There is also a 360° Around View Monitor (AVM) and motion sensor to not only give a panoramic look all around your Nissan Qashqai, but also to help the Park Assist feature accurately assess whether there's enough room in a space, before automatically taking the complicated steering manoeuvres out of your hands if you so wish.
