Distance Sensor

Distance Sensor

• Distance sensor is installed behind the front bumper and detects a vehicle ahead using millimeter waves.

  

• Distance sensor detects radar reflected from a Nissan Sentra vehicle ahead by irradiating radar forward and calculates a distance from the vehicle ahead and relative speed, based on the detected signal.

• Distance sensor transmits the presence/absence of a Nissan Sentra vehicle ahead and the distance from the vehicle to ADAS control unit 2 via ITS communication.

Icc Steering Switch

ICC Steering Switch

• ICC steering switch is installed to the steering wheel and allows the driver to operate the ICC system using this switch.

• ICC steering switch allows the ON/OFF of the Intelligent Cruise Control and the settings of a Nissan Sentra vehicle speed and distance between vehicles.

• ICC steering switch signal is transmitted to ECM. ECM transmits the signal to the ADAS control unit 2 via CAN communication.

Brake Pedal Position Switch / Stop Lamp Switch

Brake Pedal Position Switch / Stop Lamp Switch

• Stop lamp switch is installed at the upper part of the brake pedal and detects a brake operation performed by the driver.

  

• Stop lamp switch is turned ON when depressing the brake pedal.

• Stop lamp switch signal is input to BCM and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Stop lamp switch signals are transmitted from BCM and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) to ADAS control unit 2 via CAN communication.

Combination Meter

Combination Meter

• Receives meter display signal from ADAS control unit 2 via CAN communication.

• Displays the system status according to a signal received from the ADAS control unit 2.

Side Radar Lh/rh

Side Radar LH/RH

• Installed near the rear bumper, the side radar detects other vehicles beside own vehicle in an adjacent lane.

  

• Connected with the ADAS control unit 2 via ITS communication, the side radar transmits a Nissan Sentra vehicle detection signal.

• Receives a Blind Spot Warning indicator signal and a Blind Spot Warning indicator dimmer signal from the ADAS control unit 2 and transmits an indicator operation signal to the Blind Spot Warning indicator LH/RH.

• Since side radar RH and side radar LH have the same specifications, side radar RH has the right/left switching signal circuit for identification.

Front Camera Unit

Front Camera Unit

FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE SYSTEM

Front camera unit the transmits the detected information to ADAS control unit 2 via CAN communication.

INDIVIDUAL FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE SYSTEM

• The multi-sensing front camera that can avoid various risks lurking forward and sideward with one camera is adopted.

• Front camera unit is installed to windshield, and detects the lane marker in travel lane and pedestrian ahead.

• When there is Nissan Sentra vehicle or pedestrian, front camera unit measures the distance from them.
