Condition B:
Under the following conditions, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the
I-DC system is automatically canceled.
The chime will sound, the I-DC system
warning light (orange) will come on and
the “FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION” warn-
ing message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
. When the radar sensor area of the
front bumper is covered with dirt or is
obstructed Action to take:
If the I-DC system warning light (orange)
comes on and the warning message
appears, stop 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 inter-
rupted, clean the sensor area of the front
bumper and restart the engine. If the
warning message continues to be dis-
played, have the I-DC system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
.
When driving on roads with limited
road structures or buildings (for ex-
ample, long bridges, deserts, snow
fields, driving next to long walls)
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the I-DC system will resume auto-
matically.

SSD0999
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
Condition:
When the I-DC system is not operating
properly, the chime sounds and the
system warning light (“CRUISE” 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, and turn on the I-DC
system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or
the indicator stays on, it may indicate
that the system is malfunctioning.
Although the vehicle is still driveableunder normal conditions, have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the I-DC systemis
located below the front bumper.
The I-DC system is designed to automa-
tically check the sensor’s operation. When
the sensor is covered with dirt or is
obstructed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the I-DC system may not detect
them. In these instances, the I-DC system
may not be able to decelerate the vehicle
properly. Be sure to check and clean the
sensor regularly.
To keep the I-DC system operating prop-
erly, be sure to observe the following:
Starting and driving5-97

5-98Starting and driving
.Always keep the sensor area of the
front bumper clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the sensor.
. Do not cover or attach stickers or
similar objects on the front bumper
near the sensor area. This could cause
failure or malfunction.
. Do not attach metallic objects near
the sensor area (brush guard, etc.).
This could cause failure or malfunc-
tion.
. Do not alter, remove or paint the front
bumper. It is recommended you con-
tact a NISSAN dealer before customiz-
ing or restoring the front bumper.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
AEB system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The AEB system is a supplemen-
tal aid to the driver. It is not a
replacement for the driver’s at-
tention to traffic conditions or
responsibility to drive safely. It
cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driv-
ing techniques.
. The AEB system does not func-
tion in all driving, traffic, weather
and road conditions.
The AEB system can assist the driver
when there is a risk of a forward collision
with the vehicle ahead in the traveling
lane.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB)

JVS0913X
The AEB system uses a sensorlocated
below the front bumper to measure the
distance to the vehicle ahead in the
traveling lane.

ment panel)

AEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The AEB system operates at speeds
above approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB system will provide the first
warning to the driver by blinking the
vehicle ahead detection indicator in the
Starting and driving5-99

5-100Starting and driving
vehicle information display and providing
an audible warning. In addition, the AEB
system pushes the accelerator pedal up.
If the driver releases the accelerator
pedal, then the system applies partial
braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the AEB
system detects that there is still the
possibility of a forward collision, the
system will automatically increase the
braking force.
If a forward collision is imminent and the
driver does not take action, the AEB
system issues the second visual (flashing)
and audible warning and automatically
applies harder braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the AEB sys-
tem.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle ahead, as well as driving
and roadway conditions, the system may
help the driver avoid a forward collision or
may help mitigate the consequences of a
collision should one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB
system will function later or will not
function.The automatic braking will cease under
the following conditions:
.
When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle
detected ahead.
If the AEB system has stopped the vehicle,
the vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.

TURNING THE AEB SYSTEM ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the
AEB system ON/OFF.
1. Push the SETTING button on thecenter multi-function control panel
. 2. Touch [Driver Assistance].
3. Touch [Emergency Assist].
4. Touch [Forward emergency braking]
to turn the system ON/OFF.
When the AEB system is turned off, the
AEB system warning light (orange)
illuminates.
NOTE:
The AEB system will be automatically
turned ON when the engine is restarted.
The I-FCW system is integrated into the
AEB system. There is not a separate
selection in the display for the I-FCW
system. When the AEB system is turned
off, the I-FCW system is also turned off.
AEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the AEB system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. The AEB system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensor does not detect
the following objects:
Starting and driving5-101

5-102Starting and driving
— Pedestrians, animals or obsta-cles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
. The radar sensor has some per-
formance limitations. If a station-
ary vehicle is in the vehicle’s path,
the AEB system will not function
when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over approximately 45
MPH (70 km/h).
. The radar sensor may not detect
a vehicle ahead in the following
conditions:
— Dirt, ice, snow or other materi-
al covering the radar sensor.
— Interference by other radar sources.
— Snow or road spray from tra- veling vehicles.
— If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle)
— When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle. .
In some road or traffic conditions,
the AEB system may unexpect-
edly push the accelerator pedal
up or apply partial braking. When
acceleration is necessary, con-
tinue to depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
. Braking distances increase on
slippery surfaces.
. The system is designed to auto-
matically check the sensor’s func-
tionality, within certain
limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction
of the sensor area such as ice,
snow, stickers, for example. In
these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. Be sure that you check, clean
and clear the sensor area regu-
larly.
. Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard.

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as
winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or
roads which are under construction, the
radar sensor may detect vehicles in a
different lane, or may temporarily not
detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This
may cause the AEB system to work
inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or traveling position in the
lane, etc.) or vehicle condition.If this
occurs, the system may warn you by
blinking the vehicle ahead detection
indicator and sounding the chime un-
expectedly. You will have to manually
control the proper distance away from the vehicle traveling ahead.
