2018 NISSAN ALTIMA SL fog light

FOG LIGHT SWITCH (if so
equipped)
To turn the fog lights on, turn the headlight
switch to the

∙ Do not use the LDW system under thefollowing 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 un- even roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshif t 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, nonstandard
wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle. ∙ The system may not function prop-
erly under the following conditions:
– On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane mark-
ers that are faded or not painted
clearly; yellow painted lane mark-
ers; non-standard lane markers; or
lane markers covered with water,
dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining af ter
road repairs. (The LDW system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
– On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc- tion 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 an 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 aim-
ing is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For example, the light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs. (For example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then
started, the LDW system may be deacti-
vated automatically and the following
message will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display: “Unavailable: High Cabin
Temperature.”
Starting and driving5-37

∙ Once the automatic brake controloperates, it does not operate again if
the vehicle approaches the same
obstacle.
∙ The automatic brake control can only operate for a short period of time.
Therefore, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.
∙ In the following situations, the RAB system may not operate properly or
may not function sufficiently:
– The vehicle is driven in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
– The vehicle’s posture is changed (e.g., when driving over a bump).
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
– The vehicle is turned sharply by turning the steering wheel fully.
– Snow chains are used.
– Wheels or tires other than NISSAN recommended are used. – The brakes are cold at low ambient
temperatures or immediately af ter
driving has started.
– The braking force becomes poor due to wet brakes af ter driving
through a puddle or washing the
vehicle.
∙ Turn the RAB system off in the follow- ing conditions to prevent the occur-
rence of an unexpected accident
resulting from sudden system
operation:
– The vehicle is towed.
– The vehicle is carried on a flatbed truck.
– The vehicle is on the chassis dynamometer.
– The vehicle drives on an uneven road surface.
– Suspension parts other than those designated as Genuine NISSAN
parts are used. (If the vehicle
height or the vehicle body inclina-
tion is changed, the system may
not detect an obstacle correctly.) ∙ Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB system
warning light will illuminate, and the “Sys-
tem fault” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
Action to take
If the warning light illuminates, park the ve-
hicle in a safe location, turn the engine off,
and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the RAB sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
NOTE:
If the RAB system cannot be operated
temporarily, the RAB system warning
light blinks.
Starting and driving5-129

– Driving on a steep downhill slopeor roads with sharp curves.
– Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road.
– If dirt, ice, snow or other material is covering the radar sensor area.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– The camera area of the windshield is fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
– Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming ve-
hicles) enters the front camera.
Strong light causes the area
around the pedestrian to be cast in
a shadow, making it difficult to see.
– A sudden change in brightness oc- curs. (For example, when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or a
shaded area or lightning flashes.)
– The poor contrast of a person to the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background. – The pedestrian’s profile is partially
obscured or unidentifiable due to
the pedestrian transporting lug-
gage, wearing bulky or very loose-
fitting clothing or accessories.
∙ The system performance may de- grade in the following conditions:
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
– The vehicle is driven on a slope.
– Excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the trunk
room of your vehicle.
∙ The system is designed to automati- cally check the sensor’s (radar and
camera) functionality, within certain
limitations. The system may not de-
tect blockage of sensor areas covered
by ice, snow or stickers, for example.
In these cases, the system may not be
able to warn the driver properly. Be
sure that you check, clean and clear
sensor areas regularly. ∙ In some road and traffic conditions,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may unexpectedly apply par-
tial braking. When acceleration is nec-
essary, depress the accelerator pedal
to override the system.
∙ Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
