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 I-FCW 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.

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 MPH (15 km/h), the RAB
system operates.
If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is
detected when your vehicle is backing up,
the RAB system warning indicator will
flash in the vehicle information display, a
red frame will appear in the touch screen
display (models with the Intelligent
Around View® Monitor system), and the
system will chime three times. The system
will then automatically apply the brakes.
After the automatic brake application, the
driver must depress the brake pedal to
maintain brake pressure.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the RAB system.
. When the brakes operate, a noise
may be heard. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
. When the “P” key is touched, the
indicator light on the key will turn off
and the the Rear Automatic Braking
(RAB) system will turn off tempora-
rily. The Moving Object Detection
(MOD) (if so equipped), the Intelligent
Back-up Intervention (I-BI) (if so
equipped) and the sonar systems will also be turned off at the same
time.
. When the sonar and MOD systems is
turned off on the settings menu in
the touch screen display, the “P” key
will disappear.
To enable or disable the RAB system,
use the vehicle information display. See
“Turning the RAB system ON/OFF” (P.5-
119).

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sonar sensorsare located on the
rear bumper. Observe the following items
to ensure proper operation of the system:
. Always keep the sonar sensors clean.
. If the sonar sensors are dirty, wipe
them off with a soft cloth while being
careful to not damage them.
. The sonar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such
as splashing water, mist or fog. The
blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt
obstructing the sonar sensors. Check
for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the sonar sensors. .
Do not subject the area around the
sonar sensors to strong impact. Also,
do not remove or disassemble the
sonar sensors. If the sonar sensors
and peripheral areas are deformed in
an accident, etc., have the sonar
sensors checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint on
the sonar sensors and their surround-
ing areas. This may cause a malfunc-
tion or improper operation.
. When washing the vehicle using a
high-pressure washer, do not apply
direct washer pressure on the sonar
sensors. This may cause a malfunction
of the sonar sensors.

CAUTION
.Do not drive the vehicle in the 4HI
or 4LO position on dry hard sur-
face roads. Driving on dry, hard
surfaces in 4HI or 4LO may cause
unnecessary noise, tire wear and
increased fuel consumption.
If the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
warning light turns on when driv-
ing on dry hard surface roads:
— in the 4HI position, shift the
4WD shift switch to AUTO.
— in the 4LO position, stop the vehicle and shift the transmis-
sion lever to the N (Neutral)
position with the brake pedal
depressed and shift the 4WD
shift switch to AUTO.
If the 4WD warning light is still
on after the above operation,
have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
. The transfer case may be da-
maged if you continue driving
with the 4WD warning light blink-
ing. See “On-pavement and off-road driving
precautions” (P.5-9) for other precautions
for off-road driving.
NISSAN ALL-MODE 4WD® SYSTEM
The all mode 4WD system provides 3
positions (AUTO, 4HI and 4LO), so you
can select the desired drive mode accord-
ing to the driving conditions.
4WD shift procedure:
Starting and driving5-125

5-128Starting and driving
The 4WD shift switch is used to select the
4WD mode depending on the driving
conditions. There are 3 types of drive
modes available, AUTO, 4HI and 4LO.
The 4WD shift switch electronically con-
trols the transfer case operation. Rotate
the switch to move between each mode,
AUTO, 4H and 4L.
You must depress the 4WD shift switch
to select 4L, and the vehicle MUST be
stationary and the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position when changing into
or out of 4L.
WARNING
.When parking, apply the parking
brake before stopping the engine
and make sure that the 4WD shift
indicator is on and the ATP warn-
ing light turns off. Otherwise, the
vehicle could unexpectedly move
even if the automatic transmis-
sion is in the P (Park) position.
. The 4LO and 4HI indicators must
stop blinking and the 4LO or 4HI
indicator must remain illumi-
nated or turn off before shifting
the transmission into gear. If the
shift lever is shifted from the N
(Neutral) position to any other gear while the 4LO and 4HI in-
dicators are blinking alternately,
the vehicle may move unexpect-
edly.
CAUTION
.
Never shift the 4WD shift switch
between 4L and 4H while driving.
. The 4HI position provides greater
traction. Avoid excessive speed,
as it will cause increased fuel
consumption and higher oil tem-
peratures, and could damage dri-
vetrain component. Speeds over
62 MPH (100 km/h) in 4HI is not
recommended.
. The 4LO position provides max-
imum traction. Avoid raising ve-
hicle speed excessively, as the
maximum speed is approxi-
mately 31 MPH (50 km/h).
. When driving straight, shift the
4WD shift switch to the AUTO or
4H position. Do not move the 4WD
shift switch when making a turn
or reversing.
. Do not shift the 4WD shift switch
(between AUTO and 4H) while
driving on steep downhill grades. Use the engine brake and low
automatic transmission gears
for engine braking.
. Do not operate the 4WD shift
switch (between AUTO and 4H)
with the rear wheels spinning.
. Do not drive on dry hard surface
roads in the 4HI or 4LO position.
Driving on dry hard surfaces in
4HI or 4LO may cause unneces-
sary noise and tire wear. NISSAN
recommends driving in the AUTO
position under these conditions.
. The 4WD transfer case may not
be shifted between 4HI and 4LO
at low ambient temperatures and
the 4LO and 4HI indicators may
blink even when the 4WD shift
switch is shifted. After driving for
a while you can change the 4WD
shift switch between 4H and 4L.
When driving on rough roads,
. Drive carefully according to the road
surface conditions.
When the vehicle is stuck,
. Place stones or wooden blocks under
the tires to free the vehicle.
. Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4L.

5-130Starting and driving
.Never shift the 4WD shift switch
between 4L and 4H while driving.
. Engine idling speed is high while
warming up the engine. Be espe-
cially careful when starting or
driving on slippery surfaces with
the 4WD shift switch in AUTO.
