NOTE:
• The shif t indicator is a guide for fueleconomy. Always pay attention to road
conditions and other traffic.
• Downshif t the indicator icon to the 1 (1st) position if not displayed.

The TSR system provides the driver with
information about the most recently de-
tected speed limit. The system captures
the road sign information with the multi-
sensing front camera unit
OAlocated on
the windshield in front of the inside rear-
view mirror and displays the detected
signs in the vehicle information display. For
vehicles equipped with a navigation sys-
tem, the speed limit displayed is based on a
combination of navigation system data
and live camera recognition. TSR informa-
tion is always displayed at the top of the vehicle information display, and optionally
in the main central area of the display
screen.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to be a
support device to help provide the
driver with information. It is not a re-
placement for the driver’s attention to
traffic conditions or responsibility to
drive safely. It cannot prevent acci-
dents due to carelessness. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert and
drive safely at all times.

located in front of the interior rearview mir-
ror. For additional information, see ”System
maintenance” (P. 5-35).

Af ter the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions
are satisfied, the LDW functions will resume.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the LDW system malfunctions, it will can-
cel automatically and “Not Available Sys-
tem Malfunction” will appear in the vehicle
information display. If “Not Available Sys-
tem Malfunction” appears in the vehicle in-
formation display, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle. Place the
shif t lever in the P (Park) position and the
ignition switch in the OFF position and re-
start the engine/motor. If “Not Available
System Malfunction” continues to appear

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitO1for the LDW sys-
tem is located above the inside mirror. To
keep the proper operation of the LDW sys-
tem and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit. • Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit. If the camera unit is
damaged due to an accident, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
