REAR VIEW CAMERA HANDLING
The rear camera unit “1” for the LDW/BSW syst
ems is located above the rear license plate.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW systems and pr event a system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
• Always keep the camera lens clean. Be careful not to damage the nozzle of the automatic washer and
blower.
• Do not attach ”license plate accessories” that reflect light.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
• LDW system is only a warning device to inform the dr iver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not
steer the vehicle or prevent loss of cont rol. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• The camera unit may not detect properly under the following conditions:
- When towing a trailer.
- When strong light enters the camera unit. (For exampl e, direct sunlight or headlight from the rear.)
- When ambient light changes instantly. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or passes
under a bridge.)
• Automatic washer and blower may not be able to secure detection capability when excessive dirt adheres on the camera lens.
• Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehi cle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
• The camera unit may not be able to detect properly under the following conditions:
- On roads where there are multiple parallel lane marker s; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt or snow,
etc.
- On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
- On roads where there are sharp curves.
- On roads where there are sharply c ontrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road repairs. (The LDW syst em could detect these items as lane markers.)
- On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
- When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
- When the road surface is very dark due to scarce ambient light or impaired tail lamp.
• When driving on a curved road, warning will be late on the outside of the curve due to the nature of the sys-
tem.

Precautions for Blind Spot WarningINFOID:0000000009464811
REAR VIEW CAMERA HANDLING
The rear camera unit “1” for the LDW/BSW sy stems is located above the rear license plate.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW systems and prev ent a system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
• Always keep the camera lens clean. Be careful not to damage the nozzle of the automatic washer and
blower.
• Do not attach ”license plate accessories” that reflect light.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.
BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW)
• BSW system is not a replacement for proper drivi ng procedure and is not designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction you will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW system.
• The camera unit may not detect properly under the following conditions:
- When towing a trailer.
- When strong light enters the camera unit. (For exampl e, direct sunlight or headlight from the rear.)
- When ambient light changes instantly. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or passes
under a bridge.)
• Automatic washer and blower may not be able to secu re detection capability when excessive dirt adheres on
the camera lens.
• Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
• The camera unit may not be able to detect when certain objects are present such as:
- Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
- Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles.
- Oncoming vehicles.
- A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind
- A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
• The camera unit may not be able to detect properly when your vehicle travels beside the middle section of a
vehicle with a long wheelbase (e.g., trailer truck, semi-trailer, tractor).
• The camera unit is designed to ignore most stationary objects, however objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be det ected. This is a normal operating condition.
• The camera unit may detect reflection image of vehicles or roadside objects that are not actually in the
detection zone, especially when the road is wet.

PRECAUTIONS FOR BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW)
• The Blind Spot Warning system is not a replacem
ent for proper driving procedure and are not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When c hanging lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and
turn and look in the direction driver will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the
Blind Spot Warning system.
• The Blind Spot Warning system may not provide a warn ing for vehicles that pass through the detection zone
quickly.
• Do not use the Blind Spot Warning system when towing a trailer.
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, open v ehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
• The rear view camera may not be able to detect and activate Blind Spot Warning when certain objects are present such as:
- Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
- Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles.
- Oncoming vehicles.
- Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when driver accelerates from a stop.
- A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as vehicle.
- A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
- Another vehicle which overtakes this vehicle rapidly.
• Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce the abi lity of the rear view camera to detect other vehi-
cles.
• The rear view camera detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider
lane, the rear view camera may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the
rear view camera may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
• The rear view camera is designed to ignore most stationary objects, however objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal operating condition.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BLIND SPOT WARNING
• Do not use the Blind Spot Warning system under the following conditions because the system may not func-
tion properly:
- During bad weather (e.g., rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.)
- When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.

NOTE:
• Maintenance items with “ ” shoul d be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-
tions”.
• (1) Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid. If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier or driving on rough or muddy r oads,
inspect CVT fluid deteriorat ion at NISSAN dealer every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid if necessary. And if the
inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using transmission fluid other than
Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
• (2) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.
MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is
mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.
Severe driving conditions
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) wi th outside temperatures remaining below freezing.
• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances , such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
