WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Always check surroundings and turn to check what is behind you before backing up. The radar sensors detect approaching (moving) vehicles. The radar sensors cannot detect every object such as:
- Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child operated toy vehicles.
- A vehicle that passing at speeds greater than approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).
- A vehicle that passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
- The radar sensors may not detect approaching vehicles in certain situations:
- When the vehicle that is parked next to you obstructs the beam of the radar sensor.
- When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.
- When the vehicle is parked on an incline.
- When an approaching vehicle turns into your vehicle's parking lot isle.
- When the angle formed by your vehicle is too small.
- The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles:
- Severe weather
- Road spray
- Ice build-up on the vehicle
- Frost on the vehicle
- Dirt build-up on the vehicle
- Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors. These conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
- Do not use RCTA system when towing a trailer.
- Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume or open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
