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
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
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

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 surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain 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 can-
cel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To pre-
vent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake
pedal.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the ICC system may
not be able to maintain the se-
lected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some cir-
cumstances.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions:
— 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 system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in over-
heating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
— Interference by other radar sources.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec- tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control
the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using
the ICC system when it is not
recommended in this section.
The radar sensor will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary and slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the vehicle ahead. There-
fore, if the sensor cannot detect the
reflection from the vehicle ahead, the
ICC system may not maintain the se-
lected distance.
The following are some conditions in
which the sensor cannot detect the
signals:
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the cargo
area of your vehicle
The ICC system is designed to automati-

cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitation of the system. When the
sensor is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the ICC system may not detect them.
In these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode may not cancel
and may not be able to maintain the
selected following distance from the ve-
hicle ahead. Be sure to check and clean
the sensor regularly.
SSD0252
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the
detection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance detection mode 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 entering
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 vehicle tra-
veling ahead.

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as
winding, 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 vehicle traveling ahead. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate
or accelerate the vehicle.
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 ICC 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.
System temporarily unavailable
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:.
When the VDC is turned off
. When the ABS or VDC (including the
traction control system) operates
. When a vehicle ahead is not detected
and your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at a standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When a tire slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the ICC system back
on to use the system.

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.

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-

vice.

AEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the AEB system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The AEB system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensor does not detect
the following objects:
— Pedestrians, animals or obsta-
cles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
. The radar sensor has some per-
formance limitations. If a station-
ary vehicle is in the vehicle’s path,
the AEB system will not function
when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over approximately 50
MPH (80 km/h).
. The radar sensor may not detect
a vehicle ahead in the following
conditions: — Dirt, ice, snow or other materi-
al covering the radar sensor.
— Interference by other radar sources.
— Snow or road spray from tra- veling vehicles.
— If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle)
— When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
the AEB system may unexpect-
edly apply partial braking. When
acceleration is necessary, con-
tinue to depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
. The AEB system may react to a
roadside object (traffic sign,
guard rail etc.).
. Braking distances increase on
slippery surfaces.
. The system is designed to auto-
matically check the sensor’s func-
tionality, within certain
limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction
of the sensor area such as ice,
snow, stickers, for example. In these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. Be sure that you check, clean
and clear the sensor area regu-
larly.
. Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard.
