Starting and driving for Your Nissan Juke SUV 2020

RUNNING-IN SCHEDULE  
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE  
During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these  
recommendations for the future reliability and  
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the  
recommendations may result in shortened engine  
life and reduced engine performance.  
Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-  
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent in-  
jury in the event of a sudden stop.  
WARNING  
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be  
changed remarkably by any additional load and  
its distribution as well as by adding optional  
equipment(trailercouplings,roofracks,etc.).Your  
driving style and speed have to be adjusted ac-  
cordingly. Especially when carrying heavy loads,  
your speed must be reduced adequately.  
Avoid driving for long periods at a constant  
speed, either fast or slow.  
Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.  
Avoid quick starts.  
Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of  
Avoid hard braking as much as possible.  
obstacles.  
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km  
(500 miles).  
Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,  
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid  
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you  
refuel.  
Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and  
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for  
proper inflation.  
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and  
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-  
odically.  
Check that all windows and light lenses are  
clean.  
Check that all doors are closed.  
Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.  
Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.  
Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to  
do likewise.  
Check the operation of the warning/indicator  
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the  
ON position.

open and have the vehicle inspected immedi-  
ately.  
To prevent luggage or packages from sliding  
forward during braking, do not stack anything  
in the cargo area higher than the seatbacks.  
The exhaust system and body should be in-  
spected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-  
shop whenever:  
Do not run the engine in closed spaces, such  
as a garage, for any longer than is absolutely  
necessary.  
Secure all cargo with ropes or straps to pre-

NOTE  
1) Open all the windows.  
During the first few months after purchasing a  
new vehicle, if you smell strong odours of Volatile  
Organic Compounds (VOCs) inside the vehicle,  
ventilate the passenger compartment thor-  
oughly. Open all the windows before entering or  
while in the vehicle. In addition, when the tem-  
perature in the passenger compartment rises, or  
when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight for a  
period of time, turn off the air recirculation mode  
of the air conditioner and/or open the windows  
to allow sufficient fresh air into the passenger  
compartment.

manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre infla-  
tion pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a dif-  
ferent size than the size indicated on the vehicle

ciency and tyre tread life which may affect the vehi-  
cle’s handling and stopping ability.  
The TPMS indicator light may not automatically  
turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted. Af-  
ter the tyre is inflated to the recommended  
COLD tyre pressure, drive the vehicle at speeds  
above 25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS.  
See “New and repositioned TPMS sensors (in-  
cluding fitment of alternative wheels)” later in  
this section  
Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-  
just the tyre pressure to the recommended  
COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre placard  
to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In case  
of a flat tyre, replace it with a spare tyre as  
soon as possible. (See “Flat tyre” in the “6. In  
case of emergency” section for changing a flat  
tyre.)

tion of the TPMS indicator light a .  
The TPMS indicator light flashes for a short period  
and then turns on continuously if the system is not  
operating properly. This sequence will continue  
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the  
malfunction exists (missing or faulty TPMS sensor  
or TPMS system malfunction). When the malfunc-  
tion warning light is illuminated, the system may  
not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as  
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari-  
ety of reasons including the installation of replace-  
ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle  
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.  
Always check the TPMS indicator light after replac-  
ing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to  
ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and  
wheels allow theTPMS to continue to function prop-  
erly.  
For additional information, see “[Check cold tyre]  
message” later in this section.  
Replacing tyres with those not originally  
specified by NISSAN could affect the proper  
operation of the TPMS.

If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while  
driving:  
The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tyre Repair  
Sealant or equivalent can be used for tempo-  
rarily repairing a tyre. Do not inject any other

pull off the road to a safe location  
stop the vehicle as soon as possible  
NISSAN recommends using only Genuine  
NISSAN EmergencyTyre Sealant provided with  
your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may damage  
the valve stem seal which can cause the tyre  
to lose air pressure. Visit a NISSAN dealer or  
qualified workshop as soon as possible after  
using tyre repair sealant (for models equipped  
with the emergency tyre puncture repair kit).  
The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of  
the spare tyre.  
Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-  
nently damage the tyres and increase the like-  
lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage  
could occur which may lead to an accident and  
could result in serious personal injury.  
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is  
driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also,  
this system may not detect a sudden drop in  
tyre pressure (for example a flat tyre while driv-  
ing).  
188 Starting and driving  
Fit the valve caps properly. Without the valve  
caps the valve and tyre pressure monitor sen-  
sors could be damaged.  
CAUTION  
The TPMS may not function properly when the  
wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the  
wheels are buried in snow.  
Do not damage the valves and sensors when  
storing the wheels or fitting different tyres.  
Do not place metallised film or any metal parts  
(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may  
cause poor reception of the signals from the  
tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not  
function properly.  
Replace the TPMS sensor valve stem (includ-  
ing valve core and cap) and screw (where fit-  
ted) when the tyres are replaced due to wear  
or age. The screw (where fitted) must be fitted  
correctly with a torque setting of 1.4 0.1 N.m.  
The TPMS sensors can be used again.  
Some devices and transmitters may tempo-  
rarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS  
and cause the TPMS indicator light to illumi-  
nate. Some examples are:  
Use caution when using tyre inflation equip-  
ment with a rigid air supply tube, as leverage  
applied by the long nozzle can damage the  
valve stem.  
Facilities or electric devices using similar  
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.  
If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is  
being used in or near the vehicle.  
If a computer (or similar equipment) or a  
DC/AC converter is being used in or near  
the vehicle.  
If devices which transmit electrical noise  
are connected to the vehicle's 12V power  
supply.  
When inflating the tyres and checking the tyre  
pressure, never bend the valves.  
Use Genuine NISSAN valve caps that comply  
with the factory-fitted valve cap specifica-  
tions.  
Do not use metal valve caps.

ADJUSTING TPMS TARGET  
PRESSURE  
The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle in-  
formation display to set the target pressure to the  
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard. See  
“Settings” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-  
tion. To adjust the target pressure use the steering  
wheel switches to select the [Settings] menu, fol-  
lowed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select [Target front] and  
[Target rear] and set the desired tyre pressure.  
TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION  
The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of  
the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the  
car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the  
tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings  
due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system  
uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform  
temperature compensation calculations.  
The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the  
centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen  
of the vehicle information display.  
On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate  
the TPMS system reference temperature using the  
vehicle information display. See “Settings” in the  
“2. Instruments and controls” section. This opera-  
tion should only be performed when the actual tyre  
pressure has been adjusted, whilst the current am-  
bient temperature is significantly different to the  
current calibration temperature.

ON-ROAD AND OFF-ROAD  
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS  
THREE-WAY CATALYST  
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover  
rate than other types of vehicles.  
TO HELP PREVENT DAMAGE  
The three-way catalyst is an emission control de-  
vice installed in the exhaust system.In the converter,  
exhaust gases are burned at high temperatures to  
help reduce pollutants.  
They have higher ground clearance than passenger  
cars to make them capable of performing in a wide  
variety of on-road and off-road applications. This  
gives them a higher centre of gravity than ordinary  
cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance is a  
better view of the road, allowing you to anticipate  
problems. However, they are not designed for cor-  
nering at the same speeds as conventional two-  
wheel drive (2WD) vehicles any more than low-slung  
sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily  
under off-road conditions. If possible, avoid sharp  
turns or abrupt manoeuvres, particularly at high  
speeds. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to  
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of  
control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover accident an  
unbelted person is significantly more likely to be in-  
jured than a person who is wearing a seat belt.  
CAUTION  
Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY, specifically the  
recommended type. For details, see “Capaci-  
ties and recommended fluids/lubricants” in  
the “9. Technical information” section.  
CAUTION  
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are

very hot. While the engine is running, keep  
people or flammable materials away from the  
exhaust pipe.  
Deposits from leaded petrol will seriously re-  
duce the three-way catalyst's ability to help  
reduce exhaust pollutants.  
Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable  
materials such as dry grass, waste paper or  
rags, as they may burn easily.  
Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in  
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-  
tems can cause over-rich fuel flow into the  
converter, causing it to overheat.  
When parking, ensure that people or  
flammable materials are kept away from the  
exhaust pipe.  
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level.  
Running out of fuel could cause the engine to  
misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.  
Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or if  
noticeable loss of performance or other un-  
usual operating conditions are detected. Have  
the vehicle inspected promptly by a NISSAN  
dealer or qualified workshop.  
Do not race the engine while warming it up.  
Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the  
engine.

