Nissan Altima (2018 year). Manual — part 21

∙ HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO

CURB

䊊

Turn the wheels toward the side of the
road so the vehicle will move away
from the center of the road if it moves.

4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK

position.

WARNING

∙ If the engine is not running or is

turned off while driving, the power as-
sist for the steering will not work.
Steering will be harder to operate.

∙ When the power steering warning

light illuminates with the engine run-
ning, there will be no power assist for
the steering. You will still have control
of the vehicle, but the steering will be
much harder to operate. Have the
power steering system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

The power steering system is designed to
provide power assistance while driving to
operate the steering wheel with light force.

When the steering wheel is operated re-
peatedly or continuously while parking or
driving at a very low speed, the power as-
sist for the steering wheel will be reduced.
This is to prevent overheating of the power
steering system and protect it from getting
damaged. While the power assist is re-
duced, steering wheel operation will be-
come heavy. If the steering wheel opera-
tion is still performed, the power steering
may stop and the power steering warning
light will illuminate. In a safe location, stop

the engine and place the ignition switch in
the OFF position. The temperature of the
power steering system will go down after a
period of time and the power assist level
will return to normal after starting the en-
gine. The power steering warning light will
go off. Avoid repeating such steering wheel
operations that could cause the power
steering system to overheat.

You may hear a noise from the front of the
vehicle when the steering wheel is oper-
ated. This is a normal operational noise
and is not a malfunction.

If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may
indicate the power steering system is not
functioning properly and may need servic-
ing. Have the power steering system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, the
power assist for the steering will cease op-
eration but you will still have control of the
vehicle. At this time, greater steering efforts
are required to operate the steering wheel,
especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.

POWER STEERING

Starting and driving

5-81

The brake system has two separate hy-
draulic circuits. If one circuit malfunctions,
you will still have braking at two wheels.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS

Vacuum assisted brakes

The brake booster aids braking by using
engine vacuum. If the engine stops, you
can stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal. However, greater foot pres-
sure on the brake pedal will be required to
stop the vehicle and stopping distance will
be longer.

Using the brakes

Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal
while driving. This will overheat the brakes,
wear out the brake pads faster, and reduce
gas mileage.

To help reduce brake wear and to prevent
the brakes from overheating, reduce speed
and downshift to a lower gear before going
down a slope or long grade. Overheated
brakes may reduce braking performance
and could result in loss of vehicle control.

WARNING

∙ While driving on a slippery surface, be

careful when braking, accelerating or
downshifting. Abrupt braking or ac-
celerating could cause the wheels to
skid and result in an accident.

∙ If the engine is not running or is

turned off while driving, the power as-
sist for the brakes will not work. Brak-
ing will be harder.

Wet brakes

When the vehicle is washed or driven
through water, the brakes may get wet. As
a result, your braking distance will be lon-
ger and the vehicle may pull to one side
during braking.

To dry the 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.

Parking brake break-in

Break in the parking brake shoes whenever
the stopping effect of the parking brake is
weakened or whenever the parking brake

shoes and/or drums/rotors are replaced,
in order to assure the best braking perfor-
mance.

This procedure is described in the vehicle
service manual. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

WARNING

∙ The ABS is a sophisticated device, but

it cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help maintain ve-
hicle control during braking on slip-
pery surfaces. Remember that stop-
ping distances on slippery surfaces
will be longer than on normal sur-
faces even with ABS. Stopping dis-
tances may also be longer on rough,
gravel or snow covered roads, or if you
are using tire chains. Always maintain
a safe distance from the vehicle in
front of you. Ultimately, the driver is
responsible for safety.

∙ Tire type and condition may also af-

fect braking effectiveness.

BRAKE SYSTEM

5-82

Starting and driving

– When replacing tires, install the

specified size of tires on all four
wheels.

– When installing a spare tire, make

sure that it is the proper size and
type as specified on the Tire and
Loading Information label. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Tire
and Loading Information label” in
the “Technical and consumer infor-
mation” section of this manual.

– For additional information, refer to

“Wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-
yourself ” section of this manual.

