The parking sensor(sonar) systemsounds atone to
inform thedriver ofobstacles nearthebumper.
When theªDisplayº keyisON, thesensor viewwill
automatically appearinthe vehicle information display.
WARNING:
. The parking sensor(sonar) systemisa
convenience butitis not asubstitute for
proper parking. Thedriver isalways respon-
sible forsafety during parking andother
manoeuvres. Alwayslookaround andcheck
that itis safe todo sobefore parking. .
Read andunderstand thelimitations ofthe
parking sensor(sonar) system ascontained
in this section. Thecolors ofthe corner
sensor indicator andthedistance guidelines
in the front (ifequipped)/rear viewindicate
different distances tothe object. Inclement
weather orultrasonic sourcessuchasan
automatic carwash, atruck's compressed-
air brakes orapneumatic drillmay affect the
function ofthe system; thismay include
reduced performance orafalse activation. .
This function isdesigned asan aid tothe
driver indetecting largestationary objectsto
help avoid damaging thevehicle. Thesystem
is not designed toprevent contactwithsmall
or moving objects. Alwaysmoveslowly.
. The system willnotdetect smallobjects
below thebumper, andmay notdetect
objects closetothe bumper oron the
ground.
. The system maynotdetect thefollowing
objects.
Ð Fluffy objects suchassnow, cloth,
cotton, glass-wool, etc.
Ð Thin objects suchasrope, wireand
chain, etc.
Ð Wedge-shaped objects
. Ifyour vehicle sustains damagetothe
bumper fascia,leaving itmisaligned orbent,
the sensing zonemaybealtered causing
inaccurate measurement ofobstacles or
false alarms.
CAUTION:
. Keep theinterior ofthe vehicle asquiet as
possible tohear thetone clearly.
. Keep thesensors (located onthe bumper
fascia) freefrom snow, iceand large accu-
mulations ofdirt. Donot clean thesensors
with sharp objects. Ifthe sensors are
covered, theaccuracy ofthe sensor function
will bediminished.

WARNING:
. Ifthe engine isnot running oristurned off
while driving, thepower assistforthe
steering willnotwork. Steering willbe
harder tooperate.
. When theelectric powersteering warning
light illuminates withtheengine running, the
power assistforthe steering willcease
operation. You will still have control ofthe
vehicle, butthesteering willbemuch harder
to operate.
The electric powersteering systemisdesigned to
provide powerassistwhiledriving tooperate the
steering wheelwithlight force.
When thesteering wheelisoperated repeatedly or
continuously whileparking ordriving atavery low
speed, thepower assistforthe steering wheelwillbe
reduced. Thisisto prevent overheating ofthe electric
power steering systemandprotect itfrom getting
damaged. Whilethepower assistisreduced, steering
wheel operation willbecome heavy.When the
temperature ofthe electric powersteering system
goes down, thepower assistlevelwillreturn tonormal.
Avoid repeating suchsteering wheeloperations that
could cause theelectric powersteering systemto
overheat.
Y ou may hear africative soundwhenthesteering
wheel isoperated quickly.However, thisisnot a
malfunction.
If the electric powersteering warninglight
illuminates whiletheengine isrunning, itmay indicate
the electric powersteering systemisnot functioning
properly andmay need servicing. Havetheelectric

BRAKE ASSIST
GUID-FAF 01B0B-7CB4-4828-9 4D6-A67EB1907396
When theforce applied tothe brake pedalexceeds a
certain level,theBrake Assist isactivated generating
greater braking forcethanaconventional brake
booster evenwithlight pedal force.
WARNING:
The Brake Assist isonly anaid toassist braking
operation andisnot acollision warningor
avoidance device.Itis the driver's responsibility
to stay alert, drivesafely andbeincontrol ofthe
vehicle atall times.
ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
T32A130 827-683C35 C0-5BE2-4929-8230-2F12153688C 3
WARNING:
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)isa
sophisticated device,butitcannot prevent
accidents resultingfromcareless ordanger-
ous driving techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking onslippery
surfaces. Remember thatstopping distances
on slippery surfaces willbelonger thanon
normal surfaces evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger onrough,
gravel orsnow covered roads,orifyou are
using tirechains. Always maintain asafe
distance fromthevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible for
safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso affect
braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install thespeci-
fied size oftires onallfour wheels. Ð
When installing aspare tire,make sure
that itis the proper sizeandtype as
specified onthe tire placard. (SeeªTire
placardº (P.9-9) .)
