PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND  
DRIVING  
should determine the proper tire inflation  
pressure for those tires.)  
minute and then remain continuously illu-  
minated. This sequence will continue upon  
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as  
the malfunction exists. When the malfunc-  
tion indicator is illuminated, the system  
may not be able to detect or signal low tire  
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions  
may occur for a variety of reasons, includ-  
ing the installation of replacement or alter-  
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that  
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-  
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction  
telltale after replacing one or more tires or  
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the  
replacement or alternate tires and wheels  
allow the TPMS to continue to function  
properly.  
WARNING  
•
Do not leave children or adults who  
would normally require the support  
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets  
should not be left alone either. They  
could accidentally injure themselves  
or others through inadvertent opera-  
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny  
days, temperatures in a closed ve-  
hicle could quickly become high  
enough to cause severe or possibly  
fatal injuries to people or animals.  
As an added safety feature, your vehicle  
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure  
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates  
a low tire pressure telltale when one or  
more of your tires is significantly under-  
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire  
pressure telltale illuminates, you should  
stop and check your tires as soon as pos-  
sible, and inflate them to the proper pres-  
sure. Driving on  
a
significantly under-  
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and  
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also  
reduces power efficiency and tire tread life,  
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and  
stopping ability.  
•
Properly secure all cargo with ropes  
or straps to help prevent it from slid-  
ing or shifting. Do not place cargo  
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-  
den stop or collision, unsecured  
cargo could cause personal injury.  
Additional information  
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-  
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is  
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-  
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation  
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-  
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.  
• When replacing a wheel without the  
TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS  
does not monitor the tire pressure of the  
spare tire.  
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING  
SYSTEM (TPMS)  
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),  
should be checked monthly when cold and  
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-  
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on  
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure  
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different  
size than the size indicated on the vehicle  
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you  
• The TPMS will activate only when the ve-  
hicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph (25  
km/h). Also, this system may not detect a  
sudden drop in tire pressure (for example,  
a flat tire while driving).  
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a  
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate  
when the system is not operating properly.  
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-  
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.  
When the system detects a malfunction,  
the telltale will flash for approximately one  
5-4 Starting and driving  
• The low tire pressure warning light does  
not automatically turn off when the tire  
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is in-  
flated to the recommended pressure, the  
vehicle must be driven at speeds above  
16 mph (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS  
and turn off the low tire pressure warning  
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check  
the tire pressure.  
• Tire pressure rises and falls depending on  
the heat caused by operation of the ve-  
hicle and the outside temperature. Do  
not reduce the tire pressure after driving  
because the tire pressure rises after driv-  
ing. Low outside temperature can lower  
the temperature of the air inside the tire,  
which can cause a lower tire inflation  
pressure. This may cause the low tire  
pressure warning light to illuminate. If the  
warning light illuminates in low ambient  
temperature, check the tire pressure for  
all four tires.  
WARNING  
•
•
Radio waves could adversely affect  
electric medical equipment. Those  
who use a pacemaker should contact  
the electric medical equipment  
manufacturer for the possible influ-  
ences before use.  
If the low tire pressure warning light  
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-  
den steering maneuvers or abrupt  
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull  
off the road to a safe location and  
stop the vehicle as soon as possible.  
Driving with under-inflated tires may  
permanently damage the tires and  
increase the likelihood of tire failure.  
Serious vehicle damage could occur  
and may lead to an accident and  
could result in serious personal in-  
jury. Check the tire pressure for all  
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to  
the recommended COLD tire pres-  
sure shown on the Tire and Loading  
Information label to turn the low tire  
pressure warning light off. If the tire is  
flat, repair it as soon as possible. (For  
additional information, refer to “Flat  
tire” in the “In case of emergency”  
section of this manual.)  
• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning  
also appears on the vehicle information  
display when the low tire pressure warn-  
ing light is illuminated and low tire pres-  
sure is detected. The “Tire Pressure Low -  
Add Air” warning turns off when the low  
tire pressure warning light turns off.  
• The pressure of all tires can also be  
checked on the display screen. The order  
of the tire pressure figures displayed on  
the screen does not correspond with the  
actual order of the tire position.  
• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning  
appears each time the power switch is  
placed in the ON position as long as the  
low tire pressure warning light remains  
illuminated.  
For additional information, refer to “Low tire  
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments  
and controls” section and “Tire Pressure  
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “In case of  
emergency” section of this manual.  
• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning  
does not appear if the low tire pressure  
warning light illuminates to indicate a  
TPMS malfunction.