The ABS controls the brakes so the wheels
do not lock during hard braking or when
braking on slippery surfaces. The system
detects the rotation speed at each wheel
and varies the brake fluid pressure to pre-
vent each wheel from locking and sliding.
By preventing each wheel from locking, the
system helps the driver maintain steering
control and helps to minimize swerving
and spinning on slippery surfaces.

Using the system

Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.
Depress the brake pedal with firm steady
pressure, but do not pump the brakes. The

Anti-lock Braking System will operate to
prevent the wheels from locking up. Steer
the vehicle to avoid obstacles.

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so
may

result

increased

stopping

distances.

Self-test feature

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) in-
cludes electronic sensors, electric pumps,
hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature
that tests the system 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 mal-
function. If the computer senses a mal-
function, it switches the ABS off and illumi-
nates the ABS warning light on the
instrument panel. The brake system then
operates normally but without anti-lock
assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during
the self-test or while driving, have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

Normal operation

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) oper-
ates at speeds above 3 - 6 mph (5 -
10 km/h). The speed varies according to
road conditions.

When the ABS senses that one or more
wheels are close to locking up, the actuator
rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pres-
sure. This action is similar to pumping the
brakes very quickly. You may feel a pulsa-
tion in the brake pedal and hear a noise
from under the hood or feel a vibration
from the actuator when it is operating. This
is normal and indicates that the ABS is op-
erating properly. However, the pulsation
may indicate that road conditions are haz-
ardous and extra care is required while
driving.

BRAKE ASSIST

When the force applied to the brake pedal
exceeds a certain level, the brake assist is
activated generating greater braking force
than a conventional brake booster even
with light pedal force.

Starting and driving

5-83

WARNING

The brake assist is only an aid to assist
braking operation and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at
all times.

The VDC system uses various sensors to
monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion.
Under certain driving conditions, the VDC
system helps to perform the following
functions:

∙ Controls brake pressure to reduce

wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel
so power is transferred to a non-
slipping drive wheel on the same axle.

∙ Controls brake pressure and engine

output to reduce drive wheel slip based
on vehicle speed (traction control func-
tion).

∙ Controls brake pressure at individual

wheels and engine output to help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle in
the following conditions:

– Understeer (vehicle tends to not fol-

low the steered path despite in-
creased steering input)

– Oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due

to certain road or driving conditions)

The VDC system can help the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle, but it can-
not prevent loss of vehicle control in all driv-
ing situations.

When the VDC system operates, the
indicator in the instrument panel flashes to
note the following:

∙ The road may be slippery or the system

may determine some action is required
to help keep the vehicle on the steered
path.

∙ You may feel a pulsation in the brake

pedal and hear a noise or vibration from
under the hood. This is normal and indi-
cates that the VDC system is working
properly.

∙ Adjust your speed and driving to the

road conditions.

For additional information, refer to “Slip in-
dicator light” and “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) OFF indicator light” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.

If a malfunction occurs in the system,
the

indicator light comes on in the

instrument panel. The VDC system auto-
matically turns off when the indicator light
is on.
The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the
VDC system. The

indicator illumi-

nates to indicate the VDC system is off.

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
SYSTEM

5-84

Starting and driving

When the VDC OFF switch is used to turn off
the system, the VDC system still operates
to prevent one drive wheel from slipping by
transferring power to a non-slipping drive
wheel. The

indicator flashes if this oc-

curs. All other VDC functions are off and
the

indicator will not flash.

The VDC system is automatically reset to
ON when the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position then back to the ON position.

The computer has a built-in diagnostic fea-
ture that tests the system each time you
start the engine and move the vehicle for-
ward or in reverse at a slow speed. When
the self-test occurs, you may hear a clunk
noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and is not an indica-
tion of a malfunction.

WARNING

∙ The VDC system is designed to help

the driver maintain stability but does
not prevent accidents due to abrupt
steering operation at high speeds or
by careless or dangerous driving
techniques. Reduce vehicle speed and
be especially careful when driving and
cornering on slippery surfaces and al-
ways drive carefully.

