CHECKING LIGHTS
With all doors closed, apply the parking
brake, fasten the seat belts and place the
ignition switch in the ON position without
starting the engine. The following lights (if
so equipped) will come on:
,or,,,,,
The following lights (if so equipped) will
come on briefly and then go off:
,or,,,,,,,,
If any light does not come on or operates
in a way other than described, it may
indicate a burned-out bulb and/or a
system malfunction. It is recommended
you have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
Some indicators and warnings are also
displayed on the vehicle information dis-
play between the speedometer and tach-
ometer. (See “Vehicle information display”
(P.2-20).)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking Sys-
tem (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (See “Brake sys-
tem” (P.5-130).)
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system warning light
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. It
turns off after the engine is started.
This light illuminates when the Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB) system is set to
OFF on the center display.
If the light illuminates when the AEB system is ON, it may indicate that the
system is unavailable. See “Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB)” (P.5-98) for
more details.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
check warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the light comes on for 2
seconds. If the light comes on at any
other time, it may indicate the transmis-
sion is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
to check and repair the transmission.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
oil temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic
Transmission (AT) oil temperature is too
high. If the light illuminates while driving,
reduce the vehicle speed as soon as
safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when
the AT oil temperature warning light
is on may damage the AT.

To apply:Fully depress the parking brake
pedal.
To release:
1. Firmly apply the foot brake
.
2. Depress the parking brake pedal
and the parking brake will be released.
3. Before driving, be sure the brake warning light goes out.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
LDW and I-LI systems could result in
serious personal injury or death.
.The LDW and I-LI systems will not
prevent loss of control. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehi-
cle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
. The I-LI system may activate if
you change lanes without first
activating your turn signal or, for
example, if a construction zone
directs traffic to cross an existing
lane marker. If this occurs, you
may need to apply corrective
steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the I-LI system may not
activate under the road, weather,
and lane marker conditions de-
scribed in this section, it may not
activate every time your vehicle
begins to leave its lane and you
will need to apply corrective
steering. .
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
— warns the driver with a warning
light and chime that the vehicle is
beginning to leave the driving lane.
. Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) sys-
tem
— warns the driver with a warning
light and chime, and helps assist
the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane by
applying the brakes to the left or
right wheels individually (for a short
period of time).

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, a beep
will sound and the I-LI system will be
canceled automatically. The I-LI ON in-
dicator light (green)
will blink, and the I-LI system cannot be activated:
.
When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
. When the VDC system is turned off.
. When the SNOW mode switch is
turned on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models).
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, turn off the I-LI system. Push the
dynamic driver assistance switch
again
to turn the I-LI system back on.
Condition B:
LDW system: If the vehicle is parked in
direct sunlight under high temperature
conditions (over approximately 104°F
(40°C)) and then the LDW system is turned
on, the LDW system may be deactivated
automatically, and the warning systems
ON indicator light
on the switch will
blink.
I-LI system: If the vehicle is parked in
direct sunlight under high temperature
conditions (over approximately 104°F
(40°C)) and then the I-LI system is turned
on, the I-LI system will be turned off
automatically, a beep will sound and the
I-LI ON indicator light (green)
will blink.
The LDW and I-LI systems are not avail-
able until the conditions no longer exist.

Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the LDW system will resume auto-
matically.
For the I-LI system, push the dynamic
driver assistance switch
again to turn
the I-LI system back on.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
LDW system: When the LDW system
malfunctions, it will cancel automatically,
and the LDW indicator light (orange) will
illuminate.
I-LI system: When the I-LI system mal-
functions, it will be turned off automati-
cally, a beep will sound, and the LDW
indicator light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place
the vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn
the engine off and restart the engine. If
the LDW indicator light (orange) con-
tinues to illuminate, have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitfor the LDW/I-LI
systems is located above the inside
mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/
I-LI systems and prevent a system mal-
function, 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
dealer if the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the BSW system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.
The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be
able to detect and activate BSW
when certain objects are present
such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone
is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed
to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/snow build-up on
the vehicle
— Dirt build-up on the vehicle
. 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 to detect other
vehicles.
