2021 NISSAN SENTRA engine

TURNING THE I-FCW SYSTEM
ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the
I-FCW system ON or OFF.
1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display.
Use the
button to select “Driver As-
sistance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Emergency Brake” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Front” and press the OK button to turn the system on or off.
When the I-FCW system is turned off, the
AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
warning light illuminates.
NOTE:
• The I-FCW system will be automatically turned on when the engine is re-
started.
• The I-FCW system is integrated into the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system.
There is not a separate selection in the
vehicle information display for the
I-FCW system. When the AEB with Pe-
destrian Detection system is turned
off, the I-FCW system is also turned off.

Action to take:
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shif t 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
“Unavailable: Front Radar Obstruction”
warning message continues to be dis-
played, have the system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
Condition C
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snowfields, driving next to
long walls), the system may illuminate the
system warning light and display the “Un-
available: Front Radar Obstruction” mes-
sage.
Action to take:
When the above driving conditions no lon-
ger exist, turn the system back on.
NOTE:
If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem stops working, the I-FCW system will
also stop working.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the I-FCW system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system warning light (orange) will illumi-
nate and the warning message [Malfunc-
tion] will appear in the vehicle information
display.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe location, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the warn-
ing light continues to illuminate, have the
I-FCW system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensorO1is located on the front of the
vehicle.
To keep the system operating properly, 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 malfunction.
• 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.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.
1.Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake
Pedal Application
• Avoid rapid starts and stops
• Use smooth, gentle accelerator and brake application whenever possible
• Maintain constant speed while com- muting and coast whenever possible
2. Maintain Constant Speed
• Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops
• Synchronizing your speed with traffic lights allows you to reduce your num-
ber of stops
• Maintaining a steady speed can mini- mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency
3. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher
Vehicle Speeds
• Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load
• Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag • Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and
Distances
• Observing the speed limit and not ex- ceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag
• Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces unnec-
essary braking
• Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced
braking and smooth acceleration
changes
• Select a gear range suitable to road conditions
5. Use Cruise Control
• Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady speed
• Cruise control is particularly effective 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 cruising
speed through the toll and avoid stop-
ping and starting
9. Winter Warm Up
• Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy
• Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to ef-
fectively circulate the engine oil before
driving
• Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat- ing temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
• Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever pos-
sible
• When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system
FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS
5-110Starting and driving

11.ECO Mode
• The ECO mode helps to enhance the fuel economy by controlling the en-
gine and Continuously Variable Trans-
mission (if so equipped) operation au-
tomatically to avoid rapid
acceleration. • Keep your engine tuned up.
• Follow the recommended scheduled
maintenance.
• Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres- sure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
• Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Im- proper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, refer to “En-
gine oil and oil filter recommendations” in
the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.

WARNING
• Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They may
ignite and cause a fire. •
Safe parking procedures require that
both the parking brake be set and the
transmission placed in P (Park) for
Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) models or in an appropriate
gear for manual transmission (M/T)
models. Failure to do so could cause
the vehicle to move unexpectedly or
roll away and result in an accident.
Make sure the shif t lever has been
pushed as far forward as it can go
and cannot be moved without de-
pressing the foot brake pedal.
• Never leave the engine running while
the vehicle is unattended. •
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls or
make the vehicle move. Unattended
children could become involved in
serious accidents.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. M/T models
Place the shif t lever in the R (Reverse)
position. When parking on an uphill
grade, place the shif t lever in 1st gear.
CVT models
Move the shif t lever into the P (Park) po-
sition.
