WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

High beam assist indicator
light
The indicator light illuminates when the
headlights come on while the headlight
switch is in the AUTO position with the
high beam selected. This indicates that
the high beam assist system is opera-
tional. (See “High beam assist” (P.2-55).)
High beam indicator light
This light illuminates when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the
low beam is selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes
on steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion control and/or Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also
illuminate steady if the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, or if the vehicle runs out
of fuel. Check to make sure the fuel-filler
cap is installed and closed tightly, and
that the vehicle has at least 3 US gallons
(11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential emission control system malfunction ex-
ists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indi-
cates that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-
18).)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways:
.
Malfunction indicator light on steady
— An emission control system and/or
CVT malfunction has been detected.
Check the fuel-filler cap if the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning appears in the
vehicle information display. If the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tight-
en or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The
light should
turn off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle in-
spected. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service. You
do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking —
An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the emission
control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
2) Avoid hard acceleration or decel- eration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may
stop blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected. It is re-
commended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
and/or CVT system checked and
repaired as necessary could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel econ-
omy, and possible damage to the
emission control system.

above. If an oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle appears in front of your vehicle
when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low
beam automatically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving operation.
The driver should remain alert at
all times, ensure safe driving
practices and switch the high
beams and low beam manually
when necessary.
. The high beam or low beam may
not switch automatically under
the following conditions. Switch
the high beam and low beam
manually.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, wind, etc.).
— When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity of the vehicle.
— When the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle are turned off,
when the color of the light is
affected due to foreign mate-
rials on the lights, or when the
light beam is out of position.
— When there is a sudden, con- tinuous change in brightness.
— When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a
road that has level differ-
ences.
— When driving on a road with many curves.
— When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense
light towards the front of the
vehicle.
— When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is
reflecting intense light.
— When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
— When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured
tire, being towed, etc. .
The timing of switching the low
beam and high beam may
change under the following situa-
tions.
— The brightness of the head-
lights of the oncoming vehicle
or leading vehicle.
— The movement and direction of the oncoming vehicle and
the leading vehicle.
— When only one light on the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is illuminated.
— When the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle is a two-
wheeled vehicle.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the RCTA system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordancewith these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.
Always check surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you
before backing up. The radar
sensors detect approaching
(moving) vehicles. The radar sen- sors cannot detect every object
such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, motor-
cycles, animals or child-oper-
ated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approxi-
mately 19 MPH (30 km/h)
— A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approxi-
mately 5 MPH (8 km/h)
. The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain
situations:
— Illustration
: When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs
the beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration
: When the vehi-
cle is parked in an angled
parking space.
— Illustration
: When the vehi-
cle is parked on inclined
ground.
— Illustration
: When an ap-
proaching vehicle turns into
your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration
: When the angle
formed by your vehicle and
approaching vehicle is small

.Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
The following are some conditions in
which the radar sensor cannot properly
detect a vehicle ahead and the system
may not operate 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
covering 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 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
detection 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 entering 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
following are some conditions in which
the camera may not properly detect a
vehicle and detection of a vehicle ahead
may be delayed:
.
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)

Steering assist limitations
WARNING
.In the following situations, the
camera may not detect lane mar-
kers correctly or may detect lane
markers incorrectly and the
steering assist may not operate
properly:
— When driving on roads where
there are multiple parallel
lane markers, lane markers
that are faded or not painted
clearly, non-standard lane
markers, or lane markers cov-
ered with water, dirt, snow,
etc.
— When driving on roads with discontinued lane markers
— When driving on roads with a widening or narrowing lane
width
— When driving on roads where there are multiple lanes or
unclear lane markers due to
road construction
— When driving on roads where there are sharply contrasting
objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams, or lines remaining
after road repairs (the steer-
ing assist could detect these
items as lane markers)
— When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates
. Do not use the steering assist
under the following conditions
because the system may not
properly detect lane markers.
Doing so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in an
accident.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, dust, etc.)
— When rain, snow, sand, etc., is thrown up by the wheels of
other vehicles
— When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or another object adheres to
the camera unit
— When the lens of the camera unit is foggy
— When strong light (for exam- ple, sunlight or high beams
from oncoming vehicles)
shines on the camera — When the headlights are not
bright due to dirt on the lens
or the headlights are off in
tunnels or darkness
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs (for exam-
ple, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or is under a
bridge)
— When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates or where there are
temporary lane markers be-
cause of road construction
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs
— When driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven
dirt road
— When driving on sharp curves or winding roads
— When driving on repeated up- hill and downhill roads
. Do not use the steering assist
under the following conditions
because the system will not op-
erate properly:
— When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire condi-
