WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-
BSI system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The I-BSI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When changing lanes, al-
ways use the side and rear mir-
rors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move
to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the I-
BSI system.
. There is a limitation to the detec-
tion capability of the radar. Not
every moving object or vehicle
will be detected. Using the I-BSI
system under some road, ground,
lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper
system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid ac-
cidents.
The I-BSI system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes and helps assist the driver to return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane.
JVS0910X
The I-BSI system uses radar sensorsinstalled near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In
addition to the radar sensors, the I-BSI
system uses a camera
installed behind
the windshield to monitor the lane mar-
kers of your traveling lane.

I-BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-BSI system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The I-BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be
able to detect and activate I-BSI
when certain objects are present
such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle. — A vehicle approaching rapidly
from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone
is designed based on a standard
lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed
to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situa-
tions and the I-BSI system may
not operate properly.
— On roads where there are
multiple parallel lane markers;
lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow

such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, turn the I-BSI system off and turn
it on again. If the I-BSI system warning
light (orange)
continues to blink even
after the I-BSI system is turned on again,
stop the vehicle in a safe location, place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position and
turn the engine off. Check for and remove
objects obscuring the radar sensors on
the rear bumper, and restart the engine.
If the I-BSI system warning light (orange)
continues to blink, have the I-BSI
system checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the I-BSI system malfunctions, it will
be turned off automatically, a chime will
sound and the I-BSI system warning light
(orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position, turn
the engine off and restart the engine.
If the warning light (orange) continues to
illuminate, have the I-BSI system checked.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the I-BSI
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 apply additional paint near the radar
sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
for I-BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-BSI and prevent
a system malfunction, be sure to observe
the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting
the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
the camera lens or remove the screw
located on the camera unit. It is
recommended you contact a NISSAN
dealer if the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury
or death.
.ICC is not a collision avoidance or
warning device. For highway use
only and it is not intended for
congested areas or city driving.
Failure to apply the brakes could
result in an accident.
. Always observe posted speed
limits and do not set the speed
over them.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using either cruise
control mode. Read and under-
stand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the cruise
control. To avoid serious injury
or death, do not rely on the
system to prevent accidents or
to control the vehicle’s speed in
emergency situations. Do not use
cruise control except in appropri-
ate road and traffic conditions.
. In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, a warning
chime will not sound to warn you if you are too close to the vehicle
ahead. Pay special attention to
the distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle ahead of you
or a collision could occur.
The ICC system maintains a selected
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).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when
the road ahead is clear.
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes.
. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode:
For maintaining a selected distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you up to the preset speed.
. Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode:
For cruising at a preset speed.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically
maintains a selected distance from the
vehicle traveling in front of you according
to that vehicle’s speed (up to the set
speed), or at the set speed when the road
ahead is clear.
JVS0913X
The system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.
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 system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to
approximately 40% of vehicle braking
power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

.This system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the ICC sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other
bad weather. Decelerate the ve-
hicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of
the system. The system will can-
cel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To pre-
vent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake
pedal. .
Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the ICC system may
not be able to maintain the se-
lected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some cir-
cumstances.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions:
— On roads where the traffic is
heavy or there are sharp
curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in over- heating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
. Do not use the ICC system if you
are towing a trailer. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control
the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using
the ICC system when it is not
recommended in this section.
The radar sensor will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary and slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals
