Nissan Altima (2024 year). Manual in english

Acceleration when passing

When the ICC system is engaged above 44
mph and following a slower vehicle (below
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-
vated to the left, the ICC system will auto-
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to
help initiate passing on the left and will begin
to reduce the distance to vehicle directly
ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates
this feature. As the driver steers the vehicle
and moves into the passing lane, if no vehicle
is detected ahead the ICC system will con-
tinue to accelerate to the ICC system set
speed. If another vehicle is detected ahead,
then the vehicle will accelerate up to the fol-
lowing speed of that vehicle. If the vehicle is
not steered into the left lane to pass, the
acceleration will stop after a short time and
regain the set following distance. Accelera-
tion can be stopped at any point by depress-
ing the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.

WARNING

In order to reduce the risk of a collision
that may result in serious injury or
death, please be aware of the following:

•

This function is only activated with
the left turn signal and will briefly ac-
celerate the vehicle even if a lane

change is not initiated. This can in-
clude non-passing situations such as
left side exits.

•

Ensure that when passing another ve-
hicle, the adjacent lane is clear before
initiating the pass. Sudden changes in
traffic may occur while passing- always
manually steer or brake as needed-
never solely rely on the system.

ICC system limitations

WARNING

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

•

The ICC system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.

•

The ICC system will not adapt auto-
matically 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 absent-minded driving or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.

•

When the ICC system automatically
brings the car to a stop, your vehicle
can automatically accelerate if the
vehicle is stopped for less than ap-
proximately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary.

•

Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The ICC system may not
be able to maintain the selected dis-
tance between vehicles (following
distance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.

5-86

Starting and driving

•

The system may not detect the ve-
hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system un-
der the following conditions:

–

On roads with heavy, high-speed

traffic or sharp curves

–

On slippery road surfaces such as

on ice or snow, etc.

–

During bad weather (rain, fog,

snow, etc.)

–

When rain, snow or dirt adhere to

the bumper around the distance
sensor

–

On steep downhill roads (the ve-

hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)

–

On repeated uphill and downhill

roads

–

When traffic conditions make it dif-

ficult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration

–

Interference by other radar sources.

•

Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.

•

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

The ICC system will not detect the following
objects:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel

lane

The following are some conditions in which
the radar sensor cannot properly detect a
vehicle ahead and the system may not op-
erate properly:
• When the sensor detection is reduced

(conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust
storms, sandstorms, and road spray from
other vehicles)

• Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads

with sharp curves

• Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as

an uneven dirt road

• If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cover-

ing the radar sensor area

• A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a

car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is
near the vehicle ahead.

• Interference by other radar sources
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
• When excessively heavy baggage is

loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of
your vehicle.

The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the radar sensor’s operation
within the limitations of the system.

The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the ICC system to maintain
the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside
of the detection zone due to its position
within the same lane of travel. Motorcycles
may not be detected in the same lane
ahead if they are traveling offset from the
center line of the lane. A vehicle that is en-
tering the lane ahead may not be detected
until the vehicle has completely moved into
the lane.

Starting and driving

5-87

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a ve-
hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the
radar system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle.

The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You will
have to manually control the proper dis-
tance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.

System Temporarily Unavailable

The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to

STEERING ASSIST

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death.

•

The Steering Assist is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, inattentive or absent-minded
driving. The Steering Assist will not
always steer the vehicle to keep it in
the lane. It is not designed to prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the 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 Steer-
ing Assist does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road
conditions. Always drive safely, pay
attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle, and manually control your ve-
hicle appropriately.

•

The Steering Assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways or
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
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 vehicle or to avoid a ve-
hicle moving into your lane.

•

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

•

Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the Steering Assist.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
Steering Assist. To avoid serious in-
jury or death, do not rely on the sys-
tem to prevent accidents or to con-
trol the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the Steering
Assist except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.

Steering Assist operation

The Steering Assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, see “Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)”
(P. 5-81).

The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
• The ICC system is activated.
• Lane markers on both sides are clearly

detected.

• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the

vehicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph
[60 km/h]).

• The driver grips the steering wheel.
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the

lane.

