Operating the system
When the system detects a different speed
limit, the new speed value is indicated. The
vehicle set speed can be changed to the
indicated speed limit automatically or
manually.
When Manual mode is selected on set-
tings menu (factory default setting):
• To accept the newly indicated speed limit, operate the RES+ switch (in case of speed
limit up) or SET- switch (in case of speed
limit down).
• The Speed Limit Assist indicator (
or) will turn off af ter approximately 10
seconds if the RES+ or SET- switch is not
operated. (The Speed Limit Assist indica-
tor can be turned off immediately by op-
erating the opposite switch from the di-
rection indicated by the Speed Limit
Assist indicator.) The system will not activate if a speed limit
change is not detected.
When Auto mode is selected on the set-
tings menu:
• The indicated speed limit is applied to the
vehicle set speed automatically when on
a limited access freeway as identified in
the navigation map data. Also, if the Pro-
PILOT Assist with Navi-link system is on,
but not set (active), and a new speed limit
is detected, the vehicle set speed is auto-
matically updated.
• The Auto mode may not be available in some regions or on roads other than lim-
ited access freeways. In this case, the sys-
tem operates as the Manual mode.
NOTE:
Auto mode will not function in Hawaii or

ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death: •
The ICC system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.
• The ICC system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the system
on roads with sharp curves or on icy
roads, in heavy rain or in fog.
• As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive
or absentminded driving or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
• When the ICC system automatically
brings the car to a stop, your vehicle
can automatically accelerate if the
vehicle is stopped for less than ap-
proximately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary.

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a ve-
hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the
radar system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and sound-
ing the chime unexpectedly. You will have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.
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 sys-
tem 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 not fastened.
• The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed
of 15 mph (24 km/h). For ProPILOT Assist
with Navi-link equipped vehicles on a lim-
ited access freeway as identified in the
navigation map data, the ICC system
cancels and a warning chime sounds if
your vehicle is at a standstill for more
than approximately 3 seconds and a ve-
hicle is not detected ahead.
• Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC system for approximately 3 minutes or
longer.
• The shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) posi- tion or manual shif t mode.
• The electronic parking brake is applied.
• The VDC system is turned off.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection ap- plies harder braking.
• VDC (including the traction control sys- tem) operates.

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 sys-
tems and prevent a system malfunction,
be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans-parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
• Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment 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.STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death.
• The Steering Assist is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, 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 re-
sponsibility 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 Steer-
ing Assist does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road
conditions. Always drive safely, pay
attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle, and manually control your ve-
hicle appropriately. •
The Steering Assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways or
highways with gentle (moderate)
curves. To avoid risk of an accident,
do not use this system on local or
non-highway roads.
• The Steering Assist only steers the
vehicle to maintain its position 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 ve-
hicle 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.
5-118Starting and driving

•Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the Steering Assist.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
Steering Assist. To avoid serious in-
jury or death, do not rely on the sys-
tem to prevent accidents or to con-
trol the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the Steering
Assist except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.
Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, see “Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)”
(P. 5-102).
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 (HI) speed operation (the Steer-
ing Assist function is disabled af ter the
wiper operates for approximately 10
seconds).

Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
When a curve or strong cross wind exceeds
the capabilities of the Steering Assist and
your vehicle approaches either the lef t or
the right side of the traveling lane, the I-LI
indicator (orange) on the instrument panel
flashes to alert the driver. Then, the I-LI sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes for a
short period of time to help assist the
driver to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane. This action is in addition
to any Steering Assist actions.

Hands on detectionWhen the Steering Assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel
operation.If the steering wheel is not operated or the
driver takes his/her hands off the steering
wheel for a period of time, the warning
O1
appears in the vehicle information display.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel af ter the warning has been dis-
played, an audible alert sounds and the
warning flashes in the vehicle information
display, followed by a quick brake applica-
tion to request the driver to take control of
the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the Pro-
PILOT Assist turns on the hazard flasher
and slows the vehicle to a complete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerating,
or operating the ProPILOT Assist switch.
WARNING
Steering Assist is not a system for
hands-free driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and drive
your vehicle safely. Failure to do so
could cause a collision resulting in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
