5-30Starting and driving
— When the vehicle’s travelingdirection does not align with
the lane marker.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres to the windshield in
front of the lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
— When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For exam-
ple, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For exam-
ple, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
Condition A:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then
started, the LDW system may be deacti-
vated automatically, the LDW indicator
will flash and the following message will
appear in the vehicle information display.
. “Not Available: High Camera Temp”
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the LDW system will resume operating
automatically and the LDW indicator will
stop flashing.
Condition B:
The warning function of the LDW system
is not designed to work under the follow-
ing conditions:
. When you operate the lane change
signal and change traveling lanes in
the direction of the signal. (The LDW
system will become operable again
approximately 2 seconds after the
lane change signal is turned off.)
. When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 37 MPH (60 km/h).
Action to take:
After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the LDW system will resume.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the LDW system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically and “Malfunction”
warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display. If the warning
message appears, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle. Place
the ignition switch in the OFF position
and restart the engine. If the warning
message continues to appear, have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

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 may not activate
under the road, weather, and lane
marker conditions described in
this section, it may not activate
every time your vehicle begins to
leave its lane and you will need to
apply corrective steering.
. The I-LI system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37
MPH (60 km/h) or if it cannot
detect lane markers.
. When the I-LI system is operating,
avoid excessive or sudden steer-
ing maneuvers. Otherwise, you
could lose control of the vehicle.
. Do not use the I-LI system under
the following conditions as it may
not function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow. — When driving on winding or
uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal tire conditions (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.
— On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers;
lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; or
lane markers covered with
water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detect-
able. — On roads where there are
sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs. (The I-LI system could
detect these items as lane
markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane marker.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt ad- heres to the windshield in
front of the lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
— When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For exam-
ple, the light directly shines on

ple: when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
. Do not use the I-BSI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function
properly.
— During bad weather. (For ex-
ample: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow,
etc.
— When driving on winding or uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow. — 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 steering
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.

serious injury or death.
.The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system cannot detect all
vehicles or pedestrians under all
conditions.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system does not detect the
following:
— Pedestrians that are small (for
example, children), in a sitting
position, operating toys/ska-
teboards, on scooters or in
wheelchairs, or not in an up-
right standing or walking po-
sition.
— Animals of any size.
— Obstacles (for example, cargo or debris) on the roadway or
roadside.
— Oncoming or crossing vehi- cles.
— Vehicles where the tires are difficult to see or the shape of
the rear of the vehicle is un-
clear or obstructed.
— Parked vehicles.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system has some perfor-
mance limitations. — If a stationary vehicle is in the
vehicle’s path, the system will
not function when the vehicle
approaches the stationary ve-
hicle at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 MPH (80 km/h).
— Pedestrian detection will not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over ap-
proximately 37 MPH (60
km/h) or below approxi-
mately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
. For pedestrians, the AEB with
pedestrian detection system will
not issue the first warning.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may not function
properly or detect a vehicle or
pedestrian ahead in the following
conditions:
— In poor visibility conditions
(such as rain, snow, fog, dust
storms, sand storms, smoke,
and road spray from other
vehicles).
— If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other material is covering the radar
sensor area or camera area of
the windshield. — If strong light (for example,
sunlight or high beams) en-
ters the front camera or a
sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, entering
a tunnel or driving in light-
ning).
— In dark or dimly lit conditions, such as at night or in tunnels,
including cases where your
vehicle’s headlights are off or
dim, or the tail lights of the
vehicle ahead are off.
— When the direction of the camera is misaligned.
— When driving on a steep downhill slope, on roads with
sharp curves, and/or bumpy
or dirt roads.
— If there is interference by other radar sources.
— When your vehicle’s position or movement is changed
quickly or significantly (for
example, lane change, turning
vehicle, abrupt steering, sud-
den acceleration or decelera-
tion).

HEADLIGHTS
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens
of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This is not a malfunction.
If large drops of water collect inside the
lens, it is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Replacing
If LED headlight replacement is required,
it is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

other corrosive materials, check lubrica-
tion frequently.
Lights*:Clean the headlights on a regular
basis. Make sure that the headlights, stop
lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and
other lights are all operating properly and
installed securely. Also check headlight
aim.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When
checking the tires, make sure no wheel
nuts are missing, and check for any loose
wheel nuts. Tighten if necessary.
Tire rotation*: Rotate tires at the speci-
fied interval shown in the maintenance
schedule.
Tires*: Check the pressure with a gauge
often and always prior to long distance
trips. If necessary, adjust the pressure in
all tires, including the spare, to the
pressure specified. Check carefully for
damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components: Replace the
TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve
core and cap when the tires are replaced
due to wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance: If the
vehicle should pull to either side while
driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear,
there may be a need for wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at
normal highway speeds, wheel balancing
may be needed.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the NISSAN Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.
Windshield:
Clean the windshield on a
regular basis. Check the windshield at
least every six months for cracks or other
damage. Have a damaged windshield
repaired by a qualified repair facility. It is
recommended that you have a damaged
windshield repaired by a NISSAN dealer, or
a NISSAN Certified Collision Center. To
locate a collision center in your area, refer
to http://collision.nissanusa.com.
Windshield wiper blades*: Check for
cracks or wear if they do not wipe
properly.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should
be checked on a regular basis, such as
when performing scheduled mainte-
nance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal: Check the pedal for
smooth operation and make sure the
pedal does not catch or require uneven
effort. Keep the floor mat away from the
pedal. Automatic transmission P (Park) me-
chanism:
On a fairly steep hill, check that
your vehicle is held securely with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.
Brake pedal: Check the pedal for smooth
operation. If the brake pedal suddenly
goes down further than normal, the pedal
feels spongy or the vehicle seems to take
longer to stop, have your vehicle checked
immediately. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service. Keep the
floor mat away from the pedal.
Brakes: Check that the brakes do not pull
the vehicle to one side when applied.
Parking brake: Check the parking brake
operation regularly. The vehicle should be
securely held on a fairly steep hill with
only the parking brake applied. If the
parking brake needs adjusted, it is re-
commended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
Seats: Check seat position controls such
as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to
ensure they operate smoothly and that all
latches lock securely in every position.
Check that the head restraints move up
and down smoothly and that the locks (if
so equipped) hold securely in all latched
