map data):
— The time the vehicle can re-main stopped and automati-
cally restart is extended from
3 seconds to 30 seconds.
— If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of the lane ahead, the
vehicle may not automatically
start when the traffic ahead
begins to move. You need to
push up the RES+ switch or
lightly depress the accelerator
pedal to follow the vehicle
directly ahead when it is safe
to do so.
. Always check surroundings be-
fore restarting the vehicle.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
ICC system may not be able to
maintain the selected distance
between vehicles (following dis-
tance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.
. The ICC system does not detect
the following objects:
— Stationary or slow moving ve-
hicles (when your vehicle is approaching them)
— Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
— Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
. The ICC system may not detect a
vehicle ahead in certain road,
weather or driving conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions:
— On roads with heavy, high-
speed traffic or sharp curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— On a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the
vehicle set speed and fre-
quent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) — When the sensor detection is
reduced (conditions such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray
from other vehicles)
— When dirt, ice, snow or other material adhere to the radar
sensor area
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
— When a complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier
trailer or flatbed truck/trailer
is near the vehicle ahead
— When there is interference by other radar sources
— When excessively heavy bag- gage is loaded in the rear seat
or cargo area of your vehicle
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. Always stay alert and

tions (for example, tire wear,
abnormal tire pressure, instal-
lation of a spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels)
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake or
suspension parts
— When an object such as a sticker or cargo obstructs the
camera
— When excessively heavy bag- gage is loaded in the rear seat
or luggage area of your vehi-
cle
— When the vehicle load capa- city is exceeded
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle
. Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and
the beep may not be heard.
. For the ProPILOT Assist system to
operate properly, the windshield
in front of the camera must be
clean. Replace worn wiper blades.
The correct size wiper blades
must be used to help make sure
the windshield is kept clean. Only
use Genuine NISSAN wiper blades,
or equivalent wiper blades, that are specifically designed for use
on your vehicle model and model
year. It is recommended that you
visit your NISSAN dealer for the
correct parts for your vehicle.
Steering Assist temporary standby
Automatic standby due to driving op-
eration:
When the driver activates the turn signal,
the Steering Assist is temporarily placed
in a standby mode. (The Steering Assist
restarts automatically when the operat-
ing conditions are met again.)
Automatic standby:
In the following cases, “Not Available
Front Camera Obstructed” warning mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information
display, along with the chime, and the
Steering Assist is placed in a temporary
standby mode. (The Steering Assist re-
starts automatically when the operating
conditions are met again.)
.
When lane markers on both sides are
no longer detected
. When a vehicle ahead is no longer
detected under approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h) NOTE:
For ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
equipped vehicles on a limited access
freeway as identified in the navigation
map data, the Steering Assist system
may continue to operate with visible
lane markers on the both sides, even
when the vehicle speed is below ap-
proximately 37 MPH (60 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead.
Steering Assist cancel
Under the following conditions, the Steer-
ing Assist cancels, and the Steering Assist
status indicator and the Steering Assist
indicator turn off:
.
When unusual lane markers appear in
the traveling lane or when the lane
marker cannot be correctly detected
for some time due to certain condi-
tions (for example, a snow rut, the
reflection of light on a rainy day, the
presence of several unclear lane mar-
kers)
. When the windshield wiper operates
in the high speed operation (the
Steering Assist is disabled when the
wiper operates for more than approxi-
mately 10 seconds)

— If there is interference byother radar sources.
— When your vehicle’s position or movement is changed
quickly or significantly (for
example, lane change, turning
vehicle, abrupt steering, sud-
den acceleration or decelera-
tion).
— When your vehicle or the ve- hicle, pedestrian or cyclist
ahead moves quickly or sig-
nificantly such that the sys-
tem cannot detect and react
in time (for example, pedes-
trian moving quickly toward
the vehicle at close range,
vehicle cutting in, changing
lanes, making a turn, steering
abruptly, sudden acceleration
or deceleration).
— When the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is offset from the
vehicle’s forward path.
— If the speed difference be- tween the two vehicles is
small.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifi-
able; for example, due to transporting luggage, push-
ing a stroller, wearing bulky
or very loose-fitting clothing
or accessories, or being in a
unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).
— There is poor contrast of a person to the background,
such as having clothing color
or pattern which is similar to
the background.
— For approximately 15 seconds after starting the engine
— If the vehicle ahead has a unique or unusual shape, ex-
tremely low or high clearance
heights, or unusual cargo
loading or is narrow (for ex-
ample, a motorcycle).
— When the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is located near a
traffic sign, a reflective area
(for example, water on road),
or is in a shadow.
— When multiple pedestrians or cyclists are grouped together.
— When the view of the pedes- trian or cyclist is obscured by
a vehicle or other object. — While towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
. The system performance may be
degraded in the following condi-
tions:
— The vehicle is driven on a
slippery road.
— The vehicle is driven on a slope.
— Excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the
cargo area of your vehicle.
. The system is designed to auto-
matically check the sensor (radar
and camera)’s functionality, with-
in certain limitations. The system
may not detect some forms of
obstruction of the sensor area
such as ice, snow or stickers, for
example. In these cases, the sys-
tem may not be able to warn the
driver properly. Be sure that you
check, clean and clear sensor
areas regularly.
. In some road and traffic condi-
tions, the AEB with pedestrian
detection system may unexpect-
edly apply partial braking. When
acceleration is necessary, de-
press the accelerator pedal to

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
— Towing a trailer
. (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.

