warning light NISSAN SENTRA 2023 Manual Online

– Vehicles where the tires are diffi-cult to see or the shape of the rear
of the vehicle is unclear or
obstructed.
– Parked vehicles.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system has some performance limi-
tations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the ve-
hicle’s path, the system will not
function when the vehicle ap-
proaches the stationary vehicle at
speeds over approximately 50
mph (80 km/h).
– Pedestrian detection will not
function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h) or below
approximately 6 mph (10km/h).
• For pedestrians, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not issue
the first warning. •
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may not function properly or
detect a vehicle or pedestrians
ahead in the following conditions:
– In poor visibility conditions (such
as rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sand storms, smoke, and road
spray from other vehicles).
– If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other ma-
terial is covering the radar sensor
area or camera area of
windshield.
– If strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams) enters the
front camera or a sudden change
in brightness occurs (for example,
entering a tunnel or driving in
lightning).
– In dark or dimly lit conditions,
such as at night or in tunnels, in-
cluding cases where your vehi-
cle’s headlights are off or dim, or
the tail lights of the vehicle ahead
are off.
– When the direction of the camera
is misaligned.
– When driving on a steep downhill
slope, on roads with sharp curves,
and/or bumpy or dirt roads.
– If there is interference by other ra-
dar sources. –
When your vehicle’s position or
movement is changed quickly or
significantly (for example, lane
change, turning vehicle, abrupt
steering, sudden acceleration or
deceleration).
– When your vehicle or the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead moves
quickly or significantly such that
the system cannot detect and re-
act in time (for example, pedes-
trian moving quickly toward the
vehicle at close range, vehicle cut-
ting in, changing lanes, making a
turn, steering abruptly, sudden
acceleration or deceleration).
– When the vehicle or pedestrian is
offset from the vehicle’s forward
path.
– If the speed difference between
the two vehicles is small.
– The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable;
for example, due to transporting
luggage, pushing a stroller, wear-
ing bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories, or being
in a unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).

Condition A:
In the following conditions, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system warning light
blinks and the system will be turned off
automatically:
• The radar sensor picks up interferencefrom another radar source.
• The camera area of the windshield is misted or frozen.
• Strong light is shining from the front.

Condition C:
When the radar sensor of the front bumper
is covered with mud, dirt, snow ice, etc., or is
obstructed, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system will automatically be canceled.
The chime will sound and the “Forward
Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front
Sensor Blocked: See Owner’s Manual” or
“Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front
Sensor Blocked: See Manual” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle information
display.
Action to take:
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shif t lever
in the P (Park) position, and turn the engine
off. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted, clean the sensor area of the
front bumper and restart the engine. If the
“Forward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled
Front Sensor Blocked: See Owner’s Manual”
or “Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front
Sensor Blocked: See Manual” warning mes-
sage continues to be displayed, have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.Condition D:
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snowfields, driving next to
long walls), the system may illuminate the
system warning light and display the “For-
ward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled
Front Sensor Blocked: See Owner’s Manual”
or “Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front
Sensor Blocked: See Manual” message.
Action to take:
When the above driving conditions no lon-
ger exist, turn the system back on.
NOTE:
If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system stops working, the I-FCW sys-
tem will also stop working.SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem malfunctions, it will be turned off auto-
matically, a chime will sound, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system warning light
(orange) will illuminate and the warning
message [Malfunction] will appear in the
vehicle information display.

Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe location, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the
warning light continues to illuminate, have
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle
OB. The camera is located on
the upper side of the windshield
OA.
To keep the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system operating properly, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
• Always keep the sensor areas of the front bumper/emblem and windshield clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensors (e.g., bumper,
windshield). • Do not cover or attach stickers, or install
any accessory near the sensors. This
could block sensor signals and/or cause
failure or malfunction.
• Do not attach metallic objects near the radar sensor (brush guard, etc.). This
could cause failure or malfunction.
• 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
detection capability.
• Do not alter, remove or paint the front bumper. Before customizing or restoring
the front bumper, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rollinginto traffic when parked on an incline, it
is a good practice to turn the wheels as
illustrated.
• HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB
O1:
Turn the wheels into the curb and
move the vehicle forward until the
curb side wheel gently touches the
curb.
• HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB
O2:
Turn the wheels away from the curb
and move the vehicle back until the
curb side wheel gently touches the
curb.
• HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO CURB
O3:
Turn the wheels toward the side of the
road so the vehicle will move away
from the center of the road if it moves.
4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
WARNING
• If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the power
assist for the steering will not work.
Steering will be harder to operate.
• When the power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine run-
ning, there will be no power assist for
the steering. You will still have control
of the vehicle, but the steering will be
harder to operate. Have the power
steering system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
The power steering system is designed to
provide power assist while driving to oper-
ate the steering wheel with light force.
When the steering wheel is operated re-
peatedly or continuously while parking or
driving at a very low speed, the power as-
sist for the steering wheel will be reduced.
This is to prevent overheating of the power
steering system and protect it from getting
damaged. While the power assist is re-
duced, steering wheel operation will be-
come heavy. When the temperature of the
power steering system goes down, the
power assist level will return to normal.
Avoid repeating such steering wheel op- erations that could cause the power steer-
ing system to overheat.
You may hear a noise when the steering
wheel is operated quickly. However, this is
not a malfunction.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may
indicate the power steering system is not
functioning properly and may need servic-
ing. Have the power steering system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, there will
be no power assist for the steering, but you
will still have control of the vehicle. At this
time, greater steering effort is required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speeds.
For additional information, see “Power
steering warning light” (P. 2-15).
