WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the FEB
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The FEB system is a supplemental
aid to the driver. It is not a replace-
ment for the driver’s attention to
traffic conditions or responsibility to
drive safely. It cannot prevent acci-
dents due to carelessness or dan-
gerous driving techniques.
. The FEB system does not function in
all driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The FEB system can assist the driver when there
is a risk of a forward collision with the vehicle
ahead in the traveling lane.

10-28Technical and consumer information
can safely change lanes.
. Use the Tow mode or downshift the
transmission to a lower gear for engine
braking when driving down steep or long
hills. This will help slow the vehicle without
applying the brakes.
. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too
long or too frequently. This could cause the
brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced
braking efficiency.
. Increase your following distance to allow for
greater stopping distances while towing a
trailer. Anticipate stops and brake gradually.
. NISSAN recommends that the cruise con-
trol not be used while towing a trailer.
. While towing a trailer, do not use the
following systems (if so equipped):
— the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system
— the Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system
— the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system
— the Blind Spot Intervention
Š(BSI) sys-
tem
— the Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI) system
— the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system — the Distance Control Assist (DCA) sys-
tem
— the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) system
— the Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) system
. Some states or provinces have specific
regulations and speed limits for vehicles
that are towing trailers. Obey the local
speed limits.
. Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness
connections, and trailer wheel lug nuts after
50 miles (80 km) of travel and at every
break.
. When launching a boat, do not allow the
water level to go over the exhaust tail pipe or
rear bumper.
. Make sure you disconnect the trailer lights (if
so equipped) before backing the trailer into
the water or the trailer lights may burn out.
When towing a trailer, the transmission
fluid should be changed more frequently.
For additional information, see the "9.
Maintenance and schedules" section.
TOW mode
Using TOW mode is recommended when pull-
ing a heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load. Push
the TOW MODE switch to activate tow mode.
The TOW MODE indicator light in the meter
illuminates when TOW mode is selected. Push
the TOW MODE switch again to turn TOW
mode off. TOW mode is automatically cancelled
when the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
TOW mode includes the following features:
. Grade logic — Adjusts transmission shifts
when pulling a trailer or hauling a load up a
grade.
. Downhill Speed Control (DSC) — automa-
tically downshifts when driving down a
grade with a trailer or heavy load to help
control vehicle speed.
Driving the vehicle in the TOW mode with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will not cause
any damage. However, fuel economy may be
reduced and the transmission/engine driving
characteristics may feel unusual.
When towing a trailer, the transmission
fluid should be changed more frequently.

Maintenance and schedules" section.
