Propilot assist (if so equipped)
Starting and driving 5-87
• There are limitations to the ProPILOT Assist system capability. The ProPI- LOT Assist system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions. It is the driver’s re- sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a collision warning or avoidance device.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is for highway use only and is not intended for city driving. Failure to apply the brakes or steer the vehicle when nec- essary may result in a serious accident.
• Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
• Never take your hands off the steer- ing wheel when driving. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and drive your vehicle safely.
• Never unfasten your safety belt when using ProPILOT Assist. Doing so automatically cancels the ProPILOT Assist system.
• The ProPILOT Assist system does not react to stationary and slow moving vehicles.
• Always drive carefully and atten- tively when using the ProPILOT Assist system. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the ProPILOT Assist system. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent acci- dents or to control the vehicle’s speed in emergency situations. Do not use the ProPILOT Assist system except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following a vehicle traveling in the same lane and direction. The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi- sensing front camera OA installed behind the windshield and a radar sensor located on the front of the vehicle OB to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane and to monitor the lane mark- ers. If the vehicle 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 system will also help keep the vehicle centered in the traveling lane when clear lane markings are detected.
PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM OPERATION

1 Steering-wheel-mounted control (left) 2 Vehicle information display
3 Steering-wheel-mounted control (right)
4 ProPILOT Assist switch The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow- ing two functions: 1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of two cruise control modes:
• Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con- trol mode: For cruising at a preset speed
NOTE: Steering Assist is not available in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode.
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
The ICC system maintains a se- lected distance from the vehicle in front of you within the speed range of 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up to the set speed. The set speed can be selected by the driver between 20 to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h). When the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, your vehicle gradually decelerates to a standstill. When the vehicle is stopped, the ICC system maintains brak- ing force to keep your vehicle stopped.LSD4204
NOTE: When your vehicle is stopped for less than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to move, your vehicle will start moving again automatically.
– When your vehicle is at a stand- still for more than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to accel- erate, push the RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelerator pedal. The ICC system starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
– When no vehicle is detected ahead within the driver selected distance, the vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The speed must be above 20 mph (32 km/h) to use this function.
• For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT As- sist with Navi-link and only when on a limited access freeway (as identified in the navigation map data): – The time the vehicle can remain
stopped and automatically restart is extended from 3 seconds to 30 seconds.
– If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of the lane ahead, the vehicle may not auto- matically start when the traffic ahead begins to move. You need to push up the RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelerator pedal to follow the vehicle directly ahead when it is safe to do so.
NOTE: Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak- ing (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection set- ting is turned off by the driver using the “Settings” menu in the vehicle informa- tion display, AEB with Pedestrian Detec- tion will be automatically turned on when ICC is used.
2. Steering Assist
The Steering Assist function controls the steering system to help keep your ve- hicle within the traveling lane. When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering Assist is not available at speeds under 37 mph (60 km/h).

