SSD1107
*1System set display with vehicle ahead
*2System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based
on the road conditions. The ICC system main-
tains the set vehicle speed, similar to standard
cruise control, as long as no vehicle is detected
in the lane ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the brakes
to match the speed of a slower vehicle ahead.
The system then controls the vehicle speed
based on the speed of the vehicle ahead tomaintain the driver selected distance.
NOTE:
.
The stoplights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
. When the brake operates, a noise may
be heard and/or vibration may be felt.
This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and
selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to
resume the previously set vehicle speed. The
ICC system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the vehicle
ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC
system is in operation, the system controls the
distance to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) , the system
will be canceled.

When passing another vehicle,the set
speed indicator will flash when the vehicle
speed exceeds the set speed. The vehicle
detect indicator will turn off when the area
ahead of the vehicle is open. When the pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the previously
set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator pedal
when it is necessary to accelerate your vehicle
rapidly.
How to change set vehicle speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of these
methods:
. Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
. Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed
indicator will go out.
. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the MAIN
switch indicator and set vehicle speed
indicator will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RESUME
switch. The set vehicle speed will increase
by approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h for
Canada) .
. Push, then quickly release the ACCELER-
ATE/RESUME switch. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by approxi-
mately 1 MPH (1 km/h for Canada) .
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it. .
Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. The
set vehicle speed will decrease by approxi-
mately 5 MPH (5 km/h for Canada) .
. Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1
km/h for Canada) .
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set cruising
speed when the vehicle speed is over 20 MPH
(32 km/h) .

5-80Starting and driving
.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection and set dis-
tance indicator blink.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance between
vehicles. Some examples are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is
increasing
. When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
. Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
radar sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle or on the side of the road. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle. The radar sensor
may detect these objects when the vehicle
is driven on winding roads, narrow roads,
hilly roads or when entering or exiting a curve. In these cases you will have to
manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage) .
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.
.
When the vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed of
15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is at
standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) or
manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the SNOW mode switch is pushed
on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H or
4L position (for 4WD models)
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When ABS or VDC (including the traction
control system) operates .
When distance measurement becomes im-
paired due to adhesion of dirt or obstruction
to the sensor
. When a wheel slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use
the system in city traffic or con-
gested areas.
. This system will not adapt automa-
tically to road conditions. This sys-
tem should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp curves,
or on icy roads, in heavy rain or in
fog.

Condition B:
When the radar sensor area of the front bumper
is covered with dirt or is obstructed, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the ICC
system is automatically canceled.
The chime sounds and the ICC system warning
light (orange) will come on and the “FRONT
RADAR OBSTRUCTION” warning will appear.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in
a safe place, place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position and turn the engine off. When the radar
signal is temporarily interrupted, clean the sensor area of the front bumper and restart the
engine. If the “FRONT RADAR OBSTRUC-
TION” warning continues to be displayed, have
the ICC system checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

DCA SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the DCA
system could result in serious personal
injury or death.
.When the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light is not illuminated,
system will not control the vehicle
or warn the driver.
. Never place your foot under the
brake pedal. Your foot may be
caught when the system controls
the brake.
. Depending on the position of the
accelerator pedal, the system may
not be able to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal appro-
priately.
The DCA system brakes and moves the accel-
erator pedal upward according to the distance
from and the relative speed of the vehicle ahead
to help assist the driver in maintaining a
following distance. The system will decelerate
as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to
