When the COAST/SET switch is pushed under
the following conditions, the system cannot be
set.
A warning chime will sound and the ICC
indicators will blink.
.When the SNOW mode is pushed (SNOW
mode switch) (To use the ICC system, turn
off the SNOW mode switch, push the MAIN
switch to turn off the ICC and reset the ICC
switch by pushing the MAIN switch again.)
For details about the SNOW mode switch,
see “SNOW mode” (P.5-132) .

.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

limitations
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.

System temporarily unavailable
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the ICC system
is automatically canceled. The chime will sound
and the system will not be able to be set.
.When the VDC is turned off
. When the ABS or VDC operates
. When a tire slips
. 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 radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no longer
present, turn the system off using the MAIN
switch
*2. Turn the ICC system back on to use
the system.
JVS0481X
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.

To cancel the preset speed,use any of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The SET indica- tor will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The SET indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the MAIN switch indicator and SET indicator will turn
off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
2. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RESUME set switch. When the vehicle attains the
speed you desire, release the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the ACCELER- ATE/RESUME switch. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h) .
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it. 2. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.
3. Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h) .
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 25 MPH
(40 km/h) .
System temporarily unavailable
Under the following condition, a chime will
sound and the system control is automatically
canceled.
. When the vehicle slows down more than 8
MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed
. When the shift lever is shifted to the N
(Neutral) position
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the VDC (including the traction
control system) operates.

Warning light
When the system is not operating properly, the
chime sounds and the system warning light
(orange) will come on.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle in
a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the
engine, resume driving and then perform the
setting again.
If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system is
malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is
still driveable under normal conditions,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
