2014 NISSAN QASHQAI stop start

Ultrasonic sensorsj1 andj2 , fitted in the vehicle’s
front and rear bumpers, measure the distances be-
tween the vehicle and an obstacle when reversing.
When reverse gear is engaged a top view of the
vehicle is shown in the vehicle information display.
On the display the distances (1 meter and less) to
objects are shown. If the object(s) get(s) closer to
the vehicle colours change from green over yellow
to red. If the text [STOP] is shown, stop the vehicle
before actually touching the object.
WARNING
If there is any doubt the surroundings in the path
of the parking area and/or the parking area itself
are not free from obstacles immediately stop the
vehicle and check.
NOTE
•This system is intended as an aid to parking,
to be used in conjunction with your rear view
mirror.
•Make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not
obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

WARNING
Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) is a guidance sys-
tem for parking procedures. It does not prevent
collisions with objects. Always look through the
windows and check to be sure that it is safe to
move.
The Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) system controls
steering, guiding the vehicle when parking:
– In a bay
– Parallel to the road
NOTE
The IPA system instructs you to stop, drive for-
wards or drive backwards. Follow the instructions
given by the system.
The IPA system is not able to support parking when
the vehicle speed during the parking manoeuvre is
more than 7 km/h (4 MPH).
CAUTION
Do not use the IPA system under the following
conditions:
•On unpaved roads.
•On snow-covered or frozen roads.
•On uneven roads with slants, bumps, kerb-
stones, wheel tracks, etc.
•At mechanical parking facilities.
•When tyre chains or a spare tyre are installed.

INTELLIGENT PARKING ASSIST
(IPA) (where fitted)
5-46Starting and driving

•When the vehicle is being towed
•When the doors (including the back door) are
not closed.
The following conditions may reduce the ability
of the system to detect other vehicles:
•Severe weather.
•Road spray.
•Ice build up on the vehicle.
•Frost on the vehicle.
•Dirt on the vehicle.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent ma-
terial), install accessories or apply additional
paint near the sonar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the system to detect
other vehicles.
The sonar sensors detect stationary objects be-
hind the vehicle. The sonar sensors may not de-
tect:
•Small or moving objects.
•Wedge-shaped objects.
•Objects close to the bumper.
•Thin objects such as rope, wire, or chain.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the IPA may not
be able to predict precise courses and function
properly. There may be instances where sur-rounding objects and vehicles are displayed in-
side the clearance guidelines (red), or where the
vehicle cannot be parked in the correct spot fol-
lowing the IPA operation.
•When the shift lever is operated while driving.
•When sudden start, sudden stop or sudden
operation of the shift lever occurs.
•When tyre pressure is too low or a tyre is worn
out.
•When tyres are installed that are of a different
size from the tyres that were equipped at the
time of factory shipment.
•When the vehicle is heavily laden.
DEACTIVATION OF THE IPA SYSTEM
The IPA will deactivate under the following condi-
tions:
•When the steering wheel is operated manually.
•When 5 seconds have passed since the shift
lever was placed and kept in the Neutral (N)
position.
•When reversing operations are conducted more
than 10 times for steering corrections.
•When the system judges that conditions (such
as worn out or low pressure tyres, road condi-
tions for example) are not suitable for correct
course predictions.
•When the vehicle reverses to a position behind
the position where the IPA operation started.
•When the vehicle passes the reverse starting
position by more than 2 m (6.5 ft).
•When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately
7 km/h (4 MPH).
•When the driver does not follow the IPA guid-
ance.

three minutes after thebutton has
been pushed while the shift lever is in a position
other than the Reverse (R) position.
•When the view is switched, the display of im-
ages on the screen may be displayed with some
delay.
•When the temperature is extremely high or low,
the screen may not display objects clearly. This
is not a malfunction.
•When strong light directly shines on the camera,
objects may not be displayed clearly. This is not
a malfunction.
•The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
