WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the I-DA
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The I–DA system is only a warning to
inform the driver of a potential lack
of driver attention or drowsiness. It
will not steer the vehicle or prevent
loss of control.
• The I–DA system does not detect and
provide an alert of the driver’s lack of
attention or fatigue in every
situation.
• It is the driver’s responsibility to:
– stay alert,
– drive safely,
– keep the vehicle in the traveling lane,
– be in control of the vehicle at all times,
– avoid driving when tired,
– avoid distractions (texting, etc.).
The I–DA system helps alert the driver if the
system detects a lack of attention or driv-
ing fatigue. The system monitors driving style and
steering behavior over a period of time,
and it detects changes from the normal
pattern. If the system detects that driver
attention is decreasing over a period of
time, the system uses audible and visual
warnings to suggest that the driver take a
break.

If the system detects driver fatigue or that
driver attention is decreasing, the mes-
sage “Take a break?” appears in the vehicle
information display and a chime sounds
when the vehicle is driven at speeds above
37 mph (60 km/h).
The system continuously monitors driver
attention and can provide multiple warn-
ings per trip.
The system resets and starts reassessing
driving style and steering behavior when the
ignition switch is cycled from the ON to the
OFF position and back to the ON position.

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 device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the ve-
hicle at all times. The VDC system uses various sensors to
monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion.
Under certain driving conditions, the VDC
system helps to perform the following
functions:
• 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 out- put to reduce drive wheel slip based on
vehicle speed (traction control 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 conditions)
The VDC system can help the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle, but it can-
not prevent loss of vehicle control in all driv-
ing situations.
When the VDC system operates, the
indicator light in the instrument panel
flashes to 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 indi-
cates that the VDC system is working
properly.
• Adjust your speed and driving to the road conditions.
For additional information, see “Slip indica-
tor light” (P. 2-16) and ”Vehicle Dynamic Con-
trol (VDC) OFF indicator light” (P. 2-16).
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
indicator light comes on in the instru-
ment panel. The VDC system automatically
turns off when the indicator light is off.
The vehicle information display is used to
turn off the VDC system. The
indicator
light and the AEB system warning light illu-
minates to indicate the VDC system is off.
When the vehicle information display is
used to turn off the VDC system, the sys-
tem still operates to prevent one drive
wheel from slipping by transferring power
to a non-slipping drive wheel. The
indicator light flashes if this occurs. All
VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
SYSTEM
Starting and driving5-131

WARNING
• The VDC system is designed to help
the driver maintain stability but does
not prevent accidents due to abrupt
steering operation at high speeds or
by careless or dangerous driving
techniques. Reduce vehicle speed
and be especially careful when driv-
ing and cornering on slippery sur-
faces and always drive carefully.
• Do not modif y the vehicle's suspen-
sion. If suspension parts such as
shock absorbers, struts, springs, sta-
bilizer bars, bushings and wheels are
not NISSAN recommended for your
vehicle or are extremely deterio-
rated, the VDC system may not oper-
ate properly. This could adversely af-
fect vehicle handling performance,
and the
indicator light may flash
or theindicator light may
illuminate.
• If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not
NISSAN recommended or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, the VDC sys-
tem may not operate properly and
the
indicator light may
illuminate. •
If engine control related parts are not
NISSAN recommended or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, the
indi-
cator light may illuminate.
• When driving on extremely inclined
surfaces such as higher banked cor-
ners, the VDC system may not oper-
ate properly and the
indicator
light may flash or theindicator
light may illuminate. Do not drive on
these types of roads.
• When driving on an unstable surface
such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or
ramp, the
indicator light may
flash or theindicator light may
illuminate. This is not a malfunction.
Restart the engine af ter driving onto
a stable surface.
• If wheels or tires other than the
NISSAN recommended ones are
used, the VDC system may not oper-
ate properly and the
indicator
light may flash or theindicator
light may illuminate.
• The VDC system is not a substitute
for winter tires or tire chains on a
snow covered road. The chassis control is an electric control
module that includes the following
functions:
• Intelligent Trace Control
• Active Ride Control
• Intelligent Engine Brake
INTELLIGENT TRACE CONTROL
This system senses driving based on the
driver’s steering and acceleration/braking
patterns, and controls brake pressure at
individual wheels to aid tracing at corners
and help smooth vehicle response.
When the VDC system is turned off, the In-
telligent Trace Control is also turned off.
If the chassis control warning message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, it
may indicate that Intelligent Trace Control
is not functioning properly. Have the sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon
as possible. See “Vehicle information dis-
play warnings and indicators” (P. 2-26) or
(P. 2-41).
WARNING
The Intelligent Trace Control may not
be effective depending on the driving
condition. Always drive carefully and
attentively.
CHASSIS CONTROL
Starting and driving5-133

