VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the LDW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ This system is only a warning device
to inform the driver of a potential un-
intended lane departure. It will not
steer the vehicle or prevent loss of
control. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert, drive safely, keep the ve-
hicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.The LDW system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately
70 km/h (45 mph) and above, and only
when the lane markings are clearly visible
on the road.
The LDW system monitors the lane mark-
ers on the traveling lane using the camera
unit
Alocated above the inside mirror.
The LDW system warns the driver that the
vehicle is beginning to leave the driving
lane with an indicator and a steering wheel
vibration. For additional information, refer
to “LDW system operation” in this section.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) (if
so equipped)

LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds of approximately 70 km/h
(45 mph) and above and the lane markings
are clear. When the vehicle approaches ei-
ther the lef t or the right side of the traveling
lane, the steering wheel will vibrate and the
LDW indicator on the instrument panel will
blink to alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the
vehicle returns inside of the lane markers.

LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the LDW system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper
use of the LDW system could result in
serious injury or death.
∙ The system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 70 km/h
(45 mph) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
LSD3215

∙ Do not use the LDW system under the
following conditions as it may not
function properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads,
such as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or un-
even roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshif t or
temporary lane.
– When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire
conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, nonstandard
wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or
other vehicle.∙ The system may not function prop-
erly under the following conditions:
– On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane mark-
ers that are faded or not painted
clearly; yellow painted lane mark-
ers; non-standard lane markers; or
lane markers covered with water,
dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where the discontinued
lane markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp
curves.
– On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining af ter
road repairs. (The LDW system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
– On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
marker.– When traveling close to the vehicle
in front of you, which obstructs the
lane camera unit detection range.
– When rain, snow, dirt or an object
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 aim-
ing is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters the lane
camera unit. (For example, the light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in bright-
ness occurs. (For example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 40°C [104°F]) and then
started, the LDW system may be deacti-
vated automatically and the following
message will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display: “Unavailable: High Cabin
Temperature.”
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the LDW system will resume operating au-
tomatically.
The LDW system is not designed to warn
under the following conditions:
∙ When you operate the lane change sig-
nal and change traveling lanes in the
direction of the signal. (The LDW system
will become operable again approxi-
mately 2 seconds af ter the lane change
signal is turned off.)
∙ When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 70 km/h (45 mph).
Af ter the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions
are satisfied, the LDW functions will resume.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the LDW system malfunctions, it will can-
cel automatically and “Not Available Sys-
tem Malfunction” will appear in the vehicle
information display. If “Not Available Sys-
tem Malfunction” appears in the vehicle in-
formation display, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle. Place the
shif t lever in the P (Park) position and the
ignition switch in the OFF position and re-
start the engine/motor. If “Not Available
System Malfunction” continues to appear
in the vehicle information display, have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW sys-
tem is located above the inside mirror. To
keep the proper operation of the LDW sys-
tem and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
∙ Always keep the windshield clean.
∙ Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
LSD3216

∙ Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane mark-
ers.
∙ 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. If the cam-
era unit is damaged due to an accident,
it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Intelli-
gent Lane Intervention system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The Intelligent Lane Intervention sys-
tem will not steer the vehicle or pre-
vent loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the travel-
ing lane, and be in control of the ve-
hicle at all times.∙ The Intelligent Lane Intervention sys-
tem is primarily intended for use on
well-developed freeways or high-
ways. It may not detect the lane mark-
ers in certain road, weather, or driving
conditions.
The Intelligent Lane Intervention system
must be turned on with the dynamic driver
assistance switch, every time the ignition is
placed in the ON position.
The Intelligent Lane Intervention system
will operate when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 70 km/h (45 mph)
and above, and only when the lane mark-
ings are clearly visible on the road.
The Intelligent Lane Intervention system
warns the driver when the vehicle has lef t
the center of the traveling lane with an in-
dicator and a steering wheel vibration. The
system helps assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane by
applying the brakes to the lef t or right
wheels individually (for a short period of
time).
The Intelligent Lane Intervention system
monitors the lane markers on the traveling
lane using the camera unit
Alocated
above the inside mirror.

(45 mph). When the vehicle approaches ei-
ther the lef t or the right side of the traveling
lane, the steering wheel will vibrate and the
LDW indicator (orange) on the instrument
panel will blink to alert the driver. Then, the
Intelligent Lane Intervention system will
automatically apply the brakes for a short
period of time to help assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the trav-
eling lane.
To turn on the Intelligent Lane Intervention
system, push the dynamic driver assis-
tance switch af ter starting the
engine/motor. The Intelligent Lane Inter-
vention indicator on the instrument panel
will illuminate. Push the dynamic driver as-
sistance switch again to turn off the Intelli-
gent Lane Intervention system. The Intelli-
gent Lane Intervention indicator will turn
off.
