PRECAUTIONS FOR USING ProPILOT ASSIST 2.1

• Failure to follow the following warnings and instructions for proper use of the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems, as applicable, could result in an accident causing serious injury or death.

• Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the systems to prevent accidents or to control the Nissan Ariya vehicle’s speed in emergency situations.

• Do not use the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.

• The ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems are for limited access freeway use only and are not intended for city driving.

• The ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems are not self-driving systems. Within the limits of their capabilities, as described in this manual, they help the driver with certain driving activities.

• The ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems are not replacements for proper driving procedures and will not correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving. Regardless of which system or function is being used, it is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the Nissan Ariya vehicle at all times. Failure to apply the brakes or steer the vehicle when necessary may result in a serious accident.

• The ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems are only aids to assist the driver and are not collision warning or avoidance devices.

• There are limitations to the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems’ capabilities. Never rely solely on these systems. The ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems do not function in all driving, traffic, weather and road conditions.

• Never unfasten your safety seat belt when using the ProPILOT Assist 2.1. Doing so automatically cancels the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems.

• When using the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems, always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.

• When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems will not provide automatic braking and/or the approach warning. 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.

• Do not rely on the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 systems to prevent accidents. The driver must maintain a safe distance to the Nissan Ariya vehicle ahead by braking or accelerating, depending on the surrounding circumstances.

• When using Steering Assist, 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 your hands off the steering wheel while driving unless the driving conditions allow and the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 system is in Hands Off mode. Keep your hands on the steering wheel and drive the Nissan Ariya vehicle safely.

• Steering Assist is intended for use on limited access freeways with gentle (moderate) curves. To avoid risk of an accident, do not use this system on local or nonhighway/freeway roads.

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

• Lane Change Assist, and Passing Assist only assist the driver to make a lane change. These systems do not steer the Nissan Ariya vehicle to avoid a collision. Be sure to keep your hands on the steering wheel and move safely to a different lane.

• When using conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, a warning chime does not sound to warn you 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 own 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 (doing so could cause a loss of Nissan Ariya vehicle control and result in an accident):

  • When it is not possible to keep the 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

If an improper repair is performed on the bumper (for example, application of putty made from different materials, repaint, etc.) the radar signal could be weakened or prevented from functioning properly. This may cause the radar sensor not to detect objects correctly. Improper repair may result in serious personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the bumper, it is recommended to visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

• These systems are primarily intended for use on freeways. It is not advisable to use these systems in city/urban traffic.

• These systems will not adapt automatically to all road conditions. They should be used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not use these systems on roads with sharp curves or in inclement weather or adverse road conditions.

• There are performance limits to all ProPILOT Assist 2.1 functions. Never rely solely on these systems. These systems do not correct careless, inattentive, or absent-minded driving or overcome poor visibility in inclement weather.

• When using these systems, the driver must be attentive to the driving task. When necessary, decelerate the Nissan Ariya vehicle speed by using the brake pedal, accelerate using the accelerator pedal, and steer the vehicle as appropriate in order to maintain a safe distance between Nissan Ariya vehicles and manage changing or dynamic traffic, vehicle and roadway conditions.

• When the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 function automatically brings the Nissan Ariya vehicle to a stop, own vehicle can automatically accelerate if the vehicle is stopped for less than approximately 30 seconds on the freeway. Always be prepared to apply the brakes and stop own Nissan Ariya vehicle if necessary.

• Always check own surroundings before restarting the vehicle when it has been at a stop.

• These systems are not designed to detect anything other than motorized Nissan Ariya vehicles travelling in the same direction on the roadway. In particular, the systems do not detect the following objects:

  • Pedestrians, animals or objects in the roadway

  • Oncoming Nissan Ariya vehicles in the same lane

  • Motorcycles travelling offset in the travel lane

  • Road debris

• The ProPILOT Assist 2.1 functions will not work properly or will be canceled if any of following conditions are met.

