NISSAN ARMADA 2017 2.G Owners Manual

5-30Starting and driving
after road repairs. (The LDW and
LDP systems could detect these
items as lane markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection 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 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 vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example,
when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
. Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and the
chime may not be heard.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, a beep will
sound and the LDP system will be canceled
automatically. The LDP ON indicator light
(green)
*1will blink, and the LDP system
cannot be activated:
. When the VDC system (except TCS func-
tion) or ABS operates.
. When the VDC system is turned off.

sunlight under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 1048F (408C)) and then the LDP
system is turned on, the LDP system will be
turned off automatically, a beep will sound and
the LDP ON indicator light (green)

system back on.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
LDW system: When the LDW system malfunc-
tions, it will cancel automatically, and the LDW
indicator light (orange) will illuminate.
LDP system: When the LDP system malfunc-
tions, it will be turned off automatically, a beep
will sound, and the LDW indicator light (orange)
will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the engine
off and restart the engine. If the LDW indicator
light (orange) continues to illuminate, have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit*1for the LDW/LDP
systems is located above the inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/LDP
systems and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability of

detecting the lane markers.
. 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. It is recommended you contact
a NISSAN dealer if the camera unit is
damaged due to an accident.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
. The BSW system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedure
and is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects.
When changing lanes, always use
the side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction your vehi-
cle will move to ensure it is safe to
change lanes. Never rely solely on
the BSW system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSW system
under some road, ground, lane mar-
ker, traffic or weather conditions
could lead to improper system op-
eration. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
JVS0908X
The BSW system uses radar sensors*Ainstalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane.

equipped)

SSD1030Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and
extends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h) .
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
*1illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
NOTE:
.The side indicator light illuminates for
a few seconds when the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position.
. The brightness of the side indicator
light is adjusted automatically depend-
ing on the brightness of the ambient
light.
. If a vehicle comes into the detection
zone after the driver activates the turn
signal, then only the side indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. For
additional information, refer to “BSW
driving situations” (P.5-38) .

TURNING THE BSW SYSTEM ON/OFF
The warning systems switch*1is used to turn
on and off the BSW system when it is activated
using the settings menu on the center display.
See “How to enable/disable the BSW system”
(P.5-36) . When the warning systems switch
*1is turned off, the warning systems ON indicator
light
*2on the switch is off.
The warning systems switch
*1will turn on and
off the LDW and BSW systems at the same
time.
HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE BSW
SYSTEM
The BSW system can be turned off permanently
using the center display.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions. .
The radar sensors may not be able
to detect and activate BSW when
certain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adja- cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This
is a normal operation condition.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/snow build-up on the
vehicle
— Dirt build-up on the vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material) , install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.

NOTE:
.The radar sensors may not detect
vehicles which are approaching rapidly
from behind.
. If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected.

Illustration 3: The side indicator light illuminates
if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle stays in
the detection zone for approximately 3 seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower moving
vehicles if they are passed quickly.

Illustration 4: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
.When overtaking several vehicles in a
row, the vehicles after the first vehicle
may not be detected if they are travel-
ing close together.
. The radar sensors may not detect
slower moving vehicles if they are
passed quickly.
. If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection zone, the side indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected.
