–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.
– The vehicle is towing an object (if
so equipped).
– Suspension parts other than
those designated as Genuine
NISSAN parts are used. (If the ve-
hicle height or the vehicle body in-
clination is changed, the system
may not detect an obstacle
correctly.)
– If the vehicle is using an accessory
like a bike rack, or cargo carrier
that blocks the sensors. •
Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB system
warning light will illuminate, and the “Mal-
function” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
Action to take
If the warning light illuminates, park the ve-
hicle in a safe location, turn the engine off,
and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the RAB sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
NOTE:
If the RAB system cannot be operated
temporarily, the RAB system warning
light blinks.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Observe the following items to ensure
proper operation of the system:
• Always keep the parking sensors
O1
clean.
• If the parking sensors are dirty, wipe them off with a sof t cloth while being careful to
not damage them.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATION1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. AEB with Pedestrian Detection emer-gency warning indicator 3. AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
OFF warning light
The AEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). For the pe-
destrian and cyclist detection function, the
system operates at speeds betwee n6–37
mph (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 indica-
tor (yellow) in the vehicle information display
and providing an audible alert. If the driver
applies the brakes quickly and forcefully af ter
the warning, and the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system detects that there is still the
possibility of a forward collision, the system
will automatically increase the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system issues the sec-
ond visual (flashing) (red and white) and au-
dible warning. If the driver releases the accel-
erator pedal, then the system applies partial
braking. If the risk of a collision becomes im-
minent, the AEB with Pedestrian 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, pedestrian or cyclist ahead,
as well as driving and roadway conditions,
the system may help the driver avoid a
forward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences if a collision should be un-
avoidable. If the driver is handling the steer-
ing wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system function
will be delayed or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
• When the steering wheel is turned toavoid a collision.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• 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.

•The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not detect the following
objects:
– Pedestrians that are small (for ex- ample, children), in a sitting posi-
tion, operating toys/skateboards,
on scooters or in wheelchairs, or
not in an upright standing or
walking position.
– Animals of any size.
– Obstacles (for example, cargo or debris) on the roadway or
roadside.
– Oncoming or crossing vehicles.
– Vehicles where the tires are diffi- cult to see or the shape of the rear
of the vehicle is unclear or
obstructed.
– Parked vehicles.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system has some performance limi-
tations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the ve-
hicle’s path, the system will not
function when the vehicle ap-
proaches the stationary vehicle at
speeds over approximately 50
mph (80 km/h). –
Pedestrian and cyclist detection
will not function when the vehicle
is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h) or below
approximately 6 mph (10km/h).
• For pedestrians, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not issue
the first warning.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may not function properly or
detect a vehicle, pedestrians or cy-
clists ahead in the following condi-
tions:
– In poor visibility conditions (such
as rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sand storms, smoke, and road
spray from other vehicles).
– If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other ma-
terial is covering the radar sensor
area or camera area of
windshield.
– If a strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams) enters the
front camera or a sudden change
in brightness occurs (for example,
entering a tunnel or driving in
lightning). –
In dark or dimly lit conditions,
such as at night or in tunnels, in-
cluding cases where your vehi-
cle’s headlights are off or dim, or
the tail lights of the vehicle ahead
are off.
– When the direction of the camera
is misaligned.
– When driving on a steep downhill
slope, on roads with sharp curves,
and/or bumpy or dirt roads.
– If there is interference by other ra-
dar sources.
– When your vehicle’s position or
movement is changed quickly or
significantly (for example, lane
change, turning vehicle, abrupt
steering, sudden acceleration or
deceleration).
– When your vehicle or the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist ahead moves
quickly or significantly such that
the system cannot detect and re-
act in time (for example, pedes-
trian moving quickly toward the
vehicle at close range, vehicle cut-
ting in, changing lanes, making a
turn, steering abruptly, sudden
acceleration or deceleration).
5-142Starting and driving

–When the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist is offset from the vehicle’s
forward path.
– If the speed difference between
the two vehicles is small.
– The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable;
for example, due to transporting
luggage, pushing a stroller, wear-
ing bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories, or being
in a unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).
– There is poor contrast of a person
to the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
– For approximately 15 seconds af-
ter starting the engine.
– If the vehicle ahead has a unique
or unusual shape, extremely low
or high clearance heights, or un-
usual cargo loading or is narrow
(for example, a motorcycle).
– When the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist is located near a traffic
sign, a reflective area (for ex-
ample, water on road), or is in a
shadow. –
When multiple pedestrians or cy-
clists are grouped together.
– When the view of the pedestrian
or cyclist is obscured by a vehicle
or other object.
– While towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
• The system performance may be de-
graded in the following conditions:
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
– The vehicle is driven on a slope.
– Excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the
cargo area of your vehicle.
• The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s (radar and
camera) functionality, within certain
limitations. The system may not de-
tect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow or
stickers, for example. In these cases,
the system may not be able to warn
the driver properly. Be sure that you
check, clean and clear sensor areas
regularly. •
In some road and traffic conditions,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may unexpectedly apply par-
tial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may operate when a pattern,
object, shadow or lights are detected
that are similar to the outline of ve-
hicles, pedestrians or cyclists, or if
they are the same size and position
as a vehicle or motorcycle’s tail
lights.
• The system may keep operating
when the vehicle ahead is turning
right or lef t.
• The system may operate when your
vehicle is approaching and passing a
vehicle ahead.
• Depending on the road shape
(curved road, entrance and exit of the
curve, winding road, lane regulation,
under construction, etc.), the system
may operate temporarily for the on-
coming vehicle in front of your
vehicle.
