If the driver’s seat belt is unfastened

when the brake force is maintained

by the automatic brake hold func-

tion, the electronic parking brake

will apply automatically.

If the ignition switch is placed in the

CAUTION

The electronic parking brake is automati-

cally released as soon as the vehicle

starts while the accelerator pedal is

depressed.

When parking in an area where the

outside temperature is below 32°F

(0°C), do not apply the parking brake

to prevent it from freezing.

For safe parking, place the shift lever

in the 1 (1st) or R (Reverse) position

and securely block the wheels.

WARNING

.

The electronic parking brake will

not be automatically applied

when the engine is stopped with-

out using the ignition switch (for

example, by engine stalling).

Manual operation

The electronic parking brake will not be

automatically applied if the engine is

stopped without using the ignition switch

(for example, by engine stalling). In such a

case, you have to apply the parking brake

manually.

NOTE:

To keep the electronic parking brake

released after the engine is turned

off, place the ignition switch in the

OFF position, depress the brake

pedal and push down the parking

brake switch before opening the

driver’s door.

AUTOMATIC BRAKE HOLD (if so equipped)

NOTE:

The automatic brake hold function main-

tains the braking force without the driver

having to depress the brake pedal when

the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or

intersection. As soon as the driver de-

presses the accelerator pedal again, the

light will continue to illuminate for a

short period of time.

.

A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is

driven without releasing the parking

brake. See “Audible reminders” (P.2-

18).

While the electronic parking brake is

applied or released, an operating

sound is heard from the lower side

of the rear seat. This is normal and

does not indicate a malfunction.

When the electronic parking brake is

frequently applied and released in a

short period of time, the parking

brake may not operate in order to

prevent the parking brake system

from overheating. If this occurs,

operate the electronic parking brake

switch again after waiting approxi-

mately 1 minute.

.

WARNING

.

The automatic brake hold func-

tion is not designed to hold the

vehicle on a steep hill or slippery

road. Never use the automatic

brake hold when the vehicle is

stopped on a steep hill or slippery

road. Failure to do so may cause

the vehicle to move.

When the automatic brake hold

function is activated but fails to

maintain the vehicle at a stand-

still, depress the brake pedal to

stop the vehicle. If the vehicle

unexpectedly moves due to out-

side conditions, the chime may

sound and automatic brake hold

warning may illuminate in the

vehicle information display.

.

If the electronic parking brake must

be applied while driving in an emer-

gency, pull up and hold the parking

brake switch. When you release the

parking brake switch, the parking

brake will be released.

While pulling up the electronic park-

ing brake switch during driving, the

LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

— When driving in a makeshift or

temporary lane.

— When driving on roads where

the lane width is too narrow.

— When driving without normal

tire conditions (for example,

tire wear, low tire pressure,

installation of spare tire (if so

equipped), tire chains, non-

standard wheels).

— When the vehicle is equipped

with non-original brake parts

or suspension parts.

— On roads where there are

sharply contrasting objects,

such as shadows, snow,

water, wheel ruts, seams or

lines remaining after road re-

pairs. (The LDW system could

detect these items as lane

markers.)

— On roads where the traveling

lane merges or separates.

— When the vehicle’s traveling

direction does not align with

the lane marker.

— When traveling close to the

vehicle in front of you, which

obstructs the lane camera

unit detection range.

— When rain, snow, dirt or object

adheres to the windshield in

front of the lane camera unit.

— When the headlights are not

bright due to dirt on the lens

or if the aiming is not adjusted

properly.

— When strong light enters the

lane camera unit. (For exam-

ple, the light directly shines on

the front of the vehicle at

sunrise or sunset.)

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-

tions for the LDW system. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions

for proper use of the LDW system

could result in serious injury or

death.

.

The system will not operate at

speeds below approximately 37

MPH (60 km/h) or if it cannot

detect lane markers.

.

The system may not function

properly under the following con-

ditions:

.

Excessive noise will interfere with

the warning chime sound, and

the chime may not be heard.

Do not use the LDW system under

the following conditions as it may

not function properly:

— On roads where there are

multiple parallel lane markers;

lane markers that are faded or

not painted clearly; yellow

painted lane markers; non-

standard lane markers; or

lane markers covered with

water, dirt, snow, etc.

— On roads where discontinued

lane markers are still detect-

able.

— On roads where there are

sharp curves.

— During bad weather (rain, fog,

snow, etc.).

— When driving on slippery

roads, such as on ice or snow.

— When driving on winding or

uneven roads.

— When there is a lane closure

due to road repairs.

Action to take:

After the above conditions have finished

and the necessary operating conditions

are satisfied, the LDW system will resume.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

If the LDW system malfunctions, it will

cancel automatically and “Malfunction”

will appear in the vehicle information

display. If “Malfunction” appears in the

vehicle information display, pull off the

road to a safe location and stop the

vehicle. Place the ignition switch in the

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

The lane camera unit

for the LDW

system is located above the inside mirror.

To keep the proper operation of the LDW

system and prevent a system malfunc-

tion, be sure to observe the following:

.

Always keep the windshield clean.

Condition B:

Do not attach a sticker (including

transparent material) or install an

accessory near the camera unit.

The warning function of the LDW system

is not designed to work under the follow-

ing conditions:

.

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 capability of detecting

the lane markers.

INTELLIGENT LANE INTERVENTION (I-LI)

.

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, it is recommended that you

visit a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use of the I-LI

system could result in serious injury

or death.

.

The I-LI system will not steer the

vehicle or prevent loss of control.

It is the driver’s responsibility to

stay alert, drive safely, keep the

vehicle in the traveling lane, and

be in control of the vehicle at all

times.

WAC0198X

.

The I-LI system is primarily in-

tended for use on well-developed

freeways or highways. It may not

detect the lane markers in certain

road, weather, or driving condi-

tions.

The I-LI system warns the driver if the

vehicle has left the center of the traveling

lane with the I-LI indicator and chime, and

helps assist the driver to return the

vehicle to the center of the traveling lane

by applying the brakes to the left or right

wheels individually (for a short period of

time).