GASOLINE PARTICULATE FILTER  
(GPF) (where fitted)  
though there may be other engine manage-  
ment malfunctions that may cause this light  
to come on). Also, GPF saturation/clogging  
may result in reduced engine performance  
and engine speed limitation.  
What you can do yourself to prevent the GPF from  
becoming saturated/clogged:  
If your vehicle is fitted with a petrol engine, a Gaso-  
line Particulate Filter (GPF) (or Petrol Particulate Fil-  
ter) may be fitted as part of the emission control  
system.  
Avoid repeated and frequent short journeys in  
which the engine does not reach its normal op-  
erating temperature.  
The GPF filters carbon particles from the exhaust  
gas, thus reducing the emission of soot to the envi-  
ronment.  
Regularly drive the vehicle at speeds over 60  
km/h for an extended period of time (more than  
30 minutes).  
Under normal driving conditions, the accumulated  
carbon particles in the GPF are burned-off regularly,  
thus emptying the filter from carbon particles. In  
this way, the GPF is “regenerated” and again fully  
operational to filter out the carbon particles from  
the exhaust gas as intended.

people of flammable materials away from the  
exhaust pipe.  
Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable  
materials such as dry grass, waste paper or  
rags, as they may burn easily.  
Should the MIL or MWL come on for any rea-  
son, or if the [Exhaust filter maintenance]  
warning message appears in the vehicle in-  
formation display, always visit a NISSAN dealer  
or qualified workshop as soon as possible. Ex-  
tended driving with the MIL/MWL illuminated  
may lead to damage to the engine control  
system.  
When parking, ensure that people or  
flammable materials are kept away from the  
exhaust pipe.  
Under certain less-favourable driving condi-  
tions, the GPF may become saturated/  
clogged because these driving conditions pre-  
vent automatic regeneration of the filter. In  
this case, a message is displayed in the ve-

Starting and driving 193  
TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM  
CARE WHEN DRIVING  
The turbocharger system uses engine oil for lubri-  
cation and cooling of its rotating components. The  
turbocharger turbine turns at extremely high  
speeds and it can reach an extremely high tempera-  
ture. It is essential to maintain a flow of clean oil  
through the turbocharger system. A sudden inter-  
ruption to the oil supply may cause a malfunction in  
the turbocharger.  
Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is es-  
sential for your safety and comfort. As a driver, you  
should be the one who knows best how to drive in  
the given circumstances.  
DRIVING UNDER WINTER  
CONDITIONS  
Drive safely.  
Avoid starting off, accelerating or stopping sud-  
denly.  
ENGINE COLD START PERIOD  
Due to the higher engine speeds when the engine is  
cold, extra caution must be exercised when select-  
ing a gear during the engine warm-up period after  
starting the engine.  
Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.  
Avoid sudden steering actions.  
To ensure prolonged life and performance of the  
turbocharger, it is essential to comply with the fol-  
lowing maintenance procedure:  
Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle  
in front.  
LOADING LUGGAGE  
Loads, their distribution and the attachment of  
equipment (coupling devices, roof luggage carriers,  
etc.) will change the driving characteristics of the  
vehicle considerably. Driving style and speed must  
be adjusted accordingly.  
CAUTION  
Change the engine oil of the turbo-charged  
engine as prescribed. See the separately pro-  
vided Warranty Information & Maintenance  
Booklet for additional information.  
DRIVING ON WET ROADS  
Use only the recommended engine oil. See

NIC3783  
The Intelligent Key system can operate the ignition  
switch without taking the key out from your pocket  
or bag. The operating environment and/or condi-  
tions may affect the Intelligent Key system opera-  
tion.  
The Intelligent Key can only be used for starting the  
engine when the Intelligent Key is within the speci-  
fied operating range  
as illustrated.  
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost  
discharged or strong radio waves are present near  
the operating location, the Intelligent Key system’s  
operating range becomes narrower and may not  
function properly.

WARNING  
Listed below are the system limitations for the  
BSW/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system.  
Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with  
these system limitations could result in serious  
injury or death.  
NIC3774  
The BSW/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention  
THE BSW AND INTELLIGENT BLIND  
SPOT INTERVENTION SYSTEMS:  
system is not a replacement for proper driving  
procedure and is not designed to prevent con-  
tact with vehicles or objects. When driving, al-  
ways use the side and rear mirrors and always  
turn your head and look in the direction you  
will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.  
Never rely solely on the BSW system.  
SSD1030Z  
Detection zone  
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side  
of your vehicle within the detection zone shown as  
illustrated. This detection zone starts from the out-  
side mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-  
mately 3.0 m (10 ft) behind the rear bumper, and  
approximately 3.0 m (10 ft) sideways.  
There is a limitation to the detection capabil-  
ity of the radar. Using the BSW and Intelligent  
Blind Spot Intervention systems under some  
road, lane marker or weather conditions could  
lead to improper system operation. Always  
rely on your own operation to avoid accidents.  
The BSW system operates above approximately 32  
km/h (20 MPH). If the radar sensors detect vehicles  
in the detection zone, the BSW LED indicator light  
illuminates. If the driver then activates the turn sig-  
nal, the system chimes a sound (twice) and the BSW  
LED indicator light will flash.  
NIC3802  
The BSW system operates at speeds above  
approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).  
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Intelligent Blind  
Spot Intervention systems can help alert the driver  
of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing  
lanes.  
The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system oper-  
ates above approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH). If the  
radar detects a vehicle in the detection zone and  
your vehicle is approaching the lane marker, the  
systems chime a sound (three times), flashes the  
BSW LED indicator light, and slightly applies the  
brakes on one side for a short period of time to help  
return the vehicle back to the travelling lane.  
The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system  
operates at speeds above approximately 60  
km/h (37 MPH).

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system pro-  
vides an audible warning and turns on or flashes  
the BSW LED indicator light even if the BSW system  
is off.  
If the turn signal is then activated, the system  
chimes (twice) and the BSW LED indicator light  
flashes. The BSW LED indicator light continues to  
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the detection  
zone.  
BSW temporary disabled status  
When radar blockage is detected, the BSW system  
will be turned off automatically. The [Not available  
Side radar obstructed] warning message will ap-  
pear in the vehicle information display.  
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION  
The BSW LED indicator light illuminates for a few  
seconds when the ignition is placed in the ON posi-  
tion. The brightness of the side indicator light is ad-  
justed automatically depending on the brightness  
of ambient light.  
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.  
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after the  
driver activates the turn signal, then only the BSW  
LED indicator light flashes and no chime sounds.  
For additional information, see “Another vehicle ap-  
proaching from behind” later in this section.  
System malfunction  
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will be turned off  
automatically. The [Not available System Malfunc-  
tion] warning message will appear and BSW indica-  
tor (yellow) on in the vehicle information display.

proaching a lane marker, the system chimes a  
sound (three times) and the BSW LED indicator light  
flashes. Then the system applies the brakes on one  
side of the vehicle for a moment to help return the  
vehicle back to the centre of the lane. Intelligent  
Blind Spot Intervention operates regardless of turn  
signal usage.  
NOTE  
Warning and brake control will only be activated  
if the BSW LED indicator light is already illumi-  
nated when your vehicle approaches

The radar sensors are designed to ignore most  
stationary objects, however objects such as  
guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles  
may occasionally be detected. This is a nor-  
mal operating condition.  
When towing a trailer or other vehicle.  
Excessive noise (for example, audio system  
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere  
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.  
When strong light enters a lane camera  
unit. (For example: light directly shines on  
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sun-  
set.)  
Severe weather or road spray conditions may  
reduce the ability of the radar to detect other  
vehicles.  
When a sudden change in brightness oc-  
curs. (For example: when the vehicle enters

