I-BI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the I-BI
system operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings.
If the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake
for a moment when the vehicle is moving
backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure. If
the driver’s foot is on the accelerator

pedal, the system pushes the accelerator
upward before applying the brake. If you
continue to accelerate, the system will
not engage the brake.

When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position, the indicator on the “P”
key

If the radar detects an approaching
vehicle from the side, the system chimes
(once), the side indicator light on the side
the vehicle is approaching from flashes
and a yellow rectangular frame
ap-
pears on the touch screen display.

. In the case of several vehicles ap-
proaching in a row (Illustration 1) or in
the opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to the I-BI
system after the first vehicle passes
the sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating
there is an object behind the vehicle
has a higher priority than the I-BI
chime (single beep) indicating an ap-
proaching vehicle. If the sonar system
detects an object behind the vehicle
and the I-BI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time,
the following indications are provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side
of the approaching vehicle flashes,
and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears in the touch screen display.

If an approaching vehicle or close object
behind the vehicle is detected when your
vehicle is backing up, a red frame
will
appear in the touch screen display and
the system will chime three times. Then,
the brakes will be applied momentarily.
After the automatic brake application, the
driver must depress the brake pedal to
maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward before the braking is ap-
plied. However, if you continue to accel-
erate, the system will not engage the
brakes.
The I-BI system does not operate if the object is very close to the bumper.

WAF0781XI-BI OFF indicator

The I-BI system can be turned off tem-
porarily by touching the “P” keyon the
touch screen display. The indicator on the
“P” key turns off and the I-BI OFF indicator
appears on the vehicle information dis-
play.
When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position again, the I-BI system is
turned on.
NOTE:
. When the “P” key is touched, the
indicator light on the key will turn off
and the I-BI system will turn off
temporarily. The Moving Object De-
tection (MOD), the Rear Automatic
Braking (RAB) and the sonar sys-
tems will also be turned off at the
same time.
. When the sonar and MOD systems
are turned off on the settings menu
in the touch screen display, the “P”
key will disappear.
To enable or disable the I-BI system, use
the vehicle information display. See
“How to enable/disable the I-BI system”
(P.5-69).

selection for the I-BI system. When
the RAB system is also turned off.

I-BI SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-BI system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.
Always check your surroundings
and turn to check what is behind
you before backing up.

.The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect
every object such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
or child operated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that passing at speeds greater than approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain
situations:
— Illustration a. When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs
the beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration b. When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking
space.
— Illustration c. When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
— Illustration d. When an ap- proaching vehicle turns into
your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration e. When the angle formed by your vehicle and
approaching vehicle is small.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles: — Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The sonar sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object close to the bumper
(less than approximately 1 ft
(30 cm))
— Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
. The brake engagement by the I-
BI system is not as effective on a
slope as it is on flat ground. When
on a steep slope the system may
not function properly.
. Do not use the I-BI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function properly.
— When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
. When towing a trailer or other
vehicle, turn the I-BI system off to
prevent the occurrence of an un-
expected accident resulting from
sudden system operation. (See “I-
BI system operation” (P.5-65).)
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

Vehicle information display
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When any of the following messages
appear on the vehicle information display
, a chime will sound and the I-BI system
will be turned off automatically.
. “Unavailable: High Accelerator Tem-
perature”:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sun-
light under high temperature condi-
tions (over approximately 104°F
(40°C)).
. “Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction”:
When side radar blockage is detected. Turn off the I-BI system and turn it on
again when the above conditions no
longer exist.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the I-BI system malfunctions, it will turn
off automatically, a chime will sound and
“Malfunction” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display
.
Action to take
Stop the vehicle in a safe location and
place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position. Turn the engine off and restart
the engine. If the warning message con-
tinues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
WAF0721X
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the I-BI
system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or
dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstruct-
ing the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or