• Push down, then quickly release, the SET- switch O2 . Each time you do this, the set speed decreases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
How to momentarily accelerate or decelerate • Depress the accelerator pedal when ac-
celeration is required. Release the accel- erator pedal to resume the previously set vehicle speed.
• Depress the brake pedal when decelera- tion is required. Control by the ProPILOT Assist system is canceled. Push the RES+ switch to resume the previously set ve- hicle speed.
WARNING When the accelerator pedal is de- pressed and you are approaching the vehicle ahead, the ICC system will nei- ther control the brake nor warn the driver with the chime and display. The driver must manually control the ve- hicle speed to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury or death.
NOTE: When you accelerate by depressing the accelerator pedal or decelerate by push- ing the SET- switch and the vehicle trav- els faster than the speed set by the driver, the set speed vehicle indicator will blink.
How to change the set distance to the vehicle ahead The distance to the vehicle ahead can be selected at any time. Each time the DISTANCE switch OA is pushed, the set distance will change to long, middle, short and back to long again in that sequence.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)
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 warning or avoidance device. It is rec- ommended for highway use only and it is not intended for city driving. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• There are limitations to the ICC sys- tem capability. The ICC system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions. 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.
• Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
• The ICC system does not react to sta- tionary and slow moving vehicles.
• Always drive carefully and atten- tively when using the ICC system. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the ICC system. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the vehicle’s speed in emergency situa- tions. Do not use the ICC system ex- cept in appropriate road and traffic conditions.
ICC system operation 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 decel- erates 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 traffic condi- tions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the travel- ing lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be- tween vehicles may become closer be- cause the ICC system cannot decelerate
Starting and driving 5-103
the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system sounds a warning chime and blinks the system display to notify the driver to take necessary action. The ICC system cancels and a warning chime sounds if the speed is below ap- proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not detected ahead. For ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link equipped vehicles on a lim- ited access freeway as identified in the navigation map data, the ICC system can- cels and a warning chime sounds if your vehicle is at a standstill for more than ap- proximately 3 seconds and a vehicle is not detected ahead. The ICC system operates as follows: • 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. Once your ve- hicle stops, the ICC system keeps the ve- hicle stopped.
• When your vehicle is stopped for less than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to move, your vehicle will start moving again automatically.
• When your vehicle is at a standstill for more than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to accelerate, push the RES+ switch or lightly depress the accel- erator pedal. The ICC system starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
• When the vehicle traveling ahead moves to a different traveling lane, the ICC sys- tem 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.
When driving on the freeway at a set speed and approaching a slower traveling vehicle ahead, the ICC system adjusts 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 accelerates and maintains the speed up to the set speed. Pay atten- tion to the driving operation to maintain control of the vehicle as it accelerates to the set speed. The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on winding or hilly roads. If this oc- curs, you will have to manually control the vehicle speed.
SSD0254
5-104 Starting and driving
Normally when controlling the distance to a vehicle ahead, the 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 sudden braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when using the ICC system.
No vehicle detected ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based on the road conditions. The ICC sys- tem maintains the set vehicle speed, simi- lar to standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The ICC system displays the set speed.
System set display with no vehicle detected ahead (7 inch (18 cm) display)
System set display with no vehicle detected ahead (12.3 inch (31.2 cm) display)
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 ICC system then controls the vehicle speed based on the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver selected distance.
NOTE: • The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC system.
• When the brake is applied by the sys- tem, a noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
When the ICC system detects a vehicle ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indica- tor and the speed control status indicator (distance control mode) illuminates (solid green ).
Vehicle ahead stops
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to stop, your vehicle decelerates to a stand- still. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC sys- tem automatically applies the brakes to keep the vehicle stopped. When your ve- hicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Press to start” message is displayed on the vehicle information display.
NOTE: When your vehicle stops for less than 3 seconds, your vehicle will automatically follow the vehicle as it accelerates from a stop.
Vehicle ahead accelerates
• When your vehicle is stopped for less
than approximately 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to move, your ve- hicle will start moving again automatically.
• When your vehicle is at a standstill for more than approximately 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to accelerate, push up the RES+ switch or lightly de- press the accelerator pedal. The ICC sys- tem starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
• Always check surroundings before re- starting the vehicle.
• For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT As- sist with Navi-link and only when on a limited access freeway (as identified in the navigation map data): – The time the vehicle can remain
stopped and automatically restart is extended from 3 seconds to 30 seconds.
– If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of the lane ahead, the vehicle may not auto- matically start when the traffic ahead begins to move. You need to push up the RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelerator pedal to follow the vehicle directly ahead when it is safe to do so.
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 and speed control status indicator (main- tain speed control mode) illuminates (green outline ). The ICC system gradually accelerates to the set speed, but you can depress the accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate. When a vehicle is no longer detected and your vehicle is traveling under approxi- mately 15 mph (24 km/h), the ICC system automatically cancels.
When passing another vehicle, the set speed indicator OA flashes when the ve- hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve- hicle ahead detection indicator turns off when the area ahead of the vehicle is open. When the pedal is released, the vehicle re- turns to the previously set speed. Even though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC system, you can depress the accelerator pedal when it is necessary to accelerate your vehicle rapidly.
LSD4237
Starting and driving 5-107
Cut-in detection If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane near your vehicle, the ICC system may in- form the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead detection indicator.
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. • You judge it necessary to maintain a safe
distance. 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 vehicles is increasing.
• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when: • Your vehicle approaches other vehicles
that are parked or moving slowly. • The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
NOTE: The approach warning chime may sound and the system display may flash when the radar 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 radar sensor may detect these objects when the vehicle is driven on winding, narrow, or hilly roads or when the vehicle is entering or exiting a curve. In these cases, you will have to manually control the proper distance ahead of your vehicle. Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af- fected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle conditions (for ex- ample, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage).
Acceleration when passing When the ICC system is engaged above 43 mph and following a slower vehicle (below ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti- vated to the left, the ICC system will auto- matically start to accelerate the vehicle to help initiate passing on the left and will begin to reduce the distance to vehicle di- rectly ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates this feature. As the driver steers the vehicle and moves into the passing lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC system will continue to accelerate to the ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel- erate up to the following speed of that ve- hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the left lane to pass, the acceleration will stop after a short time and regain the set follow- ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped at any point by depressing the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on the steering wheel.
5-108 Starting and driving
WARNING In order to reduce the risk of a collision that may result in serious injury or death, please be aware of the following:
• This function is only activated with
the left turn signal and will briefly ac- celerate the vehicle even if a lane change is not initiated. This can in- clude non-passing situations such as left side exits.
• Ensure that when passing another vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear be- fore initiating the pass. Sudden changes in traffic may occur while passing- always manually steer or brake as needed- never solely rely on the system.
Speed Limit Assist - a feature of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (if so equipped) When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is active and it detects a change of the speed limit, the new speed limit is indicated and it can be applied to the vehicle set speed automatically or manually.
The Speed Limit Assist operates: • When the detected speed limit is 20 mph
(30 km/h) and above. • The “Spd. Limit Assist” is enabled in the
settings menu of the vehicle information display.
NOTE:
• While the accelerator pedal is operated
with AUTO mode selected, the Speed Limit Assist will function (automatically adjusts the vehicle set speed) only when the detected speed limit is faster than the vehicle set speed.
• In the following situations, the Speed Limit Assist will not operate:
– When an increase in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the ve- hicle set speed is already faster than the new speed limit.
– When a decrease in the posted speed limit is detected, but the ve- hicle set speed is already lower than the new speed limit.
System display and indicators
1. Detected speed limit indicator
Displays the currently detected speed limit. For additional information, see “Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)” (P. 5-33).
2. Applied speed limit indicator (green frame) Indicates the detected speed limit can be applied to vehicle set speed.

