Shift lock release

If the battery charge is low or discharged,
the shift lever may not be moved from the
P (Park) position even with the brake pedal
depressed and the shift lever button
pressed.

It will be necessary to jump start or have
your battery charged. For additional infor-
mation, see “Jump starting” (P. 6-11). Contact
a NISSAN dealer or a professional towing
service.

To move the shift lever, complete the fol-
lowing procedure:

1. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK

position.

2. Apply the parking brake.

3. Using a protective cloth on the tip of a 3

mm screwdriver, remove the shift lock
release cover.

• If available, a plastic trim tool can also

be used.

4. Insert the small screwdriver in the shift

lock release slot and push down.

5. Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)

position while holding down the shift
lock release.

If the shift lever cannot be moved out of P
(Park), have the transmission checked as
soon as possible. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

WARNING

If the shift lever cannot be moved from
the P (Park) position while the engine is
running and the brake pedal is de-
pressed, the stop lights may not work.
Malfunctioning stop lights could cause
an accident injuring yourself and others.

Drive sport mode switch

When the drive sport mode switch is
pushed with the shift lever in the D (Drive)
position, the drive sport mode indicator in
the instrument panel appears. For addi-
tional information, see “Drive sport mode
indicator” (P. 2-33) or (P. 2-53)

Starting and driving

Each time the engine is started, or when
the shift lever is shifted to any position
other than D (Drive), the drive sport mode
will automatically turn off.

Accelerator downshift
— in D (Drive) position —

For passing or hill climbing, depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts
the transmission down into a lower gear,
depending on the vehicle speed.

High fluid temperature protection
mode

This transmission has a high fluid tem-
perature protection mode. If the fluid tem-
perature becomes too high (for example,
when climbing steep grades in high tem-
peratures with heavy loads, such as when
towing a trailer), engine power and, under
some conditions, vehicle speed will be de-
creased

automatically

reduce

the

chance of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the accelera-
tor pedal, but the engine and vehicle speed
may be limited.

Fail-safe

If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel
spinning and subsequent hard braking,
the fail-safe system may be activated.
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. For additional infor-
mation, see “Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” (P. 2-16). This will occur even if all
electrical circuits are functioning prop-
erly. In this case, place the ignition switch
in the OFF position and wait for 10 sec-
onds. Then push the switch back to the
ON position. The vehicle should return to
its normal operating condition. If it does
not return to its normal operating condi-
tion, have the transmission checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

WARNING

When the high fluid temperature pro-
tection mode or fail-safe operation oc-
curs, vehicle speed may be gradually
reduced. The reduced speed may be
lower than other traffic, which could in-
crease the chance of a collision. Be es-
pecially careful when driving. If neces-
sary, pull to the side of the road at a safe
place and allow the transmission to re-
turn to normal operation, or have it re-
paired if necessary.

I-LI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for the I-LI system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper
use of the I-LI system could result in
serious injury or death.

•

The I-LI system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a
construction zone directs traffic to
cross an existing lane marker. If this
occurs you may need to apply correc-
tive steering to complete your lane
change.

•

Because the I-LI may not activate
under the road, weather, and lane
marker conditions described in this
section, it may not activate every
time your vehicle begins to leave its
lane and you will need to apply cor-
rective steering.

•

When the I-LI system is operating,
avoid excessive or sudden steering
maneuvers. Otherwise, you could
lose control of the vehicle.

•

The I-LI system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37 mph
(60 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.

•

Do not use the I-LI 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.

–

When driving without normal tire

conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare

tire,

tire

chains,

non-

standard wheels).

–

When the vehicle is equipped with

non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.

–

When you are towing a trailer or

other vehicle.

–

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 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 re-
pairs. (The I-LI 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 or dirt adheres to

the windshield in front of the lane
camera unit.

5-42

Starting and driving

–

When the headlights are not bright

due to dirt on the lens or if the aim-
ing 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.)

While the I-LI system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is
normal and indicates that the I-LI system is
operating properly.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE

Condition A:

The warning and assist functions of the I-LI
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
• When you operate the lane change signal

and change the traveling lanes in the di-
rection of the signal. (The I-LI system
will be deactivated for 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 warning and assist func-
tions will resume.

Condition B:

The assist function of the I-LI system is not
designed to work under the following con-
ditions (warning is still functional):
• When the brake pedal is depressed or if

the vehicle decelerates strongly.

• When the steering wheel is turned as far

as necessary for the vehicle to change
lanes.

• When the vehicle is accelerated during

I-LI system operation.

• When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)

approach warning occurs.

• When the hazard warning flashers are

operated.

• When driving on a curve at high speed.

After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions
are satisfied, the I-LI system application of
the brakes will resume.

Condition C:

If the following messages appear in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound, and the I-LI system will be turned off
automatically.
• “Not Available Poor Road Conditions”:

When the VDC system (except Traction
Control System [TCS] function) or ABS
operates.

• “Currently not available”:

When the VDC system is turned off.

Action to take:

When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the I-LI system. Push the ProPILOT
Assist switch (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist) on the steering wheel again to turn
the I-LI system back on.

Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:

If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then the
I-LI system is turned on, the I-LI system
may be deactivated automatically, a chime
will sound and the following message will
appear in the vehicle information display:
“Unavailable: High Cabin Temperature.”

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

If the I-LI system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically. The LDW indicator (orange),
along with a message will appear in the
vehicle information display, and a chime
will sound. If the LDW indicator (orange) illu-
minates in the display, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle. Turn the
engine/motor off and restart the engine/
motor. If the LDW indicator (orange) contin-
ues to illuminate, have the I-LI system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

The lane camera unit

for the I-LI system

is located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of the I-LI system 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

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the BSW
system could result in serious injury or
death.

•

The BSW system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is
not designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the di-
rection your vehicle will move to en-
sure it is safe to change lanes. Never
rely solely on the BSW system.

The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes.

The BSW system uses radar sensors

installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane.

The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated. This detec-
tion zone starts from the outside mirror of
your vehicle and extends approximately
10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.

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 seri-
ous injury or death.

•

The BSW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.

•

The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when cer-
tain objects are present such as:

–

Pedestrian, 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 adjacent

lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.

–

vehicle

approaching

rapidly

from behind.

–

A vehicle which your vehicle over-

takes rapidly.

–

A vehicle that passes through the

detection zone quickly.

–

When overtaking several vehicles

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

•

The radar sensors’ detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors 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 operation condition.

•

The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:

–

Severe weather

–

Road spray

–

Ice/frost/snow/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.

•

Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
