- When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear, low tire pressure, installation of spare tire, tire chains, non-standard wheels).
- When the vehicle is equipped with non-origi nal brake parts or suspension parts.
- When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
 Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
 The functions of the LDP system (warning and brake control assist) may or may not operate properly under
the following conditions:
- On roads where there are multiple parallel lane marker s; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers or lane markers covered with water, dirt or snow,
etc.
- On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
- On roads where there are sharp curves.
- On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road repairs (The LDP syste m could detect these items as lane markers.).
- On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
- When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
- When traveling close to other vehicle in front of the vehicle, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection
range.
- When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of the lane camera unit.
- When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not adjusted properly.
- When strong light enters the lane camera unit (For example, the light directly shines on the front of the vehi-
cle at sunrise or sunset.)
- When a sudden change in brightness occurs (For exampl e, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or
under a bridge.)
 While the LDP system is operating, driver may hear a sound of brake operation. This is normal and indicates
that the LDP system is operating properly.

HANDLING PRECAUTION
Precautions for Blind Spot WarningINFOID:0000000006223856
SIDE RADAR HANDLING
 Side radar for BSW system is located inside the rear bumper.
 Always keep the rear bumper near the side radar clean.
 Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material), install an accessory or paintwork near the side radar.
 Do not strike or damage the areas around the side radar.
 Do not strike, damage, and scratch the side radar, especially the vent seal (gray circular) area, under repair.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BLIND SPOT WARNING
 The BSW system is not a replacement for proper driving procedure and are not designed to prevent contact
with vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always us e the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction driver will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW system.
 The BSW system may not provide a warning for v ehicles that pass through the detection zone quickly.
 Do not use the BSW system when towing a trai ler because the system may not function properly.
 Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
 The side radar may not be able to detect and activate BSW when certain objects are present such as:
- Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
- Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles.
- Oncoming vehicles.
- Vehicles remaining in the detection z one when driver accelerate from a stop.
- A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as vehicle.
- A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
- A vehicle which vehicle overtakes rapidly.
 Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce t he ability of the side radar to detect other vehicles.
 The side radar detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the
side radar may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the side radar may
detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
 The side radar are designed to ignore most stationary objects, however objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be det ected. This is a normal operating condition.

Service Notice or Precautions for TransferINFOID:0000000006222211
CAUTION:
 Use Genuine NISSAN Transfer Fluid. Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Never reuse transfer fluid, once it has been drained.
 Check the fluid level or repl ace the fluid only with the vehicle parked on level ground.
 During removal or installati on, keep inside of transfer clear of dust or dirt.
 Replace all tires at the same time. Always use tir es of the proper size and the same brand and pat-
tern. Fitting improper size and unusually worn tires applies excessive force to vehicle mechanism
and can cause longitudinal vibration.
 Disassembly should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.
 Before proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the transfer. It is important to prevent the
internal parts from becoming contamin ated by dirt or other foreign matter.
 All parts should be carefully cl eaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspec-
tion or reassembly.
 Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are
required, be certain they do not interfere wit h the function of the parts when applied.
 Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace
them with a new ones if necessary.
 Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transfer is disassembled.
 In principle, tighten bolts or nu ts gradually in several steps workin g diagonally from inside to out-
side. If tightening sequence is specified, use it.
 Observe the specified torque when assembling.
 Clean and flush the parts su fficiently and blow-dry them.
 Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
 Clean inner parts with lint-free cloth or towels . Do not use cotton work gloves and rags to prevent
adhering fibers.
