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
1. Press the button until “Settings” dis- plays in the vehicle information display. Use the scroll dial to select “Driver Assis- tance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Emergency Assist” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Front” and press the OK button 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 is turned off, the I-FCW system is also turned off.
I-FCW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

Illustration B
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 condi- tions:
– Snow or heavy rain
– 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
– Towing a trailer
• (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.

When driving on some roads, such as wind- ing, 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 ve- hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the I-FCW system to work inappropriately.
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 sys- tem may warn you by blinking the ve- hicle ahead detection indicator and sounding the chime unexpectedly. You will have to manually control the proper distance away from the vehicle traveling ahead.
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 OFF warning light (orange) will flash.
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 and the “Forward Driving Aids temporarily disabled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual” warning message will appear in the vehicle information display.
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, press the park but- ton to engage 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 tempo- rarily disabled Front Sensor Blocked See Owner’s Manual” warning message contin- ues to be displayed, have the system checked. It is recommended 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.
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 illumi- nate and the warning message [Malfunc- tion] 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.

WARNING Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use of the I-DA system could result in serious injury or death.
• The I–DA system is only a warning to
inform the driver of a potential lack of driver attention or drowsiness. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control.
• The I–DA system does not detect and provide an alert of the driver’s lack of attention or fatigue in every situation.
• It is the driver’s responsibility to: – stay alert, – drive safely, – keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, – be in control of the vehicle at all
times, – avoid driving when tired, – avoid distractions (texting, etc.).
The I–DA system helps alert the driver if the system detects a lack of attention or driv- ing fatigue. The system monitors driving style and steering behavior over a period of time, and it detects changes from the normal pattern. If the system detects that driver attention is decreasing over a period of time, the system uses audible and visual warnings to suggest that the driver take a break.