∙ Do not modify the vehicle’s suspen-

sion. If suspension parts such as
shock absorbers, struts, springs, sta-
bilizer bars, bushings and wheels are
not NISSAN recommended for your
vehicle or are extremely deteriorated,
the VDC system may not operate
properly. This could adversely affect
vehicle handling performance, and
the

indicator

may

flash

the

indicator

light

may

illuminate.

∙ If brake related parts such as brake

pads, rotors and calipers are not
NISSAN recommended or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, the VDC system
may not operate properly and both

the

and

indicator lights

may illuminate.

∙ If engine control related parts are not

NISSAN recommended or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, both the
and the

indicator lights may

illuminate.

∙ When driving on extremely inclined

surfaces such as higher banked cor-
ners, the VDC system may not operate
properly and the

indicator may

flash or the

indicator light may

illuminate. Do not drive on these types
of roads.

∙ When driving on an unstable surface

such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or
ramp, the

indicator may flash or

the

indicator light may illumi-

nate. This is not a malfunction. Re-
start the engine after driving onto a
stable surface.

∙ If wheels or tires other than the

NISSAN recommended ones are used,
the VDC system may not operate
properly and the

indicator may

flash or the

indicator light may

illuminate.

∙ The VDC system is not a substitute for

winter tires or tire chains on a snow
covered road.

Starting and driving

WARNING

∙ Never rely solely on the hill start assist

system to prevent the vehicle from
moving backward on a hill. Always
drive carefully and attentively. De-
press the brake pedal when the ve-
hicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be es-
pecially careful when stopped on a hill
on frozen or muddy roads. Failure to
prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards may result in a loss of control of
the vehicle and possible serious injury
or death.

∙ The hill start assist system is not de-

signed to hold the vehicle at a stand-
still on a hill. Depress 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 may not

prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards on a hill under all load or road
conditions. Always be prepared to de-
press the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards. Fail-
ure to do so may result in a collision or
serious personal injury.

When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, the hill
start assist system automatically keeps
the brakes applied to help prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling backward in the time it
takes the driver to release the brake pedal
and apply the accelerator.

The hill start assist system will operate au-
tomatically under the following conditions:

∙ The transmission is shifted to a forward

or reverse gear.

∙ The vehicle is stopped completely on a

hill by applying the brake. The maxi-
mum holding time is 2 seconds. After
2 seconds the vehicle will begin to roll
back and the hill start assist system will
stop operating completely.

The hill start assist system will not operate
when the shift lever is placed in the N (Neu-
tral) or P (Park) position or on a flat and level
road.

The sonar (parking sensor) system sounds
a tone to inform the driver of obstacles
near the bumper.

When the “DISPLAY” key is on, the sonar
view will automatically appear in the meter.

WARNING

∙ The sonar (parking sensor) system is

a convenience but it is not a substitute
for proper parking.

brakes or a pneumatic drill may affect
the function of the system; this may
include reduced performance or a
false activation.

∙ This function is designed as an aid to

the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.

∙ The system is not designed to prevent

contact with small or moving objects.
Always move slowly. The system will
not detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.

∙ The system may not detect the fol-

lowing objects: fluffy objects such as
snow, cloth, cotton, glass, wool, etc.;
thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc.; or wedge-shaped objects.

If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.

CAUTION

∙ Excessive noise (such as audio system

volume or an open vehicle window)
will interfere with the tone and it may
not be heard.

∙ Keep the sonar sensors (located on

the bumper fascia) free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Do
not clean the sensors with sharp ob-
jects. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the sonar function will be
diminished.

SYSTEM OPERATION

The system informs with a visual and au-
dible alert of front obstacles when the shift
lever is in the D (Drive) position and both
front and rear obstacles when the shift le-
ver is in the R (Reverse) position.

the area around the sonar sensors.

Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the sonar sensors.

Do not strike or damage the area around
the sonar sensors. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer if the area around
the sonar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.

FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK

To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
de-icer through the key hole. If the lock
becomes frozen, heat the key before in-
serting it into the key hole or use the re-
mote keyless entry function on the Intelli-
gent Key.

ANTIFREEZE

In the winter when it is anticipated that the
temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C),
check the antifreeze to assure proper win-
ter protection. For additional information,
refer to “Engine cooling system” in the “Do-
it-yourself ” section of this manual.

BATTERY

If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the
battery fluid may freeze and damage the
battery. To maintain maximum efficiency,
the battery should be checked regularly.
For additional information, refer to “Battery”
in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.

Starting and driving

DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER

If the vehicle is to be left outside without
anti-freeze, drain the cooling system, in-
cluding the engine block. Refill before oper-
ating the vehicle. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Changing engine coolant” in
the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this manual.

TIRE EQUIPMENT

1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed to

provide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance
of these tires will be substantially re-
duced in snowy and icy conditions. If
you operate your vehicle on snowy or
icy roads, NISSAN recommends the use
of MUD & SNOW or ALL SEASON TIRES
on all four wheels. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for the tire
type, size, speed rating and availability
information.

2. For additional traction on icy roads,

studded tires may be used. However,
some U.S. states and Canadian prov-
inces prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before install-
ing studded tires.

Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.

3. Tire chains may be used. For additional

information, refer to “Tire chains” in the
“Do-it-yourself ” section of this manual.

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT

It is recommended that the following items
be carried in the vehicle during winter:

∙ A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to re-

move ice and snow from the windows
and wiper blades.

∙ A sturdy, flat board to be placed under

the jack to give it firm support.

∙ A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snow-

drifts.

∙ Extra

washer

fluid

refill

the

windshield-washer fluid reservoir.

DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE

WARNING

∙ Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain),

very cold snow or ice can be slick and
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will
have much less traction or “grip” un-
der these conditions. Try to avoid driv-
ing on wet ice until the road is salted
or sanded.

∙ Whatever the condition, drive with

caution. Accelerate and slow down
with care. If accelerating or down-
shifting too fast, the drive wheels will
lose even more traction.

∙ Allow more stopping distance under

these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.

∙ Allow greater following distances on

slippery roads.

Starting and driving

5-93

∙ Watch for slippery spots (glare ice).

These may appear on an otherwise
clear road in shaded areas. If a patch
of ice is seen ahead, brake before
reaching it. Try not to brake while on
the ice, and avoid any sudden steering
maneuvers.

∙ Do not use the cruise control on slip-

pery roads.

∙ Snow can trap dangerous exhaust

gases under your vehicle. Keep snow
clear of the exhaust pipe and from
around your vehicle.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so
equipped)

Engine block heaters are used to assist
with cold temperature starting.

The engine block heater should be used
when the outside temperature is 20°F (-7°C)
or lower.

WARNING

∙ Do not use your engine block heater

with an ungrounded electrical system
or a 2-pronged adapter. You can be
seriously

injured

electrical

shock if you use an ungrounded
connection.

∙ Disconnect and properly store the en-

gine block heater cord before starting
the engine. Damage to the cord could
result in an electrical shock and can
cause serious injury.

∙ Use a heavy-duty 3-wire, 3-pronged

extension cord rated for at least 10 A.
Plug the extension cord into a Ground
Fault

Interrupt

(GFI)

protected,

grounded 110-VAC outlet. Failure to
use the proper extension cord or a
grounded outlet can result in a fire or
electrical shock and cause serious
personal injury.

To use the engine block heater:

1. Turn the engine off.

2. Open the hood and unwrap the engine

block heater cord.

3. Plug the engine block heater cord into

a grounded 3-wire, 3-pronged exten-
sion cord.

4. Plug the extension cord into a Ground

Fault

Interrupt

(GFI)

protected,

grounded 110-volt AC (VAC) outlet.

5. The engine block heater must be

plugged in for at least 2–4 hours, de-
pending on outside temperatures, to
properly warm the engine coolant. Use
an appropriate timer to turn the engine
block heater on.

6. Before starting the engine, unplug and

properly store the cord to keep it away
from moving parts.
