< PRECAUTION > [WITH VDC]

PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000006228174

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. D
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING: E
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
BRC
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the “SRS AIR BAG”.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this G
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS H
WARNING:
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) I
with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly
causing serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the J
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

pressed air.
• Brake fluid use refer to MA-10, "Fluids and Lubricants".
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off
immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
• Always confirm the specified tightening torque when installing the brake pipes.
• After pressing the brake pedal more deeply or harder than normal driving, such as air bleeding, check each
item of brake pedal. Adjust brake pedal if it is outside the standard value.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
• Always loosen the brake tube flare nut with a flare nut wrench.
• Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a crow-
foot (A) and torque wrench (B).
• Always connect the battery terminal when moving the vehicle.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit) harness connector or the battery negative
terminal before performing the work.
• Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing the
parts.

JPFIA0001ZZ

Precaution for Brake Control System INFOID:0000000006222557

• Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when VDC function, TCS func-
tion, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function
operates. This is not a malfunction because it is caused by VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD
function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function that is normally operated.
• When starting engine or when starting vehicle just after starting engine, brake pedal may vibrate or motor
operating noise may be heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.
• Brake stopping distance may become longer than models without ABS function depending on the road con-
ditions, when ABS function is operated on slippery road like rough road, gravel road or snowy road.
• When a malfunction is indicated, always collect information from the customer about conditions of occur-
rence, estimate cause and perform operation. Check brake booster operation, brake fluid level and brake
fluid leakage, as well as electrical system.
• The optimum performance is achieved by control for VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD func-
tion, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function when all of brakes, suspensions

PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [WITH VDC]
and tires installed on the vehicle are the specified size and parts. Brake performance and controllability may
be negatively affected when other parts than the specified are installed. A
• Brake stopping distance may become longer and steering stability may be negatively affected, when tires in
different size and combination or other parts than the specified are used.
• When a radio (including wiring), antenna and antenna lead line are located near ABS actuator and electric
B
unit (control unit), a malfunction or improper operation may occur for the control of VDC function, TCS func-
tion, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function.
• When the following items are replaced by other parts than genuine parts or modified, ABS warning lamp,
brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, and the control may not operate normally for VDC C
function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function.
- Suspension component parts (shock absorber, spring, bushing and others) D
- Tire and wheel (other than the specified size)
- Brake component parts (brake pad, disc rotor, brake caliper and others)
- Engine component parts (ECM, muffler and others)
- Body reinforcement component parts (rollover bar, tower bar and others) E
• When suspension, tire and brake component parts are excessively worn or deteriorated and the vehicle is
driven, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, and the control may
not operate normally for VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function or BRC
brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function.
• ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, when only front wheel or rear
wheel is rotated using a free roller. This is not a malfunction, because it is caused by wheel speed difference
between wheel that is rotated and wheel that is not rotated. In this case, perform self-diagnosis, check self- G
diagnosis results, and erase memory.
• When power supply voltage is not normal, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp
turn ON. ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) stops control for VDC function, TCS function, ABS func- H
tion, EBD function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. Ordinary brake
operates. After power supply returns to normal, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning
lamp turn OFF. The control becomes operative for VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function,
hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. I
• VDC warning lamp may turn ON and VDC function or TCS function may not normally operate, when driving
on a special road the is extremely slanted (bank in a circuit course). This is not a malfunction if the status
returns to normal for VDC function or TCS function after the engine is started again. In this case, perform J
self-diagnosis, check self-diagnosis results, and erase memory.
• A malfunction in yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system may be detected when the vehicle sharply turns dur-
ing a spin turn, acceleration turn or drift driving while VDC function or TCS function are OFF (VDC OFF
switch is pressed and VDC OFF indicator lamp is in ON status). This is not a malfunction if the status returns K
to normal for VDC function or TCS function after the engine is started again. In this case, perform self-diag-
nosis, check self-diagnosis results, and erase memory