FCC Notice:  
For USA:  
•
When replacing a wheel without the  
TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS  
will not function and the low tire  
pressure warning light will flash for  
approximately 1 minute. The light will  
remain on after 1 minute. Have your  
tires replaced and/or TPMS system  
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-  
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-  
tified LEAF dealer for this service.  
•
Do not place metalized film or any  
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the  
windows. This may cause poor re-  
ception of the signals from the tire  
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will  
not function properly.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the  
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-  
lowing two conditions: (1) This device  
may not cause harmful interference, and  
(2) this device must accept any interfer-  
ence received, including interference

Some devices and transmitters may tem-  
porarily interfere with the operation of the  
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure  
warning light to illuminate. Some examples  
are:  
NOTE:  
•
•
Replacing tires with those not origi-  
nally specified by NISSAN could af-  
fect the proper operation of the  
TPMS.  
• Facilities or electric devices using similar  
radio frequencies that are near the ve-  
hicle.  
Changes or modifications not expressly  
approved by the party responsible for  
compliance could void the user’s author-  
ity to operate the equipment.  
Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol  
tire sealant into the tires, as this may  
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-  
sure sensors.  
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies  
is being used in or near the vehicle.

TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert  
AVOIDING COLLISION AND  
ROLLOVER  
When tire pressure is low, the low tire pres-  
sure warning light illuminates.  
• If the hazard indicator does not flash  
within approximately 15 seconds after  
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates  
that the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not oper-  
ating.  
WARNING  
This vehicle provides visual and audible  
signals to help you inflate the tires to the  
recommended COLD tire pressure.  
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe  
and prudent manner may result in loss  
of control or an accident.  
Vehicle set-up:  
• The TPMS will not activate the Easy-Fill  
Tire Alert under the following condi-  
tions:  
– If there is interference from an exter-  
nal device or transmitter.  
– The air pressure from the inflation  
device is not sufficient to inflate the  
tire, such as those using a power  
socket.  
– If electrical equipment is being used  
in or near the vehicle.  
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS.  
– There is a malfunction in the horn or  
hazard indicators.  
– If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert does not op-  
erate due to TPMS interference,  
move the vehicle about 3 ft (1 m)  
backward or forward and try again.  
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.  
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive  
speed, high speed cornering, or sudden  
steering maneuvers because these driving  
practices could cause you to lose control of  
your vehicle. As with any vehicle, a loss of  
control could result in a collision with  
other vehicles or objects or cause the ve-  
hicle to rollover, particularly if the loss of  
control causes the vehicle to slide side-  
ways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid  
driving when tired. Never drive when under  
the influence of alcohol or drugs (including  
prescription or over-the-counter drugs  
which may cause drowsiness). Always  
wear your seat belt as outlined in “Seat  
belts” in the “Safety — Seats, seat belts and  
supplemental restraint system” section of  
this manual, and also instruct your passen-  
gers to do so.  
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.  
2. Apply the parking brake and push the P  
(Park) position switch on the shift lever.  
3. Place the power switch in the ON posi-  
tion. Do not place in the READY to drive  
mode.  
Operation:  
1. Add air to the tire.  
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indica-  
tors will start flashing.  
3. When the designated pressure is  
reached, the horn beeps once and the  
hazard indicators stop flashing.  
4. Perform the above steps for each tire.

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in  
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,  
an unbelted or improperly belted person  
is significantly more likely to be injured  
or killed than a person properly wearing  
a seat belt.  
5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the  
vehicle to follow the road while the ve-  
hicle speed is reduced. Do not attempt  
to drive the vehicle back onto the road  
surface until the vehicle speed is  
reduced.  
Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by  
maintaining the correct air pressure and  
visually inspecting the tires for wear and  
damage. For additional information, refer  
to “Wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance  
and do-it-yourself” section of this manual.  
If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or “blows-  
out” while driving, maintain control of the  
vehicle by following the procedure below.  
Please note that this procedure is only a  
general guide. The vehicle must be driven  
as appropriate based on the conditions of  
the vehicle, road and traffic.  
6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn  
the steering wheel until both tires return  
to the road surface. When all tires are on  
the road surface, steer the vehicle to  
stay in the appropriate driving lane.  
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY  
While driving, the right side or left side  
wheels may unintentionally leave the road  
surface. If this occurs, maintain control of  
the vehicle by following the procedure be-  
low. Please note that this procedure is only  
a general guide. The vehicle must be driven  
as appropriate based on the conditions of  
the vehicle, road and traffic.  
• If you decide that it is not safe to return  
the vehicle to the road surface based  
on vehicle, road or traffic conditions,  
gradually slow the vehicle to a stop in  
a safe place off the road.  
WARNING  
The following actions can increase the  
chance of losing control of the vehicle if  
there is a sudden loss of tire air pressure.  
Losing control of the vehicle may cause a  
collision and result in personal injury.  
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.  
2. Do not apply the brakes.  
RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS  
Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can  
occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged  
due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air  
pressure loss can also be caused by driving  
on under-inflated tires.  
3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering  
wheel with both hands and try to hold a  
straight course.  
•
The vehicle generally moves or pulls  
in the direction of the flat tire.  
4. When appropriate, slowly release the ac-  
celerator pedal to gradually slow the  
vehicle.  
•
•
Do not rapidly apply the brakes.  
Rapid air pressure loss can affect the han-  
dling and stability of the vehicle, especially  
at highway speeds.  
Do not rapidly release the accelerator  
pedal.  
•
Do not rapidly turn the steering  
wheel.  
5-8 Starting and driving  
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.  
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!  
That is true for drugs, too (over-the-  
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Do  
not drive if your ability to operate your ve-  
hicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some  
other physical condition.  
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND  
DRIVING  
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering  
wheel with both hands and try to hold a  
straight course.  
WARNING  
3. When appropriate, slowly release the ac-  
celerator pedal to gradually slow the  
vehicle.  
Never drive under the influence of alco-  
hol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-  
stream reduces coordination, delays  
reaction time and impairs judgement.  
Driving after drinking alcohol increases  
the likelihood of being involved in an  
accident injuring yourself and others.  
Additionally, if you are injured in an ac-  
cident, alcohol can increase the sever-  
ity of the injury.  
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe lo-  
cation off the road and away from traffic  
if possible.  
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-  
ally stop the vehicle.  
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and  
contact a roadside emergency service  
to change the tire. For additional infor-  
mation, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case of  
emergency” section of this manual.  
NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-  
ever, you must choose not to drive under  
the influence of alcohol. Every year thou-  
sands of people are injured or killed in  
alcohol-related accidents. Although the lo-  
cal laws vary on what is considered to be  
legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol  
affects all people differently and most  
people underestimate the effects of alco-  
hol.

