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. .
Quickly push and release the SET/-
switch. This will reduce the vehicle
speed by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
Resetting to faster speed:
Use any one of the following methods to
reset to a faster speed.
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
push and release the SET/- switch.
. Push and hold the RES/+switch. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
release the RES/+ switch.
. Quickly push and release the RES/+
switch. This will increase the vehicle
speed by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
Resuming at preset speed:
Push and release the RES/+ switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set
cruising speed when the vehicle speed is
over 25 MPH (40 km/h).
Cancelling cruising speed

a vehicle ahead, the system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle
according to the speed of the vehicle
ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly ac-
celerate your vehicle when acceleration is
required for a lane change. Depress the
brake pedal when deceleration is required
to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when
using the ICC system.
WAF0057X
System set display with no vehicle detected ahead
No vehicle detected 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.
WAF0058X
System set display with vehicle ahead
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 ICC system
then controls the vehicle speed based on
the 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 is applied by the
system, a noise may be heard. This is
not a malfunction.

When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indi-
cator and the speed control status in-
dicator (distance control mode)
illuminates (solid green
).
Vehicle ahead stops:
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to
stop, your vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC
system automatically applies the brakes
to keep the vehicle stopped. When your
vehicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Press
to start” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display.
NOTE:
When your vehicle stops for less than 3
seconds, your vehicle will automatically
follow the vehicle as it accelerates from
a stop.
Vehicle ahead accelerates:
When your vehicle is stopped 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.
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 and speed control status indicator
(maintain speed control mode) illumi-
nates (green outline
).
The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the set speed, but you can depress the
accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate.
When a vehicle is no longer detected and
your vehicle is traveling under approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h), the ICC system
automatically cancels.
WAF0059X
When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicatorflashes when the
vehicle speed exceeds the set speed.
The vehicle ahead detection indicator
turns off when the area ahead of the
vehicle is open. When the pedal is re-
leased, the vehicle returns to the pre-
viously 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.
5-82Starting and driving
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-
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
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:
.Any door is open.
. The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
. The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h).
. Your vehicle has been stopped by the
ICC system for approximately 3 min-
utes or longer.
. The shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
position or manual shift mode.
. The electronic parking brake is ap-
plied.
. The VDC system is turned off.
. The AEB applies harder braking
. VDC (including the traction control
system) operates.
. A wheel slips. .
When distance measurement be-
comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor.
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted.
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the system off using
the ProPILOT Assist switch. Turn the
ProPILOT Assist system back on to use
the system.
NOTE:
When the ICC system is canceled under
the following conditions at a standstill,
the electronic parking brake is automa-
tically activated:
. Any door is open.
. The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
. Your vehicle has been stopped by
the ICC system for approximately 3
minutes or longer.
. The shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
position or manual shift mode.
. The VDC system is turned off.
. When distance measurement be-
comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor.
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted. Condition B:
When the radar sensor of the front
bumper is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed, the ICC system will automati-
cally be canceled.
The chime will sound and the “Unavail-
able: Front Radar Obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
Action to take:
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever
in the P (Park) position, and turn the
engine off. When the radar signal is
temporarily interrupted, clean the sensor
area of the front bumper and restart the
engine. If the “Unavailable: Front Radar
Obstruction” warning message continues
to be displayed, have the system checked.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Condition C:
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next
to long walls), the system may illuminate
the system warning light and display the
“Unavailable: Front Radar Obstruction”
message.

Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
When a curve or strong cross wind
exceeds the capabilities of the Steering
Assist and your vehicle approaches either
the left or the right side of the traveling
lane, a warning chime sounds and the I-LI
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel flashes to alert the driver. Then, the
I-LI system automatically applies the
brakes for a short period of time to help
assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane. This
action is in addition to any Steering Assist
actions. For more information, see “Intel-
ligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)” (P.5-40).
WAO0002X
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.
