WHAT IS PROPILOT ASSIST?
ProPILOT Assist is a hands-on driver assist system that combines adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping to maintain speed, follow traffic, and keep the vehicle centered in its lane. Nissan's Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist technologies 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.
Features include Speed Adjust by Route that can help reduce your speed for tight curves and off-ramps, as well as Speed Limit Assist that gives drivers the option to quickly adjust the set speed to the posted speed limit. Both features allow for a more intuitive, enjoyable drive. [[1735]]
How does ProPILOT Assist work?
Using a radar sensor in the front of the vehicle, it can maintain a gap with the car in front of you at a preset distance. The forward-facing camera located near the top of the windshield helps keep the vehicles centered during single-lane driving, even on slight curves.

Hands-Off Driving
While driving on compatible freeways, you can take your hands off the wheel and your feet off the pedals - though you still need to pay attention to the road, and be prepared to take control of the vehicle. First, look for a blue interior light and an icon in the information display. These are signals from ProPILOT Assist 2.1 that let you know it's possible to drive hands-off and feet-free. What helps make all this possible? ProPILOT Assist 2.1's assistance with steering, acceleration and braking on compatible roads. [[6064]][[1462]] [[143]]
Lane Change Assist
If the vehicle ahead of you is going slower than your set cruising speed, remain confident. ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is engineered to help you navigate detected lane changes while both hands are on the wheel. Push a button, and advanced mapping and traffic data can help you overtake the vehicle. [[1462]] [[143]]
Passing Assist
Keep moving forward and get where you’re going with Passing Assist: an innovative feature unique to the ProPILOT Assist 2.1 suite of technologies. When ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is active and you encounter another, slower-moving vehicle in your lane, Passing Assist will help you get ahead by first notifying the driver with a suggestion to pass once there are no adjacent vehicles detected, and then by engaging Lane Change Assist technology at the driver’s confirmation to aid in the overtake maneuver. [[1462]][[143]]
Intelligent Cruise Control
Useful in both highway and stop-and-go traffic situations, the Nissan Intelligent Cruise Control feature with ProPILOT Assist, automatically adjusts your vehicle's speed to maintain a preset following distance from the car ahead. And when traffic ahead slows, your vehicle will slow too, then will resume your set speed when the traffic clears.
