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
Starting and driving5-77

5-78Starting and driving
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 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 display the "Unavailable:
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-

vice.

System maintenance
The sensor for the ICC systemis
located on the front of the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating prop-
erly, be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the sensor area clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the sensor.
. Do not cover or attach stickers or
similar objects near the sensor area.
This could cause failure or malfunc-
tion.
. Do not attach metallic objects near
the sensor area (brush guard, etc.).
This could cause failure or malfunc- tion.
. Do not alter, remove or paint the front
bumper. Before customizing or restor-
ing the front bumper, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.

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.JVS0999XType A
