REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT

(RCTA) (if equipped)

The radar sensors may be blocked by tempor-

ary 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.

WARNING:

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

tions for proper use of the RCTA system could

result in serious injury or death.

The RCTA system is not a replacement for

proper driving procedures and is not

designed to prevent contact with vehicles

or objects. When backing 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.

Check for and remove objects obstructing the

area around the radar sensors.

Do not attach stickers (including transparent

material), install accessories or apply additional

paint near the radar sensors.

Do not strike or damage the area around the

radar sensors.

The RCTA system will assist you when backing

out from a parking space. When the vehicle is in

reverse, the system is designed to detect other

vehicles approaching from the right or left of

the vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic, it

will alert you.

See a NISSAN dealer if the area around the

radar sensors is damaged due to a collision.

For the radio approval numbers and informa-

tion, see “Radio approval number and informa-

tion” (P.9-15).

RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION

The RCTA system can help alert the driver of an

approaching vehicle when the driver is backing

out of a parking space.

The radar sensors

can detect an approach-

ing vehicle from up to approximately 20 m (66

ft) away.

Steering-wheel-mounted controls (left

side)

When the shift position is in “R” (Reverse) and

the vehicle speed is less than approximately 8

km/h (5 MPH), the RCTA system is operational.

If the radar detects an approaching vehicle

from either side, the system chimes (once) and

the side indicator light flashes on the side the

vehicle is approaching from.

The radar sensors may not detect ap-

proaching vehicles in certain situations:

— Illustration : When a vehicle parked

next to you obstructs the beam of the

radar sensor.

— Illustration

: When the vehicle is

parked in an angled parking space.

— Illustration

: When the vehicle is

parked on inclined ground.

— Illustration : When an approaching

vehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-

ing lot aisle.

— Illustration : When the angle formed

by your vehicle and approaching

vehicle is small

The following conditions may reduce the

ability of the radar to detect other vehi-

cles:

— Severe weather

— Road spray

— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle

Do not attach stickers (including trans-

parent material), install accessories or

apply additional paint near the radar

sensors. These conditions may reduce

the ability of the radar to detect other

vehicles

Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vo-

lume, open vehicle window) will interfere

with the chime sound, and it may not be

heard.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

cannot detect every object such as:

— Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles,

animals or child-operated toy vehi-

WARNING:

Listed below are the system limitations for

the RCTA system. Failure to operate the

vehicle in accordance with these system

limitations could result in serious injury or

death.

— A vehicle that is passing at speeds

greater than approximately 30 km/h

(19 MPH)

— A vehicle that is passing at speeds

lower than approximately 8 km/h (5

MPH)

Always check surroundings and turn to

check what is behind you before backing

up. The radar sensors detect approaching

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

The speed limiter allows you to set the desired

vehicle speed limit. While the speed limiter is

activated, the driver can perform normal brak-

ing and acceleration, but the vehicle will not

exceed the set speed.

Do not attach stickers (including transparent

material), install accessories or apply additional

paint near the radar sensors.

Do not strike or damage the area around the

radar sensors. It is recommended that you visit

a NISSAN dealer if the area around the radar

sensors is damaged due to a collision.

For the radio approval numbers and informa-

tion, see “Radio approval number and informa-

tion” (P.9-15).

When the RCTA system malfunctions, it will turn

off automatically. The “System fault” warning

message will appear in the vehicle information

display.
