hicle speed limit. While the speed limiter is acti-
vated, you can perform normal braking and accel-
eration, but the vehicle will not exceed the set speed.
When the vehicle reaches the set speed limit or if
the set speed limit is lower than the actual vehicle
speed, the accelerator pedal will not work until the
vehicle speed drops below the set speed limit.
When the actual vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed, an audible warning will be heard a short time
after the set speed is exceeded and driver interven-
tion is not detected.
When the speed limiter is on the cruise control sys-
tem cannot be operated.WARNING
•The speed limiter will not automatically brake
the vehicle to the set speed limit.
•Always observe posted speed limits. Do not
set the speed above them.
•Always confirm the setting status of the speed
limiter in the vehicle information display.
•When the speed limiter is set, avoid hard ac-
celeration to reach the set limit to ensure that
the system can limit the speed of the vehicle
correctly.
SPEED LIMITER (where fitted)
5-38Starting and driving

SYSTEM OPERATION
The forward emergency braking system will func-
tion when your vehicle is driven at speeds above
approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the for-
ward emergency braking system will provide the
first warning to the driver by flashing the forward
collision warning light (orange) and providing an au-
dible warning.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully
after the warning, and the forward emergency brak-
ing system detects that there is still the possibility of
a forward collision, the system will automatically in-
crease the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the forward emer-
gency braking system issues the second visual
warning (red) and audible warning. If the driver re-
leases the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-
plies partial braking
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the for-
ward emergency braking system applies harder
braking automatically.
NOTE
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking
is performed by the forward emergency braking
system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway con-
ditions, the system may help the driver avoid a for-ward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences if a collision should one be unavoid-
able.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel, acceler-
ating or braking, the forward emergency braking
system will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the follow-
ing conditions:
•When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-
essary to avoid a collision.
•When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
•When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead.
If the forward emergency braking system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
WARNING
•The radar sensor does not detect the follow-
ing objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the
roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance limi-
tations. If a stationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the forward emergency brakingsystem will not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approximately 45 MPH
(70 km/h).
•The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from travelling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motor-
cycle).
– When driving on a steep downhill slope or
roads with sharp curves.
– When towing a trailer.
•In some road or traffic conditions, the forward
emergency braking system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the accelera-
tor pedal to override the system.
•Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
•Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
•The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor area

of the front bumper such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver properly.
Be sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area of the front bumper regularly
Turning the forward emergency braking
system ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the forward
emergency braking system ON or OFF.
1. Using the
orswitches and the ENTER but-
ton on the left side of the steering wheel, select
the Settings menu in the vehicle information dis-
play. (See “Settings” in the “2. Instruments and

2. Using the
orswitches and the ENTER but-
ton, navigate to the [Driver Assistance] menu,
followed by the [Driving Aids] menu.
3. In the [Driving Aids] menu, highlight the [Emer-
gency Brake] item and use the ENTER button to
toggle between ON (enabled) or OFF (disabled).When the forward emergency braking system is
turned off, the forward emergency braking system
warning light (orange) will illuminate.System temporarily unavailable
Condition A:
When the radar picks up interference from another
radar source, making it impossible to detect a ve-
hicle ahead, the forward emergency braking system
is automatically turned off. The forward emergency
braking system warning light (orange) and the for-
ward collision warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the for-
ward emergency braking system will resume auto-
matically.
Condition B:
When the sensor area of the front bumper is cov-
ered with dirt or obstructed, making it impossible to
detect a vehicle ahead, the forward emergency brak-ing system is automatically turned off. The forward
emergency braking system warning light (orange)
and the forward collision warning light (orange) will
illuminate and the “front radar obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle information dis-
play.
Action to take:
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe location and turn the engine off.
Check to see if the sensor area of the front bumper
is blocked. If the sensor area of the front bumper is
blocked, remove the blocking material. Restart the
engine. If the warning light continues to illuminate,
have the forward emergency braking system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.System malfunction
If the forward emergency braking system malfunc-
tions, it will be turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, the forward emergency braking system
warning light (orange) and the forward collision
warning light (orange) will illuminate and the warn-
ing message [Malfunction] will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe location, turn the engine off and
restart the engine. If the warning light continues to
illuminate, have the forward emergency braking sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.

