NISSAN PATHFINDER 2023 Owners Manual

When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicator
OAflashes when the ve-
hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator turns off
when the area ahead of the vehicle is open.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-
turns to the previously set speed. Even
though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator
pedal when it is necessary to accelerate
your vehicle rapidly.
Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may in-
form the driver by flashing the vehicle
ahead detection indicator.
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:
• The chime sounds.
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
• You judge it necessary to maintain a safe distance.
The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:
• When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing. • When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is
increasing.
• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when:
• Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over- riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may flash when
the radar sensor detects objects on the
side of the vehicle or on the side of the
road. This may cause the ICC system to
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The
radar sensor may detect these objects
when the vehicle is driven on winding,
narrow, or hilly roads or when the vehicle
is entering or exiting a curve. In these
cases, you will have to manually control
the proper distance ahead of your
vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle conditions (for ex-
ample, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above 44
mph and following a slower vehicle (below
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-
vated to the lef t, the ICC system will auto-
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to
help initiate passing on the lef t and will
begin to reduce the distance to vehicle di-
rectly ahead. Only the lef t side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers
the vehicle and moves into the passing
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC
system will continue to accelerate to the
ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the following speed of that ve-
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the
lef t lane to pass, the acceleration will stop
af ter a short time and regain the set follow-
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped
at any point by depressing the brake pedal
or the CANCEL switch on the steering
wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a collision
that may result in serious injury or
death, please be aware of the following:
• This function is only activated with
the lef t turn signal and will briefly ac-
celerate the vehicle even if a lane
change is not initiated. This can in-
clude non-passing situations such as
lef t side exits.
• Ensure that when passing another
vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear be-
fore initiating the pass. Sudden
changes in traffic may occur while
passing- always manually steer or
brake as needed- never solely rely on
the system.
Speed Limit Assist-afe ature of
ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (if
so equipped)
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active and it detects a change of the speed
limit, the new speed limit is indicated and it
can be applied to the vehicle set speed
automatically or manually. The Speed Limit Assist operates:
• When the detected speed limit is 20 mph
(30 km/h) and above.
• The “Spd. Limit Assist” is enabled in the settings menu of the vehicle information
display.
NOTE:
•While the accelerator pedal is operated
with AUTO mode selected, the Speed
Limit Assist will function (automatically
adjusts the vehicle set speed) only
when the detected speed limit is faster
than the vehicle set speed.
• In the following situations, the Speed
Limit Assist will not operate: – When an increase in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the ve-
hicle set speed is already faster than
the new speed limit.
– When a decrease in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the ve-
hicle set speed is already lower than
the new speed limit.

Speed Adjust by Rout e-afeature
of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (if
so equipped)
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active on a limited access freeway (as iden-
tified in the navigation map data), the
Speed Adjust by Route uses road informa-
tion provided by the navigation system
and can adjust the vehicle speed depend-
ing on curves, junctions or exits and the
driver may need to apply additional brak-
ing at any time.
When the vehicle is through the curve or
junction, the vehicle will accelerate again to
the set speed. When exiting the limited ac-
cess freeway, the driver will need to apply
braking at the end of the exit.
NOTE:
• The system does not operate when the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
• The system may not operate depend-
ing on the set distance to the vehicle
ahead and vehicles detected ahead.

ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death:

5-112Starting and driving

•The ICC system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.
• The ICC system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the system
on roads with sharp curves or on icy
roads, in heavy rain or in fog.
• As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive
or absentminded driving or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
• When the ICC system automatically
brings the car to a stop, your vehicle
can automatically accelerate if the
vehicle is stopped for less than ap-
proximately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary. •
Always check surroundings before
restarting the vehicle.
• Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The ICC system may not
be able to maintain the selected dis-
tance between 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 un-
der the following conditions:
– On roads with heavy, high-speed
traffic or 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
difficult to keep a proper distance
between 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. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the
ICC system where not recommended
in this warning section.
Starting and driving5-113

The ICC system will not detect the following
objects:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travellane
The following are some conditions in which
the radar sensor cannot properly detect a
vehicle ahead and the system may not op-
erate properly:
• When the sensor detection is reduced (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust
storms, sandstorms, and road spray from
other vehicles)
• Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves
• Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road
• If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cover- ing the radar sensor area
• A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is
near the vehicle ahead.
• Interference by other radar sources
• 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 radar sensor’s operation
within the limitations of the system.
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the ICC system to maintain
the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside
of the detection zone due to its position
within the same lane of travel. Motorcycles
may not be detected in the same lane
ahead if they are traveling offset from the
center line of the lane. A vehicle that is en-
tering the lane ahead may not be detected
until the vehicle has completely moved into
the lane.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have
to manually control the proper distance
away from the vehicle traveling ahead. The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses
a multi-sensing front camera. The follow-
ing are some conditions in which the cam-
era may not properly detect a vehicle and
detection of a vehicle ahead may be de-
layed:
• Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,
snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and
road spray from other vehicles)
• The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.
• Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) enters
the front camera
• A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning
flashes)

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, 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 ve-
hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the
radar system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and sound-
ing the chime unexpectedly. You will have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.
System Temporarily Unavailable
The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to
maintain the selected following distance
from the vehicle ahead.Condition A

• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed
of 15 mph (24 km/h). For ProPILOT Assist
with Navi-link equipped vehicles on a lim-
ited access freeway as identified in the
navigation map data, the ICC system
cancels and a warning chime sounds if
your vehicle is at a standstill for more
than approximately 3 seconds and a ve-
hicle is not detected ahead.