WARNING  
Never rely solely on the e-Pedal system,  
as there is a performance limit to the  
system function. Always drive carefully  
and attentively. The brake pedal should  
be operated to slow or stop the vehicle,  
depending on traffic or road condi-  
tions.

5-22 Starting and driving  
NOTE:  
• When the e-Pedal system is switched  
on or off, the degree of vehicle decel-  
eration changes.  
• The e-Pedal system automatically  
turns off when the EV system restarts.  
• To keep the e-Pedal system activated  
even after the EV system restarts, turn  
on “Retain Mode” in the “Driver Assis-  
tance” menu of the vehicle information  
display. For additional information, re-  
fer to “Vehicle information display” in  
the “Instruments and controls” section  
of this manual.  
LSD3166  
LSD3645  
• The setting for “Retain Mode” does not  
reset after selecting “Factory Reset” in  
the “Settings” menu of the vehicle in-  
formation display. For additional infor-  
mation, refer to “Vehicle information  
display” in the “Instruments and con-  
trols” section of this manual.  
When the e-Pedal system is activated, the  
regenerative brake is enhanced and the  
driver can adjust the vehicle speed by only  
depressing or returning the accelerator  
pedal. When you release (take your foot off)  
the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows  
down and comes to a stop smoothly with-  
out depressing the brake pedal. After a  
stop, the vehicle remains at a stop auto-  
matically.  
To activate or deactivate the e-Pedal sys-  
tem, place the power switch in the ON po-  
sition and pull the e-Pedal switch located  
on the center console. The e-Pedal system  
turns on or off each time the e-Pedal  
switch is pulled. (The e-Pedal indicator in  
the vehicle information display shows the  
status of the e-Pedal system.)  
When the e-Pedal system is activated, the  
characteristics of the accelerator pedal  
change significantly and the accelerator  
pedal operates differently than a conven-  
tional accelerator pedal operates. Be sure  
to confirm the status of the e-Pedal system  
in the vehicle information display before  
driving.  
To turn the e-Pedal system off while the  
vehicle is stopped by the e-Pedal system,  
depress the brake pedal and then pull the  
e-Pedal switch.  
Starting and driving 5-23  
The e-Pedal system provides the following  
driving features:  
• The vehicle’s brake lights remain illumi-  
nated when the vehicle is stopped by the  
e-Pedal system.  
Other driving tips for the e-Pedal sys-  
tem:  
• For smooth deceleration when the  
e-Pedal system is activated, it is recom-  
mended that you adjust the accelerator  
pedal by either depressing or returning,  
not releasing, the pedal.  
When driving and stopping the vehicle:  
• Depress the accelerator pedal to start  
the vehicle again from a stop.  
• Depressing or returning the accelerator  
pedal changes the degree of accelera-  
tion and deceleration accordingly.  
When the vehicle needs to be stopped for a  
certain period of time, place the vehicle in  
the P (Park) position and apply the parking  
brake.  
• Returning the accelerator pedal gener-  
ates more deceleration than normal. (The  
maximum deceleration changes accord-  
ing to the vehicle speed.)  
• Moving the shift lever from D (Drive) to B  
mode or from B mode to D (Drive) does  
not affect the e-Pedal system feature.  
• The e-Pedal system does not function  
under the following conditions:  
– When the vehicle is placed in the P  
(Park) or N (Neutral) position  
– When cruise control (if so equipped),  
ProPILOT Assist (if so equipped), or Au-  
tomatic Emergency Braking with Pe-  
destrian Detection operates  
CAUTION  
• Releasing (taking your foot off) the accel-  
erator pedal reduces the vehicle speed  
until the vehicle comes to a stop.  
When the e-Pedal system is turned off,  
remember to depress the brake pedal  
firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov-  
ing with the shift lever in any position  
other than P (Park).  
• The vehicle’s brake lights illuminate when  
the deceleration level reaches an ordi-  
nary braking operation.  
If the deceleration is not sufficient when the  
accelerator pedal is returned or released,  
depress the brake pedal. The brake pedal  
can be operated to reduce the vehicle  
speed in the same way as normal even  
when the e-Pedal system is activated.  
When backing up the vehicle:  
• With the shift lever in the R (Reverse) po-  
sition, operating the accelerator pedal  
adjusts the vehicle speed (acceleration,  
deceleration, or stopping) in the same  
way as the D (Drive) position.  
E-PEDAL SYSTEM LIMITATIONS  
WARNING  
Listed below are the system limitations  
for the e-Pedal system. Failure to oper-  
ate the vehicle in accordance with  
these system limitations could result in  
serious injury or death.  
When restarting the vehicle:

