SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear
bumper. Always keep the area near the ra-
dar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors. It is recommended that
you consult a NISSAN dealer if the area
around the radar sensors is damaged due
to a collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
1. RES+ switch
2. SET- switch
3. CANCEL switch
4. ON/OFF switch• If the cruise control system malfunctions,
it cancels automatically. The
indica-
tor illuminates in the vehicle information
display then blinks to warn the driver. For
additional information, see “Vehicle infor-
mation display – 7 inch (18 cm) Type A”
(P. 2-23) or “Vehicle information display –
12.3 inch (31 cm) Type B” (P. 2-48).
• If the
indicator blinks, push the
cruise control ON/OFF switch off and
have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
• The
indicator may blink when the
cruise control ON/OFF switch is pushed
ON while pushing the RES+, SET-, or CAN-
CEL switch. To properly set the cruise
control system, use the following
procedures.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driv-
ing under the following conditions:
• When it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed.
• In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies
in speed.
• On winding or hilly roads. •
On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.).
• In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
cruise control ON/OFF switch on. The
indicator (white) in the vehicle information
display will illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the SET-
switch and release it. The
indicator
(green) in the vehicle information display
will illuminate. Take your foot off the accel-
erator pedal. Your vehicle maintains the set
speed.
• To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed.

• The vehicle may not maintain the setspeed when going up or down steep hills.
If this happens, drive without the cruise
control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods:
• Push the CANCEL switch; the
indica-
tor (green) in the vehicle information dis-
play goes out.
• Tap the brake pedal; the
indicator
(green) goes out.
• Push the cruise control ON/OFF switch off. The
indicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display go out.
The cruise control is automatically can-
celed and the
indicator (green) in the
vehicle information display goes out if:
• You depress the brake pedal while push- ing the RES+ or SET- switch. The preset
speed is deleted from memory.
• The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
• You move the shif t lever to N (Neutral). 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).
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ProPI-
LOT Assist system could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving
system. Within the limits of its capa-
bilities, as described in this manual, it
helps the driver with certain driving
activities.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is not a
replacement for proper driving pro-
cedures and is not designed to cor-
rect careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving. ProPILOT Assist will
not always steer the vehicle to keep it
in the lane. The ProPILOT Assist sys-
tem is not designed to prevent loss of
control. 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.
PROPILOT ASSIST (if so equipped)
5-88Starting and driving

•There are limitations to the ProPILOT
Assist system capability. The ProPI-
LOT Assist system does not function
in all driving, traffic, weather, and
road conditions. 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.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is only an
aid to assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance
device.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is for
highway use only and is not intended
for city driving. Failure to apply the
brakes or steer the vehicle when nec-
essary may result in a serious
accident.
• Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.
• Never take your hands off the steer-
ing wheel when driving. Always keep
your hands on the steering wheel
and drive your vehicle safely.
• Never unfasten your safety belt
when using ProPILOT Assist. Doing so
automatically cancels the ProPILOT
Assist system. •
The ProPILOT Assist system does not
react to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.
• Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ProPILOT Assist
system. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly before
using the ProPILOT Assist system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not
rely on the system to prevent acci-
dents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ProPILOT Assist system
except in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same
lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera
OAinstalled behind the
windshield and a radar sensor located on the
front of the vehicle
OBto measure the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane
and to monitor the lane markers. If the vehicle
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 system will also help
keep the vehicle centered in the traveling lane
when clear lane markings are detected.

The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow-
ing two functions:
1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes:
• Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode: For cruising at a preset speed
NOTE:Steering Assist is not available in the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode.
•Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: The ICC system maintains a se-
lected distance from the vehicle in front
of you within the speed range of 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). When the vehicle ahead slows to a
stop, your vehicle gradually decelerates
to a standstill. When the vehicle is
stopped, the ICC system maintains brak-
ing force to keep your vehicle stopped.

NOTE:When your vehicle is stopped for less
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead
begins to move, your vehicle will start
moving again automatically.–When your vehicle is at a stand-
still for more than 3 seconds and
the vehicle ahead begins to accel-
erate, push the RES+ switch or
lightly depress the accelerator
pedal. The ICC system starts to
follow the vehicle ahead.
– When no vehicle is detected
ahead within the driver selected
distance, the vehicle travels at the
speed set by the driver. The speed
must be above 20 mph (32 km/h)
to use this function.
• For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT As- sist with Navi-link and only when on a
limited access freeway (as identified in
the navigation map data):– The time the vehicle can remain stopped and automatically restart is
extended from 3 seconds to 30
seconds.

– If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of thelane ahead, the vehicle may not auto-
matically start when the traffic ahead
begins to move. You need to push up
the RES+ switch or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal to follow the vehicle
directly ahead when it is safe to do so.
NOTE:Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection set-
ting is turned off by the driver using the
“Settings” menu in the vehicle informa-
tion display, AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion will be automatically turned on
when ICC is used.
2. Steering Assist
The Steering Assist function controls the
steering system to help keep your ve-
hicle within the traveling lane.
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering
Assist is not available at speeds under 37
mph (60 km/h).
