Function Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Nissan Armada and 2018 Nissan Armada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system can help alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention always operates together with Blind Spot Warning.
The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system operates above approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH).
The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system uses side radar installed near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles beside vehicle in an adjacent lane.
The side radar can detect vehicles on either side of vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone starts from the outside mirror of vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.
If the Blind Spot Warning/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention indicator is illuminated while vehicle is approaching a lane marker, the Blind Spot Warning/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention indicator blinks and an audible warning will sound three times. Then the system applies the brakes on one side of the vehicle for a short period of time to help return the vehicle back to the center of the lane.

Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention operates regardless of turn signal usage.
The brightness of Blind Spot Warning/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention indicator lights is adjusted automatically depending on the brightness of the ambient light.

NOTE:

Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention is typically activated earlier than Intelligent Lane Intervention when getting closer to the lane marker.
Warning and brake control will only be activated if the Blind Spot Warning/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention indicator is already illuminated when vehicle approaches a lane marker.
If another vehicle comes into the detection zone after vehicle has crossed a lane marker, no warning or brake control will be activated.
