recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (See “Brake sys-
tem” (P.5-106).)
orBrake warning light
(red)
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator (models not
equipped with electronic parking brake
system):
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light illuminates when the
parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the brake warning light
illuminates, and then turns off (models
equipped with electronic parking brake
system). If the light illuminates while the
engine is running with the parking brake
not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid is necessary, add fluid and have
the system checked. It is recom- mended you have this service per-
formed by a NISSAN dealer. (See
“Brake and clutch fluid” (P.8-9).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is
recommended you have this service
performed by a NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illu-
minate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the brake
system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-10).)
WARNING
. Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning
light is on. Driving could be dan-
gerous. If you judge it to be safe,
drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Other-
wise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dan- gerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your
stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort
as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
until the brake system has been
checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Charge warning light
If the light illuminates while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or
if the light remains on, have your vehicle
serviced immediately. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alter-
nator belt is loose, broken or miss-

and release it. (The ICC
system set indicator (green), vehicle
ahead detection indicator, set distance
indicator and set vehicle speed indicator
come on.) Take your foot off the accel-
erator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain
the set speed.
When the SET/- switch
is pushed under
the following conditions, the system can-
not be set and the ICC indicators will blink
for approximately 2 seconds:
. When traveling below 20 MPH (32
km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not
detected .
When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the brakes are operated by the
driver
When the SET/- switch
is pushed under
the following conditions, the system can-
not be set.
A warning chime will sound and a mes-
sage 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 system by pushing the

. When a wheel is slipping (To use the
ICC system, make sure the wheels are
no longer slipping.)

5-72Starting and driving
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 dis-
tance between vehicles. Some examples
are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance be-
tween vehicles is not changing
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling
faster and the distance between ve-
hicles is increasing
. When a vehicle cuts in near your
vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
. Your vehicle approaches other vehi-
cles that are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may
sound and the system display may
blink when the radar 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 radar sensor may de-
tect 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 af-
fected 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 automati-
cally canceled.
.
When the vehicle ahead is not de-
tected and your vehicle is traveling
below the speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) position or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When distance measurement be-
comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor
. When a wheel slips .
When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted

mode limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open
roads with light traffic. It is not
advisable to use the system in
city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt auto-
matically 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 sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome

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 accelerate 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 travel- ing ahead.
System temporarily unavailable
The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. 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
interrupted
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the ICC system back
on to use the system.
