Nissan Altima (L34) 2019-2024 Owners Manual: Steering Assist

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the Steering Assist could result in serious injury or death.

• The Steering Assist is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not designed to correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving. The Steering Assist will not always steer the vehicle to keep it in the lane. It is not designed to prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist’s capability, never rely solely on the system. The Steering Assist does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions. Always drive safely, pay attention to the operation of the vehicle, and manually control your vehicle appropriately.
• The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed freeways or highways with gentle (moderate) curves. To avoid risk of an accident, do not use this system on local or non-highway roads.
• The Steering Assist only steers the vehicle to maintain its position in the center of a lane. The vehicle will not steer to avoid objects in the road in front of the vehicle or to avoid a vehicle moving into your lane.
• It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Never take your hands off the steering wheel when driving. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and drive your vehicle safely.
• Always drive carefully and attentively when using the Steering Assist.

  Read and understand the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the Steering Assist. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the vehicle’s speed in emergency situations. Do not use the Steering Assist except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.

Steering Assist operation

The Steering Assist controls the steering system to help keep your vehicle near the center of the lane when driving. The Steering Assist is combined with the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional information, see "Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)".

The Steering Assist can be activated when the following conditions are met:

• The ICC system is activated.
• Lane markers on both sides are clearly detected.
• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the vehicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph [60 km/h] ).
• The driver grips the steering wheel.
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.
• The turn signals are not operated.
• The windshield wiper is not operated in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steering Assist function is disabled after the wiper operates for approximately 10 seconds).