Detection zone  
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on  
either side of your vehicle within the detec-  
tion zone shown as illustrated. This detec-  
tion zone starts from the outside mirror of  
your vehicle and extends approximately  
10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and  
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.  
LSD2844  
5-38 Starting and driving  
The BSW system automatically turns on  
every time the EV system is started, as long  
as it is activated using the settings menu  
on the vehicle information display.  
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION  
1. Side Indicator Light  
2. BSW Indicator  
The BSW system operates above approxi-  
mately 20 mph (32 km/h).  
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the  
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)  
illuminates. If the turn signal is then acti-  
vated, the system chimes (twice), the side  
indicator light flashes, and the BSW indica-  
tor (2) illuminates (yellow) in the vehicle in-  
formation display. The side indicator light  
continues to flash until the detected ve-  
hicle leaves the detection zone.  
The side indicator light illuminates for a few  
seconds when the power switch is placed  
in the ON position.  
The brightness of the side indicator light is  
adjusted automatically depending on the  
brightness of the ambient light.  
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone  
after the driver activates the turn signal,  
then only the side indicator light flashes  
and no chime sounds. For additional infor-  
mation, refer to “BSW driving situations” in  
this section

NOTE:  
I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION  
• I-BSI warning and system application  
will only be activated if the side indica-  
tor light is already illuminated when  
your vehicle approaches a lane marker.  
If another vehicle comes into the de-  
tection zone after your vehicle has  
crossed a lane marker, no I-BSI warn-  
ing or system application will be acti-  
vated. (For additional information, see  
“I-BSI driving situations” (P.5–52).).  
The I-BSI system operates above approxi-  
mately 37 mph (60 km/h).  
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the  
1
detection zone, the side indicator light  
O
illuminates.  
If the turn signal is then activated, the sys-  
tem chimes (twice) and the side indicator  
light flashes. The side indicator light contin-  
ues to flash until the detected vehicle  
leaves the detection zone. The brightness  
of the side indicator light is adjusted auto-  
matically depending on the brightness of  
the ambient light.  
• The I-BSI system is typically activated  
earlier than the Intelligent Lane Inter-  
vention (I-LI) system when your vehicle  
is approaching a lane marker.  
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle  
approaches a lane marker while another  
vehicle is in the detection zone, the system  
chimes (three times) and the side indicator  
light flashes. The I-BSI system activates to  
help return the vehicle back to the center of  
the driving lane. The I-BSI system operates  
regardless of turn signal usage.  
To turn on the I-BSI system, push the ProPI-  
LOT Assist switch on the steering wheel  
(models with ProPILOT Assist) or the dy-  
namic driver assistance switch (models  
without ProPILOT Assist) after starting the

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE  
CONTROL MODE OPERATION  
For additional information, refer to “Ap-  
proach warning” in this section.  
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control  
mode is designed to maintain a selected  
distance from the vehicle in front of you  
and can reduce the speed to match a  
slower vehicle ahead. The system will de-  
celerate the vehicle as necessary and if the  
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle  
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC  
system can only apply up to 40% of the  
vehicle’s total braking power.  
The following items are controlled in the  
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:  
• When there are no vehicles traveling  
ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance  
control mode maintains the speed set by  
the driver. The set speed range is be-  
tween approximately 20 and 90 mph (32  
and 144 km/h).  
This system should only be used when traf-  
fic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re-  
main fairly constant or when vehicle  
• When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,  
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control  
mode adjusts the speed to maintain the  
distance, selected by the driver, from the  
vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes  
to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a  
standstill within the limitations of the sys-  
tem. The system will cancel once it judges  
a standstill with a warning chime.  
speeds change gradually. If  
a
vehicle  
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a  
vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,  
the distance between vehicles may be-  
come closer because the ICC system can-  
not decelerate the vehicle quickly enough.  
If this occurs, the ICC system will sound a  
warning chime and blink the system dis-  
play to notify the driver to take necessary  
action.  
• When the vehicle traveling ahead has  
moved out from its lane of travel, the  
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode  
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed  
up to the set speed.  
The system will cancel and a warning  
chime will sound if the speed is below ap-  
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle  
is not detected ahead. The system will also

