such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, turn the I-BSI system off and turn
it on again. If the I-BSI system warning
light (orange)
continues to blink even
after the I-BSI system is turned on again,
stop the vehicle in a safe location, place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position and
turn the engine off. Check for and remove
objects obscuring the radar sensors on
the rear bumper, and restart the engine.
If the I-BSI system warning light (orange)
continues to blink, have the I-BSI
system checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the I-BSI system malfunctions, it will
be turned off automatically, a chime will
sound and the I-BSI system warning light
(orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position, turn
the engine off and restart the engine.
If the warning light (orange) continues to
illuminate, have the I-BSI system checked.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the I-BSI
system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or
dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstruct-
ing the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar
sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
for I-BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-BSI and prevent
a system malfunction, be sure to observe
the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting
the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
the camera lens or remove the screw
located on the camera unit. It is
recommended you contact a NISSAN
dealer if the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident.

5-80Starting and driving
safe vehicle distance if:
.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection and set
distance indicator blink.
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) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the SNOW mode switch is
pushed on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models)
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When ABS or VDC (including the trac-
tion 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
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
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.

I-DC SYSTEM DISPLAY AND INDICA-
TORS
The display is located between the speed-
ometer and tachometer.
1. I-DC system switch indicator:
Indicates that the dynamic driver
assistance switch is ON.
2. Vehicle ahead detection indicator:
Indicates whether it detects a vehicle
in front of you.
3. I-DC system warning light (orange): The light comes on if there is a
malfunction in the I-DC system.
I-DC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions of the I-DC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.This system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. Do
not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in
heavy rain or in fog.
. The I-DC system will not apply
brake control while the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the I-DC
system. This system does not
correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving, or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate
the vehicle speed by depressing
the brake pedal, depending on
the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
