VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The ICC system is primarily intendedfor use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.
∙ The ICC system will not adapt auto- matically to road conditions. This sys-
tem 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. ∙ As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive
or absentminded driving, or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate the ve-
hicle speed by depressing the brake
pedal, depending on the distance to
the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to main-
tain a safe distance between vehicles.
∙ If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system.
The system will cancel once it judges
that the vehicle has come to a stand-
still and sound a warning chime. To
prevent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake pedal.
∙ Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manu-
ally control the proper following dis-
tance. The ICC system may not be able
to maintain the selected distance be-
tween vehicles (following distance) or
selected vehicle speed under some
circumstances. ∙ 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

∙ When the radar signal is temporarily in-terrupted
Action to take
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the system off using
the ICC 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.
The chime will sound and the “Unavailable:
Front Radar Obstruction” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle information
display.
When driving on roads with limited road
structures (for example, long bridges, des-
erts, snow fields, driving next to long walls),
the system may illuminate the system
warning light (orange) and display the “Un-
available: Front Radar Obstruction” mes-
sage. Action to take
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shif t lever
in the P (Park) position, and turn the hybrid
system off. When the radar signal is tempo-
rarily interrupted, clean the sensor area of
the front bumper and restart the hybrid
system. If the “Unavailable: Front Radar Ob-
struction” warning message continues to
be displayed, have the 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 ICC sys-
tem warning light (orange) will come on.

While the AEB system is operating, you may
hear the sound of brake operation. This is
normal and indicates that the AEB system
is operating properly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
braking is performed by the AEB system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle ahead, as well as driving and
roadway conditions, the system may help
the driver avoid a forward collision or may
help mitigate the consequences of a colli-
sion, should one be unavoidable. If the
driver is handling the steering wheel, accel-
erating or braking, the AEB system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:∙ When the steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to avoid a collision.
∙ When the accelerator pedal is de- pressed.
∙ When there is no longer a vehicle de- tected ahead. If the AEB system has stopped the vehicle,
the vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