(RCTA) SYSTEM (where fitted)  
The blocked condition may also be caused by  
objects such as ice, frost, or dirt obstructing the  
radar sensors. Check for and remove objects ob-  
structing the area around the radar sensors.  
Do not attach a sticker (including transparent  
material) or install an accessory near the cam-  
era unit.  
WARNING  
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for  
proper use of the RCTA system could result in se-  
rious injury or death.  
Do not place reflective materials, such as white  
paper or a mirror, on the instrument panel. The  
reflection of sunlight may adversely affect the  
camera unit's detection capability.  
Do not attach stickers (including transparent  
material), install accessories, or apply additional  
paint near the radar sensors  
The RCTA system is not a replacement for  
proper driving procedures and is not designed  
to prevent contact with vehicles or objects.  
When reversing out of a parking space, always  
use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look  
in the direction your vehicle will move. Never  
rely solely on the RCTA system.  
Do not attach metallic objects near the sensor  
area (brush guard, etc.). This could cause failure  
or malfunction.  
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,  
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.  
Do not strike or damage the area around the  
radar sensors. If the area around the radar sen-  
sors is damaged due to an accident, it is recom-  
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer or quali-  
fied workshop.  
The RCTA system will assist you when reversing out  
of a parking space. When the vehicle is in reverse,  
the system is designed to detect other vehicles ap-  
proaching from the right or left of the vehicle. If the  
system detects cross traffic, it will alert you.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS  
(manual transmission vehicles)  
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is de-  
signed to maintain a selected distance and reduce  
the speed to match the slower vehicle ahead; the  
system will decelerate the vehicle as necessary.  
However, the ICC system can only apply up to ap-  
proximately 40% of the vehicle's total braking  
power. This system should only be used when traf-  
fic conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly  
constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually.  
If a vehicle moves into the travelling lane ahead or if  
a vehicle travelling ahead rapidly decelerates, the  
distance between vehicles may become closer be-  
cause the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle  
quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system will  
sound a warning chime and blink the system dis-

The following items are controlled in the vehicle-to-  
vehicle distance control mode:  
The ICC system does not control vehicle speed or

moving vehicles. You must pay attention to vehicle  
operation to maintain proper distance from vehicles  
ahead when approaching toll gates or traffic con-  
gestion.  
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode  
switches:  
The system is operated by a Drive Assist switch and  
four control switches, all mounted on the steering  
wheel.  
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode  
maintains the speed set by the driver. The set  
speed range is between approximately 30 and  
160 km/h (20 and 100 MPH).  
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on  
winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you will have to  
manually control the vehicle speed and change  
gear as required.  
When there is a vehicle travelling ahead, the ve-  
hicle-to-vehicle distance control mode adjusts  
the speed to maintain the distance, selected by  
driver, from the vehicle ahead. The adjusting  
speed range is between approximately 30 km/h  
(20 MPH) and up to the set speed  
NOTE  
Changing gear does not cancel ICC.  
When the vehicle travelling ahead has moved  
Normally when controlling the distance to a vehicle  
ahead, this system automatically accelerates or de-  
celerates your vehicle according to the speed of the  
vehicle ahead. Depress the accelerator to properly  
accelerate your vehicle when acceleration is  
required for a lane change. Depress the brake pedal  
when deceleration is required to maintain a safe  
distance to the vehicle ahead due to its sudden  
braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when

When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead , the  
ICC system decelerates the vehicle by controlling  
the throttle and applying the brakes to match the  
speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The system then  
controls the vehicle speed based on the speed of  
the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver selected  
distance. Gear shifting may be required depending  
on conditions.  
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to re-  
sume the previously set vehicle speed. The ICC sys-  
tem then maintains the set speed.  
When a vehicle is no longer detected the vehicle

If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to  
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system is  
in operation, the system controls the distance to  
that vehicle.

celerate the vehicle to help initiate passing on the  
right and will begin to reduce the distance to ve-  
hicle directly ahead. Only the right side turn signal  
operates this feature. As the driver steers the ve-  
hicle and moves into the passing lane, if no vehicle  
is detected ahead the ICC system will continue to  
accelerate to the ICC system set speed.  
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead  
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if an-  
other vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver  
with the chime and ICC system display. Decelerate  
by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe  
vehicle distance if:  
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by ve-  
hicle operation (steering manoeuvre or driving po-  
sition in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition (for  
example, if a vehicle is being driven with some dam-  
age).

Some examples are:  
When the ICC system is engaged above 60 km/h (37  
MPH) and following a slower vehicle (below ICC set  
speed), and the turn signal is activated to the left,  
the ICC system will automatically start to accelerate  
the vehicle to help initiate passing on the left and  
will begin to reduce the distance to vehicle directly  
ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates this  
feature. As the driver steers the vehicle and moves  
into the passing lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead  
the ICC system will continue to accelerate to the  
ICC system set speed.

roads, in heavy rain or in fog.  
On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may  
go beyond the set vehicle speed and fre-  
quent braking may result in overheating  
the brakes)  
As there is a performance limit to the distance  
control function, never rely solely on the ICC  
system. This system does not correct careless,  
inattentive or absent-minded driving, or over-  
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad  
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by de-  
pressing the brake pedal, depending on the

limitations:  
Do not use the ICC system if you are towing a  
trailer or another vehicle.  
The system may not detect the vehicle in front  
of you in certain road or weather conditions.  
To avoid accidents, never use the ICC system  
under the following conditions:  
WARNING  
The radar sensor will not detect the following ob-  
jects:  
Listed below are the system limitations for the  
ICC system. Failure to operate the vehicle in ac-  
cordance with these system limitations could re-  
sult in serious injury or death.  
Stationary and slow moving vehicles  
On roads where the traffic is heavy or there  
are sharp curves  
Pedestrians or objects in the roadway  
The system is primarily intended for use on  
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane  
straight, dry, open roads with light traffic. It is  
not advisable to use the system in city traffic  
or congested areas.  
On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or  
snow, etc.  
Motorcycles and other vehicles travelling offset  
in the travel lane  
During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)  
The sensor generally detects the signals returned  
from the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the sensor can-  
not detect the reflection from the vehicle ahead, the  
ICC system may not maintain the selected distance.  
This system will not adapt automatically to  
road conditions. This system should be used  
When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the sys-  
tem sensor  
Starting and driving 247  
The following are some conditions in which the sen-  
sor cannot detect the signals:  
When snow or road spray from travelling ve-  
hicles reduces the sensor's visibility  
When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the  
rear seat or the luggage compartment of your  
vehicle  
When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.  
The ICC system is designed to automatically check  
the sensor's operation within the limitation of the  
system. When the sensor is covered with dirt or is  
obstructed, the system will automatically be can-  
celled. If the sensor is covered with ice, a transpar-  
ent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC system may  
not detect them. In these instances, the vehicle-to-  
vehicle distance control mode may not cancel and  
may not be able to maintain the selected following  
distance from the vehicle ahead. Be sure to check  
and clean the sensor regularly.  
NSD775  
The detection zone of the radar sensor is limited. A  
vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for the  
vehicle-to-vehicle distance detection mode to  
maintain the selected distance from the vehicle  
ahead.  
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detection  
zone due to its position within the same lane of  
travel. Motorcycles may not be detected in the same  
lane ahead if they are travelling offset from the  
centre line of the lane. A vehicle that is entering the  
lane ahead may not be detected until the vehicle  
has completely moved into the lane. If this occurs,  
the ICC system may warn you by blinking the sys-  
tem indicator and sounding the chime. The driver  
may have to manually control the proper distance  
away from vehicle travelling ahead.  
248 Starting and driving  
Condition B:  
The chime will sound and the [Not available Front  
Radar Blocked] warning message will appear in the  
vehicle information display.  
When the radar sensor area is covered with dirt  
or is obstructed, making it impossible to detect  
a vehicle ahead, the ICC system is automatically  
cancelled.  
Action to take:  
If the warning message appears, park the vehicle in  
a safe place and turn the engine off. When the radar  
signal is temporarily interrupted, clean the sensor  
area and restart the engine. The system will need  
some time to detect that the sensor area is now  
clean. If the warning message continues to be dis-  
played, have the ICC system checked by a NISSAN  
dealer or qualified workshop.  
NSD679  
When driving on some roads, such as winding, hilly,  
curved, narrow roads, or roads which are under  
construction, the radar sensor may detect vehicles  
in a different lane, or may temporarily not detect a  
vehicle travelling ahead. This may cause the ICC sys-  
tem to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle.