Operating the system
When the system detects a different speed limit, the new speed value is indicated. The vehicle set speed can be changed to the indicated speed limit automatically or manually.
When Manual mode is selected on set- tings menu (factory default setting):
• To accept the newly indicated speed limit,
operate the RES+ switch (in case of speed limit up) or SET- switch (in case of speed limit down).
• The Speed Limit Assist indicator ( or ) will turn off after approximately 10
seconds if the RES+ or SET- switch is not operated. (The Speed Limit Assist indica- tor can be turned off immediately by op- erating the opposite switch from the di- rection indicated by the Speed Limit Assist indicator.)
The system will not activate if a speed limit change is not detected.
When Auto mode is selected on the set- tings menu:
• The indicated speed limit is applied to the
vehicle set speed automatically when on a limited access freeway as identified in the navigation map data. Also, if the Pro- PILOT Assist with Navi-link system is on, but not set (active), and a new speed limit is detected, the vehicle set speed is auto- matically updated.
• The Auto mode may not be available in some regions or on roads other than lim- ited access freeways. In this case, the sys- tem operates as the Manual mode.

Speed Adjust by Route - a feature of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (if so equipped) When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is active on a limited access freeway (as iden- tified in the navigation map data), the Speed Adjust by Route uses road informa- tion provided by the navigation system and can adjust the vehicle speed depend- ing on curves, junctions or exits and the driver may need to apply additional brak- ing at any time. When the vehicle is through the curve or junction, the vehicle will accelerate again to the set speed. When exiting the limited ac- cess freeway, the driver will need to apply braking at the end of the exit.
NOTE:
• The system does not operate when the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
• The system may not operate depend-
ing on the set distance to the vehicle ahead and vehicles detected ahead.

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 system 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.

5-112 Starting and driving
• 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 vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the dis- tance to the vehicle ahead and the surrounding circumstances in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles.
• When the ICC system automatically brings the car to a stop, your vehicle can automatically accelerate if the vehicle is stopped for less than ap- proximately 3 seconds. Be prepared to stop your vehicle if necessary.
• Always check surroundings before restarting the vehicle.
• Always pay attention to the opera- tion of the vehicle and be ready to manually control the proper follow- ing distance. The ICC system may not be able to maintain the selected dis- tance between 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 un- der the following conditions:
– On roads with heavy, high-speed
traffic or 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 difficult to keep a proper distance between vehicles because of fre- quent acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by 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. Al- ways stay alert and avoid using the ICC system where not recommended in this warning section.
The ICC system will not detect the following objects: • Stationary or 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 radar sensor cannot properly detect a vehicle ahead and the system may not op- erate properly: • When the sensor detection is reduced
(conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and road spray from other vehicles)
• Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves
Starting and driving 5-113
• Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road
• If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cover- ing the radar sensor area
• A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is near the vehicle ahead.
• Interference by other radar sources • When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc. • 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 radar sensor’s operation within the limitations of the system. The detection zone of the radar sensor is limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de- tection zone for the ICC system to maintain the selected 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 center line of the lane. A vehicle that is en- tering 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 distance away from the vehicle traveling ahead. The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses a multi-sensing front camera. The follow- ing are some conditions in which the cam- era may not properly detect a vehicle and detection of a vehicle ahead may be de- layed: • Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,
snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and road spray from other vehicles)
• The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water drops, ice, snow, etc.
• Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) enters the front camera
• A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning flashes)

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 radar system to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. 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 sound- ing the chime unexpectedly. You will have to manually control the proper distance away from the vehicle traveling ahead.
System Temporarily Unavailable The following are conditions in which the ICC system may be temporarily unavail- able. In these instances, the ICC system may not cancel and may not be able to maintain the selected following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Condition A
Under the following conditions, the ICC sys- tem is automatically canceled. A chime will sound and the system will not be able to be set: • Any door is open. • The driver’s seat belt is not fastened. • The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed of 15 mph (24 km/h). For ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link equipped vehicles on a lim- ited access freeway as identified in the navigation map data, the ICC system cancels and a warning chime sounds if your vehicle is at a standstill for more than approximately 3 seconds and a ve- hicle is not detected ahead.
• Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC system for approximately 3 minutes or longer.
• The shift lever is not in the D (Drive) posi- tion or manual shift mode.

