ON (Normal operating position)
This position turns on the ignition system
and electrical accessories.
ON has a battery saver feature that will
place the ignition switch in the OFF posi-
tion, if the vehicle is not running, af ter some
time under the following conditions:∙ All doors are closed.
∙ The shif t lever is in P (Park).
The battery saver feature will be canceled if
any of the following occur: ∙ Any door is opened.
∙ The shif t lever is moved out of the P (Park) position.
∙ The ignition switch changes position.
WARNING
When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed and you are approaching the
vehicle ahead, the ICC system will nei-
ther control the brake nor warn the
driver with the chime and display. The
driver must manually control the ve-
hicle speed to maintain a safe distance
to the vehicle ahead. Failure to do so
could result in severe personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
When you accelerate by depressing the
accelerator pedal or decelerate by push-
ing the SET- switch and the vehicle trav-
els faster than the speed set by the
driver, the set speed vehicle indicator will
blink.
How to change the set distance
to the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
Ais
pushed, the set distance will change to
long, middle, short and back to long again
in that sequence.
– An ultrasonic wave source, such asanother vehicle’s sonar, is near the
vehicle.
∙ Once the automatic brake control op- erates, it does not operate again if the
vehicle approaches the same
obstacle.
∙ The automatic brake control can only operate for a short period of time.
Therefore, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.
∙ In the following situations, the RAB system may not operate properly or
may not function sufficiently:
– The vehicle is driven in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
– The vehicle’s posture is changed (e.g., when driving over a bump).
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
– The vehicle is turned sharply by turning the steering wheel fully.
– Snow chains are used. – Wheels or tires other than NISSAN
recommended are used.
– The brakes are cold at low ambient temperatures or immediately af ter
driving has started.
– The braking force becomes poor due to wet brakes af ter driving
through a puddle or washing the
vehicle.
∙ Turn the RAB system off in the follow- ing conditions to prevent the occur-
rence of an unexpected accident re-
sulting from sudden system
operation:
– The vehicle is towed.
– The vehicle is carried on a flatbed truck.
– The vehicle is on the chassis dynamometer.
– The vehicle drives on an uneven road surface. – Suspension parts other than those
designated as Genuine NISSAN
parts are used. (If the vehicle
height or the vehicle body inclina-
tion is changed, the system may
not detect an obstacle correctly.)
∙ Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB system
warning light will illuminate, and the “Sys-
tem fault” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
Action to take
If the warning light illuminates, park the ve-
hicle in a safe location, turn the engine off,
and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the RAB sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
