WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the I-DA
system could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The I–DA system is only a warning toinform the driver of a potential lack of
driver attention or drowsiness. It will
not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of
control.
∙ The I–DA system does not detect and provide an alert of the driver’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 travelinglane,
∙ 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 driv-
ing 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
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.
∙ The I-DA system may not operateproperly and may not provide an alert
in the following conditions:
– Poor road conditions such as an uneven road surface or pot holes.
– Strong side wind.
– If you have adopted a sporty driv- ing style with higher cornering
speeds or higher rates of
acceleration.
– Frequent lane changes or changes to vehicle speed.
∙ The I–DA system will not provide an alert in the following conditions:
– Vehicle speeds lower than 37 mph (60 km/h).
– Short lapses of attention.
– Instantaneous distractions such as dropping an object.
System malfunction
If the Intelligent Driver Alertness system
malfunctions, the system warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle information
display and the function will be stopped
automatically.
Action to take
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in P (Park) position, turn the engine
off and restart the engine. If the system
warning message continues to appear,
have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
