terrain.
. Do not drive across steep slopes.
Instead drive either straight up or
straight down the slopes. Off-
road vehicles can tip over side-
ways much more easily than they
can forward or backward.
. Many hills are too steep for any
vehicle. If you drive up them, you
may stall. If you drive down them,
you may not be able to control
your speed. If you drive across
them, you may roll over.
. Do not shift ranges while driving
on downhill grades as this could
cause loss of control of the vehi-
cle.
. Stay alert when driving to the top
of a hill. At the top there could be
a drop-off or other hazard that
could cause an accident.
. If your engine stalls or you cannot
make it to the top of a steep hill,
never attempt to turn around.
Your vehicle could tip or roll over.
Always back straight down in R
(Reverse) range. Never back down
in N (Neutral), using only the
brake, as this could cause loss of
control. .
Heavy braking going down a hill
could cause your brakes to over-
heat and fade, resulting in loss of
control and an accident. Apply
brakes lightly and use a low
range to control your speed.
. Unsecured cargo can be thrown
around when driving over rough
terrain. Properly secure all cargo
so it will not be thrown forward
and cause injury to you or your
passengers.
. To avoid raising the center of
gravity excessively, do not exceed
the rated capacity of the roof rack
(if so equipped) and evenly dis-
tribute the load. Secure heavy
loads in the cargo area as far
forward and as low as possible.
Do not equip the vehicle with tires
larger than specified in this man-
ual. This could cause your vehicle
to roll over.
. Do not grip the inside or spokes
of the steering wheel when driv-
ing off-road. The steering wheel
could move suddenly and injure
your hands. Instead drive with
your fingers and thumbs on the
outside of the rim. .
Before operating the vehicle, en-
sure that the driver and all pas-
sengers have their seat belts
fastened.
. Always drive with the floor mats
in place as the floor may became
hot.
. Lower your speed when encoun-
tering strong crosswinds. With a
higher center of gravity, your
NISSAN is more affected by
strong side winds. Slower speeds
ensure better vehicle control.
. Do not drive beyond the perfor-
mance capability of the tires,
even with 4WD engaged.
. For 4WD equipped vehicles, do
not attempt to raise two wheels
off the ground and shift the
transmission to any drive or re-
verse position with the engine
running. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage
or personal injury.
. Do not attempt to test a 4WD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel
dynamometer (such as the dy-
namometers used by some
states for emissions testing), or

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
LDW and I-LI systems could result in
serious personal injury or death.
.The LDW and I-LI systems will not
prevent loss of control. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehi-
cle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
. The I-LI system may activate if
you change lanes without first
activating your turn signal or, for
example, if a construction zone
directs traffic to cross an existing
lane marker. If this occurs, you
may need to apply corrective
steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the I-LI system may not
activate under the road, weather,
and lane marker conditions de-
scribed in this section, it may not
activate every time your vehicle
begins to leave its lane and you
will need to apply corrective
steering. .
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
— warns the driver with a warning
light and chime that the vehicle is
beginning to leave the driving lane.
. Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) sys-
tem
— warns the driver with a warning
light and chime, and helps assist
the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane by
applying the brakes to the left or
right wheels individually (for a short
period of time).

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE LDW
SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the LDW system.
1. Push the SETTING button
.
2. Touch [Driver Assistance].
3. Touch [Lane Assist].
4. Touch [Lane Departure Warning] to turn the system ON/OFF.
I-LI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-LI system operates above approxi-
mately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and when the
lane markings are clear.
If the vehicle approaches either the left or
right side of the traveling lane, the LDW
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel will flash and a warning chime will
sound. Then, the I-LI system will auto-
matically apply the brakes for a short
period of time to help assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane.
NOTE:
.The I-LI system is not designed to
work when you operate the lane
change signal and change traveling
lanes in the direction of the signal.
(The I-LI system will become oper-
able again approximately 2 seconds
after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
. The I-LI braking assist will not oper-
ate or will stop operating and only a
warning chime will sound under the
following conditions.
—When the brake pedal is de-
pressed.
— When the steering wheel is turned
as far as necessary for the vehicle
to change lanes. —
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed while brake control
assist is provided.
— When the ICC, I-DC, I-BSI, BSW, I-
FCW or AEB warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
. While the I-LI system is operating,
you may hear a sound of brake
operation. This is normal and indi-
cates that the I-LI system is operat-
ing properly.

Illustration 10 - Entering from the side
Illustration 10: The I-BSI system will not
operate if your vehicle is on a lane marker
when another vehicle enters the detec-
tion zone. In this case only the BSW
system operates.
NOTE:
.The radar sensors may not detect a
vehicle which is traveling at about
the same speed as your vehicle
when it enters the detection zone.
. If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will
flash but no chime will sound when
the other vehicle is detected. .
I-BSI braking will not operate or will
stop operating and only a warning
chime will sound under the following
conditions.
—When the brake pedal is de-
pressed.
— When the vehicle is accelerated
during I-BSI system operation.
— When steering quickly
— When the ICC, I-DC, I-FCW or AEB
warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers

a vehicle ahead, this system automati-
cally accelerates or decelerates your ve-
hicle according to the speed of the
vehicle ahead. Depress the accelerator
to properly accelerate your vehicle when
acceleration is required for a lane change.
Depress the brake pedal when decelera-
tion is required to maintain a safe dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to its
sudden braking or if a vehicle cuts in.
Always stay alert when using the ICC
system.

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
