2020 NISSAN ALTIMA service

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.

vehicle in a safe place, place the shif t lever
in the P (Park) position, and turn the engine
off. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted, clean the sensor area of the
front bumper and restart the engine. If the
“Not Available: Front Radar Blocked” warn-
ing message continues to be displayed,
have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service. Condition C
When driving on roads with limited road
structures or buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next to
long walls), the system may illuminate the
system warning light and display the “Not
Available: Front Radar Blocked” message.
Action to take:
When the above driving conditions no lon-
ger exist, turn the system back on.
ICC system malfunction
If the ICC system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, and the speed control status warn-
ing (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off,
restart the engine and set the ICC system
again. If it is not possible to set the ICC
system or the indicator stays on, it may be
a malfunction. Although the normal driving
can be continued, the ICC system should
be inspected. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

Under the following conditions, the Steer-
ing Assist cancels, and the Steering Assist
status indicator and the Steering Assist in-
dicator turn off:∙ When unusual lane markers appear in the traveling lane or when the lane
marker cannot be correctly detected
for some time due to certain conditions
(for example, a snow rut, the reflection
of light on a rainy day, the presence of
several unclear lane markers)
∙ When the windshield wiper operates in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steer-
ing Assist is disabled when the wiper
operates for more than approximately
10 seconds)
Action to take:
Turn the ICC system off using the CANCEL

system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Steering Assist maintenance
The camera sensor is located above the
inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the system
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 mark-
ers. ∙ 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
