Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 3:The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle
stays in the detection zone for approximately
2 seconds. Illustration 4:
If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
● When overtaking several vehicles in a row,
the vehicles after the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling close together
● The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed quickly. ●
If the driver activates the turn signal before a
vehicle enters the detection zone, the side
indicator light will flash but no chime will
sound when the other vehicle is detected. .

nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from
either side. Illustration 6:
If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
● If the driver activates the turn signal before a
vehicle enters the detection zone, the side
indicator light will flash but no chime will
sound when the other vehicle is detected. ●
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system will
be deactivated automatically. The “Side Radar
Obstruction” warning message will appear and
the blind spot indicator (white) will blink
Ain the
vehicle information display.
The system is not available until the conditions no
longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist
or fog. The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
system will resume automatically.
Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn off
automatically. The system malfunction warning
message with the BSW/RCTA indicator (orange)
will appear in the vehicle information display.

5-30Starting and driving

NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the message continues
to appear, have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist
or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transparent ma-
terial) , install accessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer if the area around the radar sen-
sors is damaged due to a collision.

For Canada
Applicable law: Canada 310
This device complies with Industry Canada
licence-exempt RSS standard(s) . Opera-
tion is subject to the following two condi-
tions: (1) this device may not cause inter-
ference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the de-
vice.
Frequency bands: 24.05GHz – 24.25GHz
Output power: less than 20 milliwattsWARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RCTA could
result in serious injury or death.
●The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction you will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA will assist you when backing out from
a parking space. When the vehicle is in reverse,
the system is designed to detect other vehicles
approaching from the right or left of the vehicle. If
the system detects cross traffic, it will alert you.

1. Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
2. BSW/RCTA Indicator
RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
The RCTA system can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle when the driver is backing
out of a parking space.
When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h), the RCTA system is operational.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) and the side BSW/RCTA indicator light on
the side of the vehicle is approaching from
flashes.
LSD2605
Starting and driving5-33

The RCTA system uses radar sensors1in-
stalled on both sides near the rear bumper to
detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
1can detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
away.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from
the side, the system gives visual and audible
warnings.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
RCTA SYSTEM
When the RCTA system is enabled in the vehicle
information display, the system can be turned off
temporarily by pushing the parking sensor (so-
nar) system OFF switch. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Parking sensor (sonar) system OFF
switch” in the “Instruments and controls” section
of this manual.
Perform the following steps to enable or disable
the RCTA system.1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display and
then press ENTER. Use the
button to
select “Driver Assistance” and press EN-
TER. Select “Driving Aids” and press EN-
TER.
2. Select “Blind Spot (BSW)” and press the ENTER button.
NOTE:
When enabling/disabling the system, the
system setting will be retained even if the
engine is restarted.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
●Listed below are the system limitations
for RCTA. Failure to operate the vehicle
in accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
● Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before back-
ing up. The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The radar
sensors cannot detect every object such
as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child-operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h)
● The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration a: When a vehicle parked next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
LSD2173
5-36Starting and driving

– Illustration b: When the vehicle isparked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration c: When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration d: When an approaching vehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration e: When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small
● The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build-up on the vehicle
– Frost build-up on the vehicle
– Dirt build- up on the vehicle
● Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles ●
Do not use the RCTA systems when
towing a trailer.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
NOTE:● In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not be
sounded by the RCTA system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.
