TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION (if so
equipped)
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
provides the driver with information
about the most recently detected speed
limit. The system captures the road sign
information with the multi-sensing front
camera unit
located on the windshield
in front of the inside rearview mirror and
displays the detected signs in the vehicle
information display. For vehicles
equipped with Navigation System, the
speed limit displayed is based on a
combination of Navigation System data
and live camera recognition. TSR informa-
tion is always displayed at the top of the vehicle information display, and option-
ally in the main central area of the display
screen.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to
be a support device to provide the
driver with information. It is not a
replacement for the driver’s atten-
tion to traffic conditions or respon-
sibility to drive safely. It cannot
prevent accidents due to careless-
ness. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert and drive safely at all
times.
System operation

System temporarily unavailable
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 40°C (104°F)) and then
started, the TSR system may be deacti-
vated automatically. The “Unavailable:
high cabin temperature” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
Action to take:
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the TSR system will resume operating
automatically.
System Malfunction
If the TSR system malfunctions it will be
turned off automatically and the TSR
"Malfunction" warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
If the TSR "Malfunction" warning mes-
sage appears, pull off the road at a safe
location and stop the vehicle. Turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the
TSR "Malfunction" message continues to
appear, have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
Maintenance
The TSR uses the same multi-sensing
front camera unit that is used by the
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system,
located in front of the interior rearview
mirror. For maintenance of the camera,
see “System maintenance” (P.5-39).
