the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using
the ICC system when it is not
recommended in this section.
The radar sensor will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary and slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the vehicle ahead. There-
fore, if the sensor cannot detect the
reflection from the vehicle ahead, the
ICC system may not maintain the se-
lected distance.
The following are some conditions in
which the sensor cannot detect the
signals:
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
area of your vehicle
. When your vehicle is towing a trailer,
etc. The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitation of the system. When the
sensor is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the ICC system may not detect them.
In these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode may not cancel
and may not be able to maintain the
selected following distance from the ve-
hicle ahead. Be sure to check and clean
the sensor regularly.

The detection zone of the ICC sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the
detection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance detection mode to maintain the
selected distance from the vehicle ahead.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the
detection zone due to its position within
the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may
not be detected in the same lane ahead if
they are traveling offset from the center-
line of the lane. A vehicle that is entering
the lane ahead may not be detected until
the vehicle has completely moved into
the lane.If this occurs, the ICC system
may warn you by blinking the system
indicator and sounding the chime. The
driver may have to manually control the proper distance away from vehicle tra-
veling ahead.

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as
winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or
roads which are under construction, the
ICC sensor may detect vehicles in a
different lane, or may temporarily not
detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate
or accelerate the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or traveling position in the
lane, etc.) or vehicle condition.If this
occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You
will have to manually control the proper
distance away from the vehicle travel- ing ahead.

ICC system warning (yellow)ICC switchesMAIN (ON·OFF) switch
System temporarily unavailable
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the ICC
system is automatically canceled. The
chime will sound and the system will not
be able to be set..
When the VDC is turned off
. When the VDC operates
. When a tire slips
. When the SNOW mode switch is
pushed on
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models)
. 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 MAIN switch
. Turn the ICC system
back on to use the system.
Condition B:
Under the following conditions, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the
ICC system is automatically canceled.
The chime will sound and the “Forward
Driving Aids temporarily disabled Front
Sensor blocked See Owner’s Manual”
warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
. When the radar sensor area of the
front bumper is covered with dirt or is
obstructed
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 warning message continues
to be displayed, have the ICC system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
.When driving on roads with limited
road structures or buildings (for ex-
ample, long bridges, deserts, snow
fields, driving next to long walls)
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the ICC system will resume auto-
matically.
JVS0968X
Condition C:
When the ICC system is not operating
properly, the chime sounds and the ICC
system warning (yellow) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off,
restart the engine, resume driving and set
the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or
the indicator stays on, it may indicate
that the ICC system is malfunctioning.
Although the vehicle is still driveable
under normal conditions, have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

System maintenance
The sensor for the ICC systemis
located below the front bumper.
To keep the ICC system operating prop-
erly, be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the sensor area of the
front bumper clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the sensor.
. Do not cover or attach stickers or
similar objects on the front bumper
near the sensor area. This could cause
failure or malfunction.
. Do not attach metallic objects near
the sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This could cause failure or malfunc-
tion.
. Do not alter, remove or paint the front
bumper. It is recommended you con-
tact a NISSAN dealer before customiz-
ing or restoring the front bumper.

Model: ARS4–A
IC: 4135A-ARS4A
FCC ID: OAYARS4A
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
licence exempt RSS standard(s). Opera-
tion is subject to the following two con-
ditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful inter- ference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accel-
erator pedal.
WARNING
.In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, a warning
chime does not sound to warn
you if you are too close to the
vehicle ahead, as neither the pre-
sence of the vehicle ahead nor
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is
detected.
. Pay special attention to the dis-
tance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you or a
collision could occur.
. Always confirm the setting in the
ICC system display.
. Do not use the conventional
(fixed speed) cruise control mode
when driving under the following
conditions.
— when it is not possible to keep
the vehicle at a set speed

— in heavy traffic or in trafficthat 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 acci-
dent.

Operating conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To turn on the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode, push and
hold the MAIN switch
for longer than
about 1.5 seconds.
When pushing the MAIN switch on, the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode display and the MAIN switch indi-
cator are displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. After you hold the MAIN
switch on for longer than about 1.5
seconds, the ICC system display goes
out. The MAIN switch indicator stays lit.
You can now set your desired cruising
speed. Pushing the MAIN switch again will turn the system completely off.
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
OFF position, the system is also automa-
tically turned off.
To use the ICC system again, quickly push
and release the MAIN switch (vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode) or push
and hold it (conventional cruise control
mode) again to turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging
cruise control, make sure to turn
the MAIN switch off when not using
the ICC system.
