2. RAB system warning indicator (vehicle information display)
3. RAB system OFF warning light (instrument panel)
4. Steering-wheel-mounted controls (right side)
5. Touch screen display

The Nissan Armada RAB system becomes active when the transmission is shifted into the R (Reverse) position and the vehicle is moving at speeds below approximately 9 MPH (15 km/h), ensuring reliable operation during parking or low-speed reversing.

If the Nissan Armada detects a potential collision risk with an object while reversing, the system will issue multiple alerts. The RAB warning indicator will flash in the vehicle information display, a red frame will appear on the touch screen (for models equipped with the Intelligent Around View Monitor), and an audible warning will sound three times. If the driver does not react promptly, the system will automatically apply the brakes.

After automatic braking is activated, the driver must press and hold the brake pedal to maintain braking force and ensure the vehicle remains stationary.

NOTE:

• The Nissan Armada brake lights will illuminate automatically when the RAB system applies the brakes.
• A noise may be heard during automatic braking. This is a normal operating characteristic and does not indicate a malfunction.

How to temporarily cancel the RAB system

Example

The Nissan Armada RAB system can be temporarily enabled or disabled by selecting the RAB ON/OFF control (A) on the touch screen display. When the system is active, the indicator (B) will illuminate, confirming that the feature is operational.

However, when TOW mode is activated (if equipped) or when the trailer Blind Spot Warning (BSW) function is enabled, the Nissan Armada RAB system cannot be turned on, as system priorities shift to towing-related safety functions.

NOTE:

• The indicator (B) will turn off and a message will be displayed only when the Nissan Armada driver manually disables the RAB system. If the system is automatically disabled due to a malfunction or because the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system is turned off, the indicator may remain on without displaying a warning message.
• The Nissan Armada RAB system is automatically disabled when TOW mode is selected or when the trailer BSW function is active.
• The Nissan Armada RAB system will automatically reactivate after the engine is restarted, provided that the trailer BSW function is not active.
