2023 NISSAN PATHFINDER sensor

–When the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist is offset from the vehicle’s
forward path.
– If the speed difference between
the two vehicles is small.
– The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable;
for example, due to transporting
luggage, pushing a stroller, wear-
ing bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories, or being
in a unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).
– There is poor contrast of a person
to the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
– For approximately 15 seconds af-
ter starting the engine.
– If the vehicle ahead has a unique
or unusual shape, extremely low
or high clearance heights, or un-
usual cargo loading or is narrow
(for example, a motorcycle).
– When the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist is located near a traffic
sign, a reflective area (for ex-
ample, water on road), or is in a
shadow. –
When multiple pedestrians or cy-
clists are grouped together.
– When the view of the pedestrian
or cyclist is obscured by a vehicle
or other object.
– While towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
• The system performance may be de-
graded in the following conditions:
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
– The vehicle is driven on a slope.
– Excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the
cargo area of your vehicle.
• The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s (radar and
camera) functionality, within certain
limitations. The system may not de-
tect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow or
stickers, for example. In these cases,
the system may not be able to warn
the driver properly. Be sure that you
check, clean and clear sensor areas
regularly. •
In some road and traffic conditions,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may unexpectedly apply par-
tial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may operate when a pattern,
object, shadow or lights are detected
that are similar to the outline of ve-
hicles, pedestrians or cyclists, or if
they are the same size and position
as a vehicle or motorcycle’s tail
lights.
• The system may keep operating
when the vehicle ahead is turning
right or lef t.
• The system may operate when your
vehicle is approaching and passing a
vehicle ahead.
• Depending on the road shape
(curved road, entrance and exit of the
curve, winding road, lane regulation,
under construction, etc.), the system
may operate temporarily for the on-
coming vehicle in front of your
vehicle.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
In the following conditions, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system warning light
blinks and the system will be turned off
automatically:
• The radar sensor picks up interferencefrom another radar source.
• The camera area of the windshield is misted or frozen.
• Strong light is shining from the front.
• The cabin temperature is over approxi- mately 104°F (40°C) in direct sunlight.
• The camera area of the windshield glass is continuously covered with dirt, etc.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will resume automatically.
NOTE:
When the inside of the windshield on the
camera area is misted or frozen, it will
take a period of time to remove it af ter
the A/C turns on. If dirt appears on this
area, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.

Condition B:
When there is inclement weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.) blocking the front radar sensor,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will be canceled, the chime will sound and
the “Forward Driving Aids temporarily dis-
abled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s
Manual” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, the warning message will
no longer be available in the vehicle infor-
mation display. If the “Forward Driving Aids
temporarily disabled Front Sensor Blocked
See Owner’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 C:
When the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system is off, the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection brake will not operate. In this case
only visible and audible warning operates.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
OFF warning light (orange) will illuminate.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle
OB. The camera is located on
the upper side of the windshield
OA.
To keep the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system operating properly, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
• Always keep the sensor areas of the front bumper and windshield clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensors (e.g., bumper,
windshield). • Do not cover or attach stickers, or install
any accessory near the sensors. This
could block sensor signals and/or cause
failure or malfunction.
• Do not attach metallic objects near the radar sensor (brush guard, etc.). This
could cause failure or malfunction.
• 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
detection capability.
• 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 I-FCW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The I-FCW system can help warn the
driver before a collision occurs but
will not avoid a collision. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
The I-FCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle
ahead in the same lane. The I-FCW system uses a radar sensor
O1
located on the front of the vehicle to mea-
sure the distance to the vehicle ahead in
the same lane.

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the I-FCW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• The I-FCW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions. •
The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles
in the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
• (Illustration A) The I-FCW system
does not function when a vehicle
ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as a
motorcycle. •
The radar sensor may not detect a
vehicle ahead in the following condi-
tions:
– Snow or heavy rain
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar
sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel
– Towing a trailer

•(Illustration B) When the vehicle
ahead is being towed.
• (Illustration C) When the distance to
the vehicle ahead is too close, the
beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
• (Illustration D) When driving on a
steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.
• The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s functionality,
within certain limitations. The sys-
tem may not detect some forms of
obstruction 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.
Starting and driving5-157

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
I-FCW system to work inappropriately.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 sys-
tem may warn you by blinking the ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You
will have to manually control the proper
distance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.
