Nissan Pathfinder (2024 year). Manual in english

Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, the system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake
pedal when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to sudden braking or if a vehicle
cuts in. Always stay alert when using the
ICC system.

No vehicle detected ahead

The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, simi-
lar to standard cruise control, as long as no
vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The
ICC system displays the set speed.

Starting and driving

Vehicle detected ahead

When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.

NOTE:
• The stop lights of the vehicle come on

when braking is performed by the ICC
system.

• When the brake is applied by the sys-

tem, a noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction.

When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indica-
tor is displayed and the speed control sta-
tus indicator

illuminates in green.

Vehicle ahead stops

When the vehicle ahead decelerates to
stop, your vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes to
keep the vehicle stopped. When your ve-
hicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Press to
start” message is displayed on the vehicle
information display.

NOTE:

When your vehicle stops for less than 3
seconds, your vehicle will automatically
follow the vehicle as it accelerates from a
stop.

Vehicle ahead accelerates

• When your vehicle is stopped for less than

approximately 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to move, your vehicle will
start moving again automatically.

• When your vehicle is at a standstill for

more than approximately 3 seconds and
the vehicle ahead begins to accelerate,
push up the RES+ switch or lightly de-
press the accelerator pedal. The ICC sys-
tem starts to follow the vehicle ahead.

• Always check surroundings before re-

starting the vehicle.

• For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT As-

sist with Navi-link and only when on a
limited access freeway (as identified in
the navigation map data):

– The

time

the

vehicle

can

remain

stopped and automatically restart is ex-
tended from 3 seconds to 30 seconds.

– If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of the

lane ahead, the vehicle may not auto-
matically start when the traffic ahead
begins to move. You need to push up
the RES+ switch or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal to follow the vehicle
directly ahead when it is safe to do so.

Vehicle ahead not detected

When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.

When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator and
speed control status indicator (maintain
speed control mode) turn off.

The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the set speed, but you can depress the
accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate.
When a vehicle is no longer detected and
your vehicle is traveling under approxi-
mately 15 mph (24 km/h), the ICC system
automatically cancels.

When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicator

flashes when the ve-

hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator turns off
when the area ahead of the vehicle is open.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-
turns to the previously set speed. Even
though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator
pedal when it is necessary to accelerate
your vehicle rapidly.

Starting and driving

Cut-in detection

If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may in-
form the driver by flashing the vehicle
ahead detection indicator.

Approach warning

If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:
• The chime sounds.
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator

blinks.

• You judge it necessary to maintain a safe

distance.

The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:
• When the vehicles are traveling at the

same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing.

• When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster

and the distance between vehicles is
increasing.

• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.

The warning chime will not sound when:
• Your vehicle approaches other vehicles

that are parked or moving slowly.

• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-

riding the system.

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may flash when
the radar sensor detects objects on the
side of the vehicle or on the side of the
road. This may cause the ICC system to
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The
radar sensor may detect these objects
when the vehicle is driven on winding, nar-
row, or hilly roads or when the vehicle is
entering or exiting a curve. In these cases,
you will have to manually control the
proper distance ahead of your vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle conditions (for ex-
ample, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage).

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 di-
rectly 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 continue to accelerate to the
ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the following speed of that ve-
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the
left lane to pass, the acceleration will stop
after a short time and regain the set follow-
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped
at any point by depressing 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
vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear be-
fore

initiating

the

pass.

Sudden

changes in traffic may occur while
passing- always manually steer or
brake as needed- never solely rely on
the system.

Speed Limit Assist - a feature of
ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
(if so equipped)

When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active and it detects a change of the speed
limit, the new speed limit is indicated and it
can be applied to the vehicle set speed
automatically or manually.

The Speed Limit Assist operates:
• When the detected speed limit is 20 mph

(30 km/h) and above.

• The “Spd. Limit Assist” is enabled in the

settings menu of the vehicle information
display.

NOTE:

•

While the accelerator pedal is operated
with AUTO mode selected, the Speed
Limit Assist will function (automatically
adjusts the vehicle set speed) only
when the detected speed limit is faster
than the vehicle set speed.

•

In the following situations, the Speed
Limit Assist will not operate:

–

When an increase in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the ve-
hicle set speed is already faster than
the new speed limit.

–

When a decrease in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the ve-
hicle set speed is already lower than
the new speed limit.

tion provided by the navigation system
and can adjust the vehicle speed depend-
ing on curves, junctions or exits and the
driver may need to apply additional brak-
ing at any time.

When the vehicle is through the curve or
junction, the vehicle will accelerate again to
the set speed. When exiting the limited ac-
cess freeway, the driver will need to apply
braking at the end of the exit.

NOTE:

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 check surroundings before
restarting the vehicle.

•

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.

•

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.

5-114

Starting and driving

•

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.

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have
to manually control the proper distance
away from the vehicle traveling ahead.

The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses
a multi-sensing front camera. The follow-
ing are some conditions in which the cam-
era may not properly detect a vehicle and
detection of a vehicle ahead may be de-
layed:
• Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,

snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and
road spray from other 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 vehicles) enters
the front camera

• A sudden change in brightness occurs

(for example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning
flashes)

Starting and driving

5-115

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

ICC sensor maintenance

The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle.

To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the sensor area of the front

bumper/emblem clean.

• Do not strike or damage the areas

around the sensor.

• Do not attach a sticker (including trans-

parent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure
or malfunction.

• Do not attach metallic objects near the

sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.

• Do not alter, remove, or paint the front

bumper.

Before customizing or restoring the front
bumper, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.

The camera sensor is located above the
inside mirror.

To keep the proper operation of the sys-
tems and prevent a system malfunction,
be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans-

parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.

• Do not place reflective materials, such as

white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers.

• Do not strike or damage the areas

around the camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit.

If the camera unit is damaged due to an

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. 5-104).

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).

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
and the hands OFF warning light illumi-
nates.

If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played, an audible alert sounds and both
the warning and the warning light flash,
followed by a quick brake application 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.

there are multiple lanes or unclear
lane

markers

due

road

construction

–

When driving on roads where

there are sharply contrasting ob-
jects, such as shadows, snow, wa-
ter, wheel ruts, seams, or lines re-
maining 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 vehicle control and result in an ac-
cident.

are

not

bright due to dirt on the lens or
the headlights are off in tunnels or
darkness

–

When a sudden change in bright-

ness occurs (for example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or is under a bridge)

–

When driving on roads where the

traveling lane merges or sepa-
rates or where there are tempo-
rary 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

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
