ICC sensor maintenance
The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:∙ Always keep the sensor area clean.
∙ Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensor.
∙ Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure
or malfunction.
∙ Do not attach metallic objects near the sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This
could cause failure or malfunction.
∙ Do not alter, remove, or paint the front bumper.
Before customizing or restoring the front
bumper, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.
The camera sensor is located above the
inside mirror. To keep the proper operation of the sys-
tems 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.
∙ 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 camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit a

STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death. ∙ The Steering Assist is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, inattentive or absent-minded
driving. The Steering Assist will not al-
ways steer the vehicle to keep it in the
lane. It is not designed to prevent loss
of control. It is the driver’s responsibil-
ity to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist’s capability, never rely
solely on the system. The Steering As-
sist does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather, and road conditions.
Always drive safely, pay attention to
the operation of the vehicle, and
manually control your vehicle
appropriately.
∙ The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways with gentle (moderate) curves.
To avoid risk of an accident, do not use
this system on local or non-highway
roads.
Starting and driving5-113

∙ The Steering Assist only steers the ve-hicle to maintain its position in the
center of a lane. The vehicle will not
steer to avoid objects in the road in
front of the vehicle or to avoid a ve-
hicle moving into your lane.
∙ It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control of
the vehicle at all times. Never take
your hands off the steering wheel
when driving. Always keep your hands
on the steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the Steering Assist. Read
and understand the Owner’s Manual
thoroughly before using the Steering
Assist. To avoid serious injury or
death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the ve-
hicle’s speed in emergency situations.
Do not use the Steering Assist except
in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, refer to “Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)”
in this section.
The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
∙ The ICC system is activated.
∙ Lane markers on both sides are clearly detected.
∙ A vehicle ahead is detected (when the vehicle is driven at speeds under
37 mph [60 km/h]).
∙ The driver grips the steering wheel.
∙ The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.
∙ The turn signals are not operated.
∙ The windshield wiper is not operated in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steer-
ing Assist function is disabled af ter the
wiper operates for approximately
10 seconds).

Under the following conditions, the Steer-
ing Assist cancels, and the Steering Assist
status indicator and the Steering Assist in-
dicator turn off:∙ When unusual lane markers appear in the traveling lane or when the lane
marker cannot be correctly detected
for some time due to certain conditions
(for example, a snow rut, the reflection
of light on a rainy day, the presence of
several unclear lane markers)
∙ When the windshield wiper operates in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steer-
ing Assist is disabled when the wiper
operates for more than approximately
10 seconds)
Action to take:
Turn the ICC system off using the CANCEL
switch. When the conditions listed above
are no longer present, turn the ICC system
on again.
Steering Assist malfunction

vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off, restart the engine, resume driving,
and set the Intelligent Cruise Control sys-
tem again. If the warning (orange) contin-
ues to illuminate, the Steering Assist is mal-
functioning. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shif t lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), the RAB
system operates.
If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is de-
tected when your vehicle is backing up, the
RAB system warning indicator will flash in
the vehicle information display, a red frame
will appear in the center display (for vehicles
with the Intelligent Around View Monitor sys-
tem), and the system will chime three times.
The system will then automatically apply the
brakes. Af ter the automatic brake applica-
tion, the driver must depress the brake pedal
to maintain brake pressure.
NOTE:
∙ The brake lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by the
RAB system.
∙ When the brakes operate, a noise may
be heard. This is not a malfunction.

– An ultrasonic wave source, such asanother vehicle’s sonar, is near the
vehicle.
∙ Once the automatic brake control op- erates, it does not operate again if the
vehicle approaches the same
obstacle.
∙ The automatic brake control can only operate for a short period of time.
Therefore, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.
∙ In the following situations, the RAB system may not operate properly or
may not function sufficiently:
– The vehicle is driven in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
– The vehicle’s posture is changed (e.g., when driving over a bump).
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
– The vehicle is turned sharply by turning the steering wheel fully.
– Snow chains are used. – Wheels or tires other than NISSAN
recommended are used.
– The brakes are cold at low ambient temperatures or immediately af ter
driving has started.
– The braking force becomes poor due to wet brakes af ter driving
through a puddle or washing the
vehicle.
∙ Turn the RAB system off in the follow- ing conditions to prevent the occur-
rence of an unexpected accident re-
sulting from sudden system
operation:
– The vehicle is towed.
– The vehicle is carried on a flatbed truck.
– The vehicle is on the chassis dynamometer.
– The vehicle drives on an uneven road surface. – Suspension parts other than those
designated as Genuine NISSAN
parts are used. (If the vehicle
height or the vehicle body inclina-
tion is changed, the system may
not detect an obstacle correctly.)
∙ Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB system
warning light will illuminate, and the “Sys-
tem fault” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
