SERVICE INFORMATION
This bulletin is provided as supplemental information to aid in assisting the customer and
servicing a vehicle with customer-reported FCW (Forward Collision Warning) system
questions or issues.

FIRST: Before proceeding to diagnostic and repair information in the Electronic
Service Manual (ESM), make sure to review all of the FCW information in the
Owner’s Manual with the customer to determine whether the customer-reported
operation of the system is consistent with a properly functioning FCW.
 Do not attempt to test the operation of the FCW system by driving the
vehicle. Driving situations in which the FCW is designed to activate are
unsafe.

If after reviewing the Owner’s Manual, it is determined that the FCW may not be
operating as designed, follow the diagnostic and repair information in the Electronic
Service Manual (ESM), section DAS-Driver Assistance Systems, for any confirmed
issues.
The information on pages 2 and 3 lists items that may have an effect on the operation of
the FCW system.
Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.