ICC system malfunction If the ICC system malfunctions, it will be turned off automatically, a chime will sound, and the speed control status warning (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, stop the ve- hicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the engine and set the ICC system again. If it is not possible to set the ICC system or the indicator stays on, it may be a malfunction. Although the normal driving can be continued, the ICC system should
be inspected. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
NOTE: If the ICC system is temporarily unavail- able, the conventional cruise control mode may still be used. For additional information, see “Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode” (P. 5-127).
ICC sensor maintenance The radar sensor is located on the front of the vehicle. To keep the ICC 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 attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory near the sensor. 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.
LSD4329
5-118 Starting and driving
Before customizing or restoring the front bumper, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer. The camera sensor is located above the inside mirror. To keep the proper operation of the sys- tems and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to observe the following: • Always keep the windshield clean. • Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent 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 recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use of the Steer- ing Assist could result in serious injury or death.
• The Steering Assist is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures and is not designed to correct care- less, inattentive or absent-minded driving. The Steering Assist will not always steer the vehicle to keep it in the lane. It is not designed to prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s re- sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist’s capability, never rely solely on the system. The Steer- ing Assist does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions. Always drive safely, pay attention to the operation of the ve- hicle, and manually control your ve- hicle appropriately.
• The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed freeways or highways with gentle (moderate) curves. To avoid risk of an accident, do not use this system on local or non-highway roads.
• The Steering Assist only steers the vehicle to maintain its position in the center of a lane. The vehicle will not steer to avoid objects in the road in front of the vehicle or to avoid a ve- hicle moving into your lane.
• 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. Never take your hands off the steering wheel when driving. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and drive your vehicle safely.
Starting and driving 5-119
• Always drive carefully and atten- tively when using the Steering Assist. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the Steering Assist. To avoid serious in- jury or death, do not rely on the sys- tem to prevent accidents or to con- trol the vehicle’s speed in emergency situations. Do not use the Steering Assist except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.
Steering Assist operation The Steering Assist controls the steering system to help keep your vehicle near the center of the lane when driving. The Steer- ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional information, see “Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)” (P. 5-103). The Steering Assist can be activated when the following conditions are met: • The ICC system is activated. • Lane markers on both sides are clearly
detected. • A vehicle ahead is detected (when the
vehicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph [60 km/h]).
• The driver grips the steering wheel. • The vehicle is driven at the center of the
lane. • The turn signals are not operated. • The windshield wiper is not operated in
the high (HI) speed operation (the Steer- ing Assist function is disabled after the wiper operates for approximately 10 seconds).

A chime sounds when the Steering Assist initially activates. When the Steering Assist deactivates, the Steering Assist status indicator O1 , the Steering Assist indicator O2 , and the lane marker indicator O3 on the vehicle infor- mation display turn gray and a chime sounds.
Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) When a curve or strong cross wind exceeds the capabilities of the Steering Assist and your vehicle approaches either the left or the right side of the traveling lane, the I-LI indicator (orange) on the instrument panel flashes to alert the driver. Then, the I-LI sys- tem automatically applies the brakes for a short period of time to help assist the driver to return the vehicle to the center of the traveling lane. This action is in addition to any Steering Assist actions.
Hands on detection
When the Steering Assist is activated, it monitors the driver’s steering wheel operation. If the steering wheel is not operated or the driver takes his/her hands off the steering wheel for a period of time, the warning O1 appears in the vehicle information display. If the driver does not operate the steering wheel after the warning has been dis- played, an audible alert sounds and the warning flashes in the vehicle information display, followed by a quick brake applica- tion to request the driver to take control of the vehicle again. If the driver still does not respond, the Pro- PILOT Assist turns on the hazard flasher and slows the vehicle to a complete stop. The driver can cancel the deceleration at any time by steering, braking, accelerating, or operating the ProPILOT Assist switch.
WARNING Steering Assist is not a system for hands-free driving. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and drive your vehicle safely. Failure to do so could cause a collision resulting in seri- ous personal injury or death.
NOTE: If the driver lightly touches (instead of firmly grips) the steering wheel, the steering torque sensor may not detect the driver’s hand(s) on the wheel and a sequence of warnings may occur. When the driver holds and operates the steer- ing wheel again, the warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