when going up or down steep hills. If this hap-  
pens, manually maintain vehicle speed.  
When the vehicle reaches the set speed limit or if  
the set speed limit is lower than the actual vehicle  
speed, the accelerator pedal will not work until the  
vehicle speed drops below the set speed limit.  
To cancel the preset speed, use any of the follow-  
ing methods:  
System temporarily unavailable  
A chime sounds and the control is automatically  
cancelled under the following conditions:  
When the actual vehicle speed exceeds the set  
speed, an audible warning will be heard a short time

tem cannot be operated.  
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of the  
following three methods:  
When a wheel slips.  
When the clutch pedal is depressed for longer  
than approximately 8 seconds.  
Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle  
attains the desired speed, push and release the  
<SET/-> switch.

hicle operation to maintain proper distance from  
vehicles ahead when approaching toll gates or  
traffic congestion.  
ProPILOT ICC system operation  
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is de-  
signed to maintain a selected distance and reduce  
the speed to match the slower vehicle ahead; the  
system will decelerate the vehicle as necessary and  
if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle  
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC system  
can only apply up to approximately 40% of the vehi-  
cle's total braking power. This system should only  
be used when traffic conditions allow vehicle  
speeds to remain fairly constant or when vehicle  
speeds change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the  
travelling lane ahead or if a vehicle travelling ahead  
rapidly decelerates, the distance between vehicles  
may become closer because the ICC system cannot  
decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs,  
the ICC system will sound a warning chime and blink  
the system display to notify the driver to take nec-  
essary action.  
When driving on the motorway at a set speed and  
approaching a slower travelling vehicle ahead, the  
ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain the dis-  
tance, selected by the driver, from the vehicle ahead.  
If the vehicle ahead changes lanes or exits the mo-  
torway, the ICC system accelerates and maintains  
the speed up to the set speed. Pay attention to the  
driving operation to maintain control of the vehicle  
as it accelerates to the set speed.  
When the vehicle travelling ahead moves to a  
different travelling lane, while the vehicle speed  
is above 30 km/h (20 MPH), the ICC system ac-  
celerates and maintains vehicle speed up to the  
set speed.  
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on  
winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you will have to  
manually control the vehicle speed.  
When the vehicle travelling ahead moves to a  
different travelling lane, while the vehicle speed  
is below 30 km/h (20 MPH), the ICC system can-  
cels and a warning chime sounds.  
Normally when controlling the distance to a vehicle  
ahead, the system automatically accelerates or de-  
celerates your vehicle according to the speed of the  
vehicle ahead.

The ICC system operates as follows:  
When there are no vehicles travelling ahead, the  
ICC system maintains the speed set by the driver.  
The set speed range is above approximately

When there is a vehicle travelling ahead, the ICC  
system adjusts the speed to maintain the dis-

the road conditions. The ICC system maintains the  
set vehicle speed, similar to standard cruise control,  
as long as no vehicle is detected in the lane ahead.  
The ICC system displays the set speed.  
luminates (solid green  
).  
Vehicle ahead stops:  
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to stop, your  
vehicle decelerates to a standstill. Once your vehicle  
stops, the ICC system automatically applies the  
brakes to keep the vehicle stopped. When your ve-  
hicle is at a standstill, the [Press to start] message is  
displayed on the Vehicle Information Display.  
When passing another vehicle, the set speed indica-  
tor flashes when you override ICC by pressing the  
accelerator and the vehicle speed exceeds the set  
speed. When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-  
turns to the previously set speed. Even though your  
vehicle speed is set in the ICC system, you can de-  
press the accelerator pedal when it is necessary to  
accelerate your vehicle rapidly.  
Vehicle detected ahead:  
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the  
ICC system decelerates the vehicle by controlling  
the throttle and applying the brakes to match the  
speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system  
then controls the vehicle speed based on the speed  
of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver selected  
distance.  
NOTE  
When your vehicle stops for less than 3 seconds,  
your vehicle will automatically follow the vehicle  
ahead as it accelerates from a stop. If your vehicle  
is stationary for more than approximately 3 min-  
utes, the ICC system will be switched off and the  
electronic parking brake will be applied.  
NOTE  
The brake lights of the vehicle come on when  
braking is performed by the ICC system.  
Starting and driving 275  
Approach warning:  
NOTE  
If another vehicle is detected ahead, then the ve-  
hicle will accelerate up to the following speed of that  
vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the left lane  
to pass, the acceleration will stop after a short time  
and regain the set following distance.  
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead  
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if an-  
other vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver  
with the chime and ICC system display. Decelerate  
by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe  
vehicle distance if:  
The approach warning chime may sound and the  
system display may flash when the radar sensor  
detects objects on the side of the vehicle or on  
the side of the road. This may cause the ICC sys-  
tem to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The  
radar sensor may detect these objects when the  
vehicle is driven on winding, narrow, or hilly roads  
or when the vehicle is entering or exiting a curve.  
In these cases, you will have to manually control  
the proper distance ahead of your vehicle.  
Acceleration can be stopped at any point by de-  
pressing the brake pedal or the <CANCEL> switch  
on the steering wheel.  
The chime sounds.  
Passing on the right-hand side:  
The vehicle ahead detection indicator and set  
distance indicator blink.  
When the ICC system is engaged above 60 km/h  
(37 MPH) and following a slower vehicle (below ICC  
set speed), and the turn signal is activated to the  
right, the ICC system will automatically start to ac-  
celerate the vehicle to help initiate passing on the  
right and will begin to reduce the distance to ve-  
hicle directly ahead. Only the right side turn signal  
operates this feature. As the driver steers the ve-  
hicle and moves into the passing lane, if no vehicle  
is detected ahead the ICC system will continue to  
accelerate to the ICC system set speed.  
You judge it necessary to maintain a safe dis-  
tance.  
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by ve-  
hicle operation (steering manoeuvre or driving po-  
sition in the lane) or traffic or vehicle conditions (for  
example, if a vehicle is being driven with some dam-  
age).  
The warning chime may not sound in some cases  
when there is a short distance between vehicles.  
Some examples are:  
When the vehicles are travelling at the same  
speed and the distance between vehicles is not  
changing.  
Acceleration when passing:  
Passing on the left-hand side:  
When the ICC system is engaged above 60 km/h (37  
MPH) and following a slower vehicle (below ICC set  
speed), and the turn signal is activated to the left,  
the ICC system will automatically start to accelerate  
the vehicle to help initiate passing on the left and  
will begin to reduce the distance to vehicle directly  
ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates this  
feature. As the driver steers the vehicle and moves  
into the passing lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead  
the ICC system will continue to accelerate to the  
ICC system set speed.  
When the vehicle ahead is travelling faster and  
the distance between vehicles is increasing.  
If another vehicle is detected ahead, then the ve-  
hicle will accelerate up to the following speed of that  
vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the right  
lane to pass, the acceleration will stop after a short  
time and regain the set following distance.  
When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.  
The warning chime will not sound when:  
Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that are  
parked or moving slowly.  
Acceleration can be stopped at any point by de-  
pressing the brake pedal or the <CANCEL> switch  
on the steering wheel  
The accelerator pedal is depressed, overriding  
the system.  
276 Starting and driving  
As there is a performance limit to the distance  
control function, never rely solely on the ICC  
system. This system does not correct careless,  
inattentive or absent minded driving or over-  
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad  
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by de-  
pressing the brake pedal, depending on the  
distance to the vehicle ahead and the  
surrounding circumstances in order to main-  
tain a safe distance between vehicles.  
When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the  
bumper around the distance sensor  
WARNING  
In order to reduce the risk of a collision that may  
result in serious injury or death, please be aware  
of the following:  
On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may  
go beyond the set vehicle speed and fre-  
quent braking may result in overheating  
the brakes)  
This function is only activated with the left or  
right turn signal and will briefly accelerate the  
vehicle even if a lane change is not initiated.  
This can include non-passing situations such  
as left or right side exits.  
On repeated uphill and downhill roads  
When traffic conditions make it difficult to  
keep a proper distance between vehicles  
because of frequent acceleration or decel-  
eration  
Ensure that when passing another vehicle, the