Your new vehicle was designed to be used primarily
to carry passengers and luggage.
Remember that towing a trailer will place additional
loads on your vehicle’s engine, drive-train, steering,
braking and other systems. Towing a trailer will also
exaggerate other conditions, such as sway caused
by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing
trucks. Driving style and speed must be adjusted
according to the circumstances. Before towing a
trailer, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
for an explanation of towing equipment and its
proper use.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
•Avoid towing a trailer during the running-in
schedule.
•Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch,
safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your vehicle
and trailer. These devices are available from a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop where you
can also obtain more detailed information about
trailer towing.
Heavy-duty kits are available at a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
•It is advisable to contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop for towing details, before
towing a trailer up steep slopes for long dis-
tances.
•Never allow the total trailer load (trailer weight
plus its cargo weight) to exceed the maximum
set for the coupling device.Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
for more information on this matter.
•The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods
are distributed over the axle and as low in the
trailer as possible. Poor load distribution can se-
riously affect the stability of the trailer and tow
vehicle.
•Do not exceed the maximum permitted vertical
load on the trailer hitch.
•Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-
tem of the trailer works properly.
•When towing with 4WD models, the 4WD mode
switch should be in the AUTO position. Using
the vehicle in AUTO mode gives better traction,
particularly when moving off from stationary and/
or on an incline, as the vehicle is less likely to
wheel spin.
•Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and stops.
•Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.
•Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.
•Always block the wheels on both vehicle and
trailer when parking. Apply the handbrake (where
fitted) on the trailer. Parking on a steep slope is
not recommended.
If parking on a steep slope is unavoidable it is
also advisable to put the vehicle into gear, or
select P (Park (XTRONIC models)), and turn the
front wheels into the kerb (in addition to the other
precautions described). Before parking on asteep slope consider the incline (the towing
weights quoted are for a 12% slope).
•Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.
•Have your vehicle serviced more often than at
the intervals specified in the separately provided
Warranty Information and Maintenance booklet.
•Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-
mal circumstances because of a considerable
increase in traction power required and resis-
tance.
•When towing a trailer, observe the following re-
stricted towing speed:
Speed: below 100 km/h (62 MPH)
•Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer
operation.
CAUTION
While towing a trailer, check the engine coolant
temperature gauge regularly to prevent engine
overheating.

MAXIMUM LOAD LIMITS (for Australia)
Maximum trailer loads (including tyres and other
loaded equipment):
1) Never allow the total trailer load to exceed:
Engine –
TransmissionAxle Towing capacity
R9M – CVT 2WD750 kg Trailer without brakes
1400 kg Trailer with brakes
MR20DD – 6MT 2WD716 kg Trailer without brakes
1400 kg Trailer with brakes
MR20DD – CVT 2WD727 kg Trailer without brakes
1200 kg Trailer with brakes
2) The total trailer load must be lower than the fol-
lowing three values, even if it does not exceed
the maximum permissible trailer load:
•Towing capacity displayed on a tow-bar.
•Trailer’s gross vehicle mass marked on a
coupling body.
•Gross vehicle mass marked on a trailer data
plate.
The maximum trailer load that can be towed by your
vehicle depends on the towing equipment fitted to
the vehicle. Therefore, it is important to not only
have the correct equipment fitted, but also to use it
correctly. Towing loads greater than the value speci-
fied for your vehicle or using towing equipment thatis not provided by NISSAN could seriously affect
the handling and/or performance of your vehicle.
Vehicle damage resulting from improper towing pro-
cedures is not covered by NISSAN warranties. In-
formation on trailer towing and the required equip-
ment should be obtained from a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.
Maximum rear gross axle weight
The rear gross axle weight must not exceed the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
Engine – Transmission Axle GAWR
R9M – CVT 2WD 1015 kg
MR20DD – 6MT 2WD 985 kg
MR20DD – CVT 2WD 1000 kg
The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods are
placed over the axle.
Maximum tongue load
Never allow the tongue load to exceed 10% of the
total trailer load. If the tongue load exceeds 10%,
rearrange the cargo in the trailer.
TYRE PRESSURE
When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to the
maximum recommended COLD tyre pressure, as
indicated on the tyre placard (for full loading). Make
sure the trailer tyre pressures are correct.
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer when the vehicle is installed
with a temporary-use spare tyre.
SAFETY CHAINS
Always use a suitable chain between the vehicle
and trailer. The chain should be attached to the hitch
and not to the vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to
leave enough slack in the chain to permit turning
corners. The chain should not drag on the ground:
passing the chain across the trailer hitch may be the
best practice depending on your trailer.
TRAILER BRAKES
Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as required
by local regulations. Also check that all other trailer
equipment conforms to local regulations.
