Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual

8.22.1. Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system operation

If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system will firstly provide the warning to the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead detection indicator (yellow) in the vehicle information display and providing an audible alert, and causing the brake system to pulse (quickly partially apply). In addition, the system applies partial braking.

If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully , but the system detects that there is still the possibility of a forward collision, the system will automatically increase the braking force.

If the driver does not take action, the Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system issues the second visual warning (flashing red and white) and audible warning. Then the system applies partial braking when the condition to do so is satisfied.

If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system applies harder braking automatically.

The Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system will function when your vehicle is driven at speeds above approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH).

For the pedestrian and cyclists detection function (where fitted), the Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system operates at speeds between 10 - 80 km/h (6 - 50 MPH).

Junction assist (where fitted) operates at your vehicle speeds between 10 - 25 km/h (6 – 16 MPH).

When turning left or right, the turn signal must be activated to ensure that oncoming vehicles can be detected by junction assist.

  • The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking is performed by the Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system.

  • When the Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system detects an obstacle in the path of the vehicle and displays the Intelligent Emergency Braking warning, a noise may be heard from the engine compartment as the vehicle primes the brakes to improve response time.

Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclists ahead, as well as driving and roadway conditions, the system may help the driver avoid a forward collision or may help mitigate the consequences of a collision should one be unavoidable.

If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accelerating or braking, the Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system will function later or will not function.

The automatic braking will cease under the following conditions:

  • When the steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to avoid a collision.

  • When the accelerator pedal is depressed.

  • When there is no longer a vehicle, pedestrian detected ahead.

If the Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection system has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.

When the brake pedal is depressed while the brake is applied by the system, you may feel the pedal effort is changed and may hear a sound and vibration noise. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. In addition, the braking force can be increased by adding the pedal effort.
