distance to the vehicle ahead in the
traveling lane.

AEB SYSTEM OPERATION

The AEB system operates at speeds
above approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h).

If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB system will provide the first
warning to the driver by blinking the
vehicle ahead detection indicator in the
vehicle information display and providing
an audible warning. In addition, the AEB
system pushes the accelerator pedal up.
If the driver releases the accelerator
pedal, then the system applies partial
braking.

If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the AEB
system detects that there is still the
possibility of a forward collision, the
system will automatically increase the
braking force.

If a forward collision is imminent and the
driver does not take action, the AEB
system issues the second visual (flashing)
and audible warning and automatically
applies harder braking.

NOTE:

The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the AEB sys-
tem.

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
collision should one be unavoidable.

If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating 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

detected 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.

TURNING THE AEB SYSTEM ON/OFF

Perform the following steps to turn the
AEB system ON/OFF.

Push the SETTING button on the
center multi-function control panel

Touch [Driver Assistance].

Touch [Emergency Assist].

4. Touch [Forward emergency braking]

to turn the system ON/OFF.

AEB system warning light (orange)
illuminates.

NOTE:

The AEB system will be automatically
turned ON when the engine is restarted.
The I-FCW system is integrated into the
AEB system. There is not a separate
selection in the display for the I-FCW
system. When the AEB system is turned
off, the I-FCW system is also turned off.

AEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the AEB system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. The AEB system cannot detect all

vehicles under all conditions.

. The radar sensor does not detect

the following objects:

— Pedestrians, animals or obsta-

cles in the roadway

— Oncoming vehicles

— Crossing vehicles

. The radar sensor has some per-

formance limitations. If a station-
ary vehicle is in the vehicle’s path,
the AEB system will not function
when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over approximately 45
MPH (70 km/h).

. The radar sensor may not detect

a vehicle ahead in the following
conditions:

— Dirt, ice, snow or other materi-

al covering the radar sensor.

— Interference by other radar

sources.

— Snow or road spray from tra-

veling vehicles.

— If the vehicle ahead is narrow

(e.g. motorcycle)

— When driving on a steep

downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.

— When towing a trailer or other

vehicle.

. In some road or traffic conditions,

the AEB system may unexpect-
edly push the accelerator pedal
up or apply partial braking. When
acceleration is necessary, con-
tinue to depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.

. Braking distances increase on

slippery surfaces.

. The system is designed to auto-

matically check the sensor’s func-
t i o n a l i t y ,

w i t h i n

c e r t a i n

limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction
of the sensor area such as ice,
snow, stickers, for example. In

these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. Be sure that you check, clean
and clear the sensor area regu-
larly.

. Excessive noise will interfere with

the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard.

When driving on some roads, such as
winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or
roads which are under construction, the
radar sensor may detect vehicles in a
different lane, or may temporarily not
detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This
may cause the AEB system to work
inappropriately.

The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or traveling position in the
lane, etc.) or vehicle condition. If this
occurs, the system may warn you by
blinking the vehicle ahead detection
indicator and sounding the chime un-
expectedly. You will have to manually
control the proper distance away from

the vehicle traveling ahead.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE

Condition A

When the radar sensor picks up interfer-
ence from another radar source, making
it impossible to detect a vehicle ahead,
the AEB system is automatically turned
off. The AEB system warning light (or-
ange)

will illuminate.

Action to take:

When the above conditions no longer
exist, the AEB system will resume auto-
matically.

Condition B

Under the following conditions, making it
impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the
AEB system is automatically turned off.

The AEB system warning light (orange)
will illuminate and the “FRONT RADAR
OBSTRUCTION” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
. When the sensor area of the front

bumper is covered with dirt or is
obstructed

Action to take:

If the AEB system warning light (orange)

comes on, stop the vehicle in a safe

place, place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position and turn the engine off. Clean
the radar cover below the front bumper
with a soft cloth, and restart the engine. If
the AEB system warning light continues
to illuminate, have the AEB system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
. When driving on roads with limited

road structures or buildings (for ex-
ample, long bridges, deserts, snow
fields, driving next to long walls)

Action to take:

When the above conditions no longer
exist, the AEB system will resume auto-
matically.

Condition C

When the accelerator pedal actuator
detects that the internal motor tempera-
ture is high, the AEB system is automati-
cally turned off. The AEB system warning
light (orange)

will illuminate.

Action to take:

When the above conditions no longer
exist, the AEB system will resume auto-
matically.

Condition D

When VDC system is OFF, the AEB brake
will not operate. In this case only visible
and audible warning operates. The AEB
system warning light (orange) will illumi-
nate.

Action to take:

When the above conditions no longer
exist, the AEB system will resume auto-
matically.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

If the AEB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, the AEB system warning light
(orange)

will illuminate.

Action to take:

If the warning light (orange)

comes on,

stop the vehicle in a safe location and
place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position. Turn the engine off and restart
the engine. If the warning light continues
to illuminate, have the AEB system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

The sensor

is located below the front

bumper.

To keep the system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the sensor area of the

front bumper clean.

. Do not strike or damage the areas

around the sensor.

. Do not cover or attach stickers or

similar objects on the front bumper
near the sensor area. This could cause
failure or malfunction.

. Do not attach metallic objects near

the sensor area (brush guard, etc.).
This could cause failure or malfunc-

tion.

. Do not alter, remove or paint the front

bumper. It is recommended you con-
tact a NISSAN dealer before customiz-
ing or restoring the front bumper.

WARNING

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

. The I-FCW system helps warn the

driver before a collision but will
not avoid a collision. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely and be in con-
trol of the vehicle at all times.

The I-FCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a
second vehicle traveling in front of the
vehicle ahead in the same lane.

JVS0913X

The I-FCW system uses a radar sensor
located below the front bumper to mea-
sure the distance to a second vehicle
ahead in the same lane.
