WARNING

2. L’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter

tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,

même si le brouillage est susceptible

d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Failure to follow the warnings and in-

structions for proper use of the RAB

system could result in serious injury or

death.

The RAB system is a supplemental

aid to the driver. It is not a replace-

ment for proper driving procedures.

Always use the side and rear mirrors

and turn and look in the direction you

will move before and while backing

up. Never rely solely on the RAB sys-

tem. It is the driver’s responsibility to

stay alert, drive safely, and be in con-

trol of the vehicle at all times.

This equipment complies with FCC and IC

radiation exposure limits set forth for an

uncontrolled environment.

This equipment should be installed and

operated with minimum distance of 30

cm between the radiator and your body.

This transmitter must not be co-located

or operating in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter.

NOTE:

The RAB system can assist the driver when

the vehicle is backing up and approaching

objects directly behind the vehicle.

You can temporarily cancel the sonar

function in the vehicle, but the RAB sys-

tem will continue to operate. For addi-

tional information, please refer to “Rear

Sonar System” in this section.

Cet équipement doit être installé et

utilisé avec un minimum de 30 cm de

distance entre la source de rayonnement

et votre corps.

FCC Notice

Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s author-

ity to operate the equipment.

5-134 Starting and driving

If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is

detected when your vehicle is backing up,

the RAB system warning indicator will flash

in the vehicle information display, a red

frame will appear in the center display (for

vehicles with the Intelligent Around View

Monitor system), and the system will chime

three times. The system will then auto-

matically apply the brakes. After the auto-

matic brake application, the driver must

depress the brake pedal to maintain brake

pressure.

NOTE:

• The brake lights of the vehicle come on

when braking is performed by the RAB

system.

• When the brakes operate, a noise may

be heard. This is not a malfunction.

RAB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

•

Always check your surroundings and

turn to check what is behind you be-

fore and while backing up. The RAB

system detects stationary objects

behind the vehicle. The RAB system

does not detect the following ob-

jects:

•

The RAB system may not operate in

the following conditions:

–

There is rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc.,

attached to the sonar sensors.

Listed below are the system limitations

for the RAB system. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions for proper

use of the RAB system could result in

serious injury or death.

A loud sound is heard in the area

around the vehicle.

The surface of the obstacle is di-

agonal to the rear of the vehicle.

–

Moving objects

Low objects

•

When the vehicle approaches an ob-

stacle while the accelerator or brake

pedal is depressed, the function may

not operate or the start of operation

may be delayed. The RAB system

may not operate or may not perform

sufficiently due to vehicle conditions,

driving conditions, the traffic envi-

ronment, the weather, road surface

conditions, etc. Do not wait for the

system to operate. Operate the brake

pedal by yourself as soon as

necessary.

•

The RAB system may unintentionally

operate in the following conditions:

Narrow objects

Wedge-shaped objects

–

There is overgrown grass in the

area around the vehicle.

Objects close to the bumper (less

than approximately 1 ft [30 cm])

–

There is a structure (e.g., a wall, toll

gate equipment, a narrow tunnel,

a parking lot gate) near the side of

the vehicle.

–

Objects that suddenly appear

Thin objects such as rope, wire,

chain, etc.

–

There are bumps, protrusions, or

manhole covers on the road

surface.

•

The RAB system may not operate for

the following obstacles:

–

Obstacles located high off the

ground

–

The vehicle drives through

draped flag or a curtain.

a

•

If it is necessary to override RAB op-

eration, strongly press the accelera-

tor pedal.

Obstacles in a position offset from

your vehicle

There is an accumulation of snow

or ice behind the vehicle.

Obstacles, such as spongy materi-

als or snow, that have soft outer

surfaces and can easily absorb a

sound wave

An ultrasonic wave source, such as

another vehicle’s sonar, is near

the vehicle.

Starting and driving 5-137

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

•

Once the automatic brake control

operates, it does not operate again if

the vehicle approaches the same

obstacle.

–

The braking force becomes poor

due to wet brakes after driving

through a puddle or washing the

vehicle.

If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be

turned off automatically, the RAB system

warning light will illuminate, and the “Mal-

function: See Owner’s Manual” warning

message will appear in the vehicle infor-

mation display.

The automatic brake control can only

operate for a short period of time.

Therefore, the driver must depress

the brake pedal.

•

Turn the RAB system off in the follow-

ing conditions to prevent the occur-

rence of an unexpected accident re-

sulting

Action to take

In the following situations, the RAB

system may not operate properly or

may not function sufficiently:

If the warning light illuminates, park the ve-

hicle in a safe location, turn the EV system

off, and restart the EV system. If the warn-

ing light continues to illuminate, have the

RAB system checked. It is recommended

that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer

for this service.

The vehicle is towed.

The vehicle is carried on a flatbed

truck.

–

The vehicle is driven in bad

weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).

–

The vehicle is on the chassis

dynamometer.

The vehicle is driven on a steep

hill.

The vehicle drives on an uneven

(e.g., when driving over a bump).

NOTE:

Suspension parts other than

those designated as Genuine

NISSAN parts are used. (If the ve-

hicle height or the vehicle body in-

clination is changed, the system

may not detect an obstacle

correctly.)

If the RAB system cannot be operated

temporarily, the RAB system warning

light blinks.

The vehicle is driven on a slippery

road.

The vehicle is turned sharply by

turning the steering wheel fully.

–

Snow chains are used.

Wheels or tires other than NISSAN

recommended are used.

•

Excessive noise (e.g., audio system

interfere with the chime sound, and it

may not be heard.

–

The brakes are cold at low ambi-

ent temperatures or immediately

after driving has started.