Interference by other radar sources.  
Do not use the ICC system if you are towing a  
trailer or another vehicle.  
In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle or  
object can unexpectedly come into the sensor  
detection zone and cause automatic braking.  
Always stay alert and avoid using the ICC sys-  
tem where not recommended in this warning  
section.  
Always pay attention to the operation of the  
vehicle and be ready to manually control the  
proper following distance.The ICC system may  
not be able to maintain the selected distance  
between vehicles (following distance) or se-  
lected vehicle speed under some circum-  
stances.  
ICC system limitations  
WARNING  
Listed below are the system limitations for the  
ICC system. Failure to operate the vehicle in ac-  
cordance with these system limitations could re-  
sult in serious injury or death:  
The ICC system will not detect the following objects:  
The system may not detect the vehicle in front  
of you in certain road or weather conditions.  
To avoid accidents, never use the ICC system  
under the following conditions:  
The ICC system is primarily intended for use  
Stationary or slow moving vehicles  
on straight, dry, open roads with light traffic. It  
is not advisable to use the ICC system in city  
traffic or congested areas.  
Pedestrians or objects in the roadway  
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane  
On roads with heavy, high-speed traffic or  
sharp curves  
Motorcycles travelling offset in the travel lane  
The ICC system will not adapt automatically to  
road conditions. This system should be used  
in evenly flowing traffic. Do not use the sys-  
temonroadswithsharpcurvesoronicyroads,  
in heavy rain or in fog.  
On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or  
snow, etc.  
During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)  
Starting and driving 277  
The following are some conditions in which the ra-  
dar sensor cannot properly detect a vehicle ahead  
and the system may not operate properly:  
When the sensor detection is reduced (condi-  
tions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand-  
storms, and road spray from other vehicles).  
Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with  
sharp curves.  
Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an un-  
even dirt road.  
NSD775  
If dirt, ice, snow or other material is covering the  
radar sensor area.  
The detection zone of the radar sensor is limited. A  
vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for the  
ICC system to maintain the selected distance from  
the vehicle ahead. A vehicle ahead may move out-  
side of the detection zone due to its position within  
the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be de-  
tected in the same lane ahead if they are travelling  
offset from the centre line of the lane. A vehicle that  
is entering the lane ahead may not be detected un-  
til the vehicle has completely moved into the lane.  
A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car car-  
rier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is near the ve-  
hicle ahead.  
Interference by other radar sources.  
When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.  
When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the  
rear seat or cargo area of your vehicle.  
The ICC system is designed to automatically check  
the radar sensor’s operation within the limitations  
of the system.  
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you by blink-  
ing the system indicator and sounding the chime.  
The driver may have to manually control the proper  
distance away from the vehicle travelling ahead.  
278 Starting and driving  
Automatic cancellation  
The following are conditions in which the ICC sys-  
tem may be temporarily unavailable. In these in-  
stances, the ICC system may not cancel and may  
not be able to maintain the selected following dis-  
tance from the vehicle ahead.  
Condition A:  
Under the following conditions, the ICC system is  
automatically cancelled. A chime will sound and the  
system will not be able to be set:  
NSD679  
Any door is open  
The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.  
When driving on some roads, such as winding, hilly,  
curved, narrow roads, or roads which are under  
construction, the radar sensor may detect vehicles  
in a different lane, or may temporarily not detect a  
vehicle travelling ahead. This may cause the radar  
system to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle.  
The ICC system (with ProPILOT) uses a multi-sens-  
ing front camera. The following are some conditions  
in which the camera may not properly detect a ve-  
hicle and detection of a vehicle ahead may be de-  
layed:  
The vehicle ahead is not detected and your ve-  
hicle is travelling below the speed of 25 km/h  
(15 MPH).  
Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC sys-

vehicle operation (steering manoeuvre or travelling  
position in the lane, etc.) or vehicle condition.  
When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) or  
Manual mode.  
The camera area of the windscreen is fogged up  
or covered with dirt, water drops, ice, snow, etc.  
The electronic parking brake is applied.  
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you by blink-  
ing the system indicator and sounding the chime  
unexpectedly. You will have to manually control the  
proper distance away from the vehicle travelling

The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-  
developed motorways or highways with  
gentle (moderate) curves, where traffic travel-  
ling in opposing directions is separated with a  
barrier. To avoid risk of an accident, do not use  
this system on local or non-highway roads.  
ProPILOT Steering Assist operation  
The Steering Assist controls the steering system to  
help keep your vehicle near the centre of the lane  
when driving. The Steering Assist is combined with  
the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system. For addi-  
tional information, refer to “Intelligent Cruise Con-  
trol (ICC) (vehicles with ProPILOT)” earlier in this sec-  
tion.  
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.  
The Steering Assist only steers the vehicle to  
maintain its position in the centre of a lane.  
The vehicle will not steer to avoid objects in  
the road in front of the vehicle or to avoid a  
vehicle moving into your lane.  
If the camera unit is damaged due to an accident,  
have it checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified  
workshop.  
The Steering Assist can be activated when the fol-  
lowing conditions are met:  
The ICC system is activated and the speed set.  
It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert,  
drive safely, keep the vehicle in the travelling  
lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all  
times. Never take your hands off the steering  
wheel when driving. Always keep your hands  
on the steering wheel and drive your vehicle  
safely.

ing and roadway conditions, the system may help  
the driver avoid a forward collision or may help miti-  
gate the consequences of a collision, should one be  
unavoidable. If the driver is handling the steering  
wheel, accelerating or braking, the IEB system will  
function later or will not function.  
When the IEB system is turned off, the IEB system  
warning light will illuminate.  
IEB system operation  
The IEB system will function when your vehicle is  
driven at speeds above approximately  
(3 MPH). For the pedestrian and cyclist detection  
function, the IEB system operates at speeds be-  
tween 10 and 80 km/h (6 and 50 MPH). The autono-  
mous brake operates at speeds lower than 60 km/h  
(37 MPH).  
5 km/h  
NOTE  
Disabling the ESP system causes the Intelli-  
gent Emergency Braking system to become  
unavailable regardless of settings selected in  
the Vehicle Information Display.  
The automatic braking will cease under the follow-  
ing conditions:  
The IEB system will be automatically turned  
ON when the engine is restarted.  
When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-  
essary to avoid a collision.  
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the IEB  
system will first provide a warning to the driver by  
flashing the warning (white) in the vehicle informa-  
tion display and providing an audible alert. In addi-  
tion, the IEB system applies partial braking. If the  
driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully, but  
the IEB system detects that there is still the possi-  
bility of a forward collision, the system will auto-  
matically increase the braking force.  
IEB system limitations  
When there is no longer a vehicle or pedestrian  
or cyclist detected ahead.  
WARNING  
If the IEB system has stopped the vehicle, the ve-  
hicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2  
seconds before the brakes are released.  
Listed below are the system limitations for the  
IEB system. Failure to operate the vehicle in ac-  
cordance with these system limitations could re-  
sult in serious injury or death.  
Turning the Intelligent Emergency  
Braking (IEB) system ON/OFF  
Perform the following steps to turn the IEB system  
ON or OFF.  
If the driver does not take action, the IEB system  
issues the second visual warning (flashing red and  
white) and audible warning, then the system ap-  
plies partial braking. If the risk of a collision becomes  
imminent, the IEB system applies harder braking  
automatically.  
The IEB system cannot detect all vehicles, pe-  
destrians or cyclists under all conditions.  
The IEB system does not detect the following  
objects:  
1. Using the  
or

check, clean and clear sensor areas regularly.  
The camera area of the windscreen is  
fogged up, covered with dirt, water drops,  
ice, snow, etc.  
If a stationary vehicle is in the vehicle's  
path, the IEB system will not function when  
the vehicle is driven at speeds over  
approximately 80 km/h (50 MPH).  
In some road or traffic conditions, the IEB sys-  
tem may unexpectedly apply partial braking.  
When acceleration is necessary, continue to  
depress the accelerator pedal to override the  
system.  
Strong light (e.g. sunlight or high beams  
from oncoming vehicles) enters the front  
camera. Strong light causes the area  
around the pedestrian or cyclist to be cast  
in shadow, making it difficult to see.  
For pedestrian and cyclist detection, the  
IEB system will not function when the ve-  
hicle is driven at speeds over approxi-  
mately 80 km/h (50 MPH) or below  
approximately 10 km/h (6 MPH). The auto-  
matic brake operates at speeds below 60

proper use of the Intelligent Driver Alertness sys-  
tem could result in serious injury or death.  
1. Use the  
or  
button on the steering  
wheel until [Settings] is shown on the Vehicle In-  
formation Display.  
The Intelligent Driver Alertness system is only  
a warning to inform the driver of a potential  
lack of driver attention or drowsiness. It will  
not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control.  
2. Use the  
or  
button to select [Driver As-  
sistance]. Then push <OK>.  
The Intelligent Driver Alertness system does  
not detect and provide an alert of the driver's  
lack of attention or fatigue in every situation.