• The system switches fluid pressure of each brake caliper to increase, to hold or to decrease according to
signals from control unit in ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). This control system is applied to
VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function and brake limited slip dif-
ferential (BLSD) function
• Fail-safe function is available for each function and is activated by each function when system malfunction
occurs.
• The adoption of the 4WD switch assembly (4WD shift switch and VDC OFF switch) enables to change the
control characteristics of the VDC function, the TCS function and the brake limited slip differential (BLSD)
function into an optimal characteristics, based on a state of the 4WD shift switch. (Models with 4WD system)

The VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp turns ON and DTC “C118E” may be
detected in self-diagnosis result of “ABS” when the brake pedal is excessively operated, such as air bleeding.
This is not a system malfunction because this occurs due to the temporary decrease in accumulator fluid pres-
sure. The system returns to normal condition when the accumulator fluid pressure reaches the specified pres-
sure with the ignition switch ON and the VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp, and brake warning lamp turn
OFF. After these steps, erase self-diagnosis results for “ABS” with CONSULT-III.

ever, ABS function and EBD function are operated normally.
ABS FUNCTION
ABS warning lamp and VDC warning lamp in combination meter turn ON when a malfunction occurs in system
[ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]. The control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, ABS
function, hill start assist function and brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. The vehicle status
becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, hill start assist function and
brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. However, EBD function is operated normally.
NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard the same as in the normal condition, because self-diagnosis is per-
formed when ignition switch turns ON and when vehicle initially starts.
EBD FUNCTION
ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp in combination meter turn ON when a mal-
function occurs in system [ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]. The control is suspended for VDC
function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function and brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, ABS

The VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp turns ON and DTC “C118E” may be
detected in self-diagnosis result of “ABS” when the brake pedal is excessively operated, such as air bleeding.
This is not a system malfunction because this occurs due to the temporary decrease in accumulator fluid pres-
sure. The system returns to normal condition when the accumulator fluid pressure reaches the specified pres-
sure with the ignition switch ON and the VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp, and brake warning lamp turn
OFF. After these steps, erase self-diagnosis results for “ABS” with CONSULT-III.

SYSTEM
A
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION)
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION) : System Description INFOID:0000000006228293
B
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
When the Preview Function identifies the need to apply emergency braking by sensing a vehicle ahead in the
same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before the driver C
depress the brake pedal and helps improve brake response by reducing pedal free play.
The Preview Function shares component parts and diagnosis with the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system.
CAUTION: D
This system is only an aid to assist braking operation and is not a collision warning or avoidance
device. It is the driver′s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
E
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
• The system detects the distance to the vehicle in front with the ICC sensor of ICC and judges the necessity
of emergency braking.
BRC
• The system detects the accelerator pedal release operation of the driver by the accelerator pedal position
sensor and estimates the driver's brake operation intention.
• If the system is judged that the emergency braking is necessary and that the driver has the intention to oper-
ate the brake, the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) applies pre-pressure to reduce brake pedal G
play.
NOTE:
This system will not operate under the following conditions: H
• When the vehicle is moving at approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH) or less.
• When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H or 4L position.
END OF OPERATION I
The pre-pressure function ceases when the following conditions are met:
1. When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
2. If the driver does not operate the accelerator pedal or brake pedal within approximately 1 second.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PREVIEW FUNCTION


• This system is only an aid to assist braking operation and is not a collision warning or avoidance device. It is C
the driver′s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• As there is a performance limit to the Preview Function, never rely solely on this system. This system does
not correct careless inattentive or absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Reduce vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, in order to maintain a safe distance between D
vehicles.
• The system may not detect a vehicle ahead, depending on road or weather conditions. While the vehicle still
travels and the Brake Assist System operates under normal conditions, the Preview Function may operate E
improperly under the following conditions:
- When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
- When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle
- Winding or hilly roads may cause the sensor to temporarily not detect a vehicle in the same lane or may BRC
detect objects or vehicles in other lanes.
- Vehicle position in the lane may cause the sensor to temporarily not detect a vehicle in the same lane or may
detect objects or vehicles in other lanes. G
• The system will not detect:
- Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
H
- Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane as illustrated
• When the Preview Function operates, the brake pedal may move
slightly and may make a small noise. This is not a system malfunc-
tion. I