Depress the accelerator to properly accel-  
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-  
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake  
pedal when deceleration is required to  
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle

the ICC system will accelerate and main-  
tain the speed up to the set speed. Pay

Approach warning  
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle  
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-  
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-  
tem warns the driver with the chime and  
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-  
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-  
hicle distance if:  
• The chime sounds.  
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator  
blinks.  
The warning chime may not sound in  
some cases when there is a short distance  
between vehicles. Some examples are:

operates this feature. As the driver steers  
the vehicle and moves into the passing  
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC  
system will continue to accelerate to the  
ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is  
detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel-  
erate up to the following speed of that ve-  
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the  
left lane to pass, the acceleration will stop  
after a short time and regain the set follow-  
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped  
at any point by depressing the brake pedal  
or the CANCEL switch on the steering  
wheel.  
NOTE:  
–
–
Always manually steer or brake as  
needed  
The approach warning chime may sound  
and the system display may blink when  
the ICC sensor detects objects on the  
side of the vehicle or on the side of the  
road. This may cause the ICC system to  
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The  
ICC sensor may detect these objects  
when the vehicle is driven on winding  
roads, narrow roads, hilly roads, or when  
entering or exiting a curve. In these  
cases you will have to manually control  
the proper distance ahead of your  
vehicle.  
Never solely rely on the system  
Automatic cancellation  
A chime sounds under the following condi-  
tions and the control is automatically can-  
celed:  
• When the vehicle ahead is not detected  
and your vehicle is traveling below the  
speed of 15 mph (24 km/h)  
• When the system judges the vehicle is at  
a standstill  
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-  
fected by vehicle operation (steering  
maneuver or driving position in the  
lane) or traffic or vehicle condition (for  
example, if a vehicle is being driven with  
some damage).  
• When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)  
position or B mode  
WARNING  
In order to reduce the risk of a collision  
that may result in serious injury or  
death, please be aware of the following:  
• When the parking brake system is applied  
• When the VDC system is turned off  
• When VDC operates  
•
This function is only activated with  
the left turn signal and will briefly ac-  
celerate the vehicle even if a lane  
change is not initiated. This can in-  
clude non-passing situations such as  
left side exits.  
• When distance measurement becomes  
impaired due to adhesion of dirt or ob-  
struction to the sensor  
Acceleration when passing  
When the ICC system is engaged above 43  
mph and following a slower vehicle (below  
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-  
vated to the left, the ICC system will auto-  
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to  
help initiate passing on the left and will  
begin to reduce the distance to the vehicle  
directly ahead. Only the left side turn signal  
• When a wheel slips  
• When the radar signal is temporarily in-  
terrupted

Ensure that when passing another  
vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear be-  
fore initiating the pass. Sudden  
changes in traffic may occur while  
passing.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE  
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS  
•
As there is a performance limit to the  
distance control function, never rely  
solely on the ICC system. This system  
does not correct careless, inattentive  
or absentminded driving, or over-  
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or  
other bad weather. Decelerate the  
vehicle speed by depressing the  
brake pedal, depending on the dis-  
tance to the vehicle ahead and the  
surrounding circumstances in order  
to maintain a safe distance between  
vehicles.  
•
The system may not detect the ve-  
hicle in front of you in certain road or  
weather conditions. To avoid acci-  
dents, never use the ICC system un-  
der the following conditions:  
WARNING  
Listed below are the system limitations  
for the ICC system. Failure to operate  
the vehicle in accordance with these  
system limitations could result in seri-  
ous injury or death.  
–
–
–
–
On roads where the traffic is heavy  
or there are sharp curves  
On slippery road surfaces such as  
on ice or snow, etc.  
During bad weather (rain, fog,  
snow, etc.)  
•
The ICC system is primarily intended  
for use on straight, dry, open roads  
with light traffic. It is not advisable to  
use the ICC system in city traffic or  
congested areas.  
When rain, snow or dirt adhere to  
the bumper around the distance  
sensor  
•
If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,  
the vehicle decelerates to a standstill  
within the limitations of the system.  
The system will cancel once it judges  
that the vehicle has come to a stand-  
still and sound a warning chime. To  
prevent the vehicle from moving, the  
driver must depress the brake pedal.  
–
On steep downhill roads (the ve-  
hicle may go beyond the set ve-  
hicle speed and frequent braking  
may result in overheating the  
brakes)  
•
The ICC system will not adapt auto-  
matically to road conditions. This  
system should be used in evenly  
flowing traffic. Do not use the system  
on roads with sharp curves, or on icy  
roads, in heavy rain or in fog.  
–
–
On repeated uphill and downhill  
roads  
•
Always pay attention to the opera-  
tion of the vehicle and be ready to  
manually control the proper follow-  
ing distance. The ICC system may not  
be able to maintain the selected dis-  
tance between vehicles (following  
distance) or selected vehicle speed  
under some circumstances.

