(1.6 km/h).

To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle
returns to the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death.

∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assist

the driver and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.

∙ Always observe posted speed limits

and do not set the speed over them.

∙ Always drive carefully and attentively

when using the ICC system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system.
To avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent ac-
cidents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ICC system except in ap-
propriate road and traffic conditions.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)
(if so equipped)

Starting and driving

5-43

The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and di-
rection.

The ICC system uses a radar sensor

䊊

located on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead.

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

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
144 km/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. If a vehicle
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a
vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may be-
come closer because the ICC system can-
not decelerate the vehicle quickly enough.
If this occurs, the ICC system will sound a
warning chime and blink the system dis-
play to notify the driver to take necessary
action.

For additional information, refer to “Ap-
proach warning” in this section.

The following items are controlled in the
ICC system:

∙ When there are no vehicles traveling

ahead, the ICC system 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 ICC system adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the ve-
hicle 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
ICC system accelerates and maintains
vehicle 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 traf-
fic congestion.

Starting and driving

5-45

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 main-
tain the speed up to the set speed. Pay
attention to the driving operation to main-
tain control of the vehicle as it accelerates
to the set speed.

Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake
pedal when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when us-
ing the ICC system.

THE ICC SWITCH

The system is operated by the CRUISE
ON/OFF switch and four control switches,
all mounted on the steering wheel.

Vehicle detected ahead

When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.

NOTE:

∙ The stoplights of the vehicle come on

when braking is performed by the ICC
system.

∙ When the brake operates, a noise may

be heard. This is not a malfunction.

When a vehicle ahead is detected, the ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator comes on.
The ICC system will also display the set
speed and selected distance.

Vehicle ahead not detected

When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.

When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.

If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.

When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the sys-
tem will be canceled.

When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicator

䊊

will flash when the ve-

hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle detect indicator will turn off when the
area ahead of the vehicle is open. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to
the previously set speed.

Even though your vehicle speed is set in the
ICC system, you can depress the accelera-
tor pedal when it is necessary to accelerate
your vehicle rapidly.

How to change the set distance
to the vehicle ahead

The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traf-
fic conditions.

Each time the distance

switch

䊊

pushed, the set distance will change to
long, middle, short and back to long again,
in that sequence.

Distance

Approximate distance at
60 mph (100 km/h) [ft (m)]

Long

200 (60)

Middle

150 (45)

Short

90 (30)

∙ The distance to the vehicle ahead will

change according to the vehicle speed.
The higher the vehicle speed, the longer
the distance.

∙ If the engine is stopped, the set distance

becomes “long.” (Each time the engine
is started, the initial setting becomes
“long.”)

Approach warning

If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:

∙ The chime sounds.

∙ The vehicle ahead detection indicator

blinks.

The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:

∙ When the vehicles are traveling at the

same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing.

∙ When the vehicle ahead is traveling

faster and the distance between ve-
hicles is increasing.

∙ When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.

The warning chime will not sound when:

∙ The vehicle approaches other vehicles

that are parked or moving slowly.

∙ The accelerator pedal is depressed,

overriding the system.

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when
the ICC sensor detects objects on the
side of the vehicle or on the side of the
road. This may cause the ICC system to
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The
ICC sensor may detect these objects
when the vehicle is driven on winding
roads, narrow roads, hilly roads, or when
entering or exiting a curve. In these
cases you will have to manually control
the proper distance ahead of your ve-
hicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or ve-
hicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is
being driven with some damage).

ICC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.

∙ The ICC system is primarily intended

for use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.

∙ The ICC system will not adapt auto-

matically to road conditions. This sys-
tem should be used in evenly flowing
traffic. Do not use the system on roads
with sharp curves, or on icy roads, in
heavy rain or in fog.

∙ As there is a performance limit to the

distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive
or absentminded driving, or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate the ve-
hicle speed by depressing the brake

SSD0252

5-52

Starting and driving

pedal, depending on the distance to
the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to main-
tain a safe distance between vehicles.

∙ 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
that the vehicle has come to a stand-
still and sound a warning chime. To
prevent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake pedal.

∙ Always pay attention to the operation

of the vehicle and be ready to manu-
ally control the proper following dis-
tance. The ICC system may not be able
to maintain the selected distance be-
tween vehicles (following distance) or
selected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.

∙ The system may not detect the ve-

hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system under
the following conditions:

– On roads where the traffic is heavy

or there are sharp curves

– On slippery road surfaces such as

on ice or snow, etc.

– During bad weather (rain, fog,

snow, etc.)

– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to

the bumper around the distance
sensor

– On steep downhill roads (the ve-

hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)

– On repeated uphill and downhill

roads

– When traffic conditions make it dif-

ficult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of fre-
quent acceleration or deceleration

– Interference

other

radar

sources.

∙ Do not use the ICC system if you are

towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.

∙ In some road or traffic conditions, a

vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Always
stay alert and avoid using the ICC sys-
tem where not recommended in this
warning section.

The radar sensor will not detect the follow-
ing objects:

∙ Stationary and slow moving vehicles

∙ Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

∙ Oncoming vehicles in the same lane

∙ Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel

lane

The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot properly detect a ve-
hicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly:

∙ When snow or road spray from traveling

vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.

∙ When excessively heavy baggage is

loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of
your vehicle.

The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitations of the system.

Starting and driving

5-53

The detection zone of the ICC sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance detection mode to maintain the se-
lected distance from the vehicle ahead.

A vehicle ahead may move outside of the
detection zone due to its position within
the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may
not be detected in the same lane ahead if
they are traveling offset from the centerline
of the lane. A vehicle that is entering the
lane ahead may not be detected until the
vehicle has completely moved into the
lane.

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn
you by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may
have to manually control the proper dis-
tance away from vehicle traveling ahead.

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the ICC sen-
sor may detect vehicles in a different lane,
or may temporarily not detect a vehicle
traveling ahead. This may cause the ICC
system to decelerate or accelerate the ve-
hicle.

The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn
you by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You
will have to manually control the proper
distance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.

next to long walls), the system may illumi-
nate the system warning light (orange) and
display the “Unavailable: Front Radar Ob-
struction” message.

Action to take

If the warning light (orange) comes on, park
the vehicle in a safe location and turn the
engine off. Check to see if the radar sensor
window is blocked. If the radar sensor win-
dow is blocked, remove the blocking mate-
rial. Restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the ICC sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
