.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

*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.

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.

speeds between 6 – 37 MPH (10 – 60 km/h) .
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB with pedestrian detection system will firstly
provide the warning to the driver by flashing the
warning (yellow) in the vehicle information dis-
play and providing an audible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the FEB with
pedestrian detection 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 with
pedestrian detection 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 with pedestrian detection system applies
harder braking automatically.
While the FEB with pedestrian detection system
is operating, you may hear the sound of brake
operation. This is normal and indicates that the
FEB with pedestrian detection system is oper-
ating properly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the FEB withpedestrian detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle or pedestrian 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.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB with pedestrian
detection 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 or
pedestrian detected ahead.
If the FEB with pedestrian detection system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.

CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) ,
follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and econo-
my of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and
reduced engine performance.
.Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
.Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
.Avoid quick starts.
.Avoid hard braking as much as possible.Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator and brake pedal
application.
.Avoid rapid starts and stops..Use smooth, gentle accelerator and
brake application whenever possible.
.Maintain constant speed while commut-
ing and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.Look ahead to try and anticipate and
minimize stops.
.Synchronizing your speed with traffic
lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.
.Maintaining a steady speed can minimize
red light stops and improve fuel effi-
ciency.
3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher vehicle
speeds.
.Below 40 MPH (64 km/h) , it is more
efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
.Above 40 MPH (64 km/h) , it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.
.Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.
4. Drive at economical speeds and distances.
.Observing the speed limit and not ex-
ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where
legally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.
.Maintaining a safe following distance
behind other vehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
.Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
.Select a gear range suitable to road
conditions.
5. Use cruise control.
.Using cruise control during highway
driving helps maintain a steady speed.
.Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.
6. Plan for the shortest route.
.Utilize a map or navigation system to
determine the best route to save time.
7. Avoid idling.
.Shutting off your engine when safe for
stops exceeding 30-60 seconds saves

Push the switch on to warn other drivers when
you must stop or park under emergency condi-
tions. All turn signal lights will flash.
WARNING
.If stopping for an emergency, be
sure to move the vehicle well off the
road.
.Do not use the hazard warning
flashers while moving on the high-
way unless unusual circumstances
force you to drive so slowly that
your vehicle might become a hazardto other traffic.
.Turn signals do not work when the
hazard warning flasher lights are
on.
The flasher can be actuated with the ignition
switch in any position.
Some state laws may prohibit the use of
the hazard warning flasher switch while
driving.In the event of a roadside emergency, Roadside

HAZARD WARNING FLASHER
SWITCHROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM

To shut off the engine in an emergency situation
while driving, perform the following procedure:
.Rapidly push the push-button ignition switch
3 consecutive times in less than 1.5
seconds, or
.Push and hold the push-button ignition
switch for more than 2 seconds.TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) . It monitors tire
pressure of all tires except the spare. When
the low tire pressure warning light is lit, and the
“Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning message
is displayed in the vehicle information display,
one or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn you of
it by the low tire pressure warning light. This
system will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) . For
more details, see “Warning lights, indicator
lights and audible reminders” (P.2-10) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5) .
WARNING
.If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. Driving with under-inflated tires
may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tirefailure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the light still illuminates
while driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
.Since the spare tire is not equipped
with the TPMS, when a spare tire is
mounted or a wheel is replaced, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash
for approximately 1 minute. The
light will remain on after 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
.Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
