APPROACH WARNING DISPLAY

If own Nissan Sentra vehicle comes closer to a vehicle ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver with the chime and ICC system display. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe Nissan Sentra vehicle distance if:

The chime sounds.
The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks in orange.

The warning chime may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between Nissan Sentra vehicles. Some examples are:

When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between Nissan Sentra vehicles is not changing.
When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster and the distance between Nissan Sentra vehicles is increasing.
When a vehicle cuts in at near own vehicle.

The warning chime will not sound when own Nissan Sentra vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.

The warning chime will not sound when the accelerator pedal is depressed, overriding the system.

The approach warning chime may sound and the system display may blink when the distance sensor detects some reflectors which are fitted on Nissan Sentra vehicles in other lanes or on the side of the road.

This may cause the ICC system to decelerate or accelerate the Nissan Sentra vehicle.

The distance sensor may detect these objects when the vehicle is driven on winding roads, hilly roads or when entering or exiting a curve.

The distance sensor may also detect reflectors on narrow roads or in road construction zones.

In these cases, driver will have to manually control the proper distance ahead of own Nissan Sentra vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving position in the lane) or traffic or Nissan Sentra vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage).
