RAB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for the RAB system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper
use of the RAB system could result in
serious injury or death.

•

When the vehicle approaches an ob-
stacle while the accelerator or brake
pedal is depressed, the function may
not operate or the start of operation
may be delayed. The RAB system
may not operate or may not perform
sufficiently due to vehicle conditions,
driving conditions, the traffic envi-
ronment, the weather, road surface
conditions, etc. Do not wait for the
system to operate. Operate the brake
pedal

by

yourself

as

soon

as

necessary.

•

If it is necessary to override RAB op-
eration, strongly press the accelera-
tor pedal.

•

Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you be-
fore and while backing up. The RAB
system detects stationary objects
behind the vehicle. The RAB system
does not detect the following ob-
jects:

–

Moving objects

–

Low objects

–

Narrow objects

–

Wedge-shaped objects

–

Objects close to the bumper (less

than approximately 1 ft [30 cm])

–

Objects that suddenly appear

–

Thin objects such as rope, wire,

chain, etc.

•

The RAB system may not operate for
the following obstacles:

–

Obstacles located high off the

ground

–

Obstacles in a position offset from

your vehicle

–

Obstacles, such as spongy materi-

als or snow, that have soft outer
surfaces and can easily absorb a
sound wave

•

The RAB system may not operate in
the following conditions:

–

There is rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc.,

attached to the sonar sensors.

–

A loud sound is heard in the area

around the vehicle.

–

The surface of the obstacle is di-

agonal to the rear of the vehicle.

•

The RAB system may unintentionally
operate in the following conditions:

–

There is overgrown grass in the

area around the vehicle.

–

There is a structure (e.g., a wall, toll

gate equipment, a narrow tunnel,
a parking lot gate) near the side of
the vehicle.

–

There are bumps, protrusions, or

manhole

covers

on

the

road

surface.

–

The

vehicle

drives

through

a

draped flag or a curtain.

–

There is an accumulation of snow

or ice behind the vehicle.

–

An ultrasonic wave source, such as

another vehicle’s sonar, is near
the vehicle.

5-82

Starting and driving

•

Once the automatic brake control
operates, it does not operate again if
the vehicle approaches the same
obstacle.

•

The automatic brake control can only
operate for a short period of time.
Therefore, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.

•

In the following situations, the RAB
system may not operate properly or
may not function sufficiently:

–

The

vehicle

is

driven

in

bad

weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).

–

The vehicle is driven on a steep

hill.

–

The vehicle’s posture is changed

(e.g., when driving over a bump).

–

The vehicle is driven on a slippery

road.

–

The vehicle is turned sharply by

turning the steering wheel fully.

–

Snow chains are used.

–

Wheels or tires other than NISSAN

recommended are used.

–

The brakes are cold at low ambi-

ent temperatures or immediately
after driving has started.

–

The braking force becomes poor

due to wet brakes after driving
through a puddle or washing the
vehicle.

•

Turn the RAB system off in the follow-
ing conditions to prevent the occur-
rence of an unexpected accident re-
sulting

from

sudden

system

operation:

–

The vehicle is towed.

–

The vehicle is carried on a flatbed

truck.

–

The vehicle is on the chassis

dynamometer.

–

The vehicle drives on an uneven

road surface.

–

The vehicle is towing an object (if

so equipped).

–

Suspension

parts

other

than

those

designated

as

Genuine

NISSAN parts are used. (If the ve-
hicle height or the vehicle body in-
clination is changed, the system
may

not

detect

an

obstacle

correctly.)

–

If the vehicle is using an accessory

like a bike rack, or cargo carrier
that blocks the sensors.

•

Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, and the RAB sys-
tem warning light will illuminate in the ve-
hicle information display.

Action to take

If the warning light illuminates, park the ve-
hicle in a safe location, turn the engine off,
and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the RAB sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

NOTE:

If the RAB system cannot be operated
temporarily, the RAB system warning
light blinks.

clean.

• If the parking sensors are dirty, wipe them

off with a soft cloth while being careful to
not damage them.

• Do not subject the area around the park-

ing sensors

O

1

to strong impact. Also, do

not remove or disassemble the parking
sensors. If the parking sensors and pe-
ripheral areas are deformed in an acci-
dent, etc., have the sensors checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

• Do not install any stickers (including

transparent stickers) or accessories on
the parking sensors

O

1

and their sur-

rounding areas. This may cause a mal-
function or improper operation.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the AEB
with

Pedestrian

Detection

system

could result in serious injury or death.

•

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for the
driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely.
It cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driving
techniques.

•

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not function in all driv-
ing,

traffic,

weather

and

road

conditions.

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of
a forward collision with the vehicle ahead in
the traveling lane or with a pedestrian
ahead in the traveling lane.

LSD3380

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
(AEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

5-84

Starting and driving

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
uses a radar sensor located on the front of
the vehicle

O

B

to measure the distance to

the vehicle ahead in the same lane. For
pedestrians, the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system uses a camera installed be-
hind the windshield

O

A

in addition to the

radar sensor.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATION

2. AEB with Pedestrian Detection emer-

gency warning indicator

LSD3354

LSD2773

Starting and driving

5-85

3. AEB with Pedestrian Detection system

warning light

The AEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). For the pe-
destrian detection function, the system
operates at speeds between 6 – 37 mph (10
– 60 km/h).

If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will firstly provide the warning to the driver
by flashing the vehicle ahead detection in-
dicator (yellow) in the vehicle information
display and providing an audible alert. If the
driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully after the warning, and the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system detects that
there is still the possibility of a forward col-
lision, the system will automatically in-
crease the braking force.

If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues
the second visual (flashing) (red and white)
and audible warning. If the driver releases
the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-
plies partial braking. If the risk of a collision
becomes imminent, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system applies harder
braking automatically.

While the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is operating, you may hear the
sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system is operating properly.

NOTE:

The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system.

Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well
as driving and roadway conditions, the sys-
tem may help the driver avoid a forward
collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences if a collision should be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system will function
later or will not function.

The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
• When the steering wheel is turned to

avoid a collision.

• When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• When there is no longer a vehicle or a

pedestrian detected ahead.

If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle
will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.

deceleration).

5-88

Starting and driving

–

When your vehicle or the vehicle
or

pedestrian

ahead

moves

quickly or significantly such that
the system cannot detect and re-
act in time (for example, pedes-
trian moving quickly toward the
vehicle at close range, vehicle cut-
ting in, changing lanes, making a
turn, steering abruptly, sudden
acceleration or deceleration).

–

When the vehicle or pedestrian is
offset from the vehicle’s forward
path.

–

If the speed difference between
the two vehicles is small.

–

The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable;
for example, due to transporting
luggage, pushing a stroller, wear-
ing bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories, or being
in a unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).

–

There is poor contrast of a person
to the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.

–
