“Nissan has integrated intelligent driver-assist technologies such as Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist, Intelligent Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning, High Beam Assist, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and Traffic Sign Recognition that can help drivers avoid common mistakes and improve road safety,” said Chris Reed, senior vice president, Research and Development, Nissan Technical Center North America. “You use a lot of reflex memory when you operate a vehicle so if you have been off the roads for a while, now is a good time to understand how these features can truly improve the overall driving experience.”

• Heading to another birthday parade? Re-familiarize yourself with Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, which can provide audio and visual alerts and even apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate collisions. Nissan’s Rear Intelligent Emergency Braking helps the driver detect stationary objects when backing up and, if necessary, can apply the brakes to help avoid a collision. Both technologies are part of Nissan Safety Shield 360.
• Pulling out of a curbside pickup spot? When backing out of a parking space, Rear Cross Traffic Alert makes it easy by watching the area around the rear of the vehicle and can warn you about detected approaching vehicles you might not see.

• Forgetting the speed limit? Traffic Sign Recognition keeps you up to date with the latest speed limit by detecting road signs as you go.
• Unintended lane drifting? Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies can alert drivers if they begin to drift from their lane or if another vehicle is in their blind spot areas thanks to Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning systems. The ProPILOT Assist system combines Nissan’s Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist technologies to maintain a gap with the car in front of you at a preset distance and to help keep the vehicle centred during single-lane highway driving, even on slight curves.

• Glued to your smartphone? Put the cell phone down when you’re behind the wheel and rely on the intelligent connectivity tools such as NissanConnect® with Navigation and Services, featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, for directions, phone calls and messaging.

About Nissan ProPILOT Assist
Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist is a hands-on driving assistant designed to help drivers during long highway trips and the stop and go traffic of your daily commute. Using a front radar sensor and a front-facing camera located behind the rear-view mirror, it can maintain a gap with the car in front of you at a preset distance and help to keep the vehicle centred during single-lane driving, even on slight curves. The ProPILOT Assist system combines Nissan’s Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist technologies and includes a stop and hold function that can bring the vehicle to a full stop, hold in place, and can bring you back up to speed when traffic starts moving again.
