brake light NISSAN ARMADA 2020 Owner´s Manual

1. Keep the foot brake pedal depressedand push the shift lever button to shift
into a driving gear.
2. Release the parking brake and foot brake, then gradually start the vehicle
in motion.
WARNING
.Do not depress the accelerator
pedal while shifting from P (Park)
or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse), D
(Drive) or manual shift mode. Al-
ways depress the brake pedal
until shifting is completed. Failure
to do so could cause you to lose
control and have an accident.
. Cold engine idle speed is high, so
use caution when shifting into a
forward or reverse gear before
the engine has warmed up.
. Never shift to either the P (Park)
or R (Reverse) position while the
vehicle is moving forward and P
(Park), D (Drive) position or man-
ual shift mode while the vehicle is
moving rearward. This could
cause an accident or damage
the transmission. .
Do not downshift abruptly on
slippery roads. This may cause a
loss of control.
CAUTION
.Except in an emergency, do not
shift to the N (Neutral) position
while driving. Coasting with the
transmission in the N (Neutral)
position may cause serious da-
mage to the transmission.
. To avoid possible damage to your
vehicle; when stopping the vehi-
cle on an uphill grade, do not hold
the vehicle by depressing the
accelerator pedal. The foot brake
should be used for this purpose.

Shifting
The shift lever position indicator light
(next to the shift lever) will be illuminated
for approximately 30 minutes after the
ignition switch is turned off. The indicator
light may also illuminate when the vehicle
receives radio waves. This is not a mal-
function.

To apply:Fully depress the parking brake
pedal.
To release:
1. Firmly apply the foot brake
.
2. Depress the parking brake pedal
and the parking brake will be released.
3. Before driving, be sure the brake warning light goes out.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
LDW and I-LI systems could result in
serious personal injury or death.
.The LDW and I-LI systems will not
prevent loss of control. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehi-
cle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
. The I-LI system may activate if
you change lanes without first
activating your turn signal or, for
example, if a construction zone
directs traffic to cross an existing
lane marker. If this occurs, you
may need to apply corrective
steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the I-LI system may not
activate under the road, weather,
and lane marker conditions de-
scribed in this section, it may not
activate every time your vehicle
begins to leave its lane and you
will need to apply corrective
steering. .
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
— warns the driver with a warning
light and chime that the vehicle is
beginning to leave the driving lane.
. Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) sys-
tem
— warns the driver with a warning
light and chime, and helps assist
the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane by
applying the brakes to the left or
right wheels individually (for a short
period of time).

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE LDW
SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the LDW system.
1. Push the SETTING button
.
2. Touch [Driver Assistance].
3. Touch [Lane Assist].
4. Touch [Lane Departure Warning] to turn the system ON/OFF.
I-LI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-LI system operates above approxi-
mately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and when the
lane markings are clear.
If the vehicle approaches either the left or
right side of the traveling lane, the LDW
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel will flash and a warning chime will
sound. Then, the I-LI system will auto-
matically apply the brakes for a short
period of time to help assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane.
NOTE:
.The I-LI system is not designed to
work when you operate the lane
change signal and change traveling
lanes in the direction of the signal.
(The I-LI system will become oper-
able again approximately 2 seconds
after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
. The I-LI braking assist will not oper-
ate or will stop operating and only a
warning chime will sound under the
following conditions.
—When the brake pedal is de-
pressed.
— When the steering wheel is turned
as far as necessary for the vehicle
to change lanes.

—When the accelerator pedal is
depressed while brake control
assist is provided.
— When the ICC, I-DC, I-BSI, BSW, I-
FCW or AEB warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
. While the I-LI system is operating,
you may hear a sound of brake
operation. This is normal and indi-
cates that the I-LI system is operat-
ing properly.

— When driving on winding oruneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal tire conditions (for example,
tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situa-
tions and the LDW and I-LI sys-
tems may not operate properly.
— On roads where there are
multiple parallel lane markers,
lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly, yellow
painted lane markers, non-
standard lane markers, or
lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where the discontin- ued lane markers are still
detectable.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs. (The LDW and I-LI sys-
tems could detect these items
as lane markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction 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 ad- heres 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 exam-
ple, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For exam-
ple, 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.

I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, thesystem chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the
system chimes (three times) and the side
indicator light flashes. Then the I-BSI
system slightly applies the brakes to help
return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane. The I-BSI system oper-
ates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
.
I-BSI warning and system applica-
tion of the brakes will only be
activated if the side indicator light
is already illuminated when your
vehicle approaches a lane marker.
If another vehicle comes into the
detection zone after your vehicle
has crossed a lane marker, no I-BSI
warning or system application of the
brakes will be activated. (See “I-BSI
driving situations” (P.5-46).)
. The I-BSI system is typically acti-
vated earlier than the Intelligent
Lane Intervention (I-LI) system when
your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker.

. Do not use the I-BSI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function
properly.
— During bad weather. (For ex-
ample: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow,
etc.
— When driving on winding or uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane. — When driving on roads where
the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
