Lane departure warning (LDW)
WARNING Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use of the LDW system could result in serious injury or death.
• This system is only a warning device
to inform the driver of a potential un- intended lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
The LDW system will operate when the ve- hicle is driven at speeds of approximately 37 mph (60 km/h) and above, and only when the lane markings are clearly visible on the road. The LDW system monitors the lane mark- ers on the traveling lane using the camera unit OA located above the inside mirror. The LDW system warns the driver that the vehicle is beginning to leave the driving lane with an indicator and a steering wheel vibration. For additional information, see “LDW system operation” (P. 5-37).
LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
For vehicles with the 7 inch (18 cm) display
Starting and driving 5-37
The LDW system provides a lane departure warning function when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 37 mph (60 km/h) and above and the lane markings are clear. When the vehicle approaches ei- ther the left or the right side of the traveling lane, the steering wheel will vibrate and the LDW indicator on the instrument panel will blink to alert the driver. The warning function will stop when the vehicle returns inside of the lane markers.
HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE LDW SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or disable the LDW system. 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 “Lane Assist” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Warning” and press the OK but- ton to turn the system on or off.
LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the LDW system. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the LDW system could re- sult in serious injury or death.
• The system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37 mph (60 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers.
• Do not use the LDW system under the following conditions as it may not function properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or un- even roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
For vehicles with the 12.3 inch (31.2 cm) display
– When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear, low tire pressure, installation of spare tire, tire chains, nonstan- dard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus- pension parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
• The system may not function prop- erly under the following conditions:
– On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane mark- ers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane mark- ers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with wa- ter, dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shad- ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs. (The LDW system could detect these items as lane markers.)
– On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc- tion does not align with the lane marker.
– When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob- structs the lane camera unit de- tection range.
– When rain, snow, dirt or an object adheres to the windshield in front of the lane camera unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For example, the light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under high temperature conditions (over approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then started, the LDW system may be deacti- vated automatically and the following message will appear in the vehicle infor- mation display: “Unavailable: High Cabin Temperature." When the interior temperature is reduced, the LDW system will resume operating automatically. The LDW system is not designed to warn under the following conditions: • When you operate the lane change signal and change traveling lanes in the direc- tion of the signal. (The LDW system will become operable again approximately 2 seconds after the lane change signal is turned off.)
• When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h).
After the above conditions have finished and the necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the LDW functions will resume. SYSTEM MALFUNCTION If the LDW system malfunctions, it will can- cel automatically and “Not Available Sys- tem Malfunction” will appear in the vehicle information display. If “Not Available Sys- tem Malfunction” appears in the vehicle in- formation display, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle. Place the shift position in the P (Park) position and the ignition switch in the OFF position and restart the engine/motor. If “Not Available System Malfunction” continues to appear in the vehicle information display, have the system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE The lane camera unit O1 for the LDW sys- tem is located above the inside mirror. To keep the proper operation of the LDW sys- tem and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to observe the following: • Always keep the windshield clean. • Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material) or install an accessory near the camera unit.
• Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instru- ment panel. The reflection of sunlight may adversely affect the camera unit’s capability of detecting the lane markers.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera lens or remove the screw located on the camera unit. If the camera unit is damaged due to an accident, it is recom- mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
