for the I-BSI

system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.

The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary 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.

Check for and remove objects obstruct-
ing the area around the radar sensors.

Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent 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 you visit a NISSAN
dealer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.

The lane camera unit

for I-BSI system is

located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-BSI and prevent
a system malfunction, be sure to observe
the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.

. Do not attach a sticker (including

transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.

. 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.

. 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. It is

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-BI
system could result in serious injury
or death.

. The I-BI system is not a replace-

ment for proper driving proce-
dure, is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects
and does not provide full brake
power. When backing out of park-
ing spaces, always use the inside
and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will
move. Never rely solely on the I-
BI system.

. There is a limitation to the detec-

tion capability of the radar or the
sonar. Using the I-BI system un-
der some road, ground, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Al-
ways rely on your own operation
to avoid accidents.

The I-BI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind
the vehicle when the driver is backing out
of a parking space.

JVS0912X

The I-BI system uses radar sensors
installed on both sides near the rear
bumper to detect an approaching vehicle
and sonar sensors

to detect objects in

the rear.

I-BI SYSTEM OPERATION

When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the I-BI
system operates.

If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings.
If the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake
for a moment when the vehicle is moving
backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure. If
the driver’s foot is on the accelerator

. In the case of several vehicles ap-

proaching in a row (Illustration 1) or in
the opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to the I-BI
system after the first vehicle passes
the sensors.

. The sonar system chime indicating

there is an object behind the vehicle
has a higher priority than the I-BI
chime (single beep) indicating an ap-
proaching vehicle. If the sonar system
detects an object behind the vehicle
and the I-BI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time,
the following indications are provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side

of the approaching vehicle flashes,
and

— A yellow rectangular frame appears

in the center display.

JVS0307X

If an approaching vehicle or close object
behind the vehicle is detected when your
vehicle is backing up, a red frame

will

appear in the center display and the
system will chime three times. Then, the
brakes will be applied momentarily. After
the automatic brake application, the dri-
ver must depress the brake pedal to
maintain brake pressure.

If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward before the braking is ap-
plied. However, if you continue to accel-
erate, the system will not engage the
brakes.

The I-BI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.

I-BI SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-BI system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance

with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. Always check your surroundings

and turn to check what is behind
you before backing up.

. The radar sensors detect ap-

proaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect
every object such as:

— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals

or child operated toy vehicles

— A vehicle that passing at

speeds greater than approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h)

. The radar sensors may not detect

approaching vehicles in certain
situations:

— Illustration a. When a vehicle

parked next to you obstructs
the beam of the radar sensor.

— Illustration b. When the vehicle

is parked in an angled parking
space.

— Illustration c. When the vehicle

is parked on inclined ground.

— Illustration d. When an ap-

proaching vehicle turns into
your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.

— Illustration e. When the angle

formed by your vehicle and
approaching vehicle is small.

. The following conditions may re-

duce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles:

— Severe weather

— Road spray

— Ice/frost/dirt build up on the

vehicle

. Do not attach stickers (including

transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles.

. The sonar sensors detect station-

ary objects behind the vehicle.
The sonar sensor may not detect:

— Small or moving objects

— Wedge-shaped objects

— Object close to the bumper

(less than approximately 1 ft
(30 cm))

— Thin objects such as rope, wire

and chain, etc.

. The brake engagement by the I-

BI system is not as effective on a
slope as it is on flat ground. When
on a steep slope the system may
not function properly.

. Do not use the I-BI system under

the following conditions because
the system may not function

properly.

— When driving with a tire that is

not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).

— When the vehicle is equipped

with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.

— When towing a trailer or other

vehicle.

. Excessive noise (for example,

audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury
or death.

. ICC is not a collision avoidance or

warning device. For highway use
only and it is not intended for
congested areas or city driving.
Failure to apply the brakes could
result in an accident.

. Always observe posted speed

limits and do not set the speed
over them.

. Always drive carefully and atten-

tively when using either cruise
control mode. Read and under-
stand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the cruise
control. To avoid serious injury
or death, do not rely on the
system to prevent accidents or
to control the vehicle’s speed in
emergency situations. Do not use
cruise control except in appropri-
ate road and traffic conditions.

. In the conventional (fixed speed)

cruise control mode, a warning
chime will not sound to warn you

if you are too close to the vehicle
ahead. Pay special attention to
the distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle ahead of you
or a collision could occur.

The ICC system maintains a selected
distance from the vehicle in front of you
within the speed range of 0 to 90 MPH (0
to 144 km/h) up to the set speed. The set
speed can be selected by the driver
between 20 to 90 MPH (32 to 144 km/h).

The vehicle travels at a set speed when
the road ahead is clear.

The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes.
. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control

mode:
For maintaining a selected distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you up to the preset speed.

. Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-

trol mode:
For cruising at a preset speed.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE

In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically
maintains a selected distance from the
vehicle traveling in front of you according
to that vehicle’s speed (up to the set
speed), or at the set speed when the road
ahead is clear.

JVS0913X

The system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.

If the radar sensor

detects a slower

moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed so that your
vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance.

The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to
approximately 40% of vehicle braking
power) if necessary.

The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

Starting and driving

5-69

5-70

Starting and driving

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode operation

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is designed to maintain a selected
distance and reduce the speed to match
the slower vehicle ahead; the system will
decelerate the vehicle as necessary and if
the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill. How-
ever, the ICC system can only apply up to
approximately 40% of the vehicle’s total
braking power. This system should only
be used when traffic conditions allow
vehicle speeds to remain fairly constant
or when vehicle speeds change gradually.
If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane
ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead
rapidly decelerates, the distance between
vehicles may become closer because the
ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC
system will sound a warning chime and
blink the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.

The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed is below
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead. The system
will also disengage when the vehicle goes
above the maximum set speed.

See “Approach warning” (P.5-78).

The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
. When there are no vehicles traveling

ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode maintains the speed set
by the driver. The set speed range is
between approximately 20 and 90
MPH (32 and 144 km/h).

. When there is a vehicle traveling

ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by
driver, from the vehicle ahead. The
adjusting speed range is up to the set
speed. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of the
system. The system will cancel once it
judges a standstill with a warning
chime.

. When the vehicle traveling ahead has

moved out from its lane of travel, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode accelerates and maintains ve-
hicle speed up to the set speed.

The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation
to maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or
traffic congestion.

SSD0254

When driving on the freeway at a set
speed and approaching a slower traveling
vehicle ahead, the ICC system will adjust
the speed to maintain the distance,
selected by the driver, from the vehicle
ahead. If the vehicle ahead changes lanes
or exits the freeway, the ICC system will
accelerate and maintain the speed up to
the set speed. Pay attention to the driving
operation to maintain control of the
vehicle as it accelerates to the set speed.

The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
occurs, you will have to manually control
the vehicle speed.

Normally when controlling the distance to
