Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light 2. BSW/RCTA Indicator 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. When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and the vehicle speed is less than approxi- mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the RCTA system is operational. If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from either side, the system chimes (once) and the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes on the side the vehicle is approach- ing from.

LSD2417 5-34 Starting and driving LSD2216 LSD2362 The RCTA system uses radar sensors ᭺1 installed on both sides near the rear bum- per to detect an approaching vehicle. The radar sensors ᭺1 can detect an ap- proaching vehicle from up to approxi- mately 66 ft. (20 m) away.

Starting and driving 5-35 HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE RCTA SYSTEM Perform the following steps to enable or disable the RCTA system. 1. Press the button until “Settings” displays in the vehicle information dis- play and then press the OK button. Use the button to select “Driver Assis- tance.” Then press the OK button. 2. Select “Blind Spot” and press the OK button. When the RCTA system is turned on, the BSW/RCTA indicator (white) in the vehicle information display illuminates.

NOTE: ∙ The RCTA system is integrated into the BSW system. There is not a sepa- rate selection in the vehicle informa- tion display for the RCTA system. When the BSW is disabled, the RCTA system is also disabled. ∙ When enabling/disabling the system, the system setting will be retained even if the engine is restarted.

LSD2412 5-36 Starting and driving 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 seri- ous injury or death. ∙ Always check surroundings and turn to check what is behind you before backing up. The radar sensors detect approaching (moving) vehicles. The radar sensors cannot detect every object such as: – Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child-operated toy vehicles – A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) – A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph LSD2173 (8 km/h) RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS ∙ The radar sensors may not detect ap- proaching vehicles in certain situations: – Illustration a: When a vehicle parked next to you obstructs the beam of the radar sensor.

Starting and driving 5-37 – 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 approach- ing vehicle turns into your vehicle’s parking lot aisle. – Illustration e: When the angle formed by your vehicle and ap- proaching vehicle is small. ∙ The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles: LSD2043 LSD2044 – Severe weather Illustration 1 Illustration 2 – Road spray NOTE: – Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the In the case of several vehicles approach- vehicle ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the oppo- ∙ Do not attach stickers (including site direction (Illustration 2), a chime may transparent material), install accesso- not be sounded by the RCTA system af- ries or apply additional paint near the ter the first vehicle passes the sensors. radar sensors.

The detection range of the sensor is ap- proximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.

Starting and driving 5-43 ICC SYSTEM OPERATION The ICC system maintains a selected dis- tance from the vehicle in front of you within the speed range 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144km/h) up to the set speed. The set speed can be selected by the driver be- tween 20 to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h), based on road conditions. The vehicle travels at the set speed when the road ahead is clear. The ICC system is designed to maintain a selected distance from the vehicle in front of you and can reduce the speed to match a slower vehicle ahead. The system will de- celerate the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC system can only apply up to 40% of the vehicle’s total braking power. This system should only be used when traf- fic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re- main fairly constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually.

5-58 Starting and driving 1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator 2. AEB warning indicator 3. AEB system warning light AEB SYSTEM OPERATION The AEB system will function when your vehicle is driven at speeds above approxi- mately 3 mph (5 km/h). If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the AEB system will provide an initial warn- ing to the driver by both a visual and au- dible alert. If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully after the warning, and the AEB system detects that there is still the possi- bility of a forward collision, the system will automatically increase the braking force. If the driver does not take action, the AEB system issues the second visual warning (red) and audible warning and also applies partial braking. If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the AEB system applies harder braking au- tomatically.

LSD2773 Starting and driving 5-59 NOTE: The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking is performed by the AEB system. Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway conditions, the system may help the driver avoid a forward collision or may help mitigate the consequences of a colli- sion, should one be unavoidable. If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accel- erating or braking, the AEB system will function later or will not function. The automatic braking will cease under the following conditions: ∙ When the steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to avoid a collision. ∙ When the accelerator pedal is de- pressed. ∙ When there is no longer a vehicle de- tected ahead. If the AEB system has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.

NOTE: Maintenance items with “૽” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance under severe driving conditions”. (1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid if necessary. And if the inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer to perform this service. (2) For additional information on tire rotation, refer to “General maintenance” in this section.

Technical and consumer information 10-9 WHEN TRAVELING OR REGISTERING VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION IN ANOTHER COUNTRY

When planning to drive your NISSAN ve- hicle in another country, you should first find out if the fuel available is suitable for your vehicle's engine. Using fuel with an octane rating that is too low may cause engine damage. All gaso- line vehicles must be operated with un- leaded gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle to areas where appropriate fuel is not available. When transferring the registration of your vehicle to another country, state, province or district, it may be necessary to modify the vehicle to meet local laws WTI0171 LTI0070 and regulations. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER The laws and regulations for motor vehicle (VIN) PLATE (chassis number) emission control and safety standards vary according to the country, state, prov- The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) The vehicle identification number is lo- ince or district; therefore, vehicle specifica- plate is attached as shown.