Ð For detailed information, seeªTires and
wheelsº (P.8-36) .
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls the
brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hardbraking
or when braking onslippery surfaces. Thesystem
detects therotation speedateach wheel andvaries
the brake fluidpressure toprevent eachwheel from
locking andsliding. Bypreventing eachwheel from
locking, thesystem helpsthedriver maintain steering
control andhelps tominimize swerving andspinning
on slippery surfaces.
Using system
T32A130 827-E23B0 C95-6959-4 B5D-B45D-1644E60AD E90
Depress thebrake pedalandhold itdown. Depress
the brake pedal withfirmsteady pressure, butdonot
pump thebrakes. TheABS willoperate toprevent the
wheels fromlocking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid
obstacles.
WARNING:
Do not pump thebrake pedal. Doingsomay
result inincreased stoppingdistances.
Self-test feature
T32A1308 27-DA8726AA -9312-4804-BB85-3 097CB09683D
The ABS includes electronic sensors,electricpumps,
hydraulic solenoids andacomputer. Thecomputer has
a built-in diagnostic featurethattests thesystem each
time youstart theengine andmove thevehicle atalow
speed inforward orreverse. Whentheself-test
occurs, youmay hear aªclunkº noiseand/or feela
pulsation inthe brake pedal. Thisisnormal anddoes
not indicate amalfunction. Ifthe computer sensesamalfunction,
itswitches theABS offand illuminates the
ABS warning lightonthe meter. Thebrake system then
operates normally,but without anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates duringtheself-test
or while driving, havethevehicle checked bya
NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
T32A130 827-E5A825 64-C0DC-4321-8A21-CC D22D746C00
The ABS operates atspeeds above5to 10 km/h (3to
6 MPH) .The speed variesaccording toroad condi-
tions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels are
close tolocking up,the actuator rapidlyapplies and
releases hydraulic pressure. Thisaction issimilar to
pumping thebrakes veryquickly .You may feela
pulsation inthe brake pedalandhear anoise from
under thehood orfeel avibration fromtheactuator
when itis operating. Thisisnormal andindicates that
the ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsation
may indicate thatroad conditions arehazardous and
extra careisrequired whiledriving.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS) (ifequipped)
GUID-5E03 39A0-2DD1- 4BAB-A41C-59B791FC2 152
WARNING:
. Ifthe low tirepressure warninglightillumi-
nates whiledriving, avoidsudden steering
maneuvers orabrupt braking, reducevehicle
speed, pulloffthe road toasafe location
and stop thevehicle assoon aspossible.
Driving withunder-inflated tiresmayperma-
nently damage thetires andincrease the
likelihood oftire failure. Serious vehicle
damage couldoccurandmay lead toan
accident andcould result inserious personal
injury. Check thetire pressure forallfour
tires. Adjust thetire pressure tothe recom-
mended COLDtirepressure shownonthe
tire placard toturn thelow tirepressure
warning lightoff.Ifthe light stillilluminates
while driving afteradjusting thetire pres-
sure, atire may beflat. Ifyou have aflat tire,
replace itwith aspare tire(ifequipped) as
soon aspossible.
. When aspare tireismounted orawheel is
replaced, theTPMS willnotfunction andthe
low tirepressure warninglightwillflash for
approximately 1minute. Thelight willre-
main onafter the1minute. Contact a
NISSAN dealerassoon aspossible fortire
replacement and/orsystem resetting.
. Replacing tireswiththose notoriginally
specified byNISSAN couldaffect theproper
operation ofthe TPMS.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS) monitors
tire pressure ofall tires except thespare. Whenthelow tire
pressure warninglightislit, one ormore ofyour
tires issignificantly under-inflated. Ifthe vehicle is
being driven withlowtirepressure, theTPMS will
activate andwarn youofitby the low tirepressure
warning light(inthe meter panel).This system will
activate onlywhen thevehicle isdriven atspeeds
above 25km/h (16MPH) .