SYSTEM
INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST
INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST : System Description INFOID:0000000006228299

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system warns the driver by a vehicle ahead detection indicator and chime when
there is a risk of a collision with the vehicle ahead in the traveling lane and the driver must take avoidance
action immediately. The system helps reduce the rear-end collision speed by applying the brakes when it
judges a collision can not be avoided.
CAUTION:
The IBA system is a not collision avoidance system. It is the driver′s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times. As there is a performance limit, it may not provide a
warning or brake in certain conditions.
NOTE:
• The IBA system shares component parts and diagnosis with the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system.
New parts added to the IBA system is the IBA OFF indicator lamp in the combination meter and the IBA OFF
switch on the instrument driver lower panel.
• The ICC sensor integrated unit shares the parts with the ICC, but the IBA system will operate even when the
ICC system is turned to OFF.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The IBA system uses an ICC sensor located below the front bumper to measure the distance to a vehicle
ahead. When the system judges that the distance gets shorter, the vehicle ahead detection indicator on the
combination meter blinks and the warning chime sounds.
To turn the system OFF/ON, push and hold the IBA OFF switch after starting the engine for more than 1 sec-
ond.
NOTE:
• The system ON/OFF condition will be memorized even if the ignition switch turns OFF.
• The IBA system operates under the following conditions.
- The IBA system will function when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 15 km/h (10 MPH) and
above, and when the vehicle′s speed is approximately 15 km/h (10 MPH) faster than that of the vehicle
ahead.

PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST B


• The IBA system is a not collision avoidance system. It is the driver′s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• As there is a performance limit, it may not provide a warning or brake in certain conditions. C
• The system will not detect the following objects:
- Pedestrians, animals, or obstacles in the roadway
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• The system will not detect under the following conditions: D
- When the sensor gets dirty and it is impossible to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.
- When driving into a strong light (i.e. sunlight)
• The sensor generally detects the signals returned from the reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, the sys- E
tem may not function properly under the following conditions:
- When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead are positioned high or close each other (including a small vehicle
such as motorcycles).
- When the sensor gets dirty or and it is impossible to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead. BRC
- When the reflectors on the vehicle ahead is missing, damaged or covered.
- When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is covered with dirt, snow and road spray.
- When visibility is low (such as rain, fog, snow, etc.). G
- When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles are raised up.
- When dense exhaust or other smoke (black smoke) from vehicles reduces the sensor visibility.
- When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the luggage room of vehicle.
H
- When abruptly accelerating or decelerating.
- On steep downhill or roads with sharp curves.
- When there is a highly reflective object near the vehicle ahead (i.e. very close to other vehicle, signboard,
etc.). I
- While towing a trailer or other vehicle.
• Depending on certain road conditions (curved, beginning of a curve), vehicle conditions (steering position,
vehicle position), or preceding vehicle′s conditions (position in lane, etc.), the system may not function prop-
J
erly.
• The system may not function in offset conditions.
• The system may not function when the distance to the vehicle ahead is extremely close.
• The system detect highly reflective objects such as reflectors, K
signs, white markers, and other stationary objects on the road or
near the traveling lane, and when in extreme conditions, detection
of these objects may cause the system to function. L
• The system is designed to automatically check the sensor′s func-
tionality. If the sensor is covered with ice, a transparent or translu-
cent plastic bag, etc., the system may not detect them. In these
instances the system may not be able to warn properly. Be sure to M
check and clean the sensor regularly.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard. N
JSFIA0385ZZ
• Never step in under the brake pedal to avoid an accident when IBA
system turns ON.
• Sudden appearance of the vehicle in front (i.e. it abruptly cuts in) may not be detected and the system may
not warn soon enough. O
• The system will be cancelled automatically with a beep sound and the IBA OFF indicator lamp will illuminate
under the following conditions:
- When the sensor window is dirty P
- When the system malfunctions