• In the following situations, the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 functions and system may not operate properly. To avoid accidents or unwanted system operation, never use these systems under the following conditions:

  • On roads with heavy, highspeed traffic or sharp curves

  • On slippery or adverse road surfaces, such as on wet, icy or snowy roads, or when roadway traffic is causing adverse travel conditions (i.e. road spray from passing Nissan Ariya vehicles)

  • On unpaved or uneven roadway surfaces, or on steep uphill or downhill roads

  • During inclement weather, such as rain, snow, fog, ice, sandstorms or dust storms

  • When sensor detection capabilities are reduced, for example:

    • When snow/ice/dirt are covering the sensors or the camera area of the windshield is fogged up

    • When objects, such as stickers, bike racks or cargo obstruct the Nissan Ariya vehicle sensors

    • When strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) enters the cameras or there is a sudden change in brightness (for example, entering or exiting a tunnel or driving under a bridge)

  • When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper distance between Nissan Ariya vehicles because of frequent acceleration or deceleration, or when the cut-in detection function or approach warning activates frequently

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

  • When there is interference by other radar sources

  • When driving with Nissan Ariya vehicle equipment that is not original to the vehicle (for example, equipped with non-original brake, tire or suspension parts) or not within normal conditions (for example, tire wear, abnormal tire pressure, installation of tire chains, reduced headlight brightness)

  • When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of the Nissan Ariya vehicle, or when vehicle load capacity is exceeded.

  • When towing a trailer or other vehicle (4WD models)

  • When driving on roads with missing, unclear, discontinued or less detectable lane markers or roads with multiple parallel lane markers, or roads with markings or features that might be detected as lane markers (for example, wheel ruts and paving seams)

  • When driving on roads where the lane markers or traffic patterns are changing, temporary or unusual (for example, merging or separating lanes, widering/narrowing lanes, exit ramps, toll gates, construction zones, lane closures)

  • When the lane markers are not visible due to darkness and the headlights are off

• There are variety of conditions and situations in which the detection of a Nissan Ariya vehicle ahead may be delayed or the vehicle ahead may not be detected. A few examples include:

  • A Nissan Ariya vehicle suddenly cuts in front of own vehicle

  • When driving on a blind curve or winding road

  • A stationary Nissan Ariya vehicle or vehicle travelling at a much slower speed suddenly becomes apparent after the vehicle ahead changes lanes

  • When motorcycles are traveling offset from the center of the lane

• Drivers should always be attentive and take action if needed to manage the roadway and traffic situation.

• The Driver Monitoring System used to support ProPILOT Assist 2.1 may not detect the driver’s condition in all situations, including:

  • When the camera or the driver is lit by sunlight or there are repeated changes in brightness (in sunlight and shadow alternatively)

  • When portions of the driver’s face or head are hidden (for example, inappropriate driving position, wearing sunglasses, a face mask or a hat)

  • When there is an obstruction between the driver’s face and the monitoring camera

  • When the monitoring camera lens becomes dirty or obscured

  • When more than one face is recognized near the driver’s seat (for example, a passenger is leaning over toward the driver)

  • When the driver narrows their eyes or loses their driving posture (for example, avoiding the sun glare, etc.)

• The side radar sensors may not detect or may have delayed detection of Nissan Ariya vehicles in adjacent lanes in some conditions, for example, vehicles approaching rapidly from behind, particularly high or low ground clearance Nissan Ariya vehicles, motorcycles, or a vehicle which has recently entered that zone from behind. Stay alert to surrounding Nissan Ariya vehicles and operate the steering wheel as needed for traffic conditions.

• In some 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 systems where not recommended.

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

When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the ICC system will not provide automatic braking and approach warning. 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 ProPILOT Assist switch to turn the system off. Push the P (Park) position switch to shift to the P (Park) position, and turn the engine off.

If a vehicle cuts in after own vehicle was stopped by the ICC system, it cannot be detected depending on its position or direction. Own Nissan Ariya vehicle may approach the cut-in vehicle when restarting. Operate the brake pedal to maintain a safe distance to the Nissan Ariya vehicle ahead.

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

Listed below are the system limitations for Speed Limit Assist. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death. It is driver’s responsibility to select the proper speed, follow all traffic regulations and observe other road users.

• Speed Limit Assist may not operate properly and the actual speed limit may not be applied to the Nissan Ariya vehicle set speed in all conditions. The driver must manually control the vehicle speed.
