.“Not available: Poor Road Conditions”:
— When the VDC (including the trac-
tion control system) is operating
— When a wheel is slipping (To use the ICC system, make sure the wheels
are no longer slipping. Push the
MAIN switch to turn off the ICC, and
reset the ICC system by pushing
the MAIN switch again.)
WAF0308X
System set display with vehicle aheadSystem set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC
system maintains the set vehicle speed,
similar to standard cruise control, as long
as no vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the
vehicle by controlling the throttle and
applying the brakes to match the speed
of a slower vehicle ahead. The system
then controls the vehicle speed based on the speed of the vehicle ahead to main-
tain the driver selected distance.
NOTE:
.
The stoplights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the ICC system.
. When the brake operates, a noise
may be heard and/or vibration may
be felt. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on. The ICC system will also display the
set speed and selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected

.The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle
speed. The higher the vehicle speed,
the longer the distance.
. If the engine is stopped, the set
distance becomes “long”. (Each time
the engine is started, the initial setting
becomes “long”.)Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that
vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the
system warns the driver with the chime
and ICC system display. Decelerate by
depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
.
The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection and set
distance indicator blink.
The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short dis-
tance between vehicles. Some examples
are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance be-
tween vehicles is not changing
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling
faster and the distance between ve-
hicles is increasing
. When a vehicle cuts in near your
vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
. Your vehicle approaches other vehi-
cles that are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may
sound and the system display may
blink when the radar sensor detects
objects on the side of the vehicle or on
the side of the road. This may cause the
ICC system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle. The radar sensor may de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding roads, narrow roads,

ICC system warning (yellow)ICC switchesMAIN (ON·OFF) switch
System temporarily unavailable
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the ICC
system is automatically canceled. The
chime will sound and the system will not
be able to be set..
When the VDC is turned off
. When the VDC operates
. When a tire slips
. When the SNOW mode switch is
pushed on
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models)
. 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 MAIN switch
. Turn the ICC system
back on to use the system.
Condition B:
Under the following conditions, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the
ICC system is automatically canceled.
The chime will sound and the “Forward
Driving Aids temporarily disabled Front
Sensor blocked See Owner’s Manual”
warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
. When the radar sensor area of the
front bumper is covered with dirt or is
obstructed
Action to take:
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever
Page 403 of 604

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 warning message continues
to be displayed, have the ICC system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
.When driving on roads with limited
road structures or buildings (for ex-
ample, long bridges, deserts, snow
fields, driving next to long walls)
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the ICC system will resume auto-
matically.
JVS0968X
Condition C:
When the ICC system is not operating
properly, the chime sounds and the ICC
system warning (yellow) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off,
restart the engine, resume driving and set
the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or
the indicator stays on, it may indicate
that the ICC system is malfunctioning.
Although the vehicle is still driveable
under normal conditions, have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

System maintenance
The sensor for the ICC systemis
located below the front bumper.
To keep the ICC system operating prop-
erly, 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 malfunc-
tion.
. Do not alter, remove or paint the front
bumper. It is recommended you con-
tact a NISSAN dealer before customiz-
ing or restoring the front bumper.

tion is subject to the following two con-
ditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful inter- ference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may

CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 MPH (40 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.)
Page 405 of 604
— in very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in an acci-
dent.

Operating conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To turn on the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode, push and
hold the MAIN switch
for longer than
about 1.5 seconds.
When pushing the MAIN switch on, the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode display and the MAIN switch indi-
cator are displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. After you hold the MAIN
switch on for longer than about 1.5
seconds, the ICC system display goes
out. The MAIN switch indicator stays lit.
You can now set your desired cruising
speed. Pushing the MAIN switch again will turn the system completely off.
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
OFF position, the system is also automa-
tically turned off.
To use the ICC system again, quickly push
and release the MAIN switch (vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode) or push
and hold it (conventional cruise control
mode) again to turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging
cruise control, make sure to turn
the MAIN switch off when not using
the ICC system.
