Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
8.20.3.9. Acceleration when overtaking (where fitted)
The acceleration when overtaking feature is only available for certain countries and for certain vehicle grades.
Overtaking on the left-hand side (for countries where traffic travels on the right hand side of the road):
When the ICC system is engaged above 70 km/h (44 MPH) and following a slower vehicle (below ICC set speed), and the turn signal is activated to the left, the ICC system will automatically start to accelerate the vehicle to help initiate overtaking on the left and will begin to reduce the distance to vehicle directly ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates this feature. As the driver steers the vehicle and moves into the overtaking lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC system will continue to accelerate to the ICC system set speed.
If another vehicle is detected ahead, then the vehicle will accelerate up to the following speed of that vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the left lane to overtake, the acceleration will stop after a short time and regain the set following distance.
Acceleration can be stopped at any point by depressing the brake pedal or the <CANCEL> switch on the steering wheel.
Overtaking on the right-hand side (for countries where traffic travels on the left hand side of the road):
When the ICC system is engaged above 70 km/h (44 MPH) and following a slower vehicle (below ICC set speed), and the turn signal is activated to the right, the ICC system will automatically start to accelerate the vehicle to help initiate overtaking on the right and will begin to reduce the distance to vehicle directly ahead. Only the right side turn signal operates this feature. As the driver steers the vehicle and moves into the overtaking lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC system will continue to accelerate to the ICC system set speed.
If another vehicle is detected ahead, then the vehicle will accelerate up to the following speed of that vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the right lane to overtake, the acceleration will stop after a short time and regain the set following distance.
Acceleration can be stopped at any point by depressing the brake pedal or the <CANCEL> switch on the steering wheel.
In order to reduce the risk of a collision that may result in serious injury or death, please be aware of the following:
This function is only activated with the left or right turn signal and will briefly accelerate the vehicle even if a lane change is not initiated. This can include non-overtaking situations such as left or right side exits.
Ensure that when overtaking another vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear before initiating the overtaking manoeuvre. Sudden changes in traffic may occur while overtaking. Always manually steer or brake as needed never solely rely on the system.
