540 - Degree Surround View is redefining how drivers perceive risk on busy roads. As Zhengzhou Nissan, we build vehicles for real-world conditions - tight alleys, crowded cities, steep trails, and work sites where visibility and control matter most. With Z9, we combined advanced imaging, intuitive alerts, and class-leading braking to help every driver feel calm, confident, and protected.

How 540 - Degree Surround View Works

Drivers need clarity, not clutter. The Z9's 540 - Degree Surround View delivers HD imaging around the vehicle with no blind spots, presenting a fuller picture of the environment so decisions become faster and safer. The system is designed for daily convenience and tough scenarios alike: parking near obstacles, maneuvering in narrow lanes, or coupling a trailer.

At the heart of this experience is 9 angle switching across 2D/3D views, including a trailer hook view for precise alignment. Tap the center display to open the transparent hood and transparent chassis views; you'll see how the front wheels turn with the steering wheel and reveal ground hazards otherwise hidden by the body. When slopes exceed 15°, Z9 automatically activates the system to visualize areas normally obscured by the hood - critical on hills and ramps.

We pair visuals with intelligence. Four-direction stereo radar emits clear audio prompts so drivers can locate obstacles quickly. A fan-shaped red - yellow - green overlay on the big screen shows distance at a glance, making spacing judgment simple and stress-free. In cramped passages, the system displays the left and right wheel views to improve passability and reduce the risk of scrapes.

Safety Features That Earn Trust

We design driver assistance to be practical above all. The Z9 integrates 540 - Degree Surround View with everyday controls to keep attention on the road instead of on workarounds.

•  Instant Access, Intuitive Control

Tap the center screen to enable transparent views, fine-tune the display, and, when AVM is active, adjust the rearview mirror window and angle for the best sightline.

•  Obstacle Awareness You Can Hear And See

Urgent radar beeps escalate with proximity. The on-screen red - yellow - green arcs translate distance into a clear visual language, ideal for tight parking, trailer work, and off-road crawling.

•  Narrow-Passage Confidence

Side wheel-angle visuals help thread through construction zones, parking structures, and urban alleyways with fewer corrections and less curb contact - an HD surround view driving safety advantage you feel immediately.

•  Slope-Savvy Assistance

On >15° grades, Z9 automatically shows the hood-covered blind area to keep the line ahead visible when you need it most.

Beyond vision, stopping performance seals the safety promise. Z9 employs racing-grade brake pads and achieves a 100 - 0 km/h braking distance of 41.9 m (unladen) and 44.9 m (laden) - shortest in class. With super-fast response, braking deceleration ramps from 0 to 0.5 g in 0.3 s. Since g ≈ 9.8 m/s², 0.5 g ≈ 4.9 m/s², meaning speed drops by about 4.9 m/s each second early in the stop. The result is braking that's not only powerful but stable and predictable, supported by a brake pad friction coefficient around 0.4 and a passenger-car-level pedal feel. In critical moments, Z9 helps you brake hard, brake straight, and brake with confidence.

Everyday Ease For City And Off-Road

Safety must serve comfort, too. That's why Z9 equips EPB + Auto Hold as standard across the pickup segment - the only one in its class to do so. In stop-and-go city traffic, Auto Hold reduces fatigue by keeping the vehicle stationary without continuous pedal pressure. On hills, gentle starts feel natural; there's no rollback anxiety, no repeated handbrake pulls. Whether you commute through congestion or explore rough terrain, the combined effect is a smoother, less stressful drive.

The 540 - Degree Surround View Z9 experience is just as much about convenience as it is about protection. Transparent chassis mode helps spot rocks, debris, and ruts before you commit. The trailer hook view streamlines hitching so you spend less time repositioning. The narrowed-lane wheel views cut the guesswork when inches matter. Together, these features elevate maneuverability, reduce minor damage risks, and keep your attention where it belongs - on the path ahead.

❓ Why It Matters To The Industry

Traditional camera systems often leave blind zones near the hood and underbody, and many trucks rely on basic beepers that lack directional clarity. In contrast, Z9's integrated imaging + radar approach solves pain points that fleets and individual owners face daily: visibility at low speeds, precision in tight spaces, and confidence on inclines. With class-leading braking distance and rapid deceleration response, Z9 also addresses the biggest safety outcome of all - shorter stops when seconds and meters matter. For buyers comparing advanced pickups, the pickup truck transparent chassis system in Z9 sets a practical benchmark: it's not a gadget; it's a tool.

Make Every Journey Safer, Starting Now

If you're evaluating technology that reduces blind spots, simplifies trailer work, and shortens braking distance, Zhengzhou Nissan Z9 is engineered for you. From 540 - Degree Surround View to EPB + Auto Hold, it's a holistic safety suite built for modern roads and demanding jobs.
