PRECAUTIONS FOR USING ProPILOT ASSIST 1.1

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system could result in serious injury or death.

• ProPILOT Assist 1.1 is not a self-driving system. Within the limits of its capabilities, as described in this manual, it helps the driver with certain driving activities.

• The ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not designed to correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving. ProPILOT Assist 1.1 does not always steer the Nissan Ariya vehicle to keep it in the lane. The ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system is not designed to prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the Nissan Ariya vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.

• There are limitations to the Pro- PILOT Assist system capability. The ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the Nissan Ariya vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.

• The ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a collision warning or avoidance device.

• The ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system is for highway use only and is not intended for city driving. Failure to apply the brakes or steer the Nissan Ariya vehicle when necessary may result in a serious accident.

• Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.

• Never take hands off the steering wheel when driving. Always keep hands on the steering wheel and drive the Nissan Ariya vehicle safely.

• Never unfasten the safety belt when using ProPILOT Assist 1.1. Doing so automatically cancels the ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system.

• The ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system does not react when approaching stationary and slow moving Nissan Ariya vehicles.

• Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the Nissan Ariya vehicle’s speed in emergency situations. Do not use the ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.

When the accelerator pedal is depressed and the vehicle approaches the vehicle ahead, the ICC system neither controls the brake nor warn the driver with the chime and display. The driver must manually control the Nissan Ariya vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury or death.

To prevent the vehicle from moving or rolling unexpectedly, which could result in serious personal injury or property damage, before exiting the Nissan Ariya vehicle make sure to push the Pro- PILOT Assist switch to turn the system off, push the park button to shift to the P (Park) position, and turn the engine off.

Listed below are the system limitations for the ICC system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death:

• The ICC system is primarily intended for use on highways and freeways. It is not advisable to use the ICC system in city/urban traffic.

• The ICC system does not adapt automatically to road conditions. This system should be used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not use the system on roads with sharp curves or on icy roads, in heavy rain or in fog.

• As there is a performance limit to the distance control function, never rely solely on the ICC system. This system does not correct careless, inattentive or absentminded driving or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather. Decelerate the Nissan Ariya vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the distance to the vehicle ahead and the surrounding circumstances in order to maintain a safe distance between Nissan Ariya vehicles.

• When the ICC system automatically brings the vehicle to a stop, the vehicle can automatically accelerate if the Nissan Ariya vehicle is stopped for less than approximately 3 seconds. Be prepared to stop the vehicle if necessary.

• For Nissan Ariya vehicles equipped with ProPILOT Assist 1.1 with Navi-link and only when on a limited access freeway (as identified in the navigation map data):

  • The time the Nissan Ariya vehicle can remain stopped and automatically restart is extended from 3 seconds to 30 seconds.

  • If a Nissan Ariya vehicle ahead cuts in or out of the lane ahead, the vehicle may not automatically start when the traffic ahead begins to move. The driver need to push up the RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelerator pedal to follow the Nissan Ariya vehicle directly ahead when it is safe to do so.

• Always check surroundings before restarting the Nissan Ariya vehicle.

• Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manually control the proper following distance. The ICC system may not be able to maintain the selected distance between Nissan Ariya vehicles (following distance) or selected vehicle speed under some circumstances.

• The ICC system does not detect the following objects:

  • Stationary or slow moving Nissan Ariya vehicles (when the vehicle is approaching them)

  • Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

  • Oncoming Nissan Ariya vehicles in the same lane

  • Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane

• The ICC system may not detect a Nissan Ariya vehicle ahead in certain road, weather or driving conditions. To avoid accidents, never use the ICC system under the following conditions:

  • On roads with heavy, high-speed traffic or sharp curves

  • On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.

  • On a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road

  • On steep downhill roads (the Nissan Ariya vehicle may go beyond the vehicle set speed and frequent braking may result in overheating the brakes)

  • On repeated uphill and downhill roads

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

  • When the sensor detection is reduced (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and road spray from other Nissan Ariya vehicles)

  • When dirt, ice, snow or other material adhere to the radar sensor area

  • When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper distance between Nissan Ariya vehicles because of frequent acceleration or deceleration

  • When a complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is near the Nissan Ariya vehicle ahead

  • When there is interference by other radar sources

  • When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of the Nissan Ariya vehicle

  • When towing a trailer or other vehicle

• In some road or traffic conditions, a Nissan Ariya vehicle or object can unexpectedly come into the sensor detection zone and cause automatic braking. Always stay alert and avoid using the ICC system where not recommended in this warning section.

• The ICC system also uses a multi-sensing front camera. The following are some conditions in which the camera may not properly detect a Nissan Ariya vehicle and detection of a vehicle ahead may be delayed:

  • Poor visibility (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and road spray from other Nissan Ariya vehicles)

  • The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water drops, ice, snow, etc.

  • Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming Nissan Ariya vehicles) enters the front camera

  • A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the Nissan Ariya vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning flashes)

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the Steering Assist could result in serious injury or death.

• The Steering Assist is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not designed to correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving. The Steering Assist does not always steer the Nissan Ariya vehicle to keep it in the lane. It is not designed to prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the Nissan Ariya vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.

• As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist’s capability, never rely solely on the system. The Steering Assist does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions. Always drive safely, pay attention to the operation of the Nissan Ariya vehicle, and manually control the vehicle appropriately.

• The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed highways with gentle (moderate) curves. To avoid risk of an accident, do not use this system on local or non-highway roads.

• The Steering Assist only steers the Nissan Ariya vehicle to maintain its position in the center of a lane. The vehicle does not steer to avoid objects in the road in front of the Nissan Ariya vehicle or to avoid a vehicle moving into the lane.

• It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the Nissan Ariya vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Never take hands off the steering wheel when driving. Always keep hands on the steering wheel and drive the Nissan Ariya vehicle safely.

• Always drive carefully and attentively when using the Steering Assist. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the Steering Assist. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the Nissan Ariya vehicle’s speed in emergency situations. Do not use the Steering Assist except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.

Steering Assist is not a system for a hands-free driving. Always keep hands on the steering wheel and drive the Nissan Ariya vehicle safely. Failure to do so could cause a collision resulting in serious personal injury or death.

• 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 traveling lane merges or separates

• 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 Nissan Ariya 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 Nissan Ariya vehicles

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

  • When the lens of the camera unit is foggy

  • When strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming Nissan Ariya 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 Nissan Ariya vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or is under a bridge)

  • When driving on roads where the traveling 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 does not operate properly:

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

  • When the Nissan Ariya 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 the Nissan Ariya vehicle

  • When the vehicle load capacity is exceeded

  • When towing a trailer or other Nissan Ariya vehicle

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

• For the ProPILOT Assist 1.1 system to operate properly, the windshield 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 windshield is kept clean. Only use Genuine NISSAN wiper blades, or equivalent wiper blades, that are specifically designed for use on the Nissan Ariya vehicle model and model year.

• In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, a warning chime does not sound to warn the driver if you are too close to the Nissan Ariya vehicle ahead, as neither the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected.

• Pay special attention to the distance between the Nissan Ariya vehicle and the vehicle ahead or a collision could occur.

• Always confirm the setting in the ICC system display.

• Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode when driving under the following conditions:

  • When it is not possible to keep the Nissan Ariya vehicle at a set speed

  • In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed

  • On winding or hilly roads

  • On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)

  • In very windy areas

• Doing so could cause a loss of Nissan Ariya vehicle control and result in an accident.

To avoid accidentally engaging cruise control, make sure to turn the ProPILOT Assist switch off when not using the ICC system.
