Precautions on cruise control

● If the cruise control system malfunctions, it cancels automatically. The SET indicator light in the instrument panel then blinks to warn the driver.

● If the SET indicator light blinks, turn the cruise control switch off and have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

● The SET indicator light may blink when the cruise control switch is turned ON while pushing the ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, or CANCEL switch. To properly set the cruise control system, use the following procedures.

WARNING

Do not use the cruise control when driving under the following conditions:
● When it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed.
● In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed.
● On winding or hilly roads.
● On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.).
● In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in an accident.
