LEAF Certification Practice Test

What will 2022 Nissan LEAF's Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) do if the driver is alerted to the vehicle moving out of its travel lane but takes no action?

1. Sound an alarm

2. Gently applies the brake at individual wheels to help move the vehicle back into its lane

3. Steer back into the lane forcibly

4. Trigger the hazard lights

The correct answer is: Gently applies the brake at individual wheels to help move the vehicle back into its lane

The Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) system in the 2022 Nissan LEAF is designed to enhance safety by assisting the driver in maintaining lane position. When the system detects that the vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of its lane, it first provides alerts to warn the driver. If the driver does not respond to these alerts and take corrective action, the I-LI activates its corrective measures. The correct functionality involves the system gently applying the brakes at individual wheels to guide the vehicle back into its lane. This method of intervention is designed to be subtle, providing assistance without abruptly changing the vehicle's trajectory, which can be unsettling for the driver and passengers. Such a system helps mitigate the risk of lane departure, particularly in situations where drivers may be momentarily distracted or unresponsive. In contrast, other options like sounding an alarm or triggering the hazard lights do not actively correct the vehicle's path. Steering the vehicle back into the lane forcibly would also be counterproductive, as it could lead to loss of control or create an unsafe situation. Thus, the gentle braking intervention reflects a balanced approach to lane-keeping assistance, promoting safety while considering the driver's overall control and comfort.
