RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
The RCTA system can help alert the driver
of an approaching vehicle when the
driver is backing out of a parking space.
When the shift position is in R (Reverse)
and the vehicle speed is less than ap-
proximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the RCTA
system is operational.
If the radar detects an approaching
vehicle from either side, the system
chimes (once) and the side indicator light
flashes on the side the vehicle is ap-
proaching from.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the
system will be deactivated automatically.
The “Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”
warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
The systems are not available until the
conditions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or
dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system will also stop working.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the system will resume automati-
cally.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the RCTA system malfunctions, it
will turn off automatically. The system
malfunction warning message will appear
in the vehicle information display.NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system will also stop working.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn
the engine off and restart the engine. If
the message continues to appear, have
the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the RCTA
system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or
dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstruct-
ing the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or

CAUTION
On Manual Transmission (MT) model,
do not shift to the N (Neutral) posi-
tion without depressing the clutch
pedal when the cruise control is
operated. Should this occur, depress
the clutch pedal and turn the Cruise
ON/OFF switch off immediately. Fail-
ure to do so may cause engine
damage.
PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CON-
TROL
. If the cruise control system malfunc-
tions, it will cancel automatically. The
CRUISE indicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display will then blink to warn
the driver.
. If the CRUISE indicator blinks, turn the
Cruise ON/OFF switch off and have
the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. The CRUISE indicator may blink when
the Cruise ON/OFF switch is turned
ON while pushing the RES/+, SET/-, or
CANCEL switch. To properly set the
cruise control system, perform the
following procedures.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at
speeds above 25 MPH (40 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control will automatically be
canceled if the vehicle slows down more
than approximately 8 MPH (13 km/h)
below the set speed.
Moving the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position will cancel the cruise control.
Turning on cruise control
Push the Cruise ON/OFF switch. The
CRUISE indicator in the vehicle informa-
tion display will appear.
Setting cruising speed
1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
2. Push the SET/- switch and release it.
3. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
The vehicle will maintain the set speed.
Passing another vehicle:
Depress the accelerator pedal to accel-
erate. After releasing the accelerator
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.
In such cases, drive without the cruise
control.
Resetting to slower speed:
Use any one of the following methods to
reset to a slower speed.
. Lightly tap the foot brake pedal. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
push and release the SET/- switch.
. Push and hold the SET/- switch. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
release the SET- switch.

HOW TO SELECT THE CRUISE CON-
TROL MODE

To choose the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, quickly push and release
the Cruise ON/OFF switch.
Selecting the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the
Cruise ON/OFF switchfor longer than
approximately 1.5 seconds. See “Conven-
tional (fixed speed) cruise control mode” (P.5-82).
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically
maintains a selected distance from the
vehicle traveling in front of you according
to that vehicle’s speed (up to the set
speed), or at the set speed when the road
ahead is clear.

JVS1041X
The system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.
If the radar sensor
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 automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to
approximately 40% of vehicle braking
power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode operation
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is designed to maintain a selected
distance and reduce the speed to match
the slower vehicle ahead. The system will
decelerate the vehicle as necessary and if
the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill. How-
ever, the ICC system can only apply up to
approximately 40% of the vehicle’s total
braking power. This system should only
be used when traffic conditions allow
vehicle speeds to remain fairly constant
or when vehicle speeds change gradually.
If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane
ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead
rapidly decelerates, the distance between
vehicles may become closer because the
ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC
system will sound a warning chime and
blink the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed is below
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead. The system
will also disengage when the vehicle goes
above the maximum set speed.
See “Approach warning” (P.5-76). The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
.
When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode maintains the speed set
by the driver. The set speed range is
the following speed.
— 20 and 90 MPH (32 and 144 km/h)
. When there is a vehicle traveling
ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by
driver, from the vehicle ahead. The
adjusting speed range is up to the set
speed. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of the
system. The system will cancel once it
judges a standstill with a warning
chime.
. When the vehicle traveling ahead has
moved out from its lane of travel, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode accelerates and maintains ve-
hicle speed up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation
to maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or
traffic congestion.
