AEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the AEB system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• The AEB system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles
in the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Crossing vehicles.
• The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicle’s path, the AEB
system will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds over ap-
proximately 50 mph (80 km/h). •
The radar sensor may not detect a
vehicle ahead in the following
conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar
sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g.,
motorcycle).
– When driving on a steep downhill
slope or roads with sharp curves.
• In some road or traffic conditions, the
AEB system may unexpectedly apply
partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the
accelerator pedal to override the
system.
• Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces. •
The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s functionality,
within certain limitations. The sys-
tem may not detect some forms of
obstructions of the sensor area such
as ice, snow, stickers, etc. In these
cases, the system may not be able to
warn the driver properly. Be sure that
you check, clean and clear the sensor
area regularly.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A
When the radar sensor picks up interfer-
ence from another radar source, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the
AEB system is automatically turned off.
The AEB system warning light (orange) will
illuminate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the AEB system will resume automatically.
Condition B
When there is inclement weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.) blocking the front radar sensor,
the AEB system will automatically be can-
celed, the chime will sound and the “For-
ward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled
Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual”
warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.

Action to take:
When the above conditions are no longer
present, the warning message will no lon-
ger be available in the vehicle information
display. If the “Forward Driving Aids Tempo-
rarily Disabled Front Sensor Blocked See
Owner’s Manual” warning message contin-
ues to be displayed, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Condition C
When the radar sensor of the front
bumper/emblem is covered with mud, dirt,
snow, ice, etc., or is obstructed, the AEB sys-
tem will automatically be 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 infor-
mation display.

Starting and driving5-95

Action to take:
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shif t lever
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/emblem and restart the en-
gine. If the “Forward Driving Aids Temporar-
ily Disabled Front Sensor Blocked See Own-
er’s Manual” warning message continues
to be displayed, have the system checked.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Condition D
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snowfields, driving next to
long walls), the system may illuminate the
system warning light and display the “For-
ward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled
Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual”
warning message.
Action to take:
When the above driving conditions no lon-
ger exist, turn the system back on.
NOTE:
If the AEB system stops working, the
I-FCW system will also stop working.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the AEB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, the AEB warning light (orange) will
illuminate and the warning message [Mal-
function] will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display (if so equipped).Action to take:
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe location, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the
warning light continues to illuminate, have
the AEB system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensorOAis located on the front of the
vehicle.
To keep the system operating properly, be
sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the sensor area of the front bumper/emblem 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 malfunction.
• Do not alter, remove or paint the front bumper. Before customizing or restoring
the front bumper, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for the
driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely.
It cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driving
techniques. •
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather and road conditions.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of
a forward collision with the vehicle ahead in
the traveling lane or with a pedestrian
ahead in the traveling lane.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
uses a radar sensor located on the front of
the vehicle
OBto measure the distance to
the vehicle ahead in the same lane. For
pedestrians, the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system uses a camera installed
behind the windshield
OAin addition to the
radar sensor.