Interference by other radar  
sources.  
5-80 Starting and driving  
The following are some conditions in which  
the sensor cannot properly detect a ve-  
hicle ahead and the system may not oper-  
ate properly:  
The detection zone of the radar sensor is  
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-  
tection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-  
tance detection mode to maintain the se-  
lected distance from the vehicle ahead.  
•
•
Do not use the ICC system if you are  
towing a trailer. The system may not  
detect a vehicle ahead.  
In some road or traffic conditions, a  
vehicle or object can unexpectedly  
come into the sensor detection zone  
and cause automatic braking. Al-  
ways stay alert and avoid using the  
ICC system where not recommended  
in this warning section.  
• When snow or road spray from traveling  
vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.  
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the  
detection zone due to its position within  
the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may  
not be detected in the same lane ahead if  
they are traveling offset from the center  
line of the lane. A vehicle that is entering the  
lane ahead may not be detected until the  
vehicle has completely moved into the  
lane.  
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.  
• When excessively heavy baggage is  
loaded in the rear seat or the cargo area  
of your vehicle.  
The radar sensor will not detect the follow-  
ing objects:  
The ICC system is designed to automati-  
cally check the sensor’s operation within  
the limitations of the system.  
• Stationary and slow moving vehicles  
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway  
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane  
When the sensor is covered with dirt or is  
obstructed, the system will automatically  
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with  
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,  
etc., the ICC system may not detect them.  
In these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle  
distance control mode may not cancel and  
may not be able to maintain the selected  
following distance from the vehicle ahead.  
Be sure to check and clean the sensor  
regularly.  
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn  
you by blinking the system indicator and  
sounding the chime. The driver may  
have to manually control the proper dis-  
tance away from the vehicle traveling  
ahead.  
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel  
lane  
The sensor generally detects the signals  
returned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore,  
if the sensor cannot detect the reflection  
from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system  
may not maintain the selected distance.

When driving on some roads, such as wind-  
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads  
which are under construction, the ICC sen-  
sor may detect vehicles in a different lane,  
or may temporarily not detect a vehicle  
traveling ahead. This may cause the ICC  
system to decelerate or accelerate the ve-  
hicle.  
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn  
you by blinking the system indicator and  
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You  
will have to manually control the proper  
distance away from the vehicle traveling  
ahead.  
The detection of vehicles may also be af-  
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-  
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)  
or vehicle condition.

3. Steering-wheel-mounted control (right)  
4. ProPILOT Assist switch  
The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow-  
ing two functions:  
1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)  
The ICC system can be set to one of two  
cruise control modes:  
• Conventional (fixed speed) cruise  
control mode: For cruising at a preset  
speed  
NOTE:  
Steering Assist is not available in the  
conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-  
trol mode.  
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control  
mode: The ICC system maintains a  
selected distance from the vehicle in  
front of you within the speed range of  
0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up to the  
set speed. The set speed can be se-  
lected by the driver between 20 to 90  
LSD3658

mph (32 to 144 km/h). When the ve-  
hicle ahead slows to a stop, your ve-  
hicle gradually decelerates to a stand-  
still. When the vehicle is stopped, the  
ICC system maintains braking force to  
keep your vehicle stopped.  
NOTE:  
Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak-  
ing (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection set-  
ting is turned off by the driver using the  
“Settings” menu in the vehicle informa-  
tion display, AEB with Pedestrian Detec-  
tion will be automatically turned on  
when ICC is used.  
NOTE:  
When your vehicle is stopped for less  
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead  
begins to move, your vehicle will start  
moving again automatically.  
2. Steering Assist  
The Steering Assist function controls the  
steering system to help keep your ve-  
hicle within the traveling lane.  
– When your vehicle is at a standstill for  
more than 3 seconds and the vehicle  
ahead begins to accelerate, push the  
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accel-  
erator pedal. The ICC system starts to  
follow the vehicle ahead.  
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering  
Assist is not available at speeds under 37  
mph (60 km/h).

ing or avoidance device. It is recom-  
mended for highway use only and it  
is not intended for city driving. It is  
the driver’s responsibility to stay  
alert, drive safely, and be in control of  
the vehicle at all times.  
When the ProPILOT Assist system is can-  
celed while the vehicle is stopped, the elec-  
tronic parking brake is automatically acti-  
vated.

