Work Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Always perform the ICC system action test to check that the ICC system operates normally after replacing the distance sensor (ICC sensor) or repairing any ICC system malfunction.

CAUTION:
  • Always drive safely when performing the action test.
NOTE:
  • When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.
  • When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.
  • The running speed can be set between 32 km/h (20 MPH) and 144 km/h (90 MPH).
CAUTION: Never set the cruise speed exceeding the posted speed limit.
