BSW SYSTEM OPERATION

The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h).

If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light illumi-
nates.

If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.

NOTE:
. The side indicator light illuminates for

a few seconds when the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position.

. The brightness of the side indicator

light is adjusted automatically depend-
ing on the brightness of the ambient
light.

. If a vehicle comes into the detection

zone after the driver activates the turn
signal, then only the side indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. For
additional information, refer to “BSW
driving situations” (P.5-21).

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.

. The BSW system cannot detect all

vehicles under all conditions.

. The radar sensors may not be able

to detect and activate BSW when
certain objects are present such as:

— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.

— Vehicles such as motorcycles,

low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.

— Oncoming vehicles.

— Vehicles remaining in the detec-

tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.

— A vehicle merging into an adja-

cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.

— A vehicle approaching rapidly

from behind.

— A vehicle which your vehicle

overtakes rapidly.

— A vehicle that passes through

the detection zone quickly.

— When overtaking several vehi-

cles in a row, the vehicles after
the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling
close together.

. The radar sensor’s detection zone is

designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar
sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.

. The radar sensors are designed to

ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This
is a normal operating condition.

. The following conditions may re-

duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:

— Severe weather

— Road spray

— Ice/frost/snow build-up on the

vehicle

— Dirt build-up on the vehicle

. Do not attach stickers (including

transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles.

. Do not use the BSW system when

towing a trailer because the system
may not function properly.

. Excessive noise (for example, audio

system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS

The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 89 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.

To turn on the cruise control, push the MAIN
switch on. The CRUISE indicator light will
illuminate.

To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET
switch and release it. Take your foot off the

accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the
set speed.
. To pass another vehicle, depress the

accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previously
set speed.

. The vehicle may not maintain the set speed

on winding or hilly roads. If this happens,
drive without the cruise control.

To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following methods:

1. Push the CANCEL switch.

2. Tap the brake pedal.

3. Turn the MAIN switch off. The CRUISE light

will turn off.

. If you depress the brake pedal while pushing

the ACCELERATE/RESUME or COAST/
SET switch and reset at the cruising speed,
the cruise control will disengage. Turn the
MAIN switch off once and then turn it on
again.

. The cruise control will automatically cancel if

the vehicle slows more than 8 MPH (13
km/h) below the set speed.

. If you move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)

position, the cruise control will be canceled.

To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the

vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.

. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RESUME

switch. When the vehicle attains the desired
speed, release the switch.

. Push, then quickly release the ACCELER-

ATE/RESUME switch. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h).

To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the

vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.

. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.

Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.

. Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET

switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).

To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set cruising
speed when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH
(40 km/h).

CAUTION

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and econo-
my of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and
reduced engine performance.

. Avoid driving for long periods at constant

speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.

. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
. Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles

(800 km). Your engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.

1. Use smooth accelerator and brake pedal

application.

Avoid rapid starts and stops.

Use smooth, gentle accelerator and

brake application whenever possible.

Maintain constant speed while commut-

ing and coast whenever possible.

2. Maintain constant speed.

Look ahead to try and anticipate and

minimize stops.

Synchronizing your speed with traffic

lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.

Maintaining a steady speed can minimize

red light stops and improve fuel effi-
ciency.

3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher vehicle

speeds.

Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.

Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.

BREAK-IN SCHEDULE

FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

5-28

Starting and driving

Recirculating the cool air in the cabin

when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.

4. Drive at economical speeds and distances.

Observing the speed limit and not ex-

ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where
legally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.

Maintaining a safe following distance

behind other vehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.

Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate

changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.

Select a gear range suitable to road

conditions.

5. Use cruise control.

Using cruise control during highway

driving helps maintain a steady speed.

Cruise control is particularly effective in

providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.

6. Plan for the shortest route.

Utilize a map or navigation system to

determine the best route to save time.

7. Avoid idling.

Shutting off your engine when safe for

stops exceeding 30-60 seconds saves

fuel and reduces emissions.

8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.

Automated passes permit drivers to use

special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting.

9. Winter warm up.

Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel

economy.

Vehicles typically need no more than 30

seconds of idling at start-up to effectively
circulate the engine oil before driving.

Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating

temperature more quickly while driving
versus idling.

10. Keeping your vehicle cool.

Park your vehicle in a covered parking

area or in the shade whenever possible.

When entering a hot vehicle, opening the

windows will help to reduce the inside
temperature faster, resulting in reduced
demand on your A/C system.

. Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended scheduled main-

tenance.

. Keep the tires inflated to the correct

pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.

. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.

. Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

(See “Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tion” (P.10-5).)

INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY

SSD0488

WARNING

. Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.

. Safe parking procedures require

that both the parking brake be set
and the transmission placed into P
(Park). Failure to do so could cause
the vehicle to move unexpectedly or
roll away and result in an accident.
Make sure the shift lever has been
pushed as far forward as it can go

and cannot be moved without de-
pressing the foot brake pedal.

. Never leave the engine running

while the vehicle is unattended.

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.

. To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of
the vehicle and/or its systems, do
not leave children, people who re-

quire the assistance of others or
pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside
a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into

traffic when parked on an incline, it is a good
practice to turn the wheels as illustrated.

HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:

Turn the wheels into the curb and move
the vehicle forward until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.

HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:

Turn the wheels away from the curb and
move the vehicle back until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.

HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO

CURB:

Turn the wheels toward the side of the
road so the vehicle will move away from
the center of the road if it moves.

4. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK

position.

WARNING

. If the engine is not running or is

turned off while driving, the power
assist for the steering will not work.
Steering will be harder to operate.

. When the hydraulic pump electric

power steering warning light illumi-
nates with the engine running, the
power assist for the steering will
cease operation. You will still have
control of the vehicle, but the steer-
ing will be much harder to operate.

The hydraulic pump electric power steering is
designed to provide power assistance while
driving to operate the steering wheel with light
force.

When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly
or continuously while parking or driving at a very
low speed, the power assist for the steering
wheel will be reduced. This is to prevent
overheating of the hydraulic pump electric
power steering and protect it from getting
damaged. While the power assist is reduced,
steering wheel operation will become heavy.
When the temperature of the power steering
system goes down, the power assist level will

return to normal. Avoid repeating such steering
wheel operations that could cause the hydraulic
pump electric power steering to overheat.

You may hear a noise from the front of the
vehicle when the steering wheel is operated.
This is not a malfunction.

If the hydraulic pump electric power steering
warning light illuminates while the engine is
running, it may indicate the hydraulic pump
electric power steering is not functioning prop-
erly and may need servicing. It is recommended
you have the hydraulic pump electric power
steering checked by a NISSAN dealer.

When the hydraulic pump electric power steer-
ing warning light illuminates with the engine
running, the power assist for the steering will
cease operation but you will still have control of
the vehicle. At this time, greater steering efforts
are required to operate the steering wheel,
especially in sharp turns and at low speeds.

BRAKING PRECAUTIONS

The brake system has two separate hydraulic
circuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still
have braking at two wheels.

Vacuum assisted brakes

The brake booster aids braking by using engine
vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the
vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. However,
greater foot pressure on the brake pedal will be
required to stop the vehicle and the stopping
distance will be longer.

Using the brakes

Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while
driving. This will cause overheating of the
brakes, wearing out the brake and pads faster
and reduce gas mileage.

To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the
brakes from overheating, reduce speed and
downshift to a lower gear before going down a
slope or long grade. Overheated brakes may
reduce braking performance and could result in
loss of vehicle control.

WARNING

. While driving on a slippery surface,

be careful when braking, accelerat-

ing or downshifting. Abrupt braking
or accelerating could cause the
wheels to skid and result in an
accident.

. If the engine is not running or is

turned off while driving, the power
assist for the brakes will not work.
Braking will be harder.

Wet brakes

When the vehicle is washed or driven through
water, the brakes may get wet. As a result, your
braking distance will be longer and the vehicle
may pull to one side during braking.

To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed
while lightly tapping the brake pedal to heat-up
the brakes. Do this until the brakes return to
normal. Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds
until the brakes function correctly.

PARKING BRAKE BREAK-IN

Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the
stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened
or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or
drums/rotors are replaced, in order to assure the
best braking performance.

This procedure is described in the vehicle
service manual. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

WARNING

. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

is a sophisticated device, but it
cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help maintain
vehicle control during braking on
slippery surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances on slippery sur-
faces will be longer than on normal
surfaces even with ABS. Stopping
distances may also be longer on
rough, gravel or snow covered
roads, or if you are using tire chains.
Always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Ultimately, the driver is responsible
for safety.

. Tire type and condition may also

affect braking effectiveness.

— When replacing tires, install the

specified size of tires on all four
wheels.

— When installing a spare tire,

make sure that it is the proper
size and type as specified on the

Tire and Loading Information
label. See “Tire and Loading
Information label” (P.10-10).

— For detailed information, see

“Wheels and tires” (P.8-27).

