2019 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT brake sensor

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
and set distance indicator blink.
. You judge it necessary to maintain a
safe distance.
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
flash 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, narrow, or hilly roads
or when the vehicle is 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 conditions
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven
with some damage).
ICC system 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 ICC system is primarily in-
tended for use on straight, dry,
open roads with light traffic. It is
not advisable to use the ICC
system in city traffic or congested
areas.
. The ICC system will not adapt
automatically 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 vehicle
speed by depressing the brake
pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in or-
der to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
. When the ICC system automati-
cally brings the vehicle to a stop,
your vehicle can automatically
accelerate if the vehicle is
stopped for less than approxi-
Starting and driving5-101

5-102Starting and driving
mately 3 seconds. Be prepared to
stop your vehicle if necessary.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
ICC system may not be able to
maintain the selected distance
between vehicles (following dis-
tance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.
. 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 with heavy, high-
speed traffic or 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 bumper around the
distance 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. Always stay alert and
avoid using the ICC system where
not recommended in this warn-
ing section.
The ICC system will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary or slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
The following are some conditions in
which the radar sensor cannot properly
detect a vehicle ahead and the system
may not operate properly: .
When the sensor detection is reduced
(conditions such as rain, snow, fog,
dust storms, sandstorms, and road
spray from other vehicles)
. Driving on a steep downhill slope or
roads with sharp curves
. Driving on a bumpy road surface, such
as an uneven dirt road
. If dirt, ice, snow or other material is
covering the radar sensor area
. A complicated-shaped vehicle such as
a car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/
trailer is near the vehicle ahead.
. Interference by other radar sources
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or cargo area
of your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the radar sensor’s operation
within the limitations of the system
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the
detection zone for the ICC system 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

5-104Starting and driving
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 traveling
ahead.
Automatic cancellation
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:
.

Hands on detection
When the Steering assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel op-
eration.
If the steering wheel is not operated or
the driver takes his/her hands off the
steering wheel for a period of time, thewarning (1) appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played, an audible alert sounds and the
warning flashes in the vehicle information
display, followed by a quick brake appli-
cation to request the driver to takecontrol of the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the
ProPILOT assist turns on the hazard
flasher and slows the vehicle to a com-
plete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerat-
ing, or operating the ProPILOT assist
switch.
WARNING
Steering assist is not a system for a
hands-free driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and
drive your vehicle safely. Failure to
do so could cause a collision result-
ing in serious personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of
firmly grips) the steering wheel, the
steering torque sensor may not detect
the driver’s hand(s) on the steering
wheel and a sequence of warnings
may occur. When the driver holds and
operates the steering wheel again, the
warnings turn off.

Condition B
In the following conditions, the “Unavail-
able: Front Radar Obstruction” warning

brake pedal is depressed, the
function may not operate or the
start of the operation may be
delayed. The RAB system may
not operate or may not perform
sufficiently due to vehicle condi-
tions, driving conditions, the traf-
fic environment, the weather,
road surface conditions, etc. Do
not wait for the system to oper-
ate. Operate the brake pedal by
yourself as soon as necessary.
. If it is necessary to override RAB
operation, strongly press the ac-
celerator pedal.
. Always check your surroundings
and turn to check what is behind
you before and while backing up.
The RAB system detects station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The RAB system does not detect
the following objects:
— Moving objects
— Low objects
— Narrow objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Objects close to the bumper
(less than approximately 1 ft
[30 cm]) — Objects that suddenly appear
— Thin objects such as rope,
wire, chain, etc.
. The RAB system may not operate
for the following obstacles:
— Obstacles located high off the
ground
— Obstacles in a position offset from your vehicle
— Obstacles, such as spongy materials or snow, that have
soft outer surfaces and can
easily absorb a sound wave
. The RAB system may not operate
in the following conditions:
— There is rain, snow, ice, dirt,
etc., attached to the sonar
sensors.
— A loud sound is heard in the area around the vehicle.
— The surface of the obstacle is diagonal to the rear of the
vehicle.
. The RAB system may uninten-
tionally operate in the following
conditions:
— There is overgrown grass in
the area around the vehicle. — There is a structure (e.g., a
wall, toll gate equipment, a
narrow tunnel, a parking lot
gate) near the side of the
vehicle.
— There are bumps, protrusions, or manhole covers on the
road surface.
— The vehicle drives through a draped flag or a curtain.
— There is an accumulation of snow or ice behind the vehi-
cle.
— An ultrasonic wave source, such as another vehicle’s so-
nar, is near the vehicle.
. Once the automatic brake control
operates, it does not operate
again if the vehicle approaches
the same obstacle.
. The automatic brake control can
only operate for a short period of
time. Therefore, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
. In the following situations, the
RAB system may not operate
properly or may not function
sufficiently:

BRAKE ASSIST
When the force applied to the brake pedal
exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is
activated generating greater braking
force than a conventional brake booster
even with light pedal force.
WARNING
The Brake Assist is only an aid to
assist braking operation and is not a
collision warning or avoidance de-
vice. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
WARNING
.The Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) is a sophisticated device,
but it cannot prevent accidents
resulting from careless or dan-
gerous driving techniques. It can
help maintain vehicle control dur-
ing braking on slippery surfaces.
Remember that stopping dis-
tances on slippery surfaces will
be longer than on normal sur- faces even with ABS. Stopping
distances may also be longer on
rough, gravel or snow covered
roads, or if you are using tire
chains. Always maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle in front
of you. Ultimately, the driver is
responsible for safety.
. Tire type and condition may also
affect braking effectiveness.
— When replacing tires, install
the specified size of tires on
all four wheels.
— When installing a spare tire, make sure that it is the proper
size and type as specified on
the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label. See “Tire and Load-
ing Information label” (P.10-
10) of this manual.
— For detailed information, see “Wheels and tires” (P.8-29) of
this manual.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) con-
trols the brakes so the wheels do not lock
during hard braking or when braking on
slippery surfaces. The system detects the
rotation speed at each wheel and varies
the brake fluid pressure to prevent each
wheel from locking and sliding. By pre- venting each wheel from locking, the
system helps the driver maintain steering
control and helps to minimize swerving
and spinning on slippery surfaces.
Using the system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.
Depress the brake pedal with firm steady
pressure, but do not pump the brakes.
The ABS will operate to prevent the
wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle
to avoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing
so may result in increased stopping
distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, elec-
tric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a
computer. The computer has a built-in
diagnostic feature that tests the system
each time you start the engine and move
the vehicle at a low speed in forward or
reverse. When the self-test occurs, you
may hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a
pulsation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. If the computer senses a malfunc-
