sounds. The electronic parking
brake warning light in the meter
and in the parking brake switch
illuminate. This does not indicate a
malfunction. The electronic parking
brake warning light in the meter and
in the parking brake switch turn off
when the parking brake is released.
. When pulling the electronic parking
brake switch up with the ignition
switch in the OFF or ACC position,
the parking brake switch indicator
light will continue to illuminate for a
short period of time.

LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the LDW system. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the LDW system
could result in serious injury or
death.
.The system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37
MPH (60 km/h) or if it cannot
detect lane markers.
. Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard.
. Do not use the LDW system under
the following conditions as it may
not function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
— When driving on winding or uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs. — When driving in a makeshift or
temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal tire conditions (for example,
tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
. The system may not function
properly under the following con-
ditions:
— On roads where there are
multiple parallel lane markers;
lane markers that are faded or

able.
— On roads where there are sharp curves. — On roads where there are
sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs. (The LDW system could
detect these items as lane
markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane marker.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres to the windshield in
front of the lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
