PRECAUTIONS

[ICC]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NKS003EG
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for ICC System ServiceNKS003EH

Never look straight into the laser beam discharger when adjusting laser beam aiming.

Turn the MAIN switch OFF in conditions similar to driving, such as free rollers or a chassis dynamometer.

Do not use the ICC sensor removing from vehicle, disassemble, or remodel the sensor.

Erase DTC when replacing parts of ICC system, then check the operation of ICC system after adjusting
laser beam aiming if necessary.

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
OutlineNKS003EJ
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle
ahead according to that vehicle's speed, or at the set speed, if the road ahead is clear.
The ICC function has two cruise control modes and brake assist (with preview function).
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
With vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the driver can maintain the same speed as other vehicles with-
out the constant need to adjust the set speed as the driver would with a normal cruise control system.
The system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following the vehicle traveling in the
same lane and direction.
If the distance sensor detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce speed so that the vehicle
ahead can be followed at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approximately 120 m (390 ft) ahead.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is cruising at preset speeds.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION)
When the force applied to brake pedal exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is activated and generates a
greater braking force than that of a conventional brake booster even with light pedal force.
When the Preview Function identifies the need to apply the sudden brake by sensing the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before driver depress
the brake pedal and improves brake response by reducing its free play.
Refer to Owner's Manual for BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION) operating instructions.

Components DescriptionNKS003EL
CAN CommunicationNKS003EM
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tric control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN COMMUNICATION UNIT

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
Set Checking
1. Press the MAIN switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
2. Drive the vehicle between 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (90 MPH).
3. Push the SET/COAST switch.
4. Confirm that the desired speed is set as hand is released from the SET/COAST switch.
NOTE:

When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.

When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.

The set vehicle speed is displayed on the ICC system indicator in the combination meter.
Check For Increase Of Cruising Speed
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 MPH) as RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is pushed.
NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 144 km/h (90 MPH).
Check For Decrease Of Cruising Speed
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 MPH) as SET/COAST switch is pushed.
NOTE:

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically turned off when the driving speed lowers to 32
km/h (20 MPH) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.

The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 40 km/h (25 MPH).
Check For Cancellation Of Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode (Normal Driving Condi-
tion) In The Following Cases:

When the brake pedal is depressed after the system is turned ON.

When the selector lever is shifted to the “N” (Neutral) position.

When the MAIN switch is turned OFF.

When CANCEL switch is operated.
Check For Restoring Speed That Is Set By Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode Before
Cancellation
1. Cancel the system by depressing the foot brake. Then, check that the speed before cancellation is
restored when pressing RESUME/ACCELERATE switch with 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above.
2. Cancel the system by shifting the selector lever to “N” position. Then, check if the speed set before the cancellation is restored when RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is pushed up.
3. Check if the speed previously set is restored when RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is operated with driv- ing 40 km/h (25 MPH), after canceling vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode by operating the CANCEL
switch.
Check For MAIN Switch
1. Start engine. Then, check if the following operations are per- formed correctly.
2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is displayed in combi- nation meter illuminates when MAIN switch is pressed “ON” for
less than 1.5 seconds and ready for operation. The illumination
goes off when MAIN switch is turned to OFF.
3. “CRUISE” illumination and ICC system display go off when the ignition switch is turned to OFF while MAIN switch is ON
(“CRUISE” illumination is ON and vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode is ready for operation).
