∙ Do not use the conventional (fixedspeed) cruise control mode when
driving under the following
conditions:
– When it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that var- ies in speed
– On winding or hilly roads
– On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
– In very windy areas
∙ Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in an accident.

Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode display and
indicators
The display is located in the vehicle infor-
mation display.1. Cruise indicator: This indicator indicates the condition of
the ICC system depending on a color.
∙ Cruise control ON indicator (gray): In- dicates that the ProPILOT Assist
switch is on ∙ Cruise control SET indicator (green):
Indicates that the cruising speed is
set
∙ Cruise control warning (yellow): Indi- cates that there is a malfunction in
the ICC system
2. Set vehicle speed indicator: This indicator indicates the set vehicle
speed. For Canadian models, the
speed is displayed in km/h.
Operating conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To turn on the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the
ProPILOT Assist switch
Afor longer than
about 1.5 seconds.
When pushing the ProPILOT Assist switch
on, the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode display and indicators
Bare
displayed in the vehicle information dis-
play. Af ter you hold the ProPILOT Assist
switch on for longer than about 1.5 sec-
onds, the ICC system display turns off. The
cruise indicator appears. You can now set
LSD3106LSD3094
Starting and driving5-121
your desired cruising speed. Pushing the
ProPILOT Assist switch again will turn the
system completely off. When the ignition
switch is placed in the OFF position, the
system is also automatically turned off.
To use the ICC system again, quickly push
and release the ProPILOT Assist switch
(vehicle-to vehicle distance control mode)
or push and hold it (conventional cruise
control mode) again to turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise
control, make sure to turn the ProPILOT
Assist switch off when not using the ICC
system.To set cruising speed, accelerate your ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the SET-
C
switch and release it. (The color of the
cruise indicator changes to green and set
vehicle speed indicator comes on.) Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the pre-
viously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep
hills. If this happens, manually maintain
vehicle speed. To cancel the preset speed, use any of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the ProPILOT Assist switch off. Both the cruise indicator and vehicle
speed indicator will turn off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods: 1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET- switch.
2. Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
release the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h).

5-122Starting and driving
∙ Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is moreefficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.
∙ Recirculating the cool air in the cabin when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Dis-
tances
∙ Observing the speed limit and not exceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where
legally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.
∙ Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces un-
necessary braking.
∙ Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced
braking and smooth acceleration
changes.
∙ Select a gear range suitable to road conditions. 5.
Use Cruise Control
∙ Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady
speed.
∙ Cruise control is particularly effective in providing fuel savings when driving
on flat terrains.
6. Plan for the Shortest Route
∙ Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save
time.
7. Avoid Idling
∙ Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30–60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll
Roads
∙ Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruis-
ing speed through the toll and avoid
stopping and starting. 9.
Winter Warm Up
∙ Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
∙ Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to
effectively circulate the engine oil be-
fore driving.
∙ Your vehicle will reach its ideal oper- ating temperature more quickly
while driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
∙ Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever pos-
sible.
∙ When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C sys-
tem.
Starting and driving5-141
∙ Do not use the cruise control (if soequipped) on slippery roads.
∙ Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gases under your vehicle. Keep snow
clear of the exhaust pipe and from
around your vehicle.
PARKING BRAKE
CAUTION
When parking in an area where the out-
side temperature is below 32°F (0°C), do
not apply the parking brake to prevent
it from freezing.
For safe parking, place the shif t lever in
the P (Park) position and securely block
the wheels.
For models equipped with
electronic parking brake system
CAUTION
To keep the electronic parking brake re-
leased af ter the engine is turned off, re-
fer to “Parking brake” in this section.
5-158Starting and driving
∙ Be careful when passing other vehicles.Passing while towing a trailer requires
considerably more distance than nor-
mal passing. Remember, the length of
the trailer must also pass the other ve-
hicle before you can safely change
lanes.
∙ Downshif t the transmission to a lower gear for engine braking when driving
down steep or long hills. This will help
slow the vehicle without applying the
brakes.
∙ Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
∙ Increase your following distance to al- low for greater stopping distances
while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops
and brake gradually.
∙ NISSAN recommends that the cruise control not be used while towing a
trailer.
∙ Some states or provinces have specific regulations and speed limits for ve-
hicles that are towing trailers. Obey the
local speed limits. ∙ Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness
connections, and trailer wheel lug nuts
af ter 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at
every break.
∙ When launching a boat, don’t allow the water level to go over the exhaust tail
pipe or rear bumper.
∙ Make sure you disconnect the trailer lights before backing the trailer into the
water or the trailer lights may burn out.
When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission
oil/fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, refer
to the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
FLAT TOWING FOR ALL–WHEEL
DRIVE VEHICLE (if so equipped)
Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground is sometimes called flat towing.
This method is sometimes used when
towing a vehicle behind a recreational ve-
hicle, such as a motor home.
CAUTION
∙ Failure to follow these guidelines can result in severe transmission damage.
∙ Never flat tow your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle.
∙ DO NOT tow your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle with any wheels on the
ground. Doing so may cause serious
and expensive damage to the
powertrain.
∙ For emergency towing procedures re- fer to “Towing recommended by
NISSAN” in the “In case of emergency ”
section of this manual.
FLAT TOWING FOR FRONT WHEEL
DRIVE VEHICLE (if so equipped)
Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground is sometimes called flat towing.
This method is sometimes used when
towing a vehicle behind a recreational ve-
hicle, such as a motor home.
