GUID-282 EFFD6-A2A3 -44A1-9162-36F52A814 BFD
The forward emergency brakingsystemwillfunction
when yourvehicle isdriven atspeeds aboveapproxi-
mately 5km/h (3MPH) .
If arisk ofaforward collision isdetected, theforward
emergency brakingsystemwillprovide thefirst
warning tothe driver byflashing theforward emer-
gency braking systemwarning lightandproviding an
audible warning.
If the driver applies thebrakes quickly andforcefully
after thewarning, andtheforward emergency braking
system detects thatthere isstill thepossibility ofa
forward collision, thesystem willautomatically increase
the braking force.
If the driver doesnottake action, theforward
emergency brakingsystemissuesthesecond visual
warning (red)andaudible warning. Ifthe driver
releases theaccelerator pedal,thenthesystem applies
partial braking.
If the risk ofacollision becomes imminent, theforward
emergency brakingsystemapplies harderbraking
automatically .
NO TE:
The vehicle's brakelightscomeonwhen braking
is performed bythe forward emergency braking
system.
Depending onvehicle speedanddistance tothe
vehicle ahead,aswell asdriving androadway
conditions, thesystem mayhelp thedriver avoida
forward collision ormay help mitigate theconse-
quences ifa collision shouldonebeunavoidable.
If the driver ishandling thesteering wheel,accelerating
or braking, theforward emergency brakingsystemwill
function laterorwill not function.
The automatic brakingwillcease underthefollowing conditions:
. When thesteering wheelisturned asfar as
necessary toavoid acollision.
. When theaccelerator pedalisdepressed.
. When thereisno longer avehicle detected ahead.
If the forward emergency brakingsystemhasstopped
the vehicle, thevehicle willremain atastandstill for
approximately 2seconds beforethebrakes are
released.
WARNING:
. The radar sensor doesnotdetect the
following objects:
Ð Pedestrians, animalsorobstacles inthe
roadway
Ð Oncoming vehicles
Ð Crossing vehicles
. The radar sensor hassome performance
limitations. Ifastationary vehicleisin the
vehicle's path,theforward emergency brak-
ing system willnotfunction whenthevehicle
is driven atspeeds overapproximately 80
km/h (50MPH) .
. The radar sensor maynotdetect avehicle
ahead inthe following conditions:
Ð Dirt, ice,snow orother material covering
the radar sensor.
Ð Interference byother radarsources.
Ð Snow orroad spray fromtravelling
vehicles.
Ð If the vehicle aheadisnarrow (e.g.

WARNING:
. Do not stop orpark thevehicle over
flammable materialssuchasdry grass,
waste paperorrags. Theymayignite and
cause afire.
. Safe parking procedures requirethatboth
the parking brakebeapplied andtheshift
lever placed inthe ªPº(Park) position
(Continuously Variable Transmission model)
or the shift lever placed inan appropriate
gear (Manual Transmission model).Failure
to do socould cause thevehicle tomove
unexpectedly orroll away andresult inan
accident.
. When parking thevehicle, makesurethe
shift lever ismoved tothe ªPº(Park)
position. Theshift lever cannot bemoved
out ofthe ªPº(Park) position without
depressing thefoot brake pedal(Continu-
ously Variable Transmission model).
. Never leavetheengine running whilethe
vehicle isunattended.
. When parking foranextended periodoftime
with Stop/Start SystemorIdling StopSys-
tem (ifequipped) activated,theengine will
restart automatically. Neverleavethevehi-
cle with theignition switchinthe ªONº

. Never leavechildren oradults whowould

come involved inaserious accident and
injure themselves. Onhot, sunny days, temperatures

