ICC system temporarily unavailable
The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to
maintain the selected following distance
from the vehicle ahead.
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the ICC
system is automatically canceled. A chime
will sound and the system will not be able
to be set:
.Any door is open.
. The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
. The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (25 km/h). For
ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
equipped vehicles on a limited access
freeway as identified in the navigation
map data, the ICC system cancels and
a warning chime sounds if your vehi-
cle is at a standstill for more than
approximately 3 seconds and a vehi-
cle is not detected ahead.
. Your vehicle has been stopped by the
ICC system for approximately 3 min-
utes or longer.
. The shift lever is moved out of the D
(Drive) position or into the manual
shift mode. .
The electronic parking brake is ap-
plied.
. The VDC system is turned off.
. The AEB applies harder braking
. VDC (including the traction control
system) operates.
. The SNOW mode or OFF-ROAD mode
is selected (AWD models).
. A wheel slips.
. When the front radar is impaired due
to dirt or an other obstruction block-
ing the radar sensor.
. 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 ProPILOT Assist switch. Turn the
ProPILOT Assist system back on to use
the system.
NOTE:
When the ICC system is canceled under
any of the following conditions at a
standstill, the electronic parking brake
is automatically activated:
. Any door is open.
. The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
. Your vehicle has been stopped by
the ICC system for approximately 3
minutes or longer. .
The shift lever is moved out of the D
(Drive) position or into the manual
shift mode.
. The VDC system is turned off.
. When the front radar is impaired due
to dirt or an other obstruction block-
ing the radar sensor.
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted.
Condition B:
When there is inclement weather (rain,
fog, snow, etc.) blocking the front radar
sensor, the ICC system will automatically
be canceled, the chime will sound and the
“Forward Driving Aids temporarily dis-
abled Front Sensor blocked” warning
message will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
Action to take:
When the above condition is no longer
present, the warning message will no
longer be available in the vehicle informa-
tion display and the system will operate
normally. If the warning message con-
tinues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Condition C:
When the radar sensor on the front of the
vehicle is covered with dirt or is ob-
tions (for example, tire wear,
abnormal tire pressure, instal-
lation of a spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels)
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake or
suspension parts
— When an object such as a sticker or cargo obstructs the
camera
— When excessively heavy bag- gage is loaded in the rear seat
or luggage area of your vehi-
cle
— When the vehicle load capa- city is exceeded
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle
. Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and
the beep may not be heard.
. For the ProPILOT Assist system to
operate properly, the windshield
in front of the camera must be
clean. Replace worn wiper blades.
The correct size wiper blades
must be used to help make sure
the windshield is kept clean. Only
use Genuine NISSAN wiper blades,
or equivalent wiper blades, that are specifically designed for use
on your vehicle model and model
year. It is recommended that you
visit your NISSAN dealer for the
correct parts for your vehicle.
Steering Assist temporary standby
Automatic standby due to driving op-
eration:
When the driver activates the turn signal,
the Steering Assist is temporarily placed
in a standby mode. (The Steering Assist
restarts automatically when the operat-
ing conditions are met again.)
Automatic standby:
In the following cases, “Not Available
Front Camera Obstructed” warning mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information
display, along with the chime, and the
Steering Assist is placed in a temporary
standby mode. (The Steering Assist re-
starts automatically when the operating
conditions are met again.)
.
When lane markers on both sides are
no longer detected
. When a vehicle ahead is no longer
detected under approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h) NOTE:
For ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
equipped vehicles on a limited access
freeway as identified in the navigation
map data, the Steering Assist system
may continue to operate with visible
lane markers on the both sides, even
when the vehicle speed is below ap-
proximately 37 MPH (60 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead.
Steering Assist cancel
Under the following conditions, the Steer-
ing Assist cancels, and the Steering Assist
status indicator and the Steering Assist
indicator turn off:
.
When unusual lane markers appear in
the traveling lane or when the lane
marker cannot be correctly detected
for some time due to certain condi-
tions (for example, a snow rut, the
reflection of light on a rainy day, the
presence of several unclear lane mar-
kers)
. When the windshield wiper operates
in the high speed operation (the
Steering Assist is disabled when the
wiper operates for more than approxi-
mately 10 seconds)

.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).)