stay alert,  
If the system detects that driver fatigue increases  
or that driver attention is decreasing, the message  
[Take a break?] appears in the Vehicle Information  
Display and a chime sounds when the vehicle is  
driven at speeds above 60 km/h (37 MPH).  
As long as the ProPILOT system (where fitted)  
drive safely,  
is activated the Intelligent Driver Alertness  
system will be deactivated. Turning off the  
ProPILOT system reactivates the Intelligent  
Driver Alertness system.  
keep the vehicle in the travelling lane,  
be in control of the vehicle at all times,  
avoid driving when tired,  
avoid distractions (texting, etc.).  
The system continuously monitors driver attention  
and can provide multiple warnings per trip.  
Intelligent Driver Alertness Limitations  
The system resets and starts reassessing driving  
style and steering behaviour when the ignition  
switch is cycled from the ON to the OFF position  
and back to the ON position.  
The Intelligent Driver Alertness system helps alert  
the driver if the system detects a lack of attention  
or driving fatigue.  
WARNING  
Listed below are the system limitations for the  
Intelligent Driver Alertness system. Failure to op-  
erate the vehicle in accordance with these sys-  
tem limitations could result in serious injury or  
death.  
The system will not operate when the ProPILOT sys-  
tem is switched on.  
The system monitors driving style and steering be-  
haviour over a period of time,and it detects changes  
from the normal pattern. If the system detects that  
driver attention is decreasing over a period of time,  
the system uses an audible and visual warning to  
suggest that the driver take a break.  
The system will not operate when the ICC system is  
switched on.  
The Intelligent Driver Alertness system may  
not operate properly and may not provide an  
alert in the following conditions:  
Poor road conditions such as an uneven  
road surface or pot holes.  
Strong side wind.

Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-  
rials, such as dry grass, waste paper, or rags.  
They may ignite and cause a fire.  
Depress the clutch pedal and place the shift lever in  
the R (Reverse) position. When parking on an uphill  
gradient, place the shift lever in the 1st (Low gear)  
position.  
Frequent lane changes or changes to ve-  
hicle speed.  
Safe parking procedures require that:  
The Intelligent Driver Alertness system may  
not provide an alert in the following condi-  
tions:  
Automatic (DCT) transmission models:  
The parking brake is applied.  
Fully depress the brake pedal and move the shift  
lever to the P (Park) position.  
The shift lever is placed in an appropriate  
gear for manual transmission models.

Short lapses of attention.  
Make sure that the shift lever has been pushed as  
far forward as it can go and cannot be moved  
without depressing the button on the shift lever  
handle.  
Instantaneous distractions such as drop-  
ping an object.  
Failure to follow the above recommendations  
could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly  
or roll away and result in an accident.  
System Malfunction  
Never leave the engine running while the ve-  
hicle is unattended.  
If the Intelligent Driver Alertness system malfunc-  
tions, the [Driver Attention Alert System fault] warn-  
ing message will appear in the Vehicle Information  
Display and the function will be stopped automati-  
cally.  
Do not leave children unattended inside the  
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate  
switches or controls, or move the vehicle. Un-  
attended children could become involved in  
serious accidents.  
Action to take:  
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, and then turn off  
and restart the engine. If the warning message con-  
tinues to appear, have the Intelligent Driver Alert-  
ness system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-  
fied workshop.  
To help avoid risk of injury or death through  
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its  
systems, do not leave children, people who re-  
quire the assistance of others or pets unat-  
tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-  
perature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day  
can quickly become high enough to cause a  
significant risk of injury or death to people and  
pets.  
308 Starting and driving  
When parked on a sloping driveway, turn the wheels  
so the vehicle will not roll into the street in case it  
moves.  
FACING DOWNHILL:  
Turn the wheels into the kerb, allow the vehicle to  
move forward until the kerb side wheel gently  
touches the kerb. Then set the parking brake.  
FACING UPHILL:  
Turn the wheels away from the kerb and allow the  
vehicle to move back until the kerb side wheel gen-  
tly touches the kerb. Then set the parking brake.  
NO KERB — FACING DOWNHILL OR UPHILL:  
Turn the wheels toward the side of the road so the  
vehicle will move away from the centre of the road  
if it moves. Then set the parking brake.  
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and  
remove the key.  
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and  
remove the key/Intelligent Key (where fitted).

Remember that towing a trailer will place additional  
loads on your vehicle's engine, drive-train, steering,  
braking and other systems. Towing a trailer will also  
exaggerate other conditions, such as sway caused  
by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or passing  
trucks. Driving style and speed must be adjusted  
according to the circumstances. Before towing a

The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods  
are distributed over the axle and as low in the  
trailer as possible. Poor load distribution can se-  
riously affect the stability of the trailer and tow  
vehicle.  
When towing a trailer, observe the following re-  
stricted towing speed:  
TRAILER DETECTION (where fitted)  
When towing a trailer and the turn signal switch is  
used, the electrical system of the vehicle will detect  
an additional electrical load of the trailer lighting. As  
a result, the trailer direction indicator light comes  
on.  
Speed: below 100 km/h (62 MPH)  
CAUTION  
Do not exceed the maximum permitted vertical  
load on the trailer hitch.  
While towing a trailer, check the engine coolant  
temperature gauge regularly to prevent engine  
overheating.  
INSTALLATION OF COUPLING  
DEVICE  
NISSAN recommends that the coupling device for  
trailer towing be installed under the following con-  
ditions:  
Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-  
tem of the trailer works properly.  
TYRE PRESSURE  
Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration and stops.  
Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.  
When towing a trailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to the  
maximum recommended COLD tyre pressure, as in-  
dicated on the tyre placard (for full loading). Make  
sure the trailer tyre pressures are correct.  
Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed.  
Maximum permissible vertical load on the cou-  
pling device: 736 N (75 kg, 165 lb)  
Always block the wheels on both vehicle and  
trailer when parking. Apply the handbrake  
(where fitted) on the trailer. Parking on a steep  
slope is not recommended.  
The coupling device,mounting points and instal-  
lation parts on your vehicle: as shown as an ex-  
ample in the illustration.  
CAUTION  
Do not tow a trailer when the vehicle is installed  
with a temporary-use spare tyre.  
If parking on a steep slope is unavoidable it is  
also advisable to put the vehicle into gear, or se-  
lect P (Park (Automatic (DCT) models)), and turn  
the front wheels into the kerb (in addition to the  
other precautions described). Before parking on  
a steep slope consider the incline (the towing  
weights quoted are for a 12% slope).  
Follow all of the coupling device manufacturer's in-  
structions for installation and use.  
SAFETY CHAINS  
Always use a suitable chain between the vehicle and  
trailer. The chain should be attached to the hitch  
and not to the vehicle bumper or axle. Be sure to  
leave enough slack in the chain to permit turning  
corners. The chain should not drag on the ground:  
passing the chain across the trailer hitch may be  
the best practice depending on your trailer.  
Follow the trailer manufacturer's instructions.  
Have your vehicle serviced more often than at  
the intervals specified in the separately provided  
Warranty Information and Maintenance booklet.  
TRAILER BRAKES  
Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as required  
by local regulations. Also check that all other trailer  
equipment conforms to local regulations.  
Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-  
mal circumstances because of a considerable  
increase in traction power required and resis-  
tance.

