As part of Nissan’s suite of available driver assistance and safety features, the 2022 Nissan Leaf is equipped with Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI). These systems work together to help the driver avoid or mitigate the effects of an accident when changing lanes.
BSW uses sensors to detect vehicles in the Leaf’s blind spot and alerts the driver with a visual warning in the appropriate mirror. If the driver ignores the warning and attempts to change lanes anyway, I-BSI will intervene by applying the brakes and steering the car back into its lane. This can help prevent a collision or, at the very least, minimize the damage.
With these two systems working in tandem, the Leaf becomes an even safer car on the road. Whether you’re commuting in traffic or making a long road trip, BSW and I-BSI can give you an extra layer of protection. For more information, please reference the 2022 Nissan Leaf owner’s manual.
