2022 NISSAN SENTRA Owners Manual

The cruise control is automatically can-
celed if:
• You depress the brake or clutch pedal (forManual Transmission models) while
pushing the RES+ or SET- switch. The pre-
set speed is deleted from memory.
• The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
• You depress the clutch pedal (for Manual Transmission models), or move the shif t
lever to N (Neutral) (for Continuously Vari-
able Transmission models).
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET— switch.
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you desire, re-
lease the switch.
• Push and release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed increases
by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use
one of the following three methods:
• Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve- hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET— switch and release it.
• Push and hold the SET— switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows to the
desired speed.
• Push and release the SET— switch. Each time you do this, the set speed decreases
by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the RES+ switch. The vehicle re-
turns to the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and di-
rection.
The ICC system uses a radar sensor
OA
located on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the
vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows
the vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The detection range of the sensor is ap-
proximately 390 f t (120 m) ahead.

ICC SYSTEM OPERATION
The ICC system maintains a selected dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of you within
the speed range 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144
km/h) up to the set speed. The set speed
can be selected by the driver between 20 to
90 mph (32 to 144 km/h), based on road
conditions.
The vehicle travels at the set speed when
the road ahead is clear.
The ICC system is designed to maintain a
selected distance from the vehicle in front
of you and can reduce the speed to match
a slower vehicle ahead. The system will de-
celerate the vehicle as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC
system can only apply up to 40% of the
vehicle’s total braking power.
This system should only be used when traf-
fic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re-
main fairly constant or when vehicle
speeds change gradually. If a vehicle
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a
vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may be-
come closer because the ICC system can-
not decelerate the vehicle quickly enough.
If this occurs, the ICC system will sound awarning chime and blink the system dis-
play to notif y the driver to take necessary
action.
For additional information, refer to “Ap-
proach warning” in this section.
The following items are controlled in the
ICC system:
• When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the ICC system maintains the
speed set by the driver. The set speed
range is between approximately 20 and
90 mph (32 and 144 km/h).
• When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the ve-
hicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill within the limi-
tations of the system. The system will
cancel once it judges a standstill with a
warning chime.
• When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved out from its lane of travel, the ICC
system accelerates and maintains ve-
hicle speed up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation to maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or traf-
fic congestion.
Starting and driving5-61

When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system will adjust the speed
to maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle
ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway,
the ICC system will accelerate and main-
tain the speed up to the set speed. Pay
attention to the driving operation to main-
tain control of the vehicle as it accelerates
to the set speed.Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake
pedal when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when us-
ing the ICC system.THE ICC SWITCH
The system is operated by the ICC switch
and four control switches, all mounted on
the steering wheel.
1.
CANCEL switch:
Deactivates the system without erasing
the set speed.
2. RES+ switch:
Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally.

Operating ICC
To turn on the cruise control,quickly push
and release the ICC switch
OA. The ICC sys-
tem ON indicator (white), set distance indi-
cator and set vehicle speed indicator come
on in a standby state for setting. To set cruising speed,
accelerate your ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the SET-
switch and release it. The ICC system set
indicator (green), vehicle ahead detection
indicator, set distance indicator and set ve-
hicle speed indicator
OBwill come on. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.
When the SET- switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the system cannot be
set and the ICC indicators will blink for ap-
proximately 2 seconds:
• When traveling below 20 mph (32 km/h) and a vehicle ahead is not detected • When the shif t lever is not in the D (Drive)
or L (Low) (if so equipped) position
• When the parking brake is applied
• When the brakes are operated by the driver
When the SET- switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the system cannot be
set.
A warning chime will sound and a message
will pop up:
• When the VDC system is off (To use the ICC system, turn on the VDC system. Push
the ICC switch to turn off the ICC system
and reset the ICC switch by pushing the
ICC switch again.)
For additional information about the
VDC system, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” in this section.
• When ABS or VDC is operating
• When a wheel is slipping (To use the ICC system, make sure the wheels are no lon-
ger slipping. Push the ICC switch to turn
off the ICC system, and reset the ICC sys-
tem by pushing the ICC switch again.)

Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing 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 maintain the
driver selected distance.
NOTE:
• The stop lights of the vehicle come on when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
• When the brake operates, a noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the ve-
hicle 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
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the sys-
tem will be canceled. When passing another vehicle,
the set
speed indicator
OBwill flash when the ve-
hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle detect indicator will turn off when the
area ahead of the vehicle is open. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to
the previously set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in the
ICC system, you can depress the accelera-
tor pedal when it is necessary to accelerate
your vehicle rapidly.

How to change the set vehicle
speed
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following methods:
• Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle speed indicator will go out.
• Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed indicator will go out.
• Turn the ICC switch off. The ICC indicators will go out. To reset at a faster cruising speed,
use
one of the following methods:
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET- switch.
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set vehicle speed will increase by approxi-
mately 5 mph (5 km/h for Canada).
• Push, then quickly release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by approximately 1
mph (1 km/h for Canada).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
• Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve- hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET- switch and release it.
• Push and hold the SET- switch. The set vehicle speed will decrease by approxi-
mately 5 mph (5 km/h for Canada).
• Push, then quickly release the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will decrease by approximately 1
mph (1 km/h for Canada).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the RES+ switch. The vehicle will
resume the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 20 mph (32 km/h).
How to change the set distance
to the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traf-
fic conditions.
Each time the distance switch
OAis
pushed, the set distance will change to
long, middle, short and back to long again,
in that sequence.