VEHICLE SECURITY  
When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:  
Always remove the ignition key and take it with  
you – even in your own garage.  
Always remove the ignition key or Intelligent Key  
(where fitted) and take it with you – even in your  
own garage.  
Close all windows completely and lock all doors.  
Always park your vehicle where it can be seen.  
At night, park in a well lit area.  
If the vehicle is equipped with an alarm or im-  
mobilization device, use it – even for short peri-  
ods.  
Do not leave children and pets in the vehicle un-  
attended.  
Do not leave valuables on view to tempt a thief.  
Always take your valuables with you. If you must  
leave something in your vehicle, lock it in the lug-  
gage compartment or hide it out of sight.  
Do not leave the vehicle documents in your ve-  
hicle. In the unfortunate event of your vehicle  
being stolen, the documents will only help a thief  
to sell the vehicle.

POWER STEERING  
Do not leave a note of your vehicle's key number  
in the vehicle. A thief may break into the vehicle,  
note the key number and return with a new key  
and drive the vehicle.  
You may hear a noise when the steering wheel is  
operated quickly. However, this is not a malfunc-  
tion.  
WARNING  
If the engine is not running or is turned off  
while driving, the power assistance for the  
steering will not work. The steering will be  
harder to operate.  
If the electric power steering warning light  
il-  
luminates while the engine is running, it may indi-  
cate the electric power steering system is not func-  
tioning properly and may need servicing. Have the  
electric power steering system checked by a NISSAN  
dealer or qualified workshop. (See “ Electric Power  
Steering warning light” in the “2. Instruments and  
controls” section.)  
When the electric power steering warning  
light illuminates with the engine running, the  
power assistance for the steering will cease  
operation. You will still have control of the ve-  
hicle but the steering will be harder to operate.  
When the electric power steering warning light illu-  
minates with the engine running, the power assis-  
tance for the steering will cease operation. You will  
still have control of the vehicle. However, greater  
steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns  
and at low speeds.  
The electric power steering system is designed to  
provide power assistance while driving to allow you  
to operate the steering wheel with light force.  
NOTE  
When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly  
or continuously while parking or driving at a very  
low speed, the power assistance for the steering  
wheel will be reduced.This is to prevent overheat-  
ing of the electric power steering system and pro-  
tect it from becoming damaged. While the power  
assistance is reduced, steering wheel operation  
will become heavy. When the temperature of the  
electric power steering system decreases, the

repeating such steering wheel operations that  
could cause the electric power steering system

BRAKE SYSTEM  
The brake system has two separate hydraulic cir-  
cuits. If one circuit malfunctions, two wheels will still  
have braking ability.  
downhill gradient. Overheated brakes may reduce  
braking performance and could result in loss of ve-  
hicle control.  
Driving downhill  
The engine braking action is effective for control-  
ling the vehicle while descending hills.  
BRAKE PRECAUTIONS  
Vacuum assisted brake  
The brake booster aids braking by using engine  
vacuum or vacuum from an engine-driven pump. If  
the engine stops or the drive belt is broken, you can  
stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal.  
However, greater foot pressure on the brake pedal  
will be required to stop the vehicle and the stopping  
distance will be longer.  
The shift lever (MT models) should be placed in a  
gear position low enough to obtain sufficient en-  
gine braking.  
CAUTION  
While driving on a slippery surface, be careful  
when braking, accelerating or downshifting.  
Abrupt braking actions or sudden acceleration  
could cause the wheels to skid and result in an  
accident.  
For Automatic (DCT) transmission models, a low  
gear position in the manual shift mode, low enough  
to obtain sufficient engine braking, should be se-  
lected.  
Be aware that brakes will fade if repeated heavy  
brake applications are made.  
Wet brakes  
Driving uphill  
When the vehicle is washed or driven through wa-  
ter, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your braking  
distance will be longer and the vehicle may pull to  
one side during braking.  
When starting on a steep gradient, it is sometimes  
difficult to operate the brake or both the brake and  
clutch (MT models). Use the parking brake to hold  
the vehicle. Do not slip the clutch (MT models). When  
ready to start, make sure that the shift lever is in an  
appropriate forward or reverse driving position,  
slowly release the parking brake while depressing  
the accelerator pedal and releasing the clutch (MT  
models) or depressing the accelerator pedal (Auto-  
matic (DCT) transmission models). If your vehicle  
has an electric parking brake, this will automatically  
release when you depress the accelerator pedal and  
release the clutch (MT models) or depress the accel-  
erator pedal (Automatic (DCT) transmission mod-  
els).  
To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed while  
lightly pressing the brake pedal to heat up the  
brakes. Do this until the brakes return to normal.  
Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds until the  
brakes function correctly.  
Using the brakes  
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while  
driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the  
brake linings and pads faster and reduce fuel  
economy performance.  
To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the  
brakes from overheating, reduce speed and shift to  
a lower gear before going down a slope or long  
Starting and driving 315  
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM  
(ABS)  
maintain steering control and helps to minimise  
swerving and spinning on slippery surfaces.  
NORMAL OPERATION  
WARNING  
The ABS operates at speeds above 5 to 10 km/h  
(3 to 6 MPH). The speed varies according to road  
conditions.  
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a so-  
USING SYSTEM  
phisticated device, but it cannot prevent acci-  
dents resulting from careless or dangerous  
driving techniques. It can help maintain ve-  
hicle control during braking on slippery sur-  
faces. Remember that stopping distances on  
slippery surfaces will be longer than on nor-  
mal surfaces even with ABS. Stopping  
distances may also be longer on rough, gravel  
or snow covered roads, or if you are using  
snow chains. Always maintain a safe distance  
from the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the  
driver is responsible for safety.  
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down. Depress  
the brake pedal with firm steady pressure, but do  
not pump the brakes. The ABS will operate to pre-  
vent the wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle  
to avoid obstacles.  
When the ABS senses that one or more wheels are  
close to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies and  
releases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar to  
pumping the brakes very quickly. You may feel a pul-  
sation in the brake pedal and hear a noise from un-  
der the bonnet or feel a vibration from the actuator  
when it is operating. This is normal and indicates  
that the ABS is operating properly. However, the pul-  
sation may indicate that road conditions are haz-  
ardous and extra care is required while driving.  
WARNING  
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may re-  
sult in increased stopping distances.  
SELF-TEST FEATURE  
Tyre type and condition may also affect brak-  
ing effectiveness.  
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric pumps,  
hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The computer  
has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the sys-  
tem each time you start the engine and move the  
vehicle at a low speed in forward or reverse. When  
the self-test occurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise  
and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. This is  
normal and does not indicate a malfunction. If the  
computer senses a malfunction, it switches the ABS  
off and illuminates the ABS warning light on the in-  
strument panel. The brake system then operates  
normally, but without anti-lock assistance.  
When replacing tyres, install the specified  
size of tyres on all four wheels.  
When installing a spare tyre, make sure  
that it is the proper size and type as speci-  
fied on the tyre placard. (See “Vehicle  
identification” in the “9. Technical  
information” section.)  
For detailed information, see “Wheels and  
tyres” in the “8. Maintenance and  
do-it-yourself” section.  
If the ABS warning light illuminates during the self-  
test or while driving, have the vehicle checked by a  
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.  
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls the  
brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard brak-  
ing or when braking on slippery surfaces. The sys-  
tem detects the rotation speed at each wheel and  
varies the brake fluid pressure to prevent each  
wheel from locking and sliding. By preventing each  
wheel from locking, the system helps the driver  
316 Starting and driving  
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP) SYSTEM (where fitted)  
When accelerating, driving on slippery surfaces or  
suddenly avoiding obstacles on roads, the vehicle  
might swerve or slip. The Electronic Stability Pro-  
gramme (ESP) system continuously monitors and  
compares the driver's intended speed and the travel  
direction. The system adjusts wheel brake pressure  
and engine torque to assist in improving vehicle  
stability.  
If the vehicle is operated with the ESP system turned  
off, all ESP and TCS functions will be turned off. The

WARNING  
The ESP system uses Active Brake Limited Slip  
(ABLS) system to improve vehicle traction. The Ac-  
tive Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) system works when  
one of the driving wheels is spinning on a slippery  
surface. The Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) sys-  
tem, brakes the spinning wheel to distribute the  
driving power to the other driving wheel.

