structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next
to long walls), the system may display the
“Forward Driving Aids temporarily dis-
abled Front Sensor blocked” message.
Action to take:
When the above driving conditions no
longer exist, turn the system back on.ICC system malfunction
If the ICC system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, and the speed control status
warning (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
If the warning illuminates, stop the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart
the engine and set the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the ICC system or
the warning stays on, it may be a
malfunction. Although the normal driving
can be continued, the ICC system should
be inspected. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
NOTE:
If the ICC system is temporarily unavail-
able, the conventional cruise control
mode may still be used. For additional
information, see “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” (P.5-118).
ICC sensor maintenance
The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating prop-
erly, be sure to observe the following:
.Always keep the sensor area clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the sensor.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the sensor. 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.
Before customizing or restoring the front
bumper, it is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer.
The camera sensor is located above the
inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the
systems and prevent a system malfunc-
tion, be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.

STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
Steering Assist could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The Steering Assist is not a re-
placement for proper driving pro-
cedures and is not designed to
correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving. The
Steering Assist will not always
steer the vehicle to keep it in the
lane. It is not designed to prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the
traveling lane, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times.
. As there is a performance limit to
the Steering Assist’s capability,
never rely solely on the system.
The Steering Assist does not
function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. Al-
ways drive safely, pay attention
to the operation of the vehicle,
and manually control your vehicle
appropriately. .
The Steering Assist is intended
for use on well-developed high-
ways with gentle (moderate)
curves. To avoid risk of an acci-
dent, do not use this system on
local or non-highway roads.
. The Steering Assist only steers
the vehicle to maintain its posi-
tion in the center of a lane. The
vehicle will not steer to avoid
objects in the road in front of
the vehicle or to avoid a vehicle
moving into your lane.
. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all
times. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel when driving.
Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the Steering
Assist. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly be-
fore using the Steering Assist. To
avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent
accidents or to control the vehi-
cle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the Steering Assist except in appropriate road
and traffic conditions.
Steering Assist operation
Steering Assist helps the driver keep the
vehicle near the center of the lane when
both right and left lane markers are
detected. Steering Assist only operates
when combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, see “Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC)” (P.5-97).
The Steering Assist can be activated
when the following conditions are met:
.
The ICC system is activated.
. Lane markers on both sides are clearly
detected.
. A vehicle ahead is detected (when the
vehicle is driven at speeds under 37
MPH (60 km/h)).
. The driver grips the steering wheel.
. The vehicle is driven at the center of
the lane.
. The turn signals are not operated.
. The windshield wiper is not operated
in the high speed position (the Steer-
ing Assist function is disabled after the
wiper operates for approximately 10
seconds in the high speed position).
To enable or disable the Steering Assist,

system on again.
Steering Assist malfunction
When the system malfunctions, it turns
off automatically. The Steering Assist
status warning (orange) illuminates. A
chime may sound depending on the
situation.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, push
the park button to shift to the P (Park)
position, turn the engine off, restart the
engine, resume driving, and set the ICC
system again. If the warning (orange)
continues to illuminate, the Steering As-
sist is malfunctioning. Although the vehi-
cle is still drivable under normal
conditions, have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Steering Assist maintenance
The camera is located above the inside
mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the
system and prevent a system malfunc-
tion, be sure to observe the following:.
Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting
the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
the camera lens or remove the screw
located on the camera unit.
If the camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see “Common
troubleshooting guide” (P.5-39).
CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or Steer-
ing Assist in the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode.
This mode allows driving at a speed
between 20 to 90 MPH (30 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 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.

the ProPILOT Assist switch off when
not using the ICC system.

5-150Starting and driving
.Recirculating the cool air in thecabin when the A/C is on reduces
cooling load.
4. Drive at economical speeds and dis- tances.
.Observing the speed limit and notexceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h)
(where legally allowed) can improve
fuel efficiency due to reduced aero-
dynamic drag.
.Maintaining a safe following dis-tance behind other vehicles re-
duces unnecessary braking.
.Safely monitoring traffic to antici- pate changes in speed permits
reduced braking and smooth accel-
eration changes.
.Select a gear range suitable to roadconditions.
5. Use cruise control.
.Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady
speed.
.Cruise control is particularly effec-tive in providing fuel savings when
driving on flat terrains.
6. Plan for the shortest route.
.Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save
time. 7. Avoid idling.
.Shutting off your engine when safe
for stops exceeding 30-60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.
.Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruis-
ing speed through the toll and
avoid stopping and starting.
9. Winter warm up.
.Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
.Vehicles typically need no morethan 30 seconds of idling at start-
up to effectively circulate the en-
gine oil before driving.
.Your vehicle will reach its ideal
operating temperature more
quickly while driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your vehicle cool.
.Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade when-
ever possible.
.When entering a hot vehicle, open- ing the windows will help to reduce
the inside temperature faster, re-
sulting in reduced demand on your
A/C system. .
Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
. Keep the tires inflated to the correct
pressure. Low tire pressure increases
tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
. Use the recommended viscosity en-
gine oil. (See “Engine oil and oil filter
recommendation” (P.10-6).)
INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY

