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.

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.

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.

When passing another vehicle,the set
speed indicatorwill flash when the
vehicle speed exceeds the set speed. The
vehicle detect indicator will turn off when
the area ahead of the vehicle is open.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return 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.
How to change the set vehicle
speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of
these methods:
. Push the CANCEL switch. The set
vehicle speed indicator will go out.
. Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
. Turn the CRUISE ON/OFF switch off.
The ICC indicators will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET/- switch.
. Push and hold the RES/+ switch. The
set vehicle speed will increase by
approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h).
. Push, then quickly release the RES/+
switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by approximately 1
MPH (1 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed,
push the SET/- switch and release it.
. Push and hold the SET/- switch. The
set vehicle speed will decrease by
approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h). .
Push, then quickly release the SET/-
switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will decrease by approximately
1 MPH (1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the RES/+ switch. The vehicle will
resume the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 20 MPH (32
km/h).

5-76Starting and driving
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

5-98Starting and driving
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 sounds a warning chime and
blinks the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.
The ICC system cancels and a warning
chime sounds if the speed is below
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead.
The ICC system operates as follows:
.When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the ICC system maintains the
speed set by the driver. The set speed
range is between approximately 20
and 90 MPH (32 and 144 km/h).
. When there is a vehicle traveling
ahead, the ICC system adjusts the
speed to maintain the distance, se-
lected by the driver, from the vehicle
ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill. Once your vehicle stops,
the ICC system keeps the vehicle
stopped.
. When your vehicle is stopped for less
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead
begins to move, your vehicle will start
moving again automatically. .
When your vehicle is at a standstill for
more than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal. The ICC system
starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
. When the vehicle traveling ahead
moves to a different traveling lane,
the ICC system accelerates and main-
tains vehicle 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.
SSD0254
When driving on the freeway at a set
speed and approaching a slower traveling
vehicle ahead, the ICC system adjusts the
speed to maintain the distance, selected
by the driver, from the vehicle ahead. If
the vehicle ahead changes lanes or exits
the freeway, the ICC system accelerates
and maintains the speed up to the set
speed. Pay attention to the driving opera-
tion to maintain control of the vehicle as
it accelerates to the set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
occurs, you will have to manually control
the vehicle speed.
Normally when controlling the distance to
