Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
8.26. Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) (where fitted)
The Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) system is a guidance system to support the driver when parking the vehicle. However, it does not automatically adjust speed or avoid obstacles. Just as for normal parking, always check the surroundings of the vehicle and the condition of the road surface in the mirror or directly. Move the vehicle slowly while the system is operating and brake if necessary (for example, when the vehicle is likely to come in contact with other vehicles, obstacles, people, etc.).
During IPA system operation, do not touch the spoke part of the steering wheel. Your hands and fingers might get injured. In addition, be careful with ties, scarves, etc. that can also get caught, which may lead to injuries.
Never look only at the screen while driving. The vehicle may come into contact with obstacles or cause unexpected accidents.
When the guidance of the IPA system is no longer required, select [Cancel] on the screen to end the function. If the IPA system remains in operation, the steering wheel might operate automatically, which could lead to unexpected accidents.
Before using the IPA system, make sure that there is enough space around the vehicle to manoeuvre.
The IPA system controls steering, guiding the vehicle when parking:
In a bay
Parallel to the road
The IPA system instructs you to stop, drive forwards or drive backwards. Follow the instructions given by the system.
The IPA system is not able to support parking when the vehicle speed during the parking manoeuvre is more than 7 km/h (4 MPH).
Do not use the IPA system under the following conditions:
On unpaved roads.
On snow-covered or frozen roads.
On uneven roads with slants, bumps, kerbstones, wheel tracks, etc.
At mechanical parking facilities.
When tyre chains or a spare tyre are installed.
When the vehicle is being towed.
When the doors (including the back door) are not closed.
The following conditions may reduce the ability of the system to detect other vehicles:
Severe weather.
Road spray.
Ice build up on the vehicle.
Frost on the vehicle.
Dirt on the vehicle.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the sonar sensors. These conditions may reduce the ability of the system to detect other vehicles.
The sonar sensors detect stationary objects behind the vehicle. The sonar sensors may not detect:
Small or moving objects.
Wedge-shaped objects.
Objects close to the bumper.
Thin objects such as rope, wire, or chain.
Under the following conditions, the IPA may not be able to predict precise courses and function properly. There may be instances where surrounding objects and vehicles are displayed inside the clearance guidelines (red), or where the vehicle cannot be parked in the correct spot following the IPA operation.
When the shift lever is operated while driving.
When sudden start, sudden stop or sudden operation of the shift lever occurs.
When tyre pressure is too low or a tyre is worn out.
When tyres are installed that are of a different size from the tyres that were equipped at the time of factory shipment.
When the vehicle is heavily laden.
