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
waiting approximately 1 minute..If the electronic parking brake must be
applied while driving in an emergency,
pull up and hold the parking brake
switch. When you release the parking
brake switch, the parking brake will be
released.
.While pulling up the electronic parking
brake switch during driving, the park-
ing brake is applied and a chime
sounds. The electronic parking brake
warning light in the meter and in the
parking brake switch illuminate. This
does not indicate a malfunction. The
electronic parking brake warning light
in the meter and in the parking brake
switch turn off when the parking brake
is released.
.When pulling the electronic parking
brake switch up with the ignition switch
in the OFF or ACC position, the parking
brake switch indicator light will con-
tinue to illuminate for a short period of

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
.The radar sensors may not be able
to detect and activate BSW when
certain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec-
tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adja-
cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.— A vehicle approaching rapidly
from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle
overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through
the detection zone quickly.
— When overtaking several vehi-
cles in a row, the vehicles after
the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling
close together.
.The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar
sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
.The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This
is a normal operation condition.
.The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle
.Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material) , install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles.
.Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
operation
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is
designed to maintain a selected distance and
reduce the speed to match the slower vehicle
ahead. The system will decelerate the vehicle as
necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill.
However, the ICC system can only apply up to
approximately 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain
fairly constant or when vehicle speeds change
gradually. If a vehicle moves into the traveling
lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly
decelerates, the distance between vehicles may
become closer because the ICC system cannot
decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this
occurs, the ICC system will sound a warning
chime and blink the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning chime will
sound if the speed is below approximately 15
MPH (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not detected
ahead. The system will also disengage when the
vehicle goes above the maximum set speed.
See “Approach warning” (P.5-69).The following items are controlled in the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode:
.When there are no vehicles traveling ahead,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
maintains the speed set by the driver. The
set speed range is the following speed.
— 20 and 90 MPH (32 and 144 km/h)
.When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
adjusts the speed to maintain the distance,
selected by driver, from the vehicle ahead.
The adjusting speed range is up to the set
speed. If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,
the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. The system will
cancel once it judges a standstill with a
warning chime.
.When the vehicle traveling ahead has
moved out from its lane of travel, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed
up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle speed
or warn you when you approach stationary and
slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper distance
from vehicles ahead when approaching toll
gates or traffic congestion.
SSD0254
When driving on the freeway at a set speed and
approaching a slower traveling vehicle ahead,
the ICC system will adjust the speed to maintain
the distance, selected by the driver, from the
vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead changes
lanes or exits the freeway, the ICC system will
accelerate and maintain the speed up to the set
speed. Pay attention to the driving operation to
maintain control of the vehicle as it accelerates
to the set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on
winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you will
have to manually control the vehicle speed.
Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically accel-

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.

How to change the set distance to the
vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
*Ais pushed,
the set distance will change to long, middle,
short and back to long again in that sequence.JVS1093X
.The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed.
The higher the vehicle speed, the longer
the distance.
.If the engine is stopped, the set distance
becomes “long”. (Each time the engine is
started, the initial setting becomes “long”.)Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if
another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the
driver with the chime and ICC system display.
Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to
maintain a safe vehicle distance if:

rain, fog, or other bad weather.
Decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal, de-
pending on the distance to the
vehicle ahead and the surrounding
circumstances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
.If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,
the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still within the limitations of the
system. The system will cancel once
it judges that the vehicle has come
to a standstill and sound a warning
chime. To prevent the vehicle from
moving, the driver must depress the
brake pedal.
.Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode of the ICC
system may not be able to maintain
the selected distance between ve-
hicles (following distance) or se-
lected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.
.The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To avoidaccidents, never use the ICC system
under the following conditions:
— On roads where the traffic is
heavy or there are 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 system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the
vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in overheat-
ing the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and downhill
roads
— When traffic conditions make it
difficult to keep a proper dis-
tance between vehicles because
of frequent acceleration or de-
celeration
— Interference by other radar
sources.
.In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedlycome into the sensor detection
zone and cause automatic braking.
You may need to control the dis-
tance from other vehicles using the
accelerator pedal. Always stay alert
and avoid using the ICC system
when it is not recommended in this
section.
The radar sensor will not detect the following
objects:
.Stationary and slow moving vehicles
.Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
.Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
.Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals re-
turned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the
sensor cannot detect the reflection from the
vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not maintain
the selected distance.
The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot detect the signals:
.When the snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s visibility
.When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the cargo area of your
vehicle
The ICC system is designed to automatically
