Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Owner's Manual / Starting and driving / ProPILOT Assist Systems / Steering Assist with HD map data (a feature of ProPILOT Assist 2.1)

In the Nissan Armada equipped with ProPILOT Assist 2.1, Steering Assist is enhanced by HD map data, enabling more advanced driving support. When all required conditions are met, the system indicator turns blue, signaling that enhanced functionality is active.

In this advanced mode, the Nissan Armada may allow temporary hands-off driving when conditions, traffic regulations, and safety factors permit. However, the driver must remain fully attentive to the road and be ready to take control immediately at any time.

The driver can override Steering Assist at any moment by manually steering. Even when ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is active in the Nissan Armada, responsibility for safe vehicle operation always remains with the driver.

To activate the blue indicator mode in the Nissan Armada, the following conditions must be satisfied. The system may deactivate if any condition is no longer met:

ProPILOT Assist is active and the driver’s hands are initially detected on the steering wheel.
The Nissan Armada is traveling on a recognized highway or limited-access freeway supported by HD map data.
All sensors (camera, radar, GNSS) are functioning properly and are unobstructed.
The driver monitoring system confirms that the driver is attentive to the road ahead.
Driving, traffic, and environmental conditions are suitable.
Lane markings are clearly visible and detectable.
The vehicle speed is below approximately 85 MPH (137 km/h).

WARNING

It is always the driver’s responsibility to operate the Nissan Armada in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Depending on local regulations, drivers may be required to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times. Hands-off operation should only be used when legally permitted and when it is safe to do so.

How to enable/disable Hands Off mode:
