AEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the AEB system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The AEB system cannot detect all ve- hicles under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensor does not detect the following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Crossing vehicles.
∙ The radar sensor has some perfor- mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicle’s path, the AEB
system will not function when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 mph (80 km/h).
∙ The radar sensor may not detect a ve- hicle ahead in the following
conditions: – Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling 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 unexpectedly apply
partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the
accelerator pedal to override the
system.
∙ Braking distances increase on slip- pery surfaces.
Starting and driving5-61

∙ The system is designed to automati-cally check the sensor’s functionality,
within certain limitations. The system
may not detect some forms of ob-
structions of the sensor area such as
ice, snow, stickers, etc. In these cases,
the system may not be able to worn
the driver properly. Be sure that you
check, clean and clear the sensor area
regularly.
∙ Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
When driving on some roads such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the sensor
may detect vehicles in a different lane, or
may temporarily not detect a vehicle trav-
eling ahead. This may cause the system to
work inappropriately.
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 sys-
tem may warn you by blinking the sys-
tem indicator and sounding the chime
unexpectedly. You will have to manually control the proper distance away from
the vehicle traveling ahead.

BREAK-IN SCHEDULE
Starting and driving5-65

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.1. Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake
Pedal Application
∙ Avoid rapid starts and stops.
∙ Use smooth, gentle accelerator and brake application whenever possible.
∙ Maintain constant speed while com- muting and coast whenever pos-
sible.
2. Maintain Constant Speed
∙ Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
∙ Synchronizing your speed with traffic lights allows you to reduce your num-
ber of stops.
∙ Maintaining a steady speed can mini- mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency.
3. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher
Vehicle Speeds
∙ Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load. ∙ Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more
efficient 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.
FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS
5-66Starting and 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. ∙ Keep your engine tuned up.
∙ Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
∙ Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure. Low tire pressure increases
tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
∙ Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
∙ Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, refer to
“Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tions” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual.I–4X4 SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING
∙ Do not drive beyond the performancecapability of the tires. Accelerating
quickly, sharp steering maneuvers or
sudden braking may cause loss of
control, even with I-4x4 engaged.
∙ For 4–Wheel Drive (4WD) equipped ve- hicles, do not attempt to raise two
wheels off the ground and shif t the
transmission to any drive or reverse
position with the engine running. Do-
ing so may result in drivetrain dam-
age or unexpected vehicle movement
which could result in serious personal
injury or vehicle damage.
INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY INTELLIGENT 4X4 (I-4x4) (if so
equipped)
Starting and driving5-67

∙ Do not attempt to test a 4WDequipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dyna-
mometer (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions
testing) or similar equipment even if
the other two wheels are raised off the
ground. Make sure that you inform
the test facility personnel that your
vehicle is equipped with 4WD before it
is placed on a dynamometer. Using
the wrong test equipment may result
in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result
in serious personal injury or vehicle
damage.
CAUTION
∙ Do not operate the engine on a freeroller when any of the wheels are
raised.
∙ If you use the free roller, rotate four wheels with the same speed without
raising any wheels. ∙ If a 4WD warning message is dis-
played while driving there may be a
malfunction in the 4WD system. Re-
duce the vehicle speed immediately
and have your vehicle checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.
∙ If the 4WD high temperature message is displayed while you are driving, pull
off the road in a safe area, and idle the
engine. The driving mode will change
to 2WD to prevent the 4WD system
from malfunctioning. If the warning
message turns off, you can drive
again.
∙ If the incorrect tire size message is displayed while you are driving, pull
off the road in a safe area with the
engine idling. Check that all tire sizes
are the same, that the tire pressure is
correct and that the tires are not ex-
cessively worn.
∙ If a warning message continues to be displayed af ter the above operations,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
