System set display with vehicle aheadSystem set display without vehicle 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.
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 system
then controls the vehicle speed based on the speed of the vehicle ahead to main-
tain the driver selected distance.
NOTE:
.
The stoplights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the ICC system.
. When the brake operates, a noise
may be heard and/or vibration may
be felt. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on. The ICC system will also display the
set speed and selected distance.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode 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 system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open
roads with light traffic. It is not
advisable to use the system in
city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt auto-
matically 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 ve-
hicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of
the system. The system will can-
cel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To pre-
vent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake
pedal.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the ICC system may
not be able to maintain the se-
lected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some cir-
cumstances.
. 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 where the traffic is
heavy or there are 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 system 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
. Do not use the ICC system if you
are towing a trailer. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control

5-98Starting and driving
AEB with pedestrian detection system
operates at speeds between 6 – 37 MPH
(10 – 60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB with pedestrian detection system
will firstly provide the warning to the
driver by flashing the vehicle ahead
detection indicator (yellow) in the vehicle
information display and providing an
audible alert. In addition, the system
applies partial braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the AEB
with pedestrian detection system detects
that there is still the possibility of a
forward collision, the system will auto-
matically increase the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with pedestrian detection system issues
the second visual (flashing) (red) and
audible warning. Then the system applies
partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes immi-
nent, the AEB with pedestrian detection
system applies harder braking automati-
cally.
While the AEB with pedestrian detection
system is operating, you may hear the
sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with pedes-
trian detection system is operating prop-erly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the AEB with
pedestrian detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well
as driving and roadway conditions, the
system may help the driver avoid a
forward collision or may help mitigate
the consequences of a collision should
one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB
with pedestrian detection system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under
the following conditions:
.
When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle,
pedestrian detected ahead.
If the AEB with pedestrian detection
system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
When the brake pedal is depressed while the brake is applied by the system, you
may feel the pedal effort is changed and
may hear a sound and vibration noise.
This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. In addition, the braking force
can be increased by adding the pedal
effort.

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 MPH (15 km/h), the RAB
system operates.
If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is
detected when your vehicle is backing up,
the RAB system warning indicator will
flash in the vehicle information display, a
red frame will appear in the touch screen
display (models with the Intelligent
Around View® Monitor system), and the
system will chime three times. The system
will then automatically apply the brakes.
After the automatic brake application, the
driver must depress the brake pedal to
maintain brake pressure.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the RAB system.
. When the brakes operate, a noise
may be heard. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
. When the “P” key is touched, the
indicator light on the key will turn off
and the the Rear Automatic Braking
(RAB) system will turn off tempora-
rily. The Moving Object Detection
(MOD) (if so equipped), the Intelligent
Back-up Intervention (I-BI) (if so
equipped) and the sonar systems will also be turned off at the same
time.
. When the sonar and MOD systems is
turned off on the settings menu in
the touch screen display, the “P” key
will disappear.
To enable or disable the RAB system,
use the vehicle information display. See
“Turning the RAB system ON/OFF” (P.5-
119).

— The vehicle is driving on asteep hill.
— 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:
— The vehicle is driven in bad
weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
— The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
— The vehicle’s posture is chan- ged (e.g., when driving over a
bump).
— The vehicle is driven on a slippery road. — The vehicle is turned sharply
by turning the steering wheel
fully.
— Snow chains are used.
— Wheels or tires other than NISSAN recommended are
used.
— The brakes are cold at low ambient temperatures or im-
mediately after driving has
started.
— The braking force becomes poor due to wet brakes after
driving through a puddle or
washing the vehicle.
. Turn the RAB system off in the
following conditions to prevent
the occurrence of an unexpected
accident resulting from sudden
system operation:
— The vehicle is towed.
— The vehicle is carried on a
flatbed truck.
— The vehicle is on the chassis dynamometer.
— The vehicle drives on an un- even road surface. — Suspension parts other than
those designated as genuine
parts are used. (If the vehicle
height or the vehicle body
inclination is changed, the
system may not detect an
obstacle correctly.)
. When towing a trailer or other
vehicle, turn the RAB system off
to prevent the occurrence of an
unexpected accident resulting
from sudden system operation.
(See “RAB system operation” (P.5-
118).)
. Excessive noise (e.g., audio sys-
tem volume, an open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.

WARNING
.Never rely solely on the hill start
assist system to prevent the ve-
hicle from moving backward on a
hill. Always drive carefully and
attentively. Depress the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped
on a steep hill. Be especially care-
ful when stopped on a hill on
frozen or muddy roads. Failure
to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards may result in a loss of
control of the vehicle and possi-
ble serious injury or death.
. The hill start assist system is not
designed to hold the vehicle at a
standstill on a hill. Depress the
brake pedal when the vehicle is
stopped on a steep hill. Failure to
do so may cause the vehicle to
roll backwards and may result in
a collision or serious personal
injury.
. The hill start assist system may
not prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing backwards on a hill under all
load or road conditions. Always
be prepared to depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards. Failure to do so may result in a collision or
serious personal injury.
The hill start assist system automatically
keeps the brakes applied to help prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards in the
time it takes the driver to release the
brake pedal and apply the accelerator
when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.
The hill start assist system will operate
automatically under the following condi-
tions:
. The transmission is shifted to a for-
ward or reverse gear.
. The vehicle is stopped completely on a
hill by applying the brake.
The maximum holding time is 2 seconds.
After 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to
roll back and the hill start assist system
will stop operating completely.
The hill start assist system will not
operate when the transmission is shifted
to the N (Neutral) or P (Park) position or
on a flat and level road.
When the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light illuminates in the meter, the
hill start assist system will not operate.
(See “Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders” (P.2-10).)

The sonar system sounds a tone to
inform the driver of obstacles near the
bumper.
When the sonar system is turned on, the
sonar view will automatically appear in
the touch screen display when the cam-
era is activated.
WARNING
.The sonar system is a conveni-
ence but it is not a substitute for
proper parking.
. The driver is always responsible
for safety during parking and other maneuvers. Always look
around and check that it is safe
to do so before parking.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions of the sonar system as
contained in this section. The
colors of the sonar indicator in-
dicates different distances to the
object.
. Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may
affect the function of the system;
this may include reduced perfor-
