9. ProPILOT Remote Park
You can move the car when the driver is not in the car via remote control with the Intelligent Key from outside the car. This allows you to get out of the car
in advance in an area with more space, such as when parking the car in a spot where it is difficult to open the doors. Additionally, when taking the car out
of parking spaces like that as well, you can move the car before getting in, which frees the driver from having to contort themselves when getting into/out
of the car, and also eases worries about dents and scratches to the car.
Twelve sonar sensors are installed on the front and rear bumpers to detect obstacles around the car. When the car
receives a signal from the Intelligent Key, the accelerator, brake, steering, and transmission are linked, and the
car is moved based on sonar information.
System operation
When the driver operates the Intelligent Key and issues an instruction for the car to move forward or backward, the car will slowly start to move. Sonar
installed on the front and rear bumpers detects obstacles in the area around the car, and the car will control the steering wheel to adjust its direction of
travel if it comes too close to an obstacle on one side. If there is an obstacle in the car's direction of travel, then the car will stop a certain distance away
from it.
Operation Method (When taking the car out of a garage)
(1) Press the unlocswitchk/system on switch on the Intelligent Key, then press and hold this to start the
system.
(2) Press the forward switch and the unlock/system on switch at the same time to move the car to the
desired position. The car will stop when the switches are released.
(3) When the lock/system off switch is pressed, the car will shift into “P” (Park) position, activate the
electronic parking brake, and turn the power off.

10. Traffic Sign Recognition
The system notifies the driver when a speed limit sign or other traffic sign is detected, keeping the driver
informed of speed limit changes and other important road information.
Keeps the driver aware of road sign information
System operation
When the system captures road sign information, via a camera*, the road sign message is shown on the
multi-information display to keep the driver aware of important road information**.
• Some models provide the message from a combination of camera and navigation system data.
** Available sign detection types vary depending on model and destination.

11. Intelligent Driver Alertness
Helps detect driver fatigue and alerts the driver when erratic driving occurs
While driving at a high speed (60 kph/37 mph or higher), if the system determines that driver attention is
reduced based on the steering behavior, the system generates an audible chime and a message to prompt the
driver to take a break.
It is the driver's responsibility to remain alert at all times. Intelligent Driver Awareness is only a warning to
inform the driver of a potential lack of driver attention or drowsiness. It does not detect and provide an alert
in every situation.
System operation
When a driver is fatigued or attention is reduced, corrective steering is performed more frequently than usual. The system’s technology helps detect erratic
driving caused by driver drowsiness or inattention.
While driving at a speed of 60 kph/37 mph or higher, the system monitors steering input patterns by the driver. If the system determines that driving behavior is
consistent with drowsy or inattentive driving, based on changes in smoothness of the steering operation, the system generates an audible chime and a message
in the multi-information display to prompt the driver to take a break.
System mechanism
Intelligent Driver Alertness (I-DA) determines driver drowsiness or reduced attention
based on changes in smoothness (roughness) of steering input by the driver.
Using the steering angle sensors, the system calculates the roughness of steering input
patterns by the driver, based on the steering angle. The system continuously compares
subsequent driving patterns to a baseline using a statistical analysis of steering
correction errors.
If the difference in driving patterns reaches a certain level or higher, the system
determines that the driver's attention is reduced and generates an audible chime and a
message is displayed in the multi-information display to prompt the driver to take a
break.

12. Hands-free Automatic Sliding Door
Conveniently activates the opening/closing of the sliding door
When operating the sliding door can be a difficult task, such as when both hands are full
or carrying a sleeping child, the hands-free automatic sliding door operates with a simple
wave of the foot, making loading and unloading more convenient.
System operation
While carrying an Intelligent Key, the sliding door can be activated by waving a foot
under it. Upon sensor activation, a buzzer sound announces operation and opens/closes
the door.
Operation is not allowed without an Intelligent Key. Further, a safety feature restricts
activation by animals, debris or other objects.
System mechanism
When approaching the vehicle, two external antennas installed in the outside sliding door
handles detect individuals carrying an Intelligent Key when near the left or right sliding
door.
Two electrostatic sensors, installed near the lower half of the door and underside, activate
the sliding door mechanism. One sensor, facing outward, detects leg movements; and the
other sensor, facing downward, detects foot movements.
If the two sensors activate at the same time while the Intelligent Key is detected, the
system control unit determines that an operation request is made by a person and
automatically opens/closes the door. When an animal or object is nearby, the sensors do
not react due to the above conditions not being met, which makes it possible to avoid
unintended operations.

