CAUTION
When parking in an area where the
outside temperature is below 328F
(08C) , do not apply the parking brake
to prevent it from freezing.
For safe parking, place the shift lever in
the 1 (1st) or R (Reverse) position and
securely block the wheels.
NOTE:
.To keep the electronic parking brake
released after the engine is turned off,
place the ignition switch in the OFF
position, depress the brake pedal and
push down the parking brake switch
before opening the driver’s door.
.If a malfunction occurs in the electric
parking brake system (for example, due
to battery discharge) , it is recom-
mended to contact a NISSAN dealer.
Manual operation
The electronic parking brake will not be auto-
matically applied if the engine is stopped without
using the ignition switch (for example, by engine
stalling) . In such a case, you have to apply the
parking brake manually.To apply:Pull the switch up
*1. The indicator
light
*Awill illuminate.
To release:With the ignition switch in the ON
position, depress the brake pedal and push the
switch down
*2. The indicator light*Awill
turn off.
Before driving, check that the electronic parking
brake warning light
goes out. For additional
information, see “Warning lights, indicator lights
and audible reminders” (P.2-10) .
NOTE:
.A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is
driven without releasing the parking
brake. See“Audible reminders”(P.2-
17) .
.While the electronic parking brake is
applied or released, an operating
sound is heard from the lower side of
the rear seat. This is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
.When the electronic parking brake is
frequently applied and released in a
short period of time, the parking brake
may not operate in order to prevent the
parking brake system from overheat-
ing. If this occurs, operate the electro-
nic parking brake switch again after

*1System set display with vehicle ahead
*2System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based
on the road conditions. The ICC system main-
tains the set vehicle speed, similar to standard
cruise control, as long as no vehicle is detected
in the lane ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the brakes
to match the speed of a slower vehicle ahead.
The system then controls the vehicle speed
based on the speed of the vehicle ahead tomaintain the driver selected distance.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
.When the brake operates, a noise may
be heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and
selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle toresume the previously set vehicle speed. The
ICC system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the vehicle
ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC
system is in operation, the system controls the
distance to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) , the system
will be canceled.

.The chime sounds.
.The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
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 blink 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 roads, narrow roads,
hilly roads or when entering or exiting a
curve. In these cases you will have tomanually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage) .
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.
.When the vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed of
15 MPH (24 km/h)
.When the system judges the vehicle is at
standstill
.When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
position or manual shift mode
.When the parking brake is applied
.When the VDC system is turned off
.When VDC (including the traction control
system) operates
.When distance measurement becomes im-
paired due to adhesion of dirt or obstruction
to the sensor
.When a wheel slips

*2Steering-wheel-mounted controls (left side)
*3FEB system warning light (on the meter panel)
FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB system will function when your vehicle
is driven at speeds above approximately 3 MPH
(5 km/h) .
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB system will firstly provide the warning to the
driver by flashing the warning (yellow) in thevehicle information display and providing an
audible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the FEB 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 FEB
system issues the second visual (flashing) (red)
and audible warning. If the driver releases the
accelerator pedal, then the system applies
partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
FEB system applies harder braking automati-
cally.
While the FEB system is operating, you may
hear the sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the FEB system is operating
properly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the FEB system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway
conditions, the system may help the driver avoid
a forward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences of a collision should one be
unavoidable.
Starting and driving5-81

5-82Starting and driving
If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
.When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary to avoid a collision.
.When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
.When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead.
If the FEB system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for approxi-
mately 2 seconds before the brakes are
released.

FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the FEB system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The FEB system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
.The radar sensor does not detect
the following objects:
— Pedestrians, animals or obsta-
cles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
.The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationaryvehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the
FEB system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds over
approximately 50 MPH (80 km/h) .
.The radar sensor may not detect a
vehicle ahead in the following con-
ditions:
— Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor.
— Interference by other radar
sources.
— Snow or road spray from travel-
ing vehicles.
— If the vehicle ahead is narrow
(e.g. motorcycle)
— When driving on a steep down-
hill slope or roads with sharp
curves.
.In some road or traffic conditions,
the FEB system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When accel-
eration is necessary, continue to
depress the accelerator pedal to
override the system.
.The FEB system may react to a
roadside object (traffic sign, guard
rail etc.) ..Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces.
.The system is designed to automa-
tically check the sensor’s function-
ality, within certain limitations. The
system may not detect some forms
of obstruction of the sensor area
such as ice, snow, 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 the sensor area
regularly.
.Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and the
chime may not be heard.
