∙ The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-up on the vehicle
∙ Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install accesso-
ries or apply additional paint near the
radar sensors. These conditions may
reduce the ability of the radar to de-
tect other vehicles
∙ Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, open vehicle window) will in-
terfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard. NOTE:
In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the oppo-
site direction (Illustration 2), a chime may
not be sounded by the RCTA system af-
ter the first vehicle passes the sensors.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the sys-
tem will be deactivated automatically. The
“Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”
warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
The systems are not available until the
conditions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system (if so equipped) will also
stop working.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Starting and driving5-49

NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system (if so equipped) will also
stop working.
Malfunction
When the RCTA system malfunctions, it will
turn off automatically. The system mal-
function warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
Action to take
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear
bumper. Always keep the area near the ra-
dar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent 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 that
you visit a NISSAN dealer if the area around
the radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
∙ If the cruise control system malfunc- tions, it cancels automatically.
∙ To properly set the cruise control sys- tem, use the following procedures.
LSD3131
CRUISE CONTROL (if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-51

WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driv-
ing under the following conditions:
∙ When it is not possible to keep thevehicle 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.
CAUTION
On manual transmission models, do not
shif t into N (Neutral) without depress-
ing the clutch pedal when the cruise
control is set. Should this occur, depress
the clutch pedal and turn the CRUISE
ON/OFF switch off immediately. Failure
to do so may cause engine damage.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
CRUISE ON/OFF switch. The CRUISE indica-
tor light or
indicator in the instrument
panel comes on.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the SET–
switch and release it. The SET indicator
light or
indicator in the instrument
panel comes on. Take your foot off the ac-
celerator pedal. Your vehicle maintains the
set speed.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep
hills. If this happens, drive without the
cruise control. To cancel the preset speed,
use one of the
following three methods:
∙ Push the CANCEL switch; the CRUISE indicator light or
indicator in the
instrument panel goes out.
∙ Tap the brake pedal; the CRUISE indica- tor light or
indicator goes out.
∙ Push the CRUISE ON/OFF switch. The CRUISE indicator light or
indicator
in the instrument panel goes out.
The cruise control is automatically can-
celed and the CRUISE indicator light
or
indicator in the instrument panel
goes out if:
∙ You depress the brake pedal while pushing the RES+ or SET– switch. The
preset speed is deleted from memory.
∙ The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
∙ You move the shif t lever to N (Neutral).
5-52Starting and driving

To reset at a faster cruising speed,use
one of the following three methods:
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET– switch.
∙ Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you desire,
release the switch.
∙ Push and release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
∙ Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the SET– switch and release it.
∙ Push and hold the SET– switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows to
the desired speed.
∙ Push and release the SET– switch. Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). To resume the preset speed,
push and
release the RES+ switch. The vehicle re-
turns to the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

AICC switch
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assistthe driver and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ICC system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system.
To avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent ac-
cidents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ICC system except in ap-
propriate road and traffic conditions.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)
(if so equipped)
5-54Starting and driving

∙ In the conventional (fixed speed)cruise control mode, a warning chime
will not sound to warn you if you are
too close to the vehicle ahead. Pay
special attention to the distance be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.
The ICC system maintains a selected dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of you within
the speed range of 0 to 90 mph (0 to
144 km/h) up to the set speed. The set
speed can be selected by the driver be-
tween 20 to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the
road ahead is clear.
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes: ∙ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: For maintaining a selected dis-
tance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front of you up to the preset
speed
∙ Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode: For cruising at a preset
speed
Push the ICC switch
Ato choose the
cruise control mode between the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode and the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode.
Once a control mode is activated, it cannot
be changed to the other cruise control
mode. To change the mode, push the ICC
switch
Aonce to turn the system off. Then
push the ICC switch
Aagain to turn the
system back on and select the desired
cruise control mode.
Always confirm the setting in the ICC sys-
tem display.
For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, refer to “Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode” in this section.
For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, refer to “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” in this section.
