System Maintenance
The sensor is located at the front of the vehicle. To keep the system operating properly, be sure to observe the following:
- Always keep the sensor area clean.
- Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensor.
- Do not cover or attach stickers or similar objects near the sensor area. This could cause failure or malfunction.
- Do not attach metallic objects near the sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This could cause failure or malfunction.
- Do not alter, remove, or paint the front of the vehicle near the sensor area. Before customising or restoring the sensor area, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) System (where fitted)
WARNING
- Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the IEB system could result in serious injury or death.
- The IEB system is a supplemental aid to the driver. It is not a replacement for the driver’s attention to traffic conditions or responsibility to drive safely. It cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness or dangerous driving techniques.
- The IEB system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions.
Types of IEB
There are three types of IEB available, depending on the vehicle specification:
- Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB)
- Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) with Pedestrian Detection
- Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection and Junction Support
System Capabilities
Depending on the specification of the IEB system fitted to your vehicle, it can assist the driver when there is a risk of forward collision with:
- A vehicle ahead in the travelling lane.
- A pedestrian ahead in the travelling lane (where Pedestrian Detection is fitted).
- A cyclist ahead in the travelling lane (where Cyclist Detection is fitted).
Junction Assist (where fitted) can assist the driver when there is a risk of forward collision:
- When turning right or left and crossing the path of an oncoming vehicle.
- When turning right or left and a pedestrian is detected ahead and is expected to enter your vehicle’s path.
System Operation
The IEB system uses a radar sensor located at the front of the vehicle and a camera installed behind the windscreen to measure the distance to vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead in the same lane (where detection is fitted).
NOTE:
- The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking is performed by the IEB system.
- When the IEB system detects an obstacle and displays a warning, a noise may be heard from the engine bay as the vehicle primes the brakes to improve response time.
Depending on vehicle speed, distance to the object ahead, and driving or roadway conditions, the system may help avoid a forward collision or help reduce the impact if a collision is unavoidable. If the driver is steering, accelerating, or braking, the IEB system may function later or may not function.
If the IEB system has stopped the vehicle, it will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.
If the brake pedal is pressed while the system is applying brakes, you may feel a change in pedal effort, hear a sound, or feel vibration. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Braking force can be increased by pressing the pedal harder.
Automatic Braking Will Cease When:
- The steering wheel is turned sufficiently to avoid a collision.
- No vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist is detected ahead.
- The accelerator pedal is depressed.
