Nissan FRONTIER 2023 Lane Departure and Blind Spot 

In order to improve driver awareness and safety, the 2023 Nissan Frontier comes outfitted with cutting-edge safety technologies like Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) systems. When an inadvertent lane departure occurs, LDW warns the driver, and LKA actively helps guide the car back into its lane. The Frontier also has Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), a function that helps avoid lane-change collisions by identifying cars in the driver’s blind areas and sending out alerts. The Frontier is a dependable and cutting-edge car thanks to these technologies, which highlight Nissan’s dedication to providing a safe driving experience by assisting drivers in staying on course and avoiding potential hazards when changing lanes or traveling on highways.

Lane Departure Warning

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the LDW system could result in serious injury or death.

• This system is only a warning device to inform the driver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle or 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.

The LDW system will operate when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 37 mph (60 km/h) and above, and only when the lane markings are clearly visible on the road. The LDW system monitors the lane markers on the traveling lane using the camera unit OA is located above the inside mirror. The LDW system warns the driver that the vehicle is beginning to leave the driving lane with an indicator and a steering wheel vibration.

The LDW system provides a lane departure warning function when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 37 mph (60 km/h) and above and the lane markings are clear. When the vehicle approaches either the left or the right side of the traveling lane, the steering wheel will vibrate and the LDW indicator on the instrument panel will blink to alert the driver. The warning function will stop when the vehicle returns to the lane markers.

Perform the following steps to enable or disable the LDW system.

1. Press the button until Settings displays in the vehicle information display. Use the button to select Driver Assistance. Then press the ENTER button.
2. Select “Lane” and press the ENTER button.
3. Select “Warning (LDW)” and press the EN-TER button.
4. Push the Warning systems to switch to turn the system on or off.

LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Listed below are the system limitations for the LDW system. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the LDW system could result in serious injury or death.

• The system will not operate at speeds below approximately 37 mph (60 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers.
  • Do not use the LDW system under the following conditions as it may not function properly:
  • During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
  • When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
  • When driving on winding or uneven roads.
  • When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
  • When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
  • When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
• The system may not function properly under the following conditions:
  • On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
  • On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
  • On roads where there are sharp curves.
  • On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs.(The LDW system could detect these items as lane markers.)
  • On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
  • When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
  • When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection range.
  • When rain, snow, dirt or an object adheres to the windshield in front of the lane camera unit.
  • When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not adjusted properly.
  • When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For example, the light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
  • When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY DISABLED
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under high-temperature conditions (over approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then started, the LDW system may be deactivated automatically and the following message will appear in the vehicle information display: “Not Available High Camera Temp.” When the interior temperature is reduced, the LDW system will resume operating automatically.

The LDW system is not designed to warn under the following conditions:

• When you operate the lane change signal and change traveling lanes in the direction of the signal. (The LDW system will become operable again approximately 2 seconds after the lane change signal is turned off.)
• When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h).

After the above conditions have finished and the necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the LDW functions will resume.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the LDW system malfunctions, it will cancel automatically and “Malfunction” will appear in the vehicle information display. If “ Malfunction” appears in the vehicle information display, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle. Place the shift lever in the P (Park) position and the ignition switch in the OFF position and re-start the engine/motor. If “Malfunction” continues to appear in the vehicle information display, have the system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit 1O for the LDW system is located above the inside mirror. To keep the proper operation of the LDW system and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to observe the following:

• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material) or install an accessory near the camera unit.
• Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instrument panel. The reflection of sunlight may adversely affect the camera unit’s capability of detecting the lane markers.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera lens or remove the screw located on the camera unit. If the camera unit is damaged due to an accident, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.

BLINDSPOT WARNING (BSW) (if so equipped)
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the BSW system could result in serious injury or death.

• The BSW system is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not designed to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW system.
• Do not use the BSW system when towing a trailer. The system may not function properly.

The BSW system helps alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.

The BSW system uses radar sensors 1O installed near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in an adjacent lane.

Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either side of your vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts from the outside mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.

1. Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
2. BSW/RCTA Indicator

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately 20 mph (32 km/h). If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection zone, the side BSW/RCTA indicator light (1) illuminates. If the turn signal is then activated, the system chimes (twice) and the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes, and the BSW/RCTA indicator illuminates (yellow) in the vehicle information display. The side BSW/RCTA indicator light continues to flash until the detected vehicle leaves the detection zone. The side BSW/RCTA indicator light illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. The brightness of the side BSW/RCTA indicator light is adjusted automatically depending on the brightness of the ambient light. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after the driver activates the turn signal, then only the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes and no chime sounds.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE BSW SYSTEM
When the BSW system is enabled in the vehicle information display, the system can be turned off temporarily by pushing the warning systems switch.

Perform the following steps to enable or disable the BSW system:

1. Press the button until “Settings” displays in the vehicle information display. Use the button to select “Driver Assistance” and press ENTER.
2. Select “Blind Spot” and press ENTER.
3. Select “Warning (BSW)” and press ENTER.
4. Push the Warning systems switch to turn the system on or off.

NOTE:

• When enabling/disabling the system, the system will retain current settings even if the engine is restarted.
• When the BSW system is turned on, the BSW/RCTA indicator (white) in the vehicle information display illuminates.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Listed below are the system limitations for the BSW system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.

• The BSW system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to detect and activate BSW when certain objects are present such as:
• Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
  • Vehicles such as motorcycles, low-height vehicles, or high-ground clearance vehicles.
  • Oncoming vehicles.
  • Vehicles remain in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop.
  • A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as your vehicle.
  • A vehicle approached rapidly from behind.
  • A vehicle which your vehicle over-takes rapidly.
  • A vehicle passes through the detection zone quickly.
  • When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first vehicle may not be detected if they are traveling close together.
• The radar sensor’s detection zone is designed based on standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the radar sensors may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects; however, objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal operating condition.
• The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles:
  • Severe weather
  • Road spray
  • Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-up on the vehicle
• Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors. These conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
