The Basics

A Co-Pilot, Not an Autopilot

ProPILOT Assist is Nissan's hands-on driver assistance technology. It combines adaptive cruise and steering support so you spend less energy on the constant small corrections of highway driving, while you stay in charge of the vehicle. Here's how the work gets divided.

What ProPILOT Helps With

  • Holding the speed you set on the highway
  • Keeping a comfortable distance from the car ahead
  • Slowing down, and even stopping, as traffic tightens up
  • Keeping your Nissan centered on clearly marked lanes
  • Reducing fatigue on longer trips up north

What You Always Handle

  • Eyes on the road and ready to take over
  • Lane changes, merges and exits
  • Reacting to stoplights, signs and pedestrians
  • Taking over in construction zones or faded lanes
  • Judging when weather makes the system unsuitable
Inside the Tech

The Building Blocks of ProPILOT Assist

Intelligent Cruise Control

Radar monitors the vehicle ahead and adjusts your speed automatically to maintain the following distance you choose.

Steering Assist

A forward-facing camera reads lane markings and applies light steering input to help keep you centered.

Traffic Stop Support

In heavy traffic the system can bring you to a full stop, then resume when traffic moves again shortly after.

Driver Attention Alerts

The system watches for driver input and gives visual and audible warnings if it senses you aren't engaged.

Winter Driving Tips for ProPILOT Owners

ProPILOT Assist depends on its camera and radar seeing clearly. Our Coon Rapids team recommends a few cold-weather habits:

  • Brush snow and ice off the front grille and emblem area where the radar sensor sits.
  • Keep the windshield clear in front of the rear-view mirror, where the camera is mounted.
  • Expect the system to pause when lane lines are covered by snow, slush or salt.
  • Turn ProPILOT off and drive manually on icy or snow-packed roads.
  • Had your windshield replaced? Ask our service team whether your front camera needs to be recalibrated.

Questions

ProPILOT Assist FAQs from Coon Rapids Drivers

Can I take my hands off the wheel with ProPILOT Assist?

It depends on the version. Standard ProPILOT Assist and ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link are hands-on systems that alert you if your hands leave the wheel. ProPILOT Assist 2.1, available on select trims, allows hands-off driving on compatible mapped highways, but you must keep watching the road and be ready to take over at any time.

Can ProPILOT Assist be added to a Nissan I already own?

ProPILOT Assist is factory-installed equipment that relies on specific cameras, radar and software, so it generally can't be added later. If you want the feature, our sales team can help you find a new or pre-owned Nissan that has it.

Will ProPILOT Assist stop for red lights on Highway 10?

No. The system responds to vehicles ahead of you, not traffic signals or stop signs. On roads with stoplights, like parts of Highway 10, you need to watch for signals and brake yourself.

Is ProPILOT Assist the same on every Nissan?

No. There are three versions: ProPILOT Assist, ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, which uses map data to adjust speed for curves and interchanges, and ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which adds hands-off capability on compatible highways. Features vary by model and trim, so we're happy to walk you through the differences in person.

Can I try ProPILOT Assist before I buy?

Yes. Contact Walser Nissan Coon Rapids to set up a test drive and we'll pick a route that gets you on the highway so you can feel how the system works.
