2018 NISSAN ALTIMA warning

∙ The system may not detect the ve-hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, 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 ve- hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
– When traffic conditions make it dif- ficult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of fre-
quent 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 follow-
ing 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 following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot properly detect a ve-
hicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly: ∙ When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection. ∙ When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the trunk of
your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitations of the system.
The detection zone of the ICC sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance detection mode to maintain the se-
lected 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 dis-
tance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.

Action to take
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the system off using
the ICC CRUISE
switch. Turn the ICC
system back on to use the system.
Condition B
When the radar sensor area of the front
bumper is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed, the ICC system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor area is covered
with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl
bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect
vehicles ahead. In these instances, the ICC
system may not cancel and may not be
able to maintain the selected following dis-
tance from the vehicle ahead. Be sure to
check and clean the sensor area.
The system warning light (orange) will illu-
minate and the “Unavailable: Front Radar
Obstruction” warning message will appear
in the vehicle information display.
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, or
long bridges, deserts, snow field, driving
next to long walls), the system may illumi-
nate the system warning light (orange) and
display the “Unavailable: Front Radar Ob-
struction” message. Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park
the vehicle in a safe location and turn the
engine off. Check to see if the sensor area
of the front bumper is blocked. If the sensor
area of the front bumper is blocked, re-
move the blocking material. Restart the
engine. If the warning light continues to
illuminate, have the ICC system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Condition C
When the ICC system is not operating
properly, a chime sounds and the system
warning light (orange) will come on.Action to take
If the warning light comes on, park the ve-
hicle 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 indicator stays on, it may indicate
that the system is malfunctioning. Al-
though the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the ICC system1is located
on the front of the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
∙ Always keep the sensor area clean.
∙ Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensor. Do not touch or re-
move the screw located on the sensor.
Doing so could cause failure or mal-
function . If the sensor is damaged due
to an accident, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer. ∙ Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure
or malfunction.
∙ Do not attach metallic objects near the sensor area (brush guard, etc.) This
could cause failure or malfunction.
∙ Do not alter, remove, or paint the front bumper. Before customizing or restor-
ing the front bumper, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.

for the driver’s attention to traffic
conditions or responsibility to drive
safely. It cannot prevent accidents
due to carelessness or dangerous
driving techniques.
∙ The AEB system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The AEB system can assist the driver when
there is a risk of a forward collision with the
vehicle ahead in the traveling lane. The AEB system uses a radar sensor
1
located on the front of the vehicle to mea-
sure the distance to the vehicle ahead in
the same lane.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
(AEB)
5-58Starting and driving

1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. AEB system warning light
AEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The AEB system will function when your
vehicle is driven at speeds above approxi-
mately 3 mph (5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB system will provide an initial warn-
ing to the driver by both a visual and au-
dible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully af ter the warning, and the AEB
system detects that there is still the possi-
bility of a forward collision, the system will
automatically increase the braking force. If
the driver does not take action, the AEB
system issues the second visual warning
and audible warning and also applies par-
tial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent,
the AEB system applies harder braking au-
tomatically.
