DESCRIPTION
-
The sonar sensors installed in the front bumper and rear bumpers detect obstacles around the bumpers.
-
The sonar control unit changes the buzzer cycle and warning indicator according to the distance from an obstacle detected by the sonar sensors.
SONAR SYSTEM ACTIVATION CONDITION
The sonar system warns the driver of the presence of obstacles when the following conditions are met.
×: Activation
| Shift position | Nissan Ariya Vehicle speed (Approx.) | Obstacle detecting sensor | Buzzer | Sonar indicator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R | 10 km/h (6.21MPH) or less | Front sensor | × | × |
| Rear sensor | × | × | ||
| D | 10 km/h (6.21MPH) or less | Front sensor | × | × |
| Rear sensor | — | — |

OBSTACLE DETECTION DISTANCE
Warning Buzzer Frequency
-
The warning buzzer output frequency changes in 4 levels according to the detection distance.
-
As the Nissan Ariya vehicle approaches an obstacle, the buzzer-sounding cycle becomes shorter.