•
There are limitations to the ICC sys-  
tem capability. The ICC system does  
not function in all driving, traffic,  
weather, and road conditions. It is the  
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,  
drive safely, keep the vehicle in the  
traveling lane, and be in control of the  
vehicle at all times.  
• When enabling/disabling the system  
through the vehicle information dis-  
play or when pressing the Steering As-  
sist switch, the system retains the cur-  
rent settings even if the EV system is

the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs,  
the ICC system sounds a warning chime  
and blinks the system display to notify the  
driver to take necessary action.  
• When your vehicle is at a standstill for  
more than 3 seconds and the vehicle  
ahead begins to accelerate, push the  
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accel-  
erator pedal. The ICC system starts to  
follow the vehicle ahead.  
•
Always drive carefully and atten-  
tively when using the ICC system.  
Read and understand the Owner’s  
Manual thoroughly before using the  
ICC system. To avoid serious injury or  
death, do not rely on the system to  
prevent accidents or to control the  
vehicle’s speed in emergency situa-  
tions. Do not use the ICC system ex-  
cept in appropriate road and traffic  
conditions.  
The ICC system cancels and a warning  
chime sounds if the speed is below ap-  
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle  
is not detected ahead.  
• When the vehicle traveling ahead moves  
to a different traveling lane, the ICC sys-  
tem accelerates and maintains vehicle  
speed up to the set speed.  
The ICC system operates as follows:  
• When there are no vehicles traveling  
ahead, the ICC system maintains the  
speed set by the driver. The set speed  
range is between approximately 20 and  
90 mph (32 and 144 km/h).  
The ICC system does not control vehicle  
speed or warn you when you approach  
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You  
must pay attention to vehicle operation to  
maintain proper distance from vehicles  
ahead when approaching toll gates or traf-  
fic congestion.  
ICC system operation  
The ICC system is designed to maintain a  
selected distance from the vehicle in front  
of you and can reduce the speed to match  
a slower vehicle ahead. The system decel-  
erates the vehicle as necessary and if the  
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle  
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC  
system can only apply up to 40% of the  
vehicle’s total braking power. This system  
should only be used when traffic condi-  
tions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly  
constant or when vehicle speeds change  
gradually. If a vehicle moves into the travel-  
ing lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling  
ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-  
tween vehicles may become closer be-  
cause the ICC system cannot decelerate  
• When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,  
the ICC system adjusts the speed to  
maintain the distance, selected by the  
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the ve-  
hicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle  
decelerates to a standstill. Once your ve-  
hicle stops, the ICC system keeps the ve-  
hicle stopped.  
• When your vehicle is stopped for less  
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead  
begins to move, your vehicle will start  
moving again automatically.  
5-104 Starting and driving  
Normally when controlling the distance to  
a vehicle ahead, the system automatically  
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-  
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.  
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-  
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-  
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake  
pedal when deceleration is required to  
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle  
ahead due to sudden braking or if a vehicle  
cuts in. Always stay alert when using the  
ICC system.

System set display with no vehicle  
detected ahead  
When driving on the freeway at a set speed  
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle  
ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to  
maintain the distance, selected by the  
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle  
ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway,  
the ICC system accelerates and maintains  
the speed up to the set speed. Pay atten-  
tion to the driving operation to maintain  
control of the vehicle as it accelerates to  
the set speed.  
No vehicle detected ahead  
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed  
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-  
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, simi-  
lar to standard cruise control, as long as no  
vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The  
ICC system displays the set speed.  
The vehicle may not maintain the set  
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this oc-  
curs, you will have to manually control the  
vehicle speed.

(green outline  
).  
When a vehicle is detected in the lane  
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-  
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-  
ing the brakes to match the speed of a  
slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system then  
controls the vehicle speed based on the  
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the  
driver selected distance.  
The ICC system gradually accelerates to  
the set speed, but you can depress the  
accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate.  
When a vehicle is no longer detected and  
your vehicle is traveling under approxi-  
mately 15 mph (24 km/h), the ICC system  
automatically cancels.  
NOTE:  
When your vehicle stops for less than 3  
seconds, your vehicle will automatically  
follow the vehicle as it accelerates from a  
stop.

form the driver by flashing the vehicle  
ahead detection indicator.  
• Your vehicle approaches other vehicles  
that are parked or moving slowly.  
• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-  
riding the system.  
Approach warning  
NOTE:  
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle  
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-  
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-  
tem warns the driver with the chime and  
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-  
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-  
hicle distance if:  
The approach warning chime may sound  
and the system display may flash when  
the radar sensor detects objects on the  
side of the vehicle or on the side of the  
road. This may cause the ICC system to  
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The  
radar sensor may detect these objects  
when the vehicle is driven on winding,  
narrow, or hilly roads or when the vehicle  
is entering or exiting a curve. In these  
cases, you will have to manually control  
the proper distance ahead of your  
vehicle.  
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-  
fected by vehicle operation (steering  
maneuver or driving position in the  
lane) or traffic or vehicle conditions (for  
example, if a vehicle is being driven with  
some damage).