13. Rear Automatic Breaking
Helps avoid collisions with objects behind the vehicle
When the vehicle is travelling in reverse at a low speed, such as when parking, the
system assists in collision avoidance by warning the driver and braking
automatically when there is a risk of collision. The system can detect objects and
obstacles such as walls and vehicles that are behind the vehicle.
System operation
When the vehicle is travelling in reverse and sonar sensors detect an object or
obstacle, such as a wall or other vehicle, in the rearward path, and assesses a
potential risk of collision, the system warns the driver with an audible alert
and display indicator.
In addition, when a potential collision is judged, the system will
automatically apply braking force in order to help avoid a rearward collision.
System mechanism
Sonar sensors installed in the rear bumper are used to detect objects and
obstacles behind the vehicle and their distance from the vehicle's position. If
the system judges there is risk of collision, it warns the driver and
automatically applies braking force.

14. Intelligent Rear-view Mirror
Being aware of what is happening behind the car makes for safer driving.
However, the visibility offered by a car’s rearview mirror has inherent limitations. The view is often obstructed by
passengers in the rear or reduced due to nighttime conditions or bad weather, making it difficult for the driver to see
the rearview.
Nissan has developed a rearview mirror with a built-in LCD monitor displaying images from a camera mounted on
the rear of the vehicle. This Intelligent Rearview Mirror allows the driver the ability to switch between the LCD
monitor and the standard rearview mirror, depending on the driver's preference.
The driver is able to see traffic conditions behind the car through the clear video imagery, as well as use the
rearview mirror to check on passengers and pets in the rear. This helps make for a safer and more comfortable
driving experience.
Technology Functionality
A camera is attached to the rear of the vehicle and displays images on a LCD monitor built into the rearview mirror. Imagery from the camera offers clear visibility of a wide area.
Drivers use a switch at the bottom of the mirror to alternate between the monitor and the mirror.
Technology Configuration
The Intelligent Rearview Mirror combines a high-resolution camera that can check rear traffic conditions with a rearview mirror with an in-built LCD monitor that displays images
from the camera. The LCD monitor and mirror can be used in unison, with drivers switching between the two depending on their preference.
When integrating an LCD monitor and mirror, the reflection in the mirror from rear light and the transparency of the monitor will typically result in a dual-layered image, making
it hard to obtain clear visibility. Nissan's Intelligent Rearview Mirror, on the other hand, features unique technology in the structural design. This has made it possible for this kind
of system to function for the first time without any image overlap while also allowing drivers to switch between the LCD monitor and standard rearview mirror.
The high-quality camera and image processing system achieves rearview image clarity in the LCD monitor with minimal glare, even during sunrise or sunset conditions, or when
being followed by a vehicle with strong headlights.

15. Intelligent Emergency Braking
Assists drivers to avoid collisions with vehicles and pedestrians ahead
Intelligent Emergency Braking monitors the surrounding area in front of the car for vehicles and pedestrians, helping to
avoid or reduce damage caused by collisions.
*Not all intelligent Emergency Braking systems are designed to detect pedestrians. The description here within is specific to
systems which include pedestrian detection.
How the technology works ?
If the system determines that there is a risk of colliding with a vehicle or
pedestrian in front of the vehicle, it will alert the driver through visual and
audio alerts and apply light, automatic braking. This is to prompt the driver
to take action to avoid a collision.
If the driver does not take action to decelerate and the risk of a collision
increases, the system will apply automatic emergency braking immediately
before the collision. This will help to avoid or reduce the damage caused by
the collision.
Technology Configuration
A front-mounted camera installed in the upper-portion of the windshield
detects the presence of vehicles and pedestrians. If any are detected, it
measures how far away they are. The system then determines if there is a risk
of collision from the speed of the vehicle and the distance and speed to the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead.

16. Scratch Shield
Scratch Shield is a clearcoat that is more scratch resistant compared with conventional clearcoats, helping a vehicle
maintain its new look for a longer period of time. The paint also repairs fine scratches, restoring a vehicle's surface close to
its original state. Nissan will continue to expand the adoption of Scratch Shield globally.
Main characteristics
After being scratched, a car surface painted with Scratch Shield will have five times less the
number of scratches compared with a vehicle painted with a conventional clearcoat.
Scratch Shield repairs fine scratches, restoring painted surfaces close to their original state
anywhere from one day to one week.
Basic structure
A special highly elastic resin has been combined with a conventional clearcoat
to increase the paint's flexibility. This has also increased its strength by raising
the resin density.
-The paint does not self-repair if scratches are deep enough to sever the bonds
within the clearcoat or if the clearcoat has been peeled off.
-The amount of time required for self-repair depends on the surrounding
temperature and the depth of the scratch. In some cases, restoration may take
up to one week.
