INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury
or death.
. The ICC system is only an aid to
assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance
device. It is recommended for
highway use only and it is not
intended for city driving. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, and be in con-
trol of the vehicle at all times.
. There are limitations to the ICC
system capability. The ICC system
does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather, and road condi-
tions. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
. Always observe posted speed
limits and do not set the speed
over them. .
The ICC system does not react to
stationary and slow moving vehi-
cles.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ICC system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using
the ICC system. To avoid serious
injury or death, do not rely on the
system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in
emergency situations. Do not
use the ICC system except in
appropriate road and traffic con-
ditions.
ICC system operation
The ICC system is designed to maintain a
selected distance from the vehicle in front
of you and can reduce the speed to
match a slower vehicle ahead. The sys-
tem decelerates 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 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
Starting and driving5-75

.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)

ICC system malfunction
If the ICC system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, and the speed control status
warning (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
If the warning illuminates, stop the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart
the engine and set the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the ICC system or
the warning stays on, it may be a
malfunction. Although the normal driving
can be continued, the ICC system should
be inspected. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
ICC sensor maintenance
The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating prop-
erly, be sure to observe the following:
.Always keep the sensor area clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the sensor.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the sensor. This could
cause failure or malfunction.
. Do not attach metallic objects near
the sensor area (brush guard, etc.).
This could cause failure or malfunc- tion.
. Do not alter, remove, or paint the front
bumper.
Before customizing or restoring the front
bumper, it is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer.
The camera sensor is located above the
inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the
systems and prevent a system malfunc-
tion, be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting
the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
the camera lens or remove the screw
located on the camera unit.
If the camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer.
STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
steering assist could result in serious
injury or death.
. The steering assist is not a repla-
cement for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to
correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving. The
steering assist will not always
steer the vehicle to keep it in the
lane. It is not designed to prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the
traveling lane, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times.
. As there is a performance limit to
the steering assist’s capability,
never rely solely on the system.
The steering assist does not func-
tion in all driving, traffic, weather,
and road conditions. Always drive
safely, pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle, and manu-
ally control your vehicle
appropriately.

.The steering assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways
or highways with gentle (moder-
ate) curves. To avoid risk of an
accident,do not use this system
on local or non-highway roads.
. The steering assist only steers
the vehicle to maintain its posi-
tion in the center of a lane. The
vehicle will not steer to avoid
objects in the road in front of
the vehicle or to avoid a vehicle
moving into your lane.
. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all
times. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel when driving.
Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the steering
assist. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly be-
fore using the steering assist. To
avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent
accidents or to control the vehi-
cle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the steering assist except in appropriate road
and traffic conditions.
Steering assist operation
The steering assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The
steering assist is combined with the
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system.
For additional information, see “Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC)” (P.5-75).
The steering assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
.
The ICC system is activated.
. Lane markers on both sides are clearly
detected.
. A vehicle ahead is detected (when the
vehicle is driven at speeds under 37
MPH (60 km/h)).
. The driver grips the steering wheel.
. The vehicle is driven at the center of
the lane.
. The turn signals are not operated.
. The windshield wiper is not operated
in the high speed operation (the
steering assist function is disabled
after the wiper operates for approxi-
mately 10 seconds).

Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
When a curve or strong cross wind
exceeds the capabilities of the Steering
Assist and your vehicle approaches either
the left or the right side of the traveling
lane, a warning chime sounds and the I-LI
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel flashes to alert the driver. Then, the
I-LI system automatically applies the
brakes for a short period of time to help
assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane. This
action is in addition to any Steering Assist
actions. For more information, see “Intel-
ligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)” (P.5-40).
