2018 NISSAN ROGUE sensor

∙ The ProPILOT Assist system does notreact to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ProPILOT Assist sys-
tem. Read and understand the Own-
er’s Manual thoroughly before using
the ProPILOT Assist system. To avoid
serious injury or death, do not rely on
the system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emer-
gency situations. Do not use the Pro-
PILOT Assist system except in appro-
priate road and traffic conditions.
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same
lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera
Ainstalled behind
the windshield and a radar sensor located
on the front of the vehicle
Bto measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and to monitor the lane mark-
ers. If the vehicle detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the
vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows
the vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The system will also help keep the vehicle centered in the traveling lane when clear
lane markings are detected.

When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicator
Bflashes when the ve-
hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator turns off
when the area ahead of the vehicle is open.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-
turns to the previously set speed. Even
though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator
pedal when it is necessary to accelerate
your vehicle rapidly.
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:
∙ The chime sounds.
∙ The vehicle ahead detection indicator and set distance indicator blink.
∙ You judge it necessary to maintain a safe distance.
The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are: ∙ When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between
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 vehicles 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 flash 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 detect these objects
when the vehicle is driven on winding,
narrow, or hilly roads or when the vehicle
is entering or exiting a curve. In these
cases, you will have to manually control
the proper distance ahead of your ve-
hicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or ve-
hicle conditions (for example, if a vehicle is
being driven with some damage).

ICC system 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 overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, de-
pending on the distance to the vehicle
ahead and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a safe
distance between vehicles.
∙ When the ICC system automatically brings the car to a stop, your vehicle
can automatically accelerate if the ve-
hicle is stopped for less than approxi-
mately 3 seconds. Be prepared to stop
your vehicle if necessary.
∙ 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 with heavy, high-speed traffic or 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
Starting and driving5-107

– Interference by other radarsources.
∙ Do not use the ICC system if you are towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
∙ In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Always
stay alert and avoid using the ICC sys-
tem where not recommended in this
warning section.
The ICC system will not detect the following
objects: ∙ Stationary or slow moving vehicles
∙ Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
∙ Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
∙ Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane The following are some conditions in which
the radar sensor cannot properly detect a
vehicle ahead and the system may not op-
erate properly:
∙ When the sensor detection is reduced (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 surface, such as an uneven dirt road
∙ If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cov- ering the radar sensor area
∙ A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier trailer or flatbed
truck/trailer is near the vehicle ahead.
∙ Interference by other radar sources
∙ When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
∙ When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of
your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the radar sensor’s operation
within the limitations of the system. The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the ICC system to maintain
the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside
of the detection zone due to its position
within the same lane of travel. Motorcycles
may not be detected in the same lane
ahead if they are traveling offset from the
center line of the lane. A vehicle that is en-
tering the lane ahead may not be detected
until the vehicle has completely moved into
the lane.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have
to manually control the proper distance
away from the vehicle traveling ahead.
The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses
a multi-sensing front camera. The follow-
ing are some conditions in which the cam-
era may not properly detect a vehicle and
detection of a vehicle ahead may be de-
layed:
∙ Poor visibility (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms,
and road spray from other vehicles)
5-108Starting and driving

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a ve-
hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the
radar system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You will
have to manually control the proper dis-
tance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.
Automatic cancellation
The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to
maintain the selected following distance
from the vehicle ahead.Condition A
Under the following conditions, the ICC system
is automatically canceled. A chime will sound
and the system will not be able to be set:
∙ Any door is open.
∙ The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
∙ The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 mph (24 km/h).
∙ Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC system for approximately 3 minutes
or longer.
∙ The shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) po- sition or manual shif t mode.
∙ The electronic parking brake is applied.
∙ The VDC system is turned off.
∙ The AEB applies harder braking.
∙ VDC (including the traction control sys- tem) operates.
∙ A wheel slips.
∙ When distance measurement be- comes impaired due to adhesion of dirt
or obstruction to the sensor.
∙ When the radar signal is temporarily in- terrupted.

∙ The VDC system is turned off.
∙ When distance measurement be-
comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor.
∙ When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted. Condition B
When the radar sensor of the front bumper
is covered with dirt or is obstructed, 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.
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 engine
off. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted, clean the sensor area of the
front bumper and restart the engine. If the
“Unavailable: Front Radar Obstruction”
warning message continues to be dis-
played, have the system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
Condition C
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next to
long walls), the system may illuminate the
system warning light and display the “Un-
available: Front Radar Obstruction” mes-
sage. Action to take:
When the above driving conditions no lon-
ger exist, turn the system back on.
ICC system malfunction
If the ICC system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, and the speed control status warn-
ing (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off,
restart the engine and set the ICC system
again. If it is not possible to set the ICC
system or the indicator stays on, it may be
a malfunction. Although the normal driving
can be continued, the ICC system should
be inspected. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
ICC sensor maintenance
The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
∙ Always keep the sensor area clean.
Starting and driving5-111

∙ Do not strike or damage the areasaround the sensor.
∙ Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure
or malfunction.
∙ Do not attach metallic objects near the sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This
could cause failure or malfunction.
∙ Do not alter, remove, or paint the front bumper.
Before customizing or restoring the front
bumper, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.
The camera sensor is located above the
inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the sys-
tems and prevent a system malfunction,
be sure to observe the following: ∙ Always keep the windshield clean.
∙ Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit. ∙ Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane mark-
ers.
∙ 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.
If the camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.
STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death. ∙ The Steering Assist is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, inattentive or absent-minded
driving. The Steering Assist will not al-
ways steer the vehicle to keep it in the
lane. It is not designed to prevent loss
of control. It is the driver’s responsibil-
ity to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist’s capability, never rely
solely on the system. The Steering As-
sist does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather, and road conditions.
Always drive safely, pay attention to
the operation of the vehicle, and
manually control your vehicle
appropriately.
∙ The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways with gentle (moderate) curves.
To avoid risk of an accident, do not use
this system on local or non-highway
roads.
5-112Starting and driving

WARNING
Steering Assist is not a system for a
hands-free driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and drive
your vehicle safely. Failure to do so
could cause a collision resulting in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of
firmly grips) the steering wheel, the
steering torque sensor may not detect
the driver’s hand(s) on the wheel and a
sequence of warnings may occur. When
the driver holds and operates the steer-
ing wheel again, the warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
WARNING
∙ In the following situations, the cam- era may not detect lane markers cor-
rectly or may detect lane markers in-
correctly and the Steering Assist may
not operate properly: – When driving on roads where there
are multiple parallel lane markers,
lane markers that are faded or not
painted clearly, nonstandard lane
markers, or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– When driving on roads with dis- continued lane markers
– When driving on roads with a wid- ening or narrowing lane width
– When driving on roads where there are multiple lanes or unclear lane
markers due to road construction
– When driving on roads where there are sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams, or lines remain-
ing af ter road repairs (the Steering
Assist could detect these items as
lane markers)
– When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or separates ∙ Do not use the Steering Assist under
the following conditions because the
system may not properly detect lane
markers. Doing so could cause a loss
of vehicle control and result in an
accident.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, dust, etc.)
– When rain, snow, sand, etc., is thrown up by the wheels of other
vehicles
– When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or another object adheres to the
camera unit
– When the lens of the camera unit is foggy
– When strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from on-
coming vehicles) shines on the
camera
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or the head-
lights are off in tunnels or darkness
– When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs (for example, when the
vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or is
under a bridge)
