From the Highway 10 corridor to the I-35W and I-694 crawl, Nissan ProPILOT Assist helps take the edge off every Anoka County commute. Learn how it works, where it shines, and which new Nissan models offer it.
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.
Radar monitors the vehicle ahead and adjusts your speed automatically to maintain the following distance you choose.
A forward-facing camera reads lane markings and applies light steering input to help keep you centered.
In heavy traffic the system can bring you to a full stop, then resume when traffic moves again shortly after.
The system watches for driver input and gives visual and audible warnings if it senses you aren't engaged.
Not every ProPILOT system is the same. Nissan offers three levels in the U.S., and each one builds on the one before it. Here's what separates them so you can choose the right fit for your north metro drive.
The foundation. Speed, spacing and steering support for everyday highway commutes.
Adds navigation map data so the system can anticipate the road ahead, not just react to it.
Nissan's most advanced version, using 3D high-definition mapping on compatible divided highways.
Picked up your new Nissan from our Coon Rapids showroom? Getting started takes just a few seconds once you're on a clearly marked highway.
Local drivers know the north metro's busiest stretches. These are the kinds of drives where ProPILOT Assist can make the trip feel shorter.
| Route | Typical Drive | How ProPILOT Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Highway 10 | Coon Rapids to Anoka, Ramsey and Elk River | Keeps speed and spacing steady on the open divided stretches |
| Highway 610 | Cross-town trips toward Maple Grove | Smooth cruising with lane centering on well-marked lanes |
| I-35W | Rush hour into Minneapolis | Stop-and-go support when traffic slows to a crawl |
| I-694 | East-west commutes across the north suburbs | Less pedal work in heavy, start-stop traffic |
| Weekend trips | Heading up to the cabin or Duluth | Reduced fatigue on long, steady highway miles |
ProPILOT Assist depends on its camera and radar seeing clearly. Our Coon Rapids team recommends a few cold-weather habits:

ProPILOT Assist availability varies by model, model year and trim. Ask a Walser Nissan Coon Rapids product specialist to confirm equipment on a specific vehicle.
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.
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.
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.
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.
