image
  • In the following situations, the camera may not detect lane markers correctly or may detect lane markers incorrectly and the Steering Assist may not operate properly:

    • When driving on roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers, lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly, non-standard lane markers, or lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.

    • When driving on roads with discontinued lane markers

    • When driving on roads with a widening or narrowing lane width

    • When driving on roads where there are multiple lanes or unclear lane markers due to road construction

    • When driving on roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams, or lines remaining after road repairs (the Steering Assist could detect these items as lane markers)

    • When driving on roads where the travelling lane merges or separates

    • Where the lanes are too narrow or too wide

  • Do not use the Steering Assist under the following conditions because the system may not properly detect lane markers. Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in an accident.

    • During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, dust, etc.)

    • When rain, snow, sand, etc., is thrown up by the wheels of other vehicles

    • When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or another object adheres to the camera unit

    • When the glass in front or the lens of the camera unit is foggy

    • When strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) shines on the camera

    • When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or the headlights are off in tunnels or darkness

    • When a sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or is under a bridge)

    • When driving on roads where the travelling lane merges or separates or where there are temporary lane markers because of road construction

    • When there is a lane closure due to road repairs

    • When driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road

    • When driving on sharp curves or winding roads

    • When driving on repeated uphill and downhill roads

  • Do not use the Steering Assist under the following conditions because the system will not operate properly:

    • When driving with a tyre that is not within normal tyre conditions (for example, tyre wear, abnormal tyre pressure, tyre chains, non-standard wheels)

    • When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake or suspension parts

    • When an object such as a sticker or cargo obstructs the camera

    • When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or luggage area of your vehicle

    • When the vehicle load capacity is exceeded

    • When towing a trailer or other vehicle

  • Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the beep may not be heard.

  • For the ProPILOT Assist system to operate properly, the windscreen in front of the camera must be clean. Replace worn wiper blades. The correct size wiper blades must be used to help make sure the windscreen is kept clean. Only use Genuine NISSAN wiper blades, or equivalent wiper blades, that are specifically designed for use on your vehicle model and model year. It is recommended that you visit your NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer for the correct parts for your vehicle.
