I-FCW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-FCW system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The I-FCW 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
. (Illustration A) The I-FCW system
does not function when a vehicle
ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as
a motorcycle.
. The radar sensor may not detect
a vehicle ahead in the following
conditions:
— Snow or heavy rain — Dirt, ice, snow or other materi-
al covering the radar sensor
— Interference by other radar sources
— Snow or road spray from tra- velling vehicles.
— Driving in a tunnel
. (Illustration B) When the vehicle
ahead is being towed.
. (Illustration C) When the distance
to the vehicle ahead is too close,
the beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
. (Illustration D) When driving on a
steep downhill slope or roads
with sharp curves.
. The system is designed to auto-
matically check the sensor’s func-
tionality, 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 prop-
erly. Be sure that you check, clean
and clear the sensor area regu-
larly.

.Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard.
SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as
winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or
roads which are under construction, the
radar sensor may detect vehicles in a
different lane, or may temporarily not
detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This
may cause the I-FCW system to work
inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or traveling position in the
lane, etc.) or vehicle condition. If this
occurs, the system may warn you by
blinking the vehicle ahead detection
indicator and sounding the chime un-
expectedly. You will have to manually
control the proper distance away from the vehicle traveling ahead.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
RAB system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The RAB system is a supplemen-
tal aid to the driver. It is not a
replacement for proper driving
procedures. Always use the side
and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will
move before and while backing
up. Never rely solely on the RAB
system. It is the driver’s respon-
sibility to stay alert, drive safely,
and be in control of the vehicle at
all times.
. There is a limitation to the RAB
system capability. The RAB sys-
tem is not effective in all situa-
tions.
The RAB system can assist the driver
when the vehicle is backing up and
approaching objects directly behind the
vehicle.
WAF0077X
The RAB system detects obstacles behind
the vehicle using the rear sonarlocated
on the rear bumper.
NOTE:
You can temporarily cancel the sonar
function in the vehicle, but the RAB
system will continue to operate. For
additional information, see “Rear Sonar
System (RSS)” (P.5-136).

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 MPH (15 km/h), the RAB
system operates.
If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is
detected when your vehicle is backing up,the RAB system warning indicator will
flash in the vehicle information display, a
red frame will appear in the center display
(models with the Intelligent Around
View
Monitor system), and the system
will chime three times. The system will
then automatically apply the brakes. After
the automatic brake application, the dri-
ver must depress the brake pedal to
maintain brake pressure.
NOTE:
. The stop lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the RAB system.
. When the brakes operate, a noise
may be heard. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
TURNING THE RAB SYSTEM ON/OFF

RAB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the RAB system. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the RAB system
could result in serious injury or
death.
. When the vehicle approaches an
obstacle while the accelerator or

brake pedal is depressed, the
function may not operate or the
start of the operation may be
delayed. The RAB system may
not operate or may not perform
sufficiently due to vehicle condi-
tions, driving conditions, the traf-
fic environment, the weather,
road surface conditions, etc. Do
not wait for the system to oper-
ate. Operate the brake pedal by
yourself as soon as necessary.
. If it is necessary to override RAB
operation, strongly press the ac-
celerator pedal.
. Always check your surroundings
and turn to check what is behind
you before and while backing up.
The RAB system detects station-
ary objects behind the vehicle.
The RAB system does not detect
the following objects:
— Moving objects
— Low objects
— Narrow objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Objects close to the bumper
(less than approximately 1 ft
[30 cm]) — Objects that suddenly appear
— Thin objects such as rope,
wire, chain, etc.
. The RAB system may not operate
for the following obstacles:
— Obstacles located high off the
ground
— Obstacles in a position offset from your vehicle
— Obstacles, such as spongy materials or snow, that have
soft outer surfaces and can
easily absorb a sound wave
. The RAB system may not operate
in the following conditions:
— There is rain, snow, ice, dirt,
etc., attached to the sonar
sensors.
— A loud sound is heard in the area around the vehicle.
— The surface of the obstacle is diagonal to the rear of the
vehicle.
. The RAB system may uninten-
tionally operate in the following
conditions:
— There is overgrown grass in
the area around the vehicle. — There is a structure (e.g., a
wall, toll gate equipment, a
narrow tunnel, a parking lot
gate) near the side of the
vehicle.
— There are bumps, protrusions, or manhole covers on the
road surface.
— The vehicle drives through a draped flag or a curtain.
— There is an accumulation of snow or ice behind the vehi-
cle.
— An ultrasonic wave source, such as another vehicle’s so-
nar, is near the vehicle.
. Once the automatic brake control
operates, it does not operate
again if the vehicle approaches
the same obstacle.
. The automatic brake control can
only operate for a short period of
time. Therefore, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
. In the following situations, the
RAB system may not operate
properly or may not function
sufficiently:
Starting and driving5-119

5-120Starting and driving
— The vehicle is driven in badweather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
— The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
— The vehicle’s posture is chan- ged (e.g., when driving over a
bump).
— The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
— The vehicle is turned sharply by turning the steering wheel
fully.
— Snow chains are used.
— Wheels or tires other than NISSAN recommended are
used.
— The brakes are cold at low ambient temperatures or im-
mediately after driving has
started.
— The braking force becomes poor due to wet brakes after
driving through a puddle or
washing the vehicle.
. Turn the RAB system off in the
following conditions to prevent
the occurrence of an unexpected
accident resulting from sudden
system operation: — The vehicle is towed.
— The vehicle is carried on a
flatbed truck.
— The vehicle is on the chassis dynamometer.
— The vehicle drives on an un- even road surface.
— Suspension parts other than those designated as genuine
parts are used. (If the vehicle
height or the vehicle body
inclination is changed, the
system may not detect an
obstacle correctly.)
. Excessive noise (e.g., audio sys-
tem volume, an open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB system
warning light will illuminate, and the
“Malfunction” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take
If the warning light illuminates, park the
vehicle in a safe location, turn the engine
off, and restart the engine. If the warning
light continues to illuminate, have the
RAB system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
NOTE:
If the RAB system cannot be operated
temporarily, the RAB system warning
light blinks.
