System set display with vehicle aheadSystem set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC
system maintains the set vehicle speed,
similar to standard cruise control, as long
as no vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the
vehicle by controlling the throttle and
applying the brakes to match the speed
of a slower vehicle ahead. The system
then controls the vehicle speed based onthe speed of the vehicle ahead to main-
tain the driver selected distance.
NOTE:
.
The stop lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the ICC system.
. When the brake operates, a noise
may be heard. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on. The ICC system will also display the
set speed and selected distance. Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the pre-
viously set vehicle speed. The ICC
system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns
off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during accel-
eration to the set vehicle speed or any
time the ICC system is in operation, the
system controls the distance to that
vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected
under approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h),
the system will be canceled.

How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the
traffic conditions.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
is
pushed, the set distance will change to
long, middle, short and back to long again
in that sequence.
JVS1093X
. The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle
speed. The higher the vehicle speed,
the longer the distance.
. If the engine is stopped, the set
distance becomes “long”. (Each time
the engine is started, the initial setting
becomes “long”.)Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that
vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the
system warns the driver with the chime
and ICC system display. Decelerate by
depressing the brake pedal to maintain a

safe vehicle distance if:
.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection indicator
blinks.
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) position or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When VDC (including the traction
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

mode limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open
roads with light traffic. It is not
advisable to use the system in
city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system 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 sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome

Condition B:
The chime will sound and the “Unavail-
able: Front Radar Obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
.When the radar sensor area is covered
with dirt or is obstructed, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead,
the ICC system is automatically can-
celed.
Action to take:
If the warning message appears, park the
vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine
off. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted, clean the sensor area and
restart the engine. If the “Unavailable: Front Radar Obstruction” warning mes-
sage continues to be displayed, have the
ICC 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), the
system may illuminate the ICC system
warning (yellow) and display the "Un-
available: Front Radar Obstruction"
message.
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the ICC system back
on to use the system.
JVS0968X
Condition C:
When the ICC system is not operating
properly, the chime sounds and the ICC
system warning (yellow) will appear.
Action to take:
If the warning appears, park the vehicle in
a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart
the engine, resume driving and set the
ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or
the warning stays on, it may indicate
that the ICC system is malfunctioning.
Although the vehicle is still driveable
under normal conditions, have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-

CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 MPH (40 km/h to 144
km/h) without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal.
WARNING
.In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, a warning
chime does not sound to warn
you if you are too close to the
vehicle ahead, as neither the pre-
sence of the vehicle ahead nor
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is
detected.
. Pay special attention to the dis-
tance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you or a
collision could occur.
. Always confirm the setting in the
ICC system display. .
Do not use the conventional
(fixed speed) 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 varies 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.JVS0999X

AEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The AEB system will function when your
vehicle is driven at speeds above approxi-
mately 3 MPH (5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB system will firstly provide the
warning to the driver by flashing the
warning (yellow) in the vehicle informa-
tion display and providing an audible
alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the AEB
system detects that there is still the
possibility of a forward collision, the
system will automatically increase the
braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB
system issues the second visual (flashing)
(red) and audible warning. If the driver
releases the accelerator pedal, then the
system applies partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes immi-
nent, the AEB system applies harder
braking automatically.
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.