TIRE EQUIPMENT
SUMMER tires have a tread designed to
provide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance of
these tires will be substantially reduced in
snowy and icy conditions. If you operate
your vehicle on snowy or icy roads,
NISSAN recommends the use of MUD &
SNOW or ALL SEASON tires on all four
wheels. It is recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer for the tire type, size, speed
rating and availability information.
For additional traction on icy roads,
studded tires may be used. However,
some U.S. states and Canadian provinces
prohibit their use. Check local, state and
provincial laws before installing studded
tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of
studded snow tires, on wet or dry
surfaces, may be poorer than that of
non-studded snow tires.
Tire chains may be used. For details, see
“Tire chains” (P.8-32) of this manual.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) model
If you install snow tires, they must also be
the same size, brand, construction and
tread pattern on all four wheels.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following
items be carried in the vehicle during
winter:
.A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to
remove ice and snow from the win-
dows and wiper blades.
. A sturdy, flat board to be placed under
the jack to give it firm support.
. A shovel to dig the vehicle out of
snow-drifts.
. Extra window washer fluid to refill the
reservoir tank.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
.Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing
rain), very cold snow or ice can be
slick and very hard to drive on.
The vehicle will have much less
traction or “grip” under these
conditions. Try to avoid driving
on wet ice until the road is salted
or sanded. .
Whatever the condition, drive
with caution. Accelerate and slow
down with care. If accelerating or
downshifting too fast, the drive
wheels will lose even more trac-
tion.
. Allow more stopping distance
under these conditions. Braking
should be started sooner than on
dry pavement.
. Allow greater following distances
on slippery roads.
. Watch for slippery spots (glare
ice). These may appear on an
otherwise clear road in shaded
areas. If a patch of ice is seen
ahead, brake before reaching it.
Try not to brake while on the ice,
and avoid any sudden steering
maneuvers.
. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
. Snow can trap dangerous ex-
haust gases under your vehicle.
Keep snow clear of the exhaust
pipe and from around your vehi-
cle.
Starting and driving5-173

.Have your vehicle serviced more often
than at intervals specified in the
recommended maintenance schedule
shown in the "9. Maintenance and
schedules" section.
. When making a turn, your trailer
wheels will be closer to the inside of
the turn than your vehicle wheels. To
compensate for this, make a larger
than normal turning radius during the
turn.
. Crosswinds and rough roads will ad-
versely affect vehicle/trailer handling,
possibly causing vehicle sway. When
being passed by larger vehicles, be
prepared for possible changes in
crosswinds that could affect vehicle
handling.
Do the following if the trailer begins to
sway:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal to allow the vehicle to coast
and steer as straight ahead as the
road conditions allow. This combina-
tion will help stabilize the vehicle.
.Do not correct trailer sway bysteering or applying the brakes.
2. When the trailer sway stops, gently apply the brakes and pull to the side
of the road in a safe area. 3. Try to rearrange the trailer load so it is
balanced as described earlier in this
section.
. Be careful when passing other vehi-
cles. Passing while towing a trailer
requires considerably more distance
than normal passing. Remember the
length of the trailer must also pass the
other vehicle before you can safely
change lanes.
. Downshift the transmission to a lower
gear for engine braking when driving
down steep or long hills. This will help
slow the vehicle without applying the
brakes.
. Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This could
cause the brakes to overheat, result-
ing in reduced braking efficiency.
. Increase your following distance to
allow for greater stopping distances
while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops
and brake gradually.
. NISSAN recommends that the cruise
control not be used while towing a
trailer.
. While towing a trailer, do not use the
following systems (if so equipped):
— Lane Departure Warning (LDW) sys-
tem — Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
system
— Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system
— Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) system
— Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) sys- tem
— ProPILOT Assist system (Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), ProPILOT As-
sist with Navi-link and Steering
Assist)
— Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection
system
— Intelligent Forward Collision Warn- ing (I-FCW) system
— Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) sys- tem
. Some states or provinces have speci-
fic regulations and speed limits for
vehicles that are towing trailers. Obey
the local speed limits.
. Check your hitch, trailer wiring har-
ness connections, and trailer wheel
lug nuts after 50 miles (80 km) of
travel and at every break.
. When launching a boat, do not allow
the water level to go over the exhaust
tail pipe or rear bumper.
. Make sure you disconnect the trailer
lights before backing the trailer into
