5-20Starting and driving
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the RAB
system could result in serious injury or
death. •
The RAB system is a supplemental
aid to the driver. It is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures.
Always use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction you
will move before and while backing
up. Never rely solely on the RAB sys-
tem. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, and be in con-
trol of the vehicle at all times.
• There is a limitation to the RAB sys-
tem capability. The RAB system is not
effective in all situations.
The RAB system can assist the driver when
the vehicle is backing up and approaching
objects directly behind the vehicle.
The RAB system detects obstacles behind
the vehicle using the parking sensors
O1
located on the rear bumper.
NOTE:
You can temporarily cancel the sonar
function in the vehicle, but the RAB sys-
tem will continue to operate. For addi-
tional information, please refer to “Rear
Sonar System (RSS)” in this section.
RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
1RAB system warning light and RAB sys-
tem warning indicator
2Center display
3Steering-wheel-mounted controls (lef t
side)
4Drive Systems OFF Switch (if so
equipped)
When the shif t 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 (if so
equipped) and the system will chime three
times. The system will then automatically
apply the brakes. Af ter the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure.
NOTE:
• The brake 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 malfunction.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues
the second visual (flashing) (red and white)
in the vehicle information display (if so
equipped) and an audible warning. If the
driver releases the accelerator pedal, then
the system applies partial braking. If the
risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
AEB with Pedestrian Detection system ap-
plies harder braking automatically.
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 Pedestrian
Detection system is operating properly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any 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 sys-
tem may help the driver avoid a forward
collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences if a collision should be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system will function
later or will not function.

When the VDC system operates, theindicator light in the instrument panel
flashes so note the following:
• The road may be slippery or the systemmay determine some action is required
to help keep the vehicle on the steered
path.
• You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or vibration from
under the hood. This is normal and indi-
cates that the VDC system is working
properly.
• Adjust your speed and driving to the road conditions.
For additional information, refer to “Slip in-
dicator light” and ”Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) OFF indicator light” in the ”Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
indicator light comes on in the instru-
ment panel. The VDC system automatically
turns off when these indicator lights are on.
The VDC OFF switch, or the vehicle infor-
mation display, is used to turn off the VDC
system. The
indicator light and the
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) sys-
tem warning light illuminate to indicate the
VDC system is off. When the VDC OFF switch, or the vehicle
information display, is used to turn off the
system, the VDC system still operates to
prevent one drive wheel from slipping by
transferring power to a non-slipping drive
wheel. The
indicator light flashes if this
occurs. All other VDC functions are off and
the
indicator light will not flash.
The VDC system is automatically reset to
on when the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position then back to the ON position.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic fea-
ture that tests the system each time you
start the engine and move the vehicle for-
ward or in reverse at a slow speed. When
the self-test occurs, you may hear a clunk
noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and is not an indica-
tion of a malfunction.
indicator light may flash
or illuminate.
• If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not
NISSAN recommended or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, the VDC sys-
tem may not operate properly and
the
indicator light may
illuminate.
