WARNING

The following points describe important limitations of the I-FCW system on your Nissan Rogue. Failure to drive in accordance with these limitations could result in serious injury or death.

• The I-FCW system cannot detect every vehicle in all driving situations.
• The radar sensor does not detect the following objects:
  • Pedestrians, animals or stationary obstacles in the roadway
  • Oncoming vehicles
  • Vehicles crossing your path
• (Illustration A) The I-FCW system may not operate when the vehicle ahead is narrow, such as a motorcycle.
• The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle ahead under the following conditions:
  • Snow or heavy rain
  • Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering the radar sensor
  • Interference from other radar sources
  • Snow or road spray from surrounding traffic
  • Driving through a tunnel
  • Towing a trailer
• (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is being towed.
• (Illustration C) When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too short and the radar sensor beam is blocked.
• (Illustration D) When driving on steep downhill grades or on roads with sharp curves.
• The system is designed to automatically check the radar sensor’s operation, within certain limits. However, it may not detect some types of obstruction on the sensor area, such as ice, snow or stickers. In these situations, the system may not be able to provide an appropriate warning to the driver.

  Make sure you inspect, clean and keep the sensor area clear on a regular basis.

• Excessive noise inside the vehicle can interfere with the warning chime, and you may not hear it.

When driving your Nissan Rogue on certain types of roads, such as winding, hilly, sharply curved, narrow roads, or on roads under construction, the radar sensor may detect vehicles in another lane, or may temporarily fail to detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This can cause the I-FCW system to operate inappropriately.

The detection of vehicles by your Nissan Rogue may also be influenced by the way you drive (steering input, lane position, etc.) or by the vehicle’s condition. When this happens, the system may warn you unexpectedly by blinking the vehicle-ahead indicator and sounding the chime.

In all situations, you must manually maintain a safe distance from the vehicle traveling ahead.
