Get Starting and driving -> Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (if equipped) Guide for Nissan X Trail SUV Fourth Generation (2022-2026)

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) (if equipped)

WARNING:

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

tions 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.

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 3.0 m (10 ft) behind the

rear bumper, and approximately 3.0 m (10 ft)

sideways.

The BSW system helps alert the driver of other

vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing

lanes.

JVS0945X

The BSW system uses radar sensors installed

near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles

in an adjacent lane.

Starting and driving 5-49

seconds when the ignition switch is placed in

the “ON” position.

The brightness of the side 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 indicator light flashes and no chime

sounds. For additional information, refer to

“BSW driving situations” (P.5-52).

If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the

detection zone, the side indicator light

illuminates.

If the turn signal is then activated, the system

chimes (twice) and the side indicator light

flashes. The side indicator light continues to

flash until the detected vehicle leaves the

detection zone.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE BSW SYSTEM

NOTE:

When enabling/disabling the system, the

system will retain current settings even if

the engine is restarted.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING:

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 vehi-

cles 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 clear-

ance vehicles.

— Oncoming vehicles.

BSW DRIVING SITUATIONS

— 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 a 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 vehi-

cles driving two lanes away.

Do not attach stickers (including trans-

parent 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 sys-

tem volume, open vehicle window) will

interfere with the chime sound, and it

may not be heard.
