SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the I-BSI
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 apply additional paint near the radar
sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
for I-BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-BSI and prevent
a system malfunction, be sure to observe
the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting
the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
the camera lens or remove the screw
located on the camera unit. It is
recommended you contact a NISSAN

The manufacturer is not responsible for
any radio or TV interference caused by
unauthorized modifications to this equip-
ment. Such modifications could void the
user’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-BI
system could result in serious injury
or death.
. The I-BI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dure, is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects
and does not provide full brake
power. When backing out of park-
ing spaces, always use the inside
and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will
move. Never rely solely on the I-
BI system.
. There is a limitation to the detec-
tion capability of the radar or the
sonar. Using the I-BI system un-
der some road, ground, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Al-
ways rely on your own operation
to avoid accidents.
The I-BI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind
the vehicle when the driver is backing out
of a parking space.
JVS0912X
The I-BI system uses radar sensorsinstalled on both sides near the rear
bumper to detect an approaching vehicle
and sonar sensors
to detect objects in
the rear.

INTELLIGENT BACK-UP
INTERVENTION (I-BI) (if so equipped)

5-54Starting and driving
JVS0173X
JVS0698X
The radar sensorsdetect an approach-ing vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft
(15 m) away. The sonar sensors
detect
stationary objects behind the vehicle up
to approximately 4.9 ft (1.5 m). Refer to the
illustration for approximate zone cover-
age areas
.

5-58Starting and driving
.In the case of several vehicles ap-
proaching in a row (Illustration 1) or in
the opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to the I-BI
system after the first vehicle passes
the sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating
there is an object behind the vehicle
has a higher priority than the I-BI
chime (single beep) indicating an ap-
proaching vehicle. If the sonar system
detects an object behind the vehicle
and the I-BI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time,
the following indications are provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side
of the approaching vehicle flashes,
and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears in the center display.
JVS0307X
If an approaching vehicle or close object
behind the vehicle is detected when your
vehicle is backing up, a red frame
will
appear in the center display and the
system will chime three times. Then, the
brakes will be applied momentarily. After
the automatic brake application, the dri-
ver must depress the brake pedal to
maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward before the braking is ap-
plied. However, if you continue to accel-
erate, the system will not engage the
brakes. The I-BI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.

I-BI SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-BI system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordancewith these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.
Always check your surroundings
and turn to check what is behind
you before backing up. .
The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect
every object such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
or child operated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that passing at speeds greater than approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain
situations:
— Illustration a. When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs
the beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration b. When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking
space.
— Illustration c. When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
— Illustration d. When an ap- proaching vehicle turns into
your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration e. When the angle formed by your vehicle and
approaching vehicle is small.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles:

— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on thevehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The sonar sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object close to the bumper
(less than approximately 1 ft
(30 cm))
— Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
. The brake engagement by the I-
BI system is not as effective on a
slope as it is on flat ground. When
on a steep slope the system may
not function properly.
. Do not use the I-BI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function properly.
— When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

HOW TO SELECT THE CRUISE CON-
TROL MODE
Selecting vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode
To choose the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, quickly push and release
the MAIN switch.
Selecting the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the
MAIN switchfor longer than approxi-
mately 1.5 seconds. See “Conventional
(fixed speed) cruise control mode” (P.5-81).
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.
JVS0913X
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.
