2020 NISSAN ALTIMA Owner´s Manual

If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system
is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle
is still drivable under normal conditions,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ProPI-
LOT Assist system could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ ProPILOT Assist is not a self-drivingsystem. Within the limits of its capa-
bilities, as described in this manual, it
helps the driver with certain driving
activities.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is not a replacement for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving. ProPILOT Assist will
not always steer the vehicle to keep it
in the lane. The ProPILOT Assist sys-
tem is not designed to prevent loss of
control. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert, drive safely, keep the ve-
hicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times. ∙ There are limitations to the ProPILOT
Assist system capability. The ProPI-
LOT Assist system does not function
in all driving, traffic, weather, and road
conditions. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance device.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is for highway use only and is not intended
for city driving. Failure to apply the
brakes or steer the vehicle when nec-
essary may result in a serious
accident.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Never take your hands off the steering wheel when driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and drive
your vehicle safely.
∙ Never unfasten your safety belt when using ProPILOT Assist. Doing so auto-
matically cancels the ProPILOT Assist
system.

∙ The ProPILOT Assist system does notreact to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ProPILOT Assist sys-
tem. Read and understand the Own-
er’s Manual thoroughly before using
the ProPILOT Assist system. To avoid
serious injury or death, do not rely on
the system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emer-
gency situations. Do not use the Pro-
PILOT Assist system except in appro-
priate road and traffic conditions.
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same
lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera
Ainstalled behind
the windshield and a radar sensor located
on the front of the vehicle
Bto measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and to monitor the lane mark-
ers. If the vehicle detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the
vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows
the vehicle in front at the selected distance. The system will also help keep the vehicle
centered in the traveling lane when clear
lane markings are detected.

PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM
OPERATION
The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow-
ing two functions:1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of
two cruise control modes:
∙ Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode: For cruising at a pre-
set speed
NOTE:
Steering Assist is not available in the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode.
LSD3224
5-92Starting and driving

∙Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: The ICC system maintains a
selected distance from the vehicle in
front of you within the speed range of
0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up to the
set speed. The set speed can be se-
lected by the driver between 20 to
90 mph (32 to 144 km/h). When the
vehicle ahead slows to a stop, your
vehicle gradually decelerates to a
standstill. When the vehicle is
stopped, the ICC system maintains
braking force to keep your vehicle
stopped.
NOTE:
When your vehicle is stopped for less
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead
begins to move, your vehicle will start
moving again automatically. – When your vehicle is at a standstillfor more than 3 seconds and the
vehicle ahead begins to accelerate,
push the RES+ switch or lightly de-
press the accelerator pedal. The ICC
system starts to follow the vehicle
ahead.
– When no vehicle is detected ahead within the driver selected distance,
the vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The speed must be
above 20 mph (32 km/h) to use this
function.
NOTE:
Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing (AEB) setting is turned off by the
driver using the “Settings” menu in the
vehicle information display, AEB will be
automatically turned on when ICC is
used. 2. Steering Assist
The Steering Assist function controls
the steering system to help keep your
vehicle within the traveling lane.
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steer-
ing Assist is not available at speeds
under 37 mph (60 km/h).
