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 driver
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.

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
— Complex-shaped objects
— Multiple object in close
— 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 pedestrians or animals.
. 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 sonar sensors or the area around them are extremely
hot or cold.
. 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 is driving through a draped flag or a curtain.
— The vehicle is driving on a steep hill.
— 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: — The vehicle is driven in bad
weather (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
OFF warning light will illuminate, and the
“Malfunction See Owner’s Manual” warn-
ing message will appear in the vehicle
information display.

.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.

BREAK-IN SCHEDULE FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

BRAKING PRECAUTIONS
The brake system has two separate
hydraulic circuits. If one circuit malfunc-
tions, you will still have braking at two
wheels.
Vacuum assisted brakes
The brake booster aids braking by using
engine vacuum. If the engine stops, you
can stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal. However, greater foot pres-
sure on the brake pedal will be required to
stop the vehicle and the stopping dis-
tance will be longer.
Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. This will cause over-
heating of the brakes, wearing out the
brake pads faster and reduce gas mile-
age.
To help reduce brake wear and to prevent
the brakes from overheating, reduce
speed and downshift to a lower gear
before going down a slope or long grade.
Overheated brakes may reduce braking
performance and could result in loss of
vehicle control.
WARNING
.While driving on a slippery sur-
face, be careful when braking,
accelerating or downshifting.
Abrupt braking or accelerating
could cause the wheels to skid
and result in an accident.
. If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the
power assist for the brakes will
not work. Braking will be harder.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven
through water, the brakes may get wet.
As a result, your braking distance will be
longer and the vehicle may pull to one
side during braking.
To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe
speed while lightly tapping the brake
pedal to heat-up the brakes. Do this until
the brakes return to normal. Avoid driving
the vehicle at high speeds until the brakes
function correctly.
Parking brake break-in
Break in the parking brake pads when-
ever the stopping effect of the parking
brake is weakened or whenever the
parking brake pads and/or calipers/ro-
tors are replaced, in order to assure the
best braking performance.
This procedure is described in the vehicle
service manual. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

BRAKE SYSTEM

5-156Starting and driving
BRAKE ASSIST
When the force applied to the brake pedal
exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is
activated generating greater braking
force than a conventional brake booster
even with light pedal force.
WARNING
The Brake Assist is only an aid to
assist braking operation and is not a
collision warning or avoidance de-
vice. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
WARNING
.The Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) is a sophisticated device,
but it cannot prevent accidents
resulting from careless or dan-
gerous driving techniques. It can
help maintain vehicle control dur-
ing braking on slippery surfaces.
Remember that stopping dis-
tances on slippery surfaces will
be longer than on normal sur- faces even with ABS. Stopping
distances may also be longer on
rough, gravel or snow covered
roads, or if you are using tire
chains. Always maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle in front
of you. Ultimately, the driver is
responsible for safety.
. Tire type and condition may also
affect braking effectiveness.
— When replacing tires, install
the specified size of tires on
all four wheels.
— When installing a spare tire, make sure that it is the proper
size and type as specified on
the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label. See “Tire and Load-
ing Information label” (P.10-11)
of this manual.
— For detailed information, see “Wheels and tires” (P.8-25) of
this manual.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) con-
trols the brakes so the wheels do not lock
during hard braking or when braking on
slippery surfaces. The system detects the
rotation speed at each wheel and varies
the brake fluid pressure to prevent each
wheel from locking and sliding. By pre- venting each wheel from locking, the
system helps the driver maintain steering
control and helps to minimize swerving
and spinning on slippery surfaces.
Using the system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.
Depress the brake pedal with firm steady
pressure, but do not pump the brakes.
The ABS will operate to prevent the
wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle
to avoid obstacles.
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing
so may result in increased stopping
distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, elec-
tric pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a
computer. The computer has a built-in
diagnostic feature that tests the system
each time you start the engine and move
the vehicle at a low speed in forward or
reverse. When the self-test occurs, you
may hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a
pulsation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. If the computer senses a malfunc-
BRAKE ASSIST

tion, it switches the ABS off and illumi-
nates the ABS warning light on the
instrument panel. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock
assistance.
If the ABS warning light illuminates during
the self-test or while driving, have the
vehicle checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6
MPH (5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies
according to road conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or more
wheels are close to locking up, the
actuator rapidly applies and releases
hydraulic pressure. This action is similar
to pumping the brakes very quickly. You
may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal
and hear a noise from under the hood or
feel a vibration from the actuator when it
is operating. This is normal and indicates
that the ABS is operating properly. How-
ever, the pulsation may indicate that road
conditions are hazardous and extra care
is required while driving.The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) sys-
tem uses various sensors to monitor
driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under
certain driving conditions, the VDC sys-
tem helps to perform the following func-
tions.
.
Controls brake pressure to reduce
wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel
so power is transferred to a non
slipping drive wheel on the same axle.
. Controls brake pressure and engine
output to reduce drive wheel slip
based on vehicle speed (traction con-
trol function).
. Controls brake pressure at individual
wheels and engine output to help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle
in the following conditions:
— understeer (vehicle tends to not
follow the steered path despite
increased steering input)
— oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving condi-
tions).
The VDC system can help the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle, but it
cannot prevent loss of vehicle control in
all driving situations.
When the VDC system operates, the slip
indicator light
in the instrument panel
flashes so note the following: .
The road may be slippery or the
system may determine some action
is required to help keep the vehicle on
the steered path.
. You may feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise or vibration
from under the hood. This is normal
and indicates that the VDC system is
working properly.
. Adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
slip indicator light
illuminates in the
instrument panel. The VDC system auto-
matically turns off.
The vehicle information display is used to
turn off the VDC system. The VDC off
indicator
illuminates to indicate the
VDC system is off. When the VDC system
is turned off, the VDC system still oper-
ates to prevent one drive wheel from
slipping by transferring power to a non
slipping drive wheel. The slip indicator
light
flashes if this occurs. All other
VDC functions are off, and the slip in-
dicator light
will not flash. The VDC
system is automatically reset to on when
the ignition switch is placed in the off
position then back to the on position.
See “Slip indicator light” (P.2-20) and
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) off indi-
cator light” (P.2-20).
