BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●
The BSW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
● The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a
stop. – A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over- takes rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the de- tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first ve-
hicle may not be detected if they are
traveling close together.
● The radar sensors’ detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
● The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This is
a normal operation condition.
Starting and driving5-41

●The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
● Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
● Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.

from behind. ●
If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected.Overtaking another vehicle

may not be detected if they are travel-
ing close together.
● The radar sensors may not detect
slower moving vehicles if they are
passed quickly. ●
If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected. .Entering from the side

The radar sensors may not detect a
vehicle which is traveling at about the
same speed as your vehicle when it
enters the detection zone.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system will
be deactivated automatically. The “Side Radar
Obstruction” warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
The system is not available until the conditions no
longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist
or fog. The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
system will resume automatically.
Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn off
automatically. The system malfunction warning
message will appear in the vehicle information
display.

5-46Starting and driving

NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the message continues
to appear, have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems is located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist
or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transparent ma-
terial) , install accessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer if the area around the radar sen-
sors is damaged due to a collision.

Frequency bands: 24.05 – 24.25GHz
Output power: less than 20 milliwattsWARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RCTA system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move. Never
rely solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when backing
out from a parking space. When the vehicle is in
reverse, the system is designed to detect other
vehicles approaching from the right or left of the
vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic, it will
alert you.
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)
(if so equipped)
5-48Starting and driving

1. Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
The RCTA system can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle when the driver is backing
out of a parking space.
When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h), the RCTA system is operational.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
either side, the system chimes (once) and the
side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes on the
side the vehicle is approaching from.
