INTELLIGENT FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (I-FCW)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use of the I-FCW system could result in serious injury or death.
• The I-FCW system can help warn the driver before a collision occurs but will not avoid a collision. It is the driv- er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control 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. The I-FCW system uses a radar sensor O1
located on the front of the vehicle to mea- sure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane.
1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. AEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light
I-FCW SYSTEM OPERATION The I-FCW system operates at speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). If there is a potential risk of a forward colli- sion, the I-FCW system will warn the driver by blinking the vehicle ahead detection in- dicator, and sounding an audible alert.
TURNING THE I-FCW SYSTEM ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the I-FCW system ON or OFF. 1. Press the button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display. Use the button to select “Driver As- sistance.” Then press the ENTER button.
2. Select “Emergency Brake” and press the ENTER button.
3. Select “Front” and press the ENTER but- ton to turn the system on or off.
When the I-FCW system is turned off, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light illuminates.
NOTE:
• The I-FCW system will be automatically turned on when the engine is restarted.
• The I-FCW system is integrated into the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system. There is not a separate selection in the vehicle information display for the I-FCW system. When the AEB with Pe- destrian Detection system is turned off, the I-FCW system is also turned off.
I-FCW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

Starting and driving
WARNING Listed below are the system limitations for the I-FCW system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in seri- ous injury or death.
The I-FCW system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
•The radar sensor does not detect the following objects: –
Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway –
Oncoming vehicles –
Crossing vehicles
(Illustration A) The I-FCW system does not function when a vehicle ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle ahead in the following conditions: –
Snow or heavy rain –
When you are towing a trailer etc. –
Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor. –
Interference by other radar
sources. –
Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles. –
Driving in a tunnel

Starting and driving 5-99
(Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is being towed.
(Illustration C) When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close, the beam of the radar sensor is obstructed.
(Illustration D) When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
The system is designed to automati- cally check the sensor’s functionality, within certain limitations. The sys- tem may not detect some forms of obstruction of the sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers, etc. In these cases, the system may not be able to warn the driver properly. Be sure that you check, clean and clear the sensor area regularly.
Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Condition A When the radar sensor picks up interfer- ence from another radar source, making it impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the I-FCW system is automatically turned off. The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take When the above conditions no longer exist, the I-FCW system will resume automatically.
Condition B When there is inclement weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) blocking the front radar sensor, the I-FCW system will automatically be canceled, the chime will sound and the “Forward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual” warning message will appear in the vehicle information display.
Starting and driving 5-103
Action to take: When the conditions listed above are no longer present, the warning message will no longer be available in the vehicle infor- mation display. If the “Forward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual” warning message continues to be displayed, have the system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Condition C When the radar sensor of the front bumper is covered with dirt or is obstructed, the I-FCW system will automatically be can- celed. The chime will sound and the “For- ward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual” warning message will appear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take: If the warning message appears, stop the vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever in the P (Park) position, and turn the engine off. When the radar signal is temporarily interrupted, clean the sensor area of the front bumper and restart the engine. If the “Forward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual”
warning message continues to be dis- played, have the system checked. It is rec- ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Condition D When driving on roads with limited road structures or buildings (for example, long bridges, deserts, snowfields, driving next to long walls), the system may illuminate the system warning light and display the “For- ward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual” warning message.
Action to take: When the above driving conditions no lon- ger exist, turn the system back on.
NOTE: If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem stops working, the I-FCW system will also stop working.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION If the I-FCW system malfunctions, it will be turned off automatically, a chime will sound, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light (orange) will illuminate and the warning message [Malfunction] will appear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the en- gine off and restart the engine. If the warning light continues to illuminate, have the I-FCW system checked. It is recom- mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE The sensor O1 is located on the front of the vehicle. To keep the system operating properly, be sure to observe the following: • Always keep the sensor area of the front
bumper/emblem 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 malfunction.
• Do not alter, remove or paint the front bumper. Before customizing or restoring the front bumper, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