WARNING  
The Active Trace Control may not be effective de-  
pending on the driving condition. Always drive  
carefully and attentively.  
When driving in deep snow or mud.  
Use the Vehicle Information Display, or restart the  
engine, to turn the system ON. See “Vehicle infor-  
mation display” in the “2. Instruments and controls”  
section for operational details.  
When trying to rock a vehicle free that is  
stuck in snow.  
The Active Trace Control senses driving based on  
the driver’s steering and acceleration/braking pat-  
terns, and controls brake pressure at corners and  
help smooth vehicle response.  
When driving with snow chains.  
If the ESP system has been switched off, drive  
carefully with reduced speed. When road con-  
ditions allow, ESP should be switched back on.  
The Active Trace Control system can be set to ON  
(enabled) or OFF (disabled) using the [Driver Assis-  
tance] settings in the Vehicle Information Display.  
See “[Driver Assistance]” in the “2. Instruments and  
controls” section for more information.  
ELECTRONIC STABILITY  
PROGRAMME (ESP) DEACTIVATION  
The vehicle should be driven with the Electronic Sta-  
bility Programme (ESP) system ON for most driving  
conditions.  
When the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) sys-  
tem is turned OFF, the Active Trace Control is also  
turned OFF.  
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the ESP sys-  
tem reduces the engine output to decrease wheel  
spin. The engine speed will be reduced even if the  
accelerator is depressed to the floor. If maximum  
engine power is needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn  
the ESP system off.  
To turn off the ESP system, Use the Vehicle Informa-  
tion Display, see “Vehicle information display” in the  
“2. Instruments and controls” section for operational  
details. The ESP OFF indicator light (

When the Active Trace Control is operating, you may  
feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise.  
This is normal and indicates that the Active Trace  
Control is operating properly.  
Chassis control  
This system senses upper body motion (based on  
wheel speed information) and controls four wheel  
brake pressure. This will enhance ride comfort in ef-  
fort to restrain uncomfortable upper body move-  
ment when passing over undulated road surfaces.  
You may also feel deceleration when the Active  
Trace Control is operating. However, this is not a  
malfunction.  
Even if the Active Trace Control is set to OFF, some  
functions will remain on to assist the driver (for ex-  
ample, avoidance scenes).

system to prevent the vehicle from moving  
backward on a hill. Always drive carefully and  
attentively. Depress the brake pedal when the  
vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be especially  
careful when stopped on a hill on frozen or  
muddy roads. Failure to prevent the vehicle  
from rolling backwards may result in a loss of  
control of the vehicle and possible serious in-  
jury or death.  
The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by  
applying the footbrake.  
The slope is greater than 3 degrees.  
The maximum holding time is 2 seconds. After 2  
seconds the vehicle will begin to roll back and the  
Hill Start Assist system will stop operating com-  
pletely.

The Hill Start Assist system is not designed to  
hold the vehicle at a standstill on a hill. De-  
press the brake pedal when the vehicle is  
stopped on a steep hill. Failure to do so may  
cause the vehicle to roll backwards and may  
result in a collision or serious personal injury.  
The Hill Start Assist system will not operate when  
the shift lever is shifted to the N (Neutral) or P (Park)  
position or on a flat and level road.  
When the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) OFF  
indicator light illuminates in the meter, the Hill Start  
Assist system will not operate. (See “Electronic Sta-  
bility Programme (ESP) OFF indicator light (where  
fitted)” in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.)  
The Hill Start Assist system may not prevent  
the vehicle from rolling backwards on a hill un-  
der all load or road conditions. Always be pre-  
pared to depress the brake pedal to prevent  
the vehicle from rolling backwards. Failure to  
do so may result in a collision or serious per-  
sonal injury.  
The Hill Start Assist function status can be checked  
in the [Chassis Control] mode in the Vehicle Infor-  
mation Display. If the [Chassis Control] screen is se-  
lected, the vehicle is displayed on a slope. The  
wheels flash to show that the car is being held.  
The Hill Start Assist system automatically keeps the  
brakes applied to help prevent the vehicle from roll-  
ing backwards in the time it takes the driver to re-  
lease the brake pedal and apply the accelerator  
when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.

COLD WEATHER DRIVING  
3) Snow chains may be used, if desired. But the use  
of snow chains may be prohibited in some ar-  
eas. Therefore, check the local laws before in-  
stalling snow chains. When installing snow  
chains, make sure they are of proper size for the  
tyres on your vehicle and are installed according  
to the snow chain manufacturer's instructions.  
Use chain tensioners when recommended by  
the snow chain manufacturer to ensure a tight  
fit. Loose end links of the snow chain must be  
secured or removed to prevent the possibility of  
whipping action damage to the wings or under-  
carriage. In addition, drive at a reduced speed,  
otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/  
or vehicle handling and performance may be ad-  
versely affected.  
BATTERY  
WARNING  
If the battery is not fully charged during extremely  
cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may  
freeze and damage the battery. To maintain maxi-  
mum efficiency, the battery should be checked  
regularly. For details, see “Battery” in the “8. Mainte-  
nance and do-it-yourself” section.  
Whatever the conditions, drive with caution.  
Accelerate and decelerate with great care. If  
accelerating or decelerating too fast, the drive  
wheels will lose even more traction.  
Allow more stopping distance in cold weather  
driving.Braking should be started sooner than  
on dry surfaces.  
ENGINE COOLANT  
Keep at a greater distance from the vehicle in  
front of you on slippery roads.  
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-freeze,  
drain the cooling system. Refill before operating the  
vehicle. For details, see “Engine cooling system” in  
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.  
Wet ice (0°C, 32°F and freezing rain), very cold  
snow and ice can be slick and very difficult to  
drive on. The vehicle will have a lot less trac-  
tion or grip under these conditions. Try to  
avoid driving on wet ice until the road is salted  
or sanded.  
TYRE EQUIPMENT  
1) The SUMMER tyres are of a tread design to pro-  
vide superior performance on dry surfaces.  
However, the performance of these tyres will be  
substantially reduced in snowy and icy condi-  
tions. If you operate your vehicle on snowy or icy  
roads, NISSAN recommends the use of MUD &  
SNOW or ALL SEASON tyres on all four wheels.  
Please consult a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-  
shop for tyre type, size, speed rating and avail-  
ability information.  
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT  
It is recommended to carry the following items in  
the vehicle during winter:  
Watch for slippery spots (black ice). These may  
appear on an otherwise clear road in shaded  
areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead, brake  
before driving on it. Try not to brake while ac-  
tually on the ice and avoid any sudden steer-  
ing manoeuvres.  
A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice  
and snow from the windows.  
A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack  
to give it firm support.  
Do not use cruise control (where fitted) on slip-  
A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.  
pery roads.  
2) For additional traction on icy roads, studded ty-  
res may be used. However, some countries, prov-  
inces and states prohibit their use. Check appli-  
cable laws before installing studded tyres.  
Extra windscreen washer fluid to refill the reser-  
voir tank.  
Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gas under  
your vehicle. Keep snow clear of the exhaust  
pipe and from around your vehicle.  
CAUTION  
Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow  
tyres on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer  
than that of non-studded snow tyres.  
322 Starting and driving  
CORROSION PROTECTION  
Chemicals used for road surface de-icing are ex-  
tremely corrosive and will accelerate corrosion and  
the deterioration of underbody components such  
as the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake  
cables, floor pan, and wings.  
In the winter, the underbody must be cleaned pe-  
riodically. For additional information, see “Corro-  
sion protection” in the “7. Appearance and care”  
section.  
For additional protection against rust and corro-  
sion, which may be required in some areas, consult  
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
