WARNING:

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

tions for proper use of the Intelligent Emer-

gency Braking system could result in serious

personal injury or death.

sibility to drive safely. It cannot prevent

accidents due to carelessness or danger-

ous driving techniques.

.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking sys-

tem does not function in all driving,

traffic, weather and road conditions.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking system can

assist the driver when there is

a risk of a

forward collision with the vehicle ahead in the

traveling lane.

JVS0956X

The Intelligent Emergency Braking system uses

a radar sensor

located on the front of the

vehicle to measure the distance to the vehicle

ahead in the same lane.

Starting and driving 5-133

Emergency Braking system detects that there

is still the possibility of a forward collision, the

system will automatically increase the braking

force.

If the driver does not take action, the Intelligent

Emergency Braking system issues the second

visual (flashing) (red) and audible warning. If the

driver releases the accelerator pedal, then the

system applies partial braking.

If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the

Intelligent Emergency Braking system applies

harder braking automatically.

While the Intelligent Emergency Braking system

is operating, you may hear the sound of brake

operation. This is normal and indicates that the

Intelligent Emergency Braking system is oper-

ating properly.

NOTE:

The vehicle’s stop lights come on when

braking is performed by the Intelligent Emer-

gency Braking system.

Depending on vehicle speed and distance to

the vehicle ahead, as well as driving and road-

way conditions, the system may help the driver

avoid a forward collision or may help mitigate

the consequences of a collision should one be

unavoidable.

If the driver is handling the steering wheel,

accelerating or braking, the Intelligent Emer-

gency Braking system will function later or will

not function.

WARNING:

Listed below are the system limitations for

the Intelligent Emergency Braking system.

Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance

with these system limitations could result in

serious injury or death.

.

In some road or traffic conditions, the

Intelligent Emergency Braking system

may unexpectedly push the accelerator

pedal up or apply partial braking. When

acceleration is necessary, continue to

depress the accelerator pedal to override

the system.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking sys-

tem may react a roadside object (traffic

sign, guard rail etc.).

.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking sys-

tem cannot detect all vehicles under all

conditions.

.

The radar sensor does not detect the

following objects:

— Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in

the roadway

.

Braking distances increase on slippery

surfaces.

The system is designed to automatically

check the sensor’s functionality, within

certain limitations. The system may not

detect some forms of obstruction of the

sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,

for example. In these cases, the system

may not be able to warn the driver

properly. Be sure that you check, clean

and clear the sensor area regularly.

— Oncoming vehicles

— Crossing vehicles

.

The radar sensor has some performance

limitations. If a stationary vehicle is in the

vehicle’s path, the Intelligent Emergency

Braking system will not function when

the vehicle is driven at speeds over

approximately 80 km/h (50 MPH).

.

Excessive noise will interfere with the

warning chime sound, and the chime

may not be heard.

The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle

ahead in the following conditions:

5-136 Starting and driving

Condition B

In the following condition, the Intelligent Emer-

gency Braking system warning light (orange)

will illuminate and the “Not available: Front

radar obstructed” warning message will appear

in the vehicle information display.

.

The sensor area on the front of the vehicle

is covered with dirt or is obstructed.

Action to take

If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop the

vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine off.

Clean the radar cover on the front of the

vehicle with a soft cloth, and restart the engine.

If the warning light continues to illuminate,

have the Intelligent Emergency Braking system

checked by a NISSAN dealer.

SSD0253

When driving on some roads, such as winding,

hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads which are

under construction, the sensor may detect

vehicles in a different lane, or may temporarily

not detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This may

cause the system to work inappropriately.

The detection of vehicles may also be affected

by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or

traveling position in the lane, etc.) or vehicle

condition. If this occurs, the system may warn

you by blinking the system indicator and

sounding the chime unexpectedly. You will

have to manually control the proper distance

away from the vehicle traveling ahead.

When driving on roads with limited road

structures or buildings (for example, long

INTELLIGENT EMERGENCY BRAKING

WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM

LIMITATIONS

— Strong light (for example, sunlight or

high beams from oncoming vehicles)

enters the front camera. Strong light

causes the area around the pedes-

trian to be cast in a shadow, making it

difficult to see.

— For pedestrian detection, the Intelli-

gent Emergency Braking system will

not function when the vehicle is

driven at speeds over approximately

60 km/h (37 MPH) or below approxi-

mately 10 km/h (6 MPH).

WARNING:

Listed below are the system limitations for

the Intelligent Emergency Braking system.

Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance

with these system limitations could result in

serious injury or death.

— A sudden change in brightness oc-

curs. (For example, when the vehicle

enters or exits a tunnel or a shaded

area or lightning flashes.)

.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking sys-

tem may not function for pedestrians in

darkness or in tunnels, even if there is

street lighting in the area.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking sys-

tem may not function if the vehicle ahead

is narrow (for example a motorcycle).

The Intelligent Emergency Braking sys-

tem may not function if speed difference

between the two vehicles is too small.

.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking sys-

tem cannot detect all vehicles or pedes-

trians under all conditions.

— The poor contrast of a person to the

background, such as having clothing

color or pattern which is similar to

the background.

.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking sys-

tem does not detect the following ob-

jects:

— The pedestrian’s profile is partially

obscured or unidentifiable due to

the pedestrian transporting luggage,

wearing bulky or very loose-fitting

clothing or accessories.

— Small pedestrians (including small

children), animals and cyclists.
