I-FCW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-FCW system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The I-FCW system cannot detect
all vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensor does not detect
the following objects: — Pedestrians, animals or obsta-
cles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
. (Illustration A) The I-FCW system
does not function when a vehicle
ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as
a motorcycle.
. The radar sensor may not detect
a vehicle ahead in the following
conditions:
— Snow or heavy rain — Dirt, ice, snow or other materi-
al covering the radar sensor
— Interference by other radar sources
— Snow or road spray from tra- velling vehicles.
— Driving in a tunnel
— Towing a trailer
. (Illustration B) When the vehicle
ahead is being towed.
. (Illustration C) When the distance
to the vehicle ahead is too close,
the beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
. (Illustration D) When driving on a
steep downhill slope or roads
with sharp curves.
. 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

.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 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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-
DA system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The I–DA system is only a warning
to inform the driver of a potential
lack of driver attention or drowsi-
ness. It will not steer the vehicle
or prevent loss of control.
. The I–DA system does not detect
and provide an alert of the dri-
ver’s lack of attention or fatigue
in every situation.
. It is the driver’s responsibility to:
— Stay alert.
— Drive safely.
— Keep the vehicle in the travel-
ing lane.
— Be in control of the vehicle at all times.
— Avoid driving when tired.
— Avoid distractions (texting, etc). The I–DA system helps alert the driver if
the system detects a lack of attention or
driving fatigue.
The system monitors driving style and
steering behavior over a period of time,
and it detects changes from the normal
pattern. If the system detects that driver
attention is decreasing over a period of
time, the system uses audible and visual
warnings to suggest that the driver take a
break.
INTELLIGENT DRIVER ALERTNESS (I-DA)

WAF0641X
Example
I-DA SYSTEM OPERATION
If the system detects driver fatigue or that
driver attention is decreasing, the mes-
sage “Take a Break?” appears in the
vehicle information display and a chime
sounds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 37 MPH (60 km/h).
The system continuously monitors driver
attention and can provide multiple warn-
ings per trip.
The system resets and starts reassessing
driving style and steering behavior when
the ignition switch is cycled from the ON
to the OFF position and back to the ON
position.

mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
RAB system could result in serious
injury or death.
. The RAB system is a supplemen-
tal aid to the driver. It is not a
replacement for proper driving
procedures. Always use the side
and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will
move before and while backing
up. Never rely solely on the RAB
system. It is the driver’s respon-
sibility to stay alert, drive safely,
and be in control of the vehicle at
all times.
. There is a limitation to the RAB
system capability. The RAB sys-
tem is not effective in all situa-
tions.
The RAB system can assist the driver
when the vehicle is backing up and
approaching objects directly behind the
vehicle.
REAR AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)

WAF0760X
The RAB system detects obstacles behind
the vehicle using the sonar sensors
located on the rear bumper.
NOTE:
You can temporarily cancel the sonar
function in the vehicle, but the RAB
system will continue to operate. (See
“Front and rear sonar system” (P.5-136).)

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).
