cator light is adjusted automatically de-
pending 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 BSW/RCTA indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. For addi-
tional information, refer to “BSW driving
situations” in this section.

The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
• When the steering wheel is turned as far
as necessary to avoid a collision.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• When there is no longer a vehicle de-

The AEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). For the pe-
destrian detection function, the system
operates at speeds between 6 – 37 mph (10
– 60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will firstly provide the warning to the driver
by flashing the vehicle ahead detection in-
dicator (yellow) in the vehicle information
display (if so equipped) and providing an
audible alert. If the driver applies the brakes
quickly and forcefully after the warning,
and the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem detects that there is still the possibility
of a forward collision, the system will auto-
matically increase the braking force.
LSD3688

If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues
the second visual (flashing) (red and white)

driver releases the accelerator pedal, then
the system applies partial braking. If the
risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
AEB with Pedestrian Detection system ap-
plies harder braking automatically.
While the AEB with Pedestrian Detection

sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with Pedestrian

NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the AEB

NOTE:
Maintenance items with “夝” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance under severe driving conditions”
(1) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(2) If using a car-top carrier or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration every 60,000 miles (96,000 km) then change CVT fluid if
necessary. And if the inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). It is recommended that you visit a
(3) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto
belt tensioner reading reaches.
(4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 60 months.
(5) Use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or distilled
water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water may reduce the life expectancy of the factory fill coolant.
(6) Periodic maintenance is not required.
(7) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increased, inspect valve clearance.
(8) Replace spark plug when the spark plug gap exceeds 1.35 mm (0.053 in) even if within specific periodic replacement mileage.
(9) Refer to “Tire rotation” under “General maintenance”.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such maintenance in
order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are required.

WHEN TRAVELING OR REGISTERING VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
IN ANOTHER COUNTRY
When planning to drive your NISSAN ve-

hicle in another country, you should first
find out if the fuel available is suitable for
your vehicle's engine.
Using fuel with an octane rating that is too
low may cause engine damage. All gaso-
line vehicles must be operated with un-
leaded gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking
your vehicle to areas where appropriate
fuel is not available.
When transferring the registration of
your vehicle to another country, state,
province or district, it may be necessary
to modify the vehicle to meet local laws LTI2050 LTI2258
and regulations.