When the Intelligent Trace Control is oper-
ating, you may feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise. This is normal and
indicates that the Intelligent Trace Control
is operating properly.
You may also feel deceleration when the
Intelligent Trace Control is operating. How-
ever, this is not a malfunction.
ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL
This system senses upper body motion
(based on wheel speed information) and
controls four wheel brake pressure. This will
enhance ride comfort in effort to restrain
uncomfortable upper body movement
when passing over undulated road
surfaces.
When the VDC system is turned off, the Ac-
tive Ride Control is also turned off.
When the Active Ride Control is operating,
you may hear noise and sense slight decel-
eration. This is normal and indicates that
the Active Ride Control is operating
properly.
If the chassis control warning message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, it
may indicate that Active Ride Control is not
functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon aspossible. See “Vehicle information display
warnings and indicators” (P. 2-26) or (P. 2-41).
INTELLIGENT ENGINE BRAKE
The Intelligent Engine Brake function adds
subtle deceleration by controlling gear ra-
tio, depending on the cornering condition
calculated from driver’s steering input and
plural sensors. This benefit is for easier
traceability and less workload of adjusting
speed with braking at corners.
The Intelligent Engine Brake also adds
subtle deceleration with gear ratio control
according to driver’s brake pedal
operation.
If the chassis control warning message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, it
may indicate that the Intelligent Engine
Brake is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible. See “Vehicle information
display warnings and indicators” (P. 2-26) or
(P. 2-41).
WARNING
The Intelligent Engine Brake may not
be effective depending on the driving
condition. Always drive carefully and
attentively. When the Intelligent Engine Brake is oper-
ating, the needle of the tachometer will rise
up and you may hear an engine noise. This
is normal and indicates that the Intelligent
Engine Brake is operating properly.
5-134Starting and driving

WARNING
• Never rely solely on the hill start as-
sist system to prevent the vehicle
from moving backward on a hill. Al-
ways drive carefully and attentively.
Depress the brake pedal when the
vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be
especially careful when stopped on a
hill on frozen or muddy roads. Failure
to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards may result in a loss of
control of the vehicle and possible
serious injury or death.
• The hill start assist system is not de-
signed to hold the vehicle at a stand-
still on a hill. Depress the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped on a
steep hill. Failure to do so may cause
the vehicle to roll backwards and
may result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
• The hill start assist system may not
prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards on a hill under all load or
road conditions. Always be prepared
to depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards.
Failure to do so may result in a colli-
sion or serious personal injury. When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, the hill
start assist system automatically keeps
the brakes applied to help prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling backward in the time it
takes the driver to release the brake pedal
and apply the accelerator.
The hill start assist system will operate au-
tomatically under the following conditions:
• The transmission is shif ted to a forward
or reverse gear.
• The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the brake. The maximum
holding time is 2 seconds. Af ter 2 sec-
onds the vehicle will begin to roll back and
the hill start assist system will stop oper-
ating completely.
The hill start assist system will not operate
when the shif t lever is placed in the N (Neu-
tral) or P (Park) position or on a flat and level
road. The RSS sounds a tone to inform the driver
of obstacles near the bumper.
When the “DISPLAY” key is on, the sonar
view will automatically appear in the
touch-screen display. An additional view of
the sonar status will appear in the vehicle
information display for reference.