.When washing the vehicle using a
high-pressure washer, do not apply
direct washer pressure on the sonar
sensors. This may cause a malfunction
of the sonar sensors.
CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000
km), follow these recommendations
to obtain maximum engine perfor-
mance and ensure the future relia-
bility and economy of your new
vehicle. Failure to follow these re-
commendations may result in shor-
tened engine life and reduced engine
performance.
. Avoid driving for long periods at con-
stant speed, either fast or slow. Do not
run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any
gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possi-
ble.
. Do not tow a trailer for the first 500
miles (800 km). Your engine, axle or
other parts could be damaged. Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator and brake
pedal application.
.Avoid rapid starts and stops..Use smooth, gentle accelerator andbrake application whenever possi-
ble.
.Maintain constant speed whilecommuting and coast whenever
possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
.Synchronizing your speed with traf-fic lights allows you to reduce your
number of stops.
.Maintaining a steady speed canminimize red light stops and im-
prove fuel efficiency.
3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher vehicle speeds.
.Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is moreefficient to open windows to cool
the vehicle due to reduced engine
load.
.Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the
vehicle due to increased aerody-
namic drag.

tires.
. Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire will wear at a
faster rate than the standard tire.
Replace the spare tire as soon as
the tread wear indicators appear.
. Do not use the spare tire on other
vehicles.
. Do not use more than one spare
tire at the same time.
. Do not tow a trailer when the
TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire
is installed.
CAUTION
.Do not use tire chains on a
TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire.
Tire chains will not fit properly
and may cause damage to the
vehicle.
. Because the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire is smaller than
the original tire, ground clearance
is reduced. To avoid damage to
the vehicle, do not drive over
obstacles. Also do not drive the
vehicle through an automatic car
wash since it may get caught.

rioration data is more than 210,000,
replace the CVT fluid.

To help ensure smooth, safe and eco-
nomical driving, NISSAN provides two
maintenance schedules that may be
used, depending upon the conditions in
which you usually drive. These schedules
contain both distance and time intervals,
up to 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96
months. For most people, the odometer
reading will indicate when service is
needed. However, if you drive very little,
your vehicle should be serviced at the
regular time intervals shown in the sche-
dule.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96
months, continue maintenance at the
same mileage/time intervals.
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
FOR SEVERE OPERATING CONDI-
TIONS
Additional maintenance items for se-
vere operating conditions;should be
performed on vehicles that are driven
under especially demanding conditions.
Additional maintenance items should be
performed if you primarily operate your
vehicle under the following conditions:
. Repeated short trips of less than 5
miles (8 km).
. Repeated short trips of less than 10
miles (16 km) with outside tempera-
tures remaining below freezing. .
Operating in hot weather in stop-and-
go “rush hour” traffic.
. Extensive idling and/or low speed
driving for long distances, such as
police, taxi or door-to-door delivery
use.
. Driving in dusty conditions.
. Driving on rough, muddy or salt
spread roads.
. Using a car-top carrier.
. Towing a trailer.
. Using a camper.
If your vehicle is mainly operated under
the severe conditions, follow the severe
maintenance intervals shown in the
maintenance schedule.
OIL CONTROL SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with oil control
system. It calculates engine oil and filter
change intervals based on driving condi-
tions. Driving in the following severe
conditions will shorten the engine oil
and filter change interval.

Oil viscosity
The engine oil viscosity or thickness
changes with temperature. Because of
this, it is important to select the engine oil
viscosity based on the temperatures at
which the vehicle will be operated before
the next oil change. Choosing an oil
viscosity other than that recommended
could cause serious engine damage.
Selecting the correct oil filter
Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with
a high-quality genuine NISSAN oil filter.
When replacing, use a genuine NISSAN oil
filter or its equivalent for the reason
described in “Change intervals”.
Change intervals
The oil and oil filter change intervals for
your engine are based on the use of the
specified quality oils and filters. Using an
engine oil and filter other than the
specified quality, or exceeding recom-
mended oil and filter change intervals
could reduce engine life. Damage to the
engine caused by improper maintenance
or use of incorrect oil and filter quality
and/or viscosity is not covered by the
NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
Your engine was filled with a high quality
engine oil when it was built. You do not
have to change the oil before the firstrecommended change interval.
Oil and filter change intervals depend
upon how you use your vehicle. Opera-
tion under the following conditions may
require more frequent oil and filter
changes:
.
repeated short distance driving at
cold outside temperatures
. driving in dusty conditions
. extensive idling
. towing a trailer
. stop and go commuting
(See “9. Maintenance and schedules” sec-
tion.)
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RE-
FRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT RE-
COMMENDATIONS
The air conditioner system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with
the specified refrigerant HFO-1234yf (R-
1234yf) and A/C system oil ND-OIL12
(PAG) or the exact equivalent.
CAUTION
The use of any other refrigerant or oil
will cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and will require
the replacement of all air conditioner system components.
The refrigerant HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) in
your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. Although this refrig-
erant does not affect the earth’s atmo-
sphere, certain government regulations
require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air condi-
tioner system service. Air conditioner
system should only be serviced by trained
and certified technicians to ensure proper
and safe operation (SAE J2845). A NISSAN
dealer has the trained technicians and
equipment needed to recover and recycle
your air conditioner system refrigerant.
Only new and SAEJ2842 certified eva-
porator(s) shall be used as replacement
parts.
A damaged or leaking air conditioning
evaporator shall never be repaired or
replaced with one removed from a used
or salvaged vehicle. To replace a da-
maged or leaking evaporator, use only
new and SAE J2842 certified evaporator
(s). It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer when servicing your air
conditioner system.