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls
the brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard
braking or when braking on slippery surfaces.
The system detects the rotation speed at each
wheel and varies the brake fluid pressure to
prevent each wheel from locking and sliding. By
preventing each wheel from locking, the system
helps the driver maintain steering control and
helps to minimize swerving and spinning on
slippery surfaces.

Using the system

Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.
Depress the brake pedal with firm steady
pressure, but do not pump the brakes. The
ABS will operate to prevent the wheels from
locking up. Steer the vehicle to avoid obstacles.

WARNING

Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so
may result in increased stopping dis-
tances.

Starting and driving

5-31

5-32

Starting and driving

Self-test feature

The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine
and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward
or reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may
hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction. If the computer senses
a malfunction, it switches the ABS off and
illuminates the ABS warning light on the
instrument panel. The brake system then oper-
ates normally, but without anti-lock assistance.

If the ABS warning light illuminates during the
self-test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Normal operation

The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6 MPH
(5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies according to
road conditions.

When the ABS senses that one or more wheels
are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly
applies and releases hydraulic pressure. This
action is similar to pumping the brakes very
quickly. You may feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise from under the hood or

feel a vibration from the actuator when it is
operating. This is normal and indicates that the
ABS is operating properly. However, the pulsa-
tion may indicate that road conditions are
hazardous and extra care is required while
driving.

The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system
uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs
and vehicle motion. Under certain driving con-
ditions, the VDC system helps to perform the
following functions.
. Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel

slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is
transferred to a non slipping drive wheel on
the same axle.

. Controls brake pressure and engine output

to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function).

. Controls brake pressure at individual wheels

and engine output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the following
conditions:
— understeer (vehicle tends to not follow

the steered path despite increased
steering input)

— oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to

certain road or driving conditions).

The VDC system can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but it cannot prevent loss
of vehicle control in all driving situations.

When the VDC system operates, the VDC
warning light

in the instrument panel flashes

so note the following:
. The road may be slippery or the system may

determine some action is required to help

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
SYSTEM

keep the vehicle on the steered path.

. You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal

and hear a noise or vibration from under the
hood. This is normal and indicates that the
VDC system is working properly.

. Adjust your speed and driving to the road

conditions.

See “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warning
light” (P.2-16).

If a malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC
warning light

illuminates in the instrument

panel. The VDC system automatically turns off.

The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the VDC
system. The VDC off indicator light
illuminates to indicate the VDC system is off.
When the VDC switch is used to turn off the
system, the VDC system still operates to prevent
one drive wheel from slipping by transferring
power to a non slipping drive wheel. The VDC
warning light

flashes if this occurs. All other

VDC functions are off, and the VDC warning
light

will not flash. The VDC system is

automatically reset to on when the ignition
switch is placed in the off position then back
to the on position.

See “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warning
light” (P.2-16) and “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) off indicator light” (P.2-18).

The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature

that tests the system each time you start the
engine and move the vehicle forward or in
reverse at a slow speed. When the self-test
occurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise and/or feel
a pulsation in the brake pedal. This is normal and
is not an indication of a malfunction.

WARNING

. The VDC system is designed to help

the driver maintain stability but
does not prevent accidents due to
abrupt steering operation at high
speeds or by careless or dangerous
driving techniques. Reduce vehicle
speed and be especially careful
when driving and cornering on slip-
pery surfaces and always drive care-
fully.

. Do not modify the vehicle’s suspen-

sion. If suspension parts such as
shock absorbers, struts, springs,
stabilizer bars, bushings and
wheels are not NISSAN recom-
mended for your vehicle or are
extremely deteriorated, the VDC
system may not operate properly.
This could adversely affect vehicle
handling performance, and the VDC

warning light

may illuminate.

. If brake related parts such as brake

pads, rotors and calipers are not
NISSAN recommended or are extre-
mely deteriorated, the VDC system
may not operate properly and the
VDC warning light

may illumi-

nate.

. If engine control related parts are

not NISSAN recommended or are
extremely deteriorated, the VDC
warning light

may illuminate.

. When driving on extremely inclined

surfaces such as higher banked
corners, the VDC system may not
operate properly and the VDC warn-
ing light

may illuminate. Do not

drive on these types of roads.

. When driving on an unstable sur-

face such as a turntable, ferry,
elevator or ramp, the VDC warning
light

may illuminate. This is not

a malfunction. Restart the engine
after driving onto a stable surface.

. If wheels or tires other than the

NISSAN recommended ones are
used, the VDC system may not
operate properly and the VDC warn-
