Cruise Control (where fitted)
NOTE:
If your vehicle is fitted with Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and steering assist or ProPILOT Assist, refer to the dedicated section later in this manual for information on Cruise Control.
- ICC: See “Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and Steering Assist (where fitted) (on Manual Transmission vehicles)” (P.306).
- ProPILOT Assist: See “ProPILOT Assist (where fitted)” (P.335).
The cruise control system allows driving at constant speeds without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
- The cruise control system ONLY maintains a constant vehicle speed; it does not replace the driver.
- Always observe the posted speed limits and do not set the speed above them.
- Do not use the cruise control system when driving under the following conditions. Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in an accident:
- When it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a constant speed
- When driving in heavy traffic
- When driving in traffic that varies speed
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving on winding or hilly roads
- When driving on slippery (rain, snow, ice, etc.) roads
CAUTION
On manual transmission models, do not shift into N (Neutral) without depressing the clutch pedal when the cruise control is set. Should this occur, depress the clutch pedal and turn the cruise control main switch off immediately. Failure to do so may cause engine damage.
When the cruise control system is on, the speed limiter cannot be operated.
The cruise control system operation switches are located on the right side of the steering wheel. The cruise control system operating condition is shown in the vehicle information display.
Precautions on Cruise Control
- The cruise control system will be automatically cancelled when there is a malfunction. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
- To properly set the cruise control system, perform the steps as described in “Setting a cruising speed” (P.287).
Cruise Control System Operations
- <CANCEL> switch
- <RES+> (Resume) switch
- <SET–> switch
- Speed limiter main “ON/OFF” switch
- Cruise control main “ON/OFF” switch
Turning the Cruise Control System On
Push the cruise control main switch. The cruise control symbol appears together with a blank set speed value [———] at the top of the vehicle information display.
Setting a Cruising Speed
- Accelerate to the desired cruising speed.
- Push the <SET–> switch down and release it.
- The cruise control symbol changes to green with the set speed value (desired cruising speed) shown at the top of the vehicle information display.
- Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will maintain the set speed.
If the vehicle speed is less than the minimum set speed, it will not be possible to set the cruise control system.
Changing a Cruising Speed
Use any one of the following methods to change the cruising speed:
- Slow the vehicle using the brake pedal. When the desired speed is reached, push down and release the <SET–> switch.
- Press the accelerator pedal. When the desired speed is reached, push down and release the <SET–> switch.
- Push up and release the <RES+> switch to increase, or push down and release the <SET–> switch to decrease the set speed in steps of 1 km/h (1 MPH).
- Push and hold the <RES+> switch or the <SET–> switch to continuously change the speed.
Passing Another Vehicle
Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate. After releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the previously set speed. The set speed value will flash until the vehicle returns to the previously set speed.
Cancelling the Cruise Control System
To cancel a set speed, push the <CANCEL> switch. The cruise control symbol and the set speed value will turn grey.
The system will also cancel automatically when:
- The brake pedal is pressed.
- The clutch pedal is pressed.
- The transmission is shifted to N (Neutral).
- The vehicle slows down approximately 12 km/h (8 MPH) below the set speed.
Resuming a Previous Cruising Speed
If the cruising speed has been cancelled, the last set speed value will be stored in memory and displayed in grey. Press the <RES+> (Resume) switch to reactivate it.
If the vehicle speed is less than the minimum set speed, it will not be possible to resume the cruising speed.
Turning Off the Cruise Control System
The cruise control system will be turned off when one of the following operations is performed:
- Push the cruise control main “ON/OFF” switch. The cruise control symbol and set speed value will turn off.
- Push the speed limiter main “ON/OFF” switch. The display will switch to speed limiter information.
- When the vehicle is stopped and the ignition is switched OFF.
Turning off the cruise control system will erase the cruise control system memory.
