Nissan Ariya: Intelligent Driver Alertness (I-DA)

Basic information

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the I-DA system could result in serious injury or death.

• The I-DA system is only a warning to inform the driver of a potential lack of driver attention or drowsiness.

  It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control.

• The I-DA system does not detect and provide an alert of the driver's lack of attention or fatigue in every situation.
• It is the driver's responsibility to:
  • Stay alert.
  • Drive safely.
  • Keep the vehicle in the traveling lane.
  • Be in control of the vehicle at all times.
  • Avoid driving when tired.
  • Avoid distractions (texting, etc).

The I-DA system helps alert the driver if the system detects a lack of attention or driving fatigue.

The system monitors driving style and steering behavior over a period of time, and it detects changes from the normal pattern. If the system detects that driver attention is decreasing over a period of time, the system uses audible and visual warnings to suggest that the driver take a break.

I-DA system operation

Example

If the system detects driver fatigue or that driver attention is decreasing, the message "Take a Break?" appears in the vehicle information display and a chime sounds when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 37 MPH (60 km/h).

The system continuously monitors driver attention and can provide multiple warnings per trip.

The system resets and starts reassessing driving style and steering behavior when the power switch is cycled from the ON to the OFF position and back to the ON position.

The system will not operate when Steering Assist system is activated.
