fog NISSAN PATHFINDER 2023 Owner's Guide

•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).

Condition B:
When there is inclement weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.) blocking the front radar sensor,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will be canceled, the chime will sound and
the “Forward Driving Aids temporarily dis-
abled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s
Manual” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, the warning message will
no longer be available in the vehicle infor-
mation display. If the “Forward Driving Aids
temporarily disabled Front Sensor Blocked
See Owner’s Manual” warning message
continues to be displayed, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Condition C:
When the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system is off, the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection brake will not operate. In this case
only visible and audible warning operates.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
OFF warning light (orange) will illuminate.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A
When the radar sensor picks up interfer-
ence from another radar source, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the
I-FCW system is automatically turned off.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
OFF warning light (orange) will flash.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the I-FCW system will resume
automatically.
Condition B
When there is inclement weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.) blocking the front radar sensor,
the I-FCW system will automatically be
canceled and the “Forward Driving Aids
temporarily disabled Front Sensor Blocked
See Owner’s Manual” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display.

•The system is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects. Always move slowly. The
system will not detect small objects
below the bumper or on the ground.
• The system may not detect the fol-
lowing objects: fluff y objects such as
snow, cloth, cotton, glass-wool, etc.;
thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc.; or wedge-shaped objects;
complex-shaped objects or multiple
objects in close.
• The sonar system may not detect ob-
jects at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular
or moving objects.
• The sonar system may not operate in
the following conditions:
– When rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc. ad- heres to the sonar.
– When a loud sound is heard in the area around the vehicle.
– When the surface of the obstacle is diagonal to the front or rear of
the vehicle.
– When a sonar or the area around the sensor is extremely hot or
cold. •
The sonar system may unintention-
ally operate in the following condi-
tions:
– When there is overgrown grass in the area around the vehicle.
– When there are bumps, protru- sions or manhole covers on the
road surface.
– When the vehicle drives through a draped flag or a curtain.
– When there is an accumulation of snow or ice behind the vehicle.
– When driving on a steep hill.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When sonar blockage is detected, the sys-
tem will be deactivated automatically.
The system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
The sonar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog. The blocked condi-
tion may also be caused by objects such as
ice, frost or dirt obstructing the sonar
sensors.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sonar sensorsOAandOBare located
on the front and rear bumpers.
• Always keep the area near the sonar sen- sors clean.
LSD4339
5-188Starting and driving

• If the sonar sensors are dirty, wipe themoff with a sof t 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 ob-
jects obstructing the area around the so-
nar sensors.
• Do not subject the area around the sonar sensors to strong impact. Also, do not
remove or disassemble the sonar sen-
sors. If the sonar sensors and peripheral
areas are deformed in an accident, etc.,
have the sonar sensors checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
• Do not attach stickers (including trans- parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint on the sonar sen-
sors and their surrounding areas. This
may cause a malfunction 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 so-
nar sensors. The Idling Stop System activates to prevent
unnecessary fuel consumption, exhaust
emissions and noise.
• When you stop the vehicle, the engine is
turned off automatically.
• When you release the brake pedal to be- gin moving again, the engine is turned on
automatically.
WARNING
The engine restarts if the vehicle
moves at approximately 1 mph (2
km/h) or more (on a downhill grade,
etc.) while the engine is turned off by
the Idling Stop System. Depress the
brake pedal immediately to stop the
vehicle to prevent an accident.
CAUTION
At the end of the journey the engine
must be stopped and ignition switch be
pushed off. Lock the vehicle as normal.
Pushing the ignition switch off will shut
down all electrical systems. Failure to
do this may result in a discharged
battery.
NOTE:
The Idling Stop System will not activate
under the following conditions:
• When the vehicle is in TOW mode.
• When the engine is kept idling without
the vehicle being driven af ter the en-
gine is turned on.
• When the engine coolant temperature
is low.
• When the battery capacity is low.
• When the battery temperature is low.
• When the vehicle is moving.
• When a negative pressure booster
decreases.
• When the engine hood is opened with
the engine running.
• When the engine is turned on with the
engine hood open.
• When the driver’s seat belt is not
fastened.
• When the driver’s door is open.
• When the steering wheel is operated.
• When the Idling Stop System indicator
blinks at a low speed.
• When the fan speed control is in any
position other than “OFF,” (0) while the
air flow control is in the front defroster
position.
