Nissan Qashqai 2024 Owners Manual
7.19.3. BSW system precaution
The radar sensors may not be able to detect and activate BSW when certain objects are present such as:
Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clearance vehicles.
Oncoming vehicles.
Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop.
A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as your vehicle.
A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
See
for the situations in which the radar sensors may not be able to detect vehicle(s).
The BSW system may not provide a warning or brake control for vehicles that pass the detection zone quickly.
The radar sensors detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the radar sensors may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects, however objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal operating condition.
Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
Excessive noise (for example, audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