The brake booster aidsbraking byusing engine
vacuum. Ifthe engine stops,youcan stop thevehicle
by depressing thefoot brake pedal. However, greater
foot pressure onthe foot brake pedalwillberequired
to stop thevehicle. Thestopping distancewillbe
longer.
If the engine isnot running oristurned offwhile driving,
the power assisted brakeswillnot function. Braking
will beharder.
WARNING:
Do not coast withtheengine stopped.
Using brakes
T32A130 827-7685AB CE-3DB1-41 CC-B5B8-18 AA17ED1ABA
Avoid resting yourfootonthe foot brake pedalwhile
driving. Thiswilloverheat thebrakes, wearoutthe
brake linings/pads faster,andincrease fuelconsump-
tion.
T o help reduce brakewearandtoprevent thebrakes
from overheating, reducespeedanddownshift toa
lower gearbefore goingdownaslope orlong grade.
Overheated brakesmayreduce braking performance
and could resultinloss ofvehicle control.
While driving onaslippery surface, becareful when
braking, accelerating ordownshifting. Abruptbraking
or acceleration couldcause thewheels toskid and
result inan accident.
W et brakes

T o dry the brakes, drivethevehicle atasafe speed
while lightly depressing thebrake pedal toheat upthe
brakes. Dothis until thebrakes returntonormal. Avoid
driving thevehicle athigh speeds untilthebrakes

ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
T32A130 827-683C35 C0-5BE2-4929-8230-2F12153688C 3
WARNING:
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)isa
sophisticated device,butitcannot prevent
accidents resultingfromcareless ordanger-
ous driving techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking onslippery
surfaces. Remember thatstopping distances
on slippery surfaces willbelonger thanon
normal surfaces evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger onrough,
gravel orsnow covered roads,orifyou are
using tirechains. Always maintain asafe
distance fromthevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible for
safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso affect
braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install thespeci-
fied size oftires onallfour wheels. Ð
When installing aspare tire,make sure
that itis the proper sizeandtype as
specified onthe tire placard. (SeeªTire
placardº (P.9-9) .)
Ð For detailed information, seeªTires and
wheelsº (P.8-36) .
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls the
brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hardbraking
or when braking onslippery surfaces. Thesystem
detects therotation speedateach wheel andvaries
the brake fluidpressure toprevent eachwheel from
locking andsliding. Bypreventing eachwheel from
locking, thesystem helpsthedriver maintain steering
control andhelps tominimize swerving andspinning
on slippery surfaces.
Using system
T32A130 827-E23B0 C95-6959-4 B5D-B45D-1644E60AD E90
Depress thebrake pedalandhold itdown. Depress
the brake pedal withfirmsteady pressure, butdonot
pump thebrakes. TheABS willoperate toprevent the
wheels fromlocking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid
obstacles.
WARNING:
Do not pump thebrake pedal. Doingsomay
result inincreased stoppingdistances.
Self-test feature
T32A1308 27-DA8726AA -9312-4804-BB85-3 097CB09683D
The ABS includes electronic sensors,electricpumps,
hydraulic solenoids andacomputer. Thecomputer has
a built-in diagnostic featurethattests thesystem each
time youstart theengine andmove thevehicle atalow
speed inforward orreverse. Whentheself-test
occurs, youmay hear aªclunkº noiseand/or feela
pulsation inthe brake pedal. Thisisnormal anddoes
not indicate amalfunction. Ifthe computer sensesamalfunction,
itswitches theABS offand illuminates the
ABS warning lightonthe meter. Thebrake system then
operates normally,but without anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates duringtheself-test
or while driving, havethevehicle checked bya
NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
T32A130 827-E5A825 64-C0DC-4321-8A21-CC D22D746C00
The ABS operates atspeeds above5to 10 km/h (3to
6 MPH) .The speed variesaccording toroad condi-
tions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels are
close tolocking up,the actuator rapidlyapplies and
releases hydraulic pressure. Thisaction issimilar to
pumping thebrakes veryquickly .You may feela
pulsation inthe brake pedalandhear anoise from
under thehood orfeel avibration fromtheactuator
when itis operating. Thisisnormal andindicates that
the ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsation
may indicate thatroad conditions arehazardous and
extra careisrequired whiledriving.
