Battery saver system
.When the headlight switch is in theorposition while the ignition
switch is in the ON position, the lights
will automatically turn off within a
period of time after the ignition switch
has been placed in the OFF position.
. When the headlight switch remains in
the
orposition after the lights
automatically turn off, the lights will
turn on when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
CAUTION
. When you turn on the headlight
switch again after the lights auto-
matically turn off, the lights will
not turn off automatically. Be
sure to turn the light switch to
the OFF position when you leave

matically.
Daytime Running Light (DRL) sys-
tem
The LED portion of the headlights auto-
matically illuminate at 100% intensity
when the engine is started and the
parking brake released. The LED Daytime
Running Light (DRL) operate with the
headlight switch in the OFF position or
in the
position. When you turn the
headlight switch to theposition for
full illumination, the LED lights switch
from LED DRL to the park function.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the LED DRL do not
illuminate. The LED DRL illuminate when
the parking brake is released. The LED
DRL will remain on until the ignition
switch is placed in the OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the head-
light switch ON for interior controls and
switches to illuminate, as those remain
OFF while the switch is in the OFF
position.
WARNING

.Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction
of the tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function prop-
erly when the wheels are
equipped with tire chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
. Do not place metalized film or
any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on
the windows. This may cause
poor reception of the signals
from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function

HOW TO SELECT THE CRUISE CON-
TROL MODE
Selecting the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode
To choose the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, quickly push and release
the Cruise ON/OFF switch.
Selecting the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the
Cruise ON/OFF switchfor longer than
approximately 1.5 seconds. See “Conven-
tional (fixed speed) cruise control mode” (P.5-78).
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically
maintains a selected distance from the
vehicle traveling in front of you according
to that vehicle’s speed (up to the set
speed), or at the set speed when the road
ahead is clear.
JVS1041X
The system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.
If the radar sensor
detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed so that your
vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance.
The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to
approximately 40% of vehicle braking
power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

5-72Starting and driving
safe vehicle distance if:
.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection indicator
blinks.
The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short dis-
tance between vehicles. Some examples
are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance be-
tween vehicles is not changing
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling
faster and the distance between ve-
hicles is increasing
. When a vehicle cuts in near your
vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
. Your vehicle approaches other vehi-
cles that are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may
sound and the system display may
blink when the radar sensor detects
objects on the side of the vehicle or on
the side of the road. This may cause the
ICC system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle. The radar sensor may de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding roads, narrow roads, hilly roads or when entering or exiting a
curve. In these cases you will have to
manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle condition (for example,
if a vehicle is being driven with some
damage).
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following
conditions and the control is automati-
cally canceled.
.
When the vehicle ahead is not de-
tected and your vehicle is traveling
below the speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) position or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When distance measurement be-
comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor
. When a wheel slips .
When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open
roads with light traffic. It is not
advisable to use the system in
city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the ICC sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome

poor visibility in rain, fog, or other
bad weather. Decelerate the ve-
hicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of
the system. The system will can-
cel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To pre-
vent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake
pedal.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the ICC system may
not be able to maintain the se-
lected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some cir-
cumstances.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions:
— On roads where the traffic is
heavy or there are sharp
curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in over-
heating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
— Interference by other radar sources.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec- tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control
the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using
the ICC system when it is not
recommended in this section.
The radar sensor will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary and slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the vehicle ahead. There-
fore, if the sensor cannot detect the
reflection from the vehicle ahead, the
ICC system may not maintain the se-
lected distance.
The following are some conditions in
which the sensor cannot detect the
signals:
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the cargo
area of your vehicle
The ICC system is designed to automati-

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 ICC system to decelerate
or accelerate the vehicle.
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 ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You
will have to manually control the proper
distance away from the vehicle travel- ing ahead.
System temporarily unavailable
The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to
maintain the selected following distance
from the vehicle ahead.
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the ICC
system is automatically canceled. A chime
will sound and the system will not be able
to be set:.
When the VDC is turned off
. When the ABS or VDC (including the
traction control system) operates
. When a vehicle ahead is not detected
and your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at a standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When a tire slips

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-
10) of this manual.
— For detailed information, see “Wheels and tires” (P.8-29) 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-
