2021 NISSAN ROGUE sensor

CAUTION
.Excessive noise (such as audio
system volume or an open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
tone and it may not be heard.
. Keep the sonar sensors (located
on the bumper fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumula-
tions of dirt. Do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy
of the sonar function will be
diminished.

SYSTEM OPERATION
For models without side sonar sensors:
The system informs with a visual and
audible alert of:
.front obstacles when the shift lever is
in the D (Drive) position
. front and rear obstacles when the
shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position For models with side sonar sensors:
The system informs with a visual and
audible alert of obstacles in the traveling
direction, when the sensor detects them
within its detection range.
The system informs with a visual and
audible alert of potential obstacles near
the side of the vehicle. The driver will only
be notified of side obstacles located out
of detection range of the front and rear
sonar sensors if they were previously
detected as the vehicle traveled towards
them.
How the system alert of obstacles:
The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds.
The intermittent tone will stop after
several seconds when the obstacle is
identified only with the center sensor.
The tone will stop when the obstacle gets
away from the vehicle.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of
the indicator turns yellow and the rate of
the blinking increases. When the vehicle is
very close to the object, the indicator
stops blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.

The RSS sounds a tone to inform the
driver of obstacles near the rear bumper.
When the RSS is turned on, the sonar view
will automatically appear in the vehicle
information display.
WARNING
.The RSS is a convenience but it is
not a substitute for proper park-
ing.
. The driver is always responsible
for safety during parking and
other maneuvers. Always look
around and check that it is safe to do so before parking.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions of the RSS as contained in
this section. The colors of the
sonar indicator indicates differ-
ent distances to the object.
. Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may
affect the function of the system;
this may include reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
. The RSS is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large sta-
tionary objects to help avoid da-
maging the vehicle.
. The RSS is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or mov-
ing objects. Always move slowly.
The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and
may not detect objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
. The RSS may not detect the
following objects: fluffy objects
such as snow, cloth, cotton, glass,
wool, etc.; thin objects such as
rope, wire and chain, etc.; or
wedge-shaped objects. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
.
Excessive noise (such as audio
system volume or an open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
tone and it may not be heard.
. Keep the sonar sensors (located
on the rear bumper fascia) free
from snow, ice and large accu-
mulations of dirt. Do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy
of the sonar function will be
diminished.
