brake NISSAN MAXIMA 2020 Owner´s Manual

∙ If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,the vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system.
The system will cancel once it judges
that the vehicle has come to a stand-
still and sound a warning chime. To
prevent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake pedal.
∙ Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manu-
ally control the proper following dis-
tance. The ICC system may not be able
to maintain the selected distance be-
tween vehicles (following distance) or
selected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.
∙ The system may not detect the ve- hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system under
the following conditions:
– On roads where the traffic is heavy or there are sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) – When rain, snow or dirt adhere to
the bumper around the distance
sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the ve- hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
– When traffic conditions make it dif- ficult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of fre-
quent acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources
∙ Do not use the ICC system if you are towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
∙ In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Always
stay alert and avoid using the ICC sys-
tem where not recommended in this
warning section. The radar sensor will not detect the follow-
ing objects:
∙ Stationary and slow moving vehicles
∙ Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
∙ Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
∙ Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore,
if the sensor cannot detect the reflection
from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system
may not maintain the selected distance.
The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot properly detect a ve-
hicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly: ∙ When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.
∙ When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
∙ When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of
your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitations of the system.

To set cruising speed, accelerate your ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the SET-
C
switch and release it. (The color of the
cruise indicator changes to green and set
vehicle speed indicator comes on.) Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the pre-
viously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep
hills. If this happens, manually maintain
vehicle speed. To cancel the preset speed, use any of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the ICC switch off. Both the cruise indicator and vehicle speed indicator
will turn off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods: 1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET- switch.
2. Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
release the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h). To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the SET- switch and release it.
2. Push and hold the SET- switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.
3. Push, then quickly release the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will decrease by about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the RES+ switch. The vehicle will re-
sume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shif t 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 center display (for
vehicles with the Intelligent Around View
Monitor system), and the system will chime
three times. The system will then auto-
matically apply the brakes. Af ter the auto-
matic brake application, the driver must
depress the brake pedal to maintain brake
pressure.

RAB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the RAB system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper
use of the RAB system could result in
serious injury or death.
∙ When the vehicle approaches an ob- stacle while the accelerator or brake
pedal is depressed, the function may
not operate or the start of operation
may be delayed. The RAB system may
not operate or may not perform suffi-
ciently due to vehicle conditions, driv-
ing conditions, the traffic environ-
ment, the weather, road surface
conditions, etc. Do not wait for the
system to operate. Operate the brake
pedal by yourself as soon as
necessary.
∙ If it is necessary to override RAB op- eration, strongly press the accelerator
pedal. ∙ Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you be-
fore and while backing up. The RAB
system detects stationary objects be-
hind the vehicle. The RAB system does
not detect the following objects:
– Moving objects
– Low objects
– Narrow objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Objects close to the bumper (less than approximately 1 f t [30 cm])
– Objects that suddenly appear
– Thin objects such as rope, wire, chain, etc.
∙ The RAB system may not operate for the following obstacles:
– Obstacles located high off the ground
– Obstacles in a position offset from your vehicle
– Obstacles, such as spongy materi- als or snow, that have sof t outer
surfaces and can easily absorb a
sound wave
5-88Starting and driving

∙ The RAB system may not operate inthe following conditions:
– There is rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc., at- tached to the sonar sensors.
– A loud sound is heard in the area around the vehicle.
– The surface of the obstacle is di- agonal to the rear of the vehicle.
∙ The RAB system may unintentionally operate in the following conditions:
– There is overgrown grass in the area around the vehicle.
– There is a structure (e.g., a wall, toll gate equipment, a narrow tunnel, a
parking lot gate) near the side of
the vehicle.
– There are bumps, protrusions, or manhole covers on the road
surface.
– The vehicle drives through a draped flag or a curtain.
– There is an accumulation of snow or ice behind the vehicle. – An ultrasonic wave source, such as
another vehicle’s sonar, is near the
vehicle.
∙ Once the automatic brake control op- erates, it does not operate again if the
vehicle approaches the same
obstacle.
∙ The automatic brake control can only operate for a short period of time.
Therefore, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.
∙ In the following situations, the RAB system may not operate properly or
may not function sufficiently:
– The vehicle is driven in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
– The vehicle’s posture is changed (e.g., when driving over a bump).
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
– The vehicle is turned sharply by turning the steering wheel fully.
– Snow chains are used. – Wheels or tires other than NISSAN
recommended are used.
– The brakes are cold at low ambient temperatures or immediately af ter
driving has started.
– The braking force becomes poor due to wet brakes af ter driving
through a puddle or washing the
vehicle.
∙ Turn the RAB system off in the follow- ing conditions to prevent the occur-
rence of an unexpected accident re-
sulting from sudden system
operation:
– The vehicle is towed.
– The vehicle is carried on a flatbed truck.
– The vehicle is on the chassis dynamometer.
– The vehicle drives on an uneven road surface.

2. AEB with Pedestrian Detection emer-gency warning indicator
3. AEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light
AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATION
The AEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). For the pe-
destrian detection function, the system
operates at speeds between6–37mph(10
– 60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will firstly provide the warning to the driver
by flashing the vehicle ahead detection in-
dicator (yellow) in the vehicle information
display and providing an audible alert. If the
driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully af ter the warning, and the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system detects that
there is still the possibility of a forward col-
lision, the system will automatically in-
crease the braking force.
LSD2773
5-92Starting and driving

If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues
the second visual (flashing) (red and white)
and audible warning. If the driver releases
the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-
plies partial braking. If the risk of a collision
becomes imminent, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system applies harder
braking automatically.
While the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is operating, you may hear the
sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system is operating properly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well
as driving and roadway conditions, the sys-
tem may help the driver avoid a forward
collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences if a collision should be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system will function
later or will not function.The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
∙ When the steering wheel is turned to avoid a collision.
∙ When the accelerator pedal is de- pressed.
∙ When there is no longer a vehicle or a pedestrian detected ahead.
If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle
will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.