• The turn signals are not operated.
• The windshield wiper is not operated in the

high (HI) speed operation (the Steering
Assist function is disabled after the wiper
operates for approximately 10 seconds).

Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)

When a curve or strong cross wind exceeds
the capabilities of the Steering Assist and
your vehicle approaches either the left or
the right side of the traveling lane, the I-LI
indicator (orange) on the instrument panel
flashes and provide a steering wheel vibra-
tion to alert the driver. Then, the I-LI system
automatically applies the brakes for a
short period of time to help assist the
driver to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane. This action is in addition
to any Steering Assist actions.

operation.

If the steering wheel is not operated or the
driver takes his/her hands off the steering
wheel for a period of time, the warning

appears in the vehicle information display.

If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played, an audible alert sounds and the
warning flashes in the vehicle information
display, followed by a quick brake applica-
tion to request the driver to take control of
the vehicle again.

If the driver still does not respond, the Pro-
PILOT Assist turns on the hazard flasher
and slows the vehicle to a complete stop.

The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerating,
or operating the ProPILOT Assist switch.

WARNING

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

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the RAB
system could result in serious injury or
death.

•

The RAB system is a supplemental
aid to the driver. It is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures.
Always use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction you
will move before and while backing
up. Never rely solely on the RAB sys-
tem. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, and be in con-
trol of the vehicle at all times.

•

There is a limitation to the RAB sys-
tem capability. The RAB system is not
effective in all situations.

•

Inclement

weather

ultrasonic

sources such as an automatic car
wash,

truck’s

compressed-air

brakes or a pneumatic drill may af-
fect the function of the system; this
may include reduced performance or
a false activation.

The RAB system can assist the driver when
the vehicle is backing up and approaching
objects directly behind the vehicle.

The RAB system detects obstacles behind
the vehicle using the parking sensors

located on the rear bumper.

–

Snow chains are used.

–

Wheels or tires other than NISSAN

recommended are used.

–

The brakes are cold at low ambi-

ent temperatures or immediately
after driving has started.

–

The braking force becomes poor due

to wet brakes after driving through
a puddle or washing the vehicle.

designated as Genuine NISSAN
parts are used. (If the vehicle height
or the vehicle body inclination is
changed, the system may not de-
tect an obstacle correctly.)

–

If the vehicle is using an accessory

like a bike rack, or cargo carrier
that blocks the sensors.

•

Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB system
warning light will illuminate, and the “Mal-
function: See Owner’s Manual” warning
message will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display and a chime will sound.

Action to take

If the warning light illuminates, park the ve-
hicle in a safe location, turn the engine off,
and restart the engine. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the RAB sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

5-108

Starting and driving

• Do not subject the area around the park-

ing sensors

to strong impact. Also, do

not remove or disassemble the parking
sensors. If the parking sensors and pe-
ripheral areas are deformed in an acci-
dent, etc., have the sensors checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

• Do not install any stickers (including

transparent stickers) or accessories on
the parking sensors

and their sur-

rounding areas. This may cause a mal-
function or improper operation.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the AEB
with

Pedestrian

Detection

system

could result in serious injury or death.

•

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for the
driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely.
It cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driving
techniques.

•

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather and road conditions.

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of
a forward collision with the vehicle ahead in
the traveling lane or with a pedestrian
ahead in the traveling lane.

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
uses a radar sensor located on the front of
the vehicle

to measure the distance to

the vehicle ahead in the same lane. For
pedestrians, the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system uses a camera installed be-
hind the windshield

in addition to the

radar sensor.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
(AEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

Starting and driving

5-109

If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues
the second visual (2) (flashing) (red and
white) and audible warning. If the driver re-
leases the accelerator pedal, then the sys-
tem applies partial braking. If the risk of a
collision becomes imminent, the AEB with
Pedestrian

Detection

system

applies

harder braking automatically.

While the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is operating, you may hear the
sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system is operating properly.

NOTE:

The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system.

Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well
as driving and roadway conditions, the sys-
tem may help the driver avoid a forward
collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences if a collision should be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system will function
later or will not function.
