Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Owner's Manual: RAB system operation
For vehicles with the 7 inch meter display
- RAB system warning light
- RAB system warning indicator
- Center display
- Steering-wheel-mounted controls (left side)
When the shift lever is placed in the R (Reverse) position and the Nissan Sentra is traveling at a speed below approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), the RAB system becomes operational.
If the system detects a potential collision risk with an obstacle while reversing, the RAB warning indicator flashes in the vehicle information display. A red frame appears on the center display (for vehicles equipped with the Intelligent Around View Monitor), and an audible chime sounds three times. The system then automatically applies the brakes. After automatic braking occurs, the driver must press and hold the brake pedal to maintain braking force.
For vehicles with the 4.2 inch meter display
NOTE:
- The Nissan Sentra brake lights illuminate whenever braking is applied automatically by the RAB system.
- Audible noises may be heard during brake operation. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
