2018 NISSAN QASHQAI sensor

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as
winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or
roads which are under construction, the
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a
vehicle traveling ahead. This may cause
the system to work inappropriately.
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 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.

Condition A
When the radar sensor picks up interfer-
ence from another radar source, making
it impossible to detect a vehicle ahead,
the AEB system is automatically turned
off.
The AEB system warning light (orange)
will illuminate.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the AEB system will resume auto-
matically.
Condition B
Starting and driving5-87

5-88Starting and driving
In the following conditions, the AEB
system warning light (orange) will illumi-
nate and the “Unavailable: Front Radar
Obstruction” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
.The sensor area on the front of the
vehicle is covered with dirt or is
obstructed.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn
the engine off. Clean the radar cover on
the front of the vehicle with a soft cloth,
and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the AEB
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
. When driving on roads with limited
road structures or buildings (for ex-
ample, long bridges, deserts, snow
fields, driving next to long walls).
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the AEB system will resume auto-
matically.
Condition C
When the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system is OFF, the AEB brake will not
operate. In this case only visible and
audible warning operates. The AEB sys-
tem warning light (orange) will illuminate. Action to take
When the VDC system is ON, the AEB
system will resume automatically.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the AEB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, the AEB system warning light
(orange) will illuminate and the “Malfunc-
tion” warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
Action to take:
If the AEB system warning light (orange)
comes on, stop the vehicle in a safe
location. Turn the engine off and restart
the engine. If the warning light continues
to illuminate, have the AEB system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensoris located on the front of
the vehicle.
To keep the system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the sensor area on the
front of the vehicle clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the sensor.
. Do not cover or attach stickers or
similar objects on the front of the
vehicle near the sensor area. This
could cause failure or malfunction.
. Do not attach metallic objects near
the sensor area (brush guard, etc.).
This could cause failure or malfunc-

tion.
. Do not alter, remove or paint the front
of the vehicle near the sensor area.
Before customizing or restoring the
sensor area, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
AEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death.
.
The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system is a supplemental aid
to the driver. It is not a replace-
ment 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 with pedestrian detec-
tion system does not function in
all driving, traffic, weather and
road conditions.
The AEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem can assist the driver when there is a
risk of a forward collision with the vehicle
ahead in the traveling lane or with a
pedestrian.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB)
WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM*

5-90Starting and driving
JVS1042X
The AEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem uses a radar sensorlocated on the
front of the vehicle to measure the
distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.
For pedestrians, the AEB system uses a
camera
installed behind the windshield
in addition to the radar sensor.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the AEB with pedestrian
detection system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.
.The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system cannot detect all
vehicles or pedestrians under all
conditions.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system does not detect the
following objects:
— Small pedestrians (including
small children), animals and
cyclists.
— Pedestrians in wheelchairs or using mobile transport such
as scooters, child-operated
toys, or skateboards.
— Pedestrians who are seated or otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position. — Obstacles on the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
— Obstacles on the roadside
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system has some perfor-
mance limitations.
— If a stationary vehicle is in the
vehicle’s path, the AEB with
pedestrian detection system
will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds
over approximately 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
— For pedestrian detection, the AEB with pedestrian detection
system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds
over approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h) or below approxi-
mately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may not function for
pedestrians in darkness or in
tunnels, even if there is street
lighting in the area.
. For pedestrians, the AEB with
pedestrian detection system will
not issue the first warning. .
The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may not function if
the vehicle ahead is narrow (for
example a motorcycle).
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may not function if
speed difference between the
two vehicles is too small.
. The radar sensor may not func-
tion properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
— Poor visibility (conditions such
as rain, snow, fog, dust
storms, sandstorms, and road
spray from other vehicles)
— Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp
curves.
— Driving on a bumpy road sur- face, such as an uneven dirt
road.
— If dirt, ice, snow or other ma- terial is covering the radar
sensor area.
— Interference by other radar sources.
. The camera may not function
properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:

— The camera area of wind-shield is fogged up, or covered
with dirt, water drops, ice,
snow, etc.
— Strong light (for example, sun- light or high beams from on-
coming vehicles) 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 bright- ness occurs. (For example,
when the vehicle 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 pat-
tern which is similar to the
background.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifi-
able due to the pedestrian
transporting cargo, wearing
bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories.
. The system performance may
degrade in the following condi- tions:
— 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
cargo area of your vehicle.
. The system is designed to auto-
matically check the sensor (radar
and camera)’s functionality, with-
in certain limitations. The system
may not detect blockage of sen-
sor 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 condi-
tions, the AEB system may unex-
pectedly apply partial braking.
When acceleration is necessary,
depress the accelerator pedal to
override the system.
. The AEB system may react a
roadside object (traffic sign,
guard rail etc.)
. Braking distances increase on
slippery surfaces. .
Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard.