ICC system limitations  
WARNING  
WARNING  
When the ICC system is engaged above 43  
mph and following a slower vehicle (below  
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-  
vated to the left, the ICC system will auto-  
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to  
help initiate passing on the left and will  
begin to reduce the distance to the vehicle  
directly ahead. Only the left side turn signal  
operates this feature. As the driver steers  
the vehicle and moves into the passing  
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC  
system will continue to accelerate to the  
ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is  
detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel-  
erate up to the following speed of that ve-  
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the  
left lane to pass, the acceleration will stop  
after a short time and regain the set follow-  
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped  
at any point by depressing the brake pedal  
or the CANCEL switch on the steering  
wheel.  
In order to reduce the risk of a collision  
that may result in serious injury or  
death, please be aware of the following:  
Listed below are the system limitations  
for the ICC system. Failure to operate  
the vehicle in accordance with these  
system limitations could result in seri-  
ous injury or death:  
•
This function is only activated with  
the left turn signal and will briefly ac-  
celerate the vehicle even if a lane  
change is not initiated. This can in-  
clude non-passing situations such as  
left side exits.  
•
The ICC system is primarily intended  
for use on straight, dry, open roads  
with light traffic. It is not advisable to  
use the ICC system in city traffic or  
congested areas.  
•
Ensure that when passing another  
vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear be-  
fore initiating the pass. Sudden  
changes in traffic may occur while  
passing.  
•
The ICC system will not adapt auto-  
matically to road conditions. This  
system should be used in evenly  
flowing traffic. Do not use the system  
on roads with sharp curves or on icy  
roads, in heavy rain or in fog.  
–
Always manually steer or brake as  
needed  
–
Never solely rely on the system  
5-108 Starting and driving  
•
As there is a performance limit to the  
distance control function, never rely  
solely on the ICC system. This system  
does not correct careless, inattentive  
or absentminded driving or over-  
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or  
other bad weather. Decelerate the  
vehicle speed by depressing the  
brake pedal, depending on the dis-  
tance to the vehicle ahead and the  
surrounding circumstances in order  
to maintain a safe distance between  
vehicles.  
•
The system may not detect the ve-  
hicle in front of you in certain road or  
weather conditions. To avoid acci-  
dents, never use the ICC system un-  
der the following conditions:  
•
•
Do not use the ICC system if you are  
towing a trailer. The system may not  
detect a vehicle ahead.  
In some road or traffic conditions, a  
vehicle or object can unexpectedly  
come into the sensor detection zone  
and cause automatic braking. Al-  
ways stay alert and avoid using the  
ICC system where not recommended  
in this warning section.

• If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cover-  
ing the radar sensor area  
• A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a  
car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is  
near the vehicle ahead  
The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses  
a multi-sensing front camera. The follow-  
ing are some conditions in which the cam-  
era may not properly detect a vehicle and  
detection of a vehicle ahead may be de-  
layed:  
• Interference by other radar sources  
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.  
• When excessively heavy baggage is  
loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of  
your vehicle  
• Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,  
snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and  
road spray from other vehicles)  
The ICC system is designed to automati-  
cally check the radar sensor’s operation  
within the limitations of the system.  
• The camera area of the windshield is  
fogged up or covered with dirt, water  
drops, ice, snow, etc.  
The detection zone of the radar sensor is  
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-  
tection zone for the ICC system to maintain  
the selected distance from the vehicle  
ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside  
of the detection zone due to its position  
within the same lane of travel. Motorcycles  
may not be detected in the same lane  
ahead if they are traveling offset from the  
center line of the lane. A vehicle that is en-  
tering the lane ahead may not be detected  
until the vehicle has completely moved into  
the lane.  
• Strong light (for example, sunlight or high  
beams from oncoming vehicles) enters  
the front camera  
• A sudden change in brightness occurs  
(for example, when the vehicle enters or  
exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning  
flashes)

Condition A  
Under the following conditions, the ICC sys-  
tem is automatically canceled. A chime will  
sound and the system will not be able to be  
set:  
• Any door is open.  
• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.  
• The vehicle ahead is not detected and

tion or B mode.  
LSD2899  
When driving on some roads, such as wind-  
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads  
which are under construction, the radar  
sensor may detect vehicles in a different  
lane, or may temporarily not detect a ve-  
hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the  
radar system to decelerate or accelerate  
the vehicle.  
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you  
by blinking the system indicator and sound-  
ing the chime unexpectedly. You will have to  
manually control the proper distance away  
from the vehicle traveling ahead.  
• The electronic parking brake is applied.  
• The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) sys-  
tem is turned off.  
• The Automatic Emergency Braking with  
Pedestrian Detection applies harder  
braking.

• VDC (including the traction control sys-  
tem) operates.  
The following are conditions in which the  
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-  
able. In these instances, the ICC system  
may not cancel and may not be able to  
maintain the selected following distance  
from the vehicle ahead.  
The detection of vehicles may also be af-  
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-  
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)  
or vehicle condition.  
• A wheel slips.  
• When distance measurement becomes  
impaired due to adhesion of dirt or ob-  
struction to the sensor.

STEERING ASSIST  
Before customizing or restoring the front  
bumper, it is recommended that you visit a  
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.  
WARNING  
Failure to follow the warnings and in-  
structions for proper use of the Steer-  
ing Assist could result in serious injury  
or death.  
The camera sensor is located above the  
inside mirror.  
To keep the proper operation of the sys-  
tems and prevent a system malfunction,  
be sure to observe the following:  
•
The Steering Assist is not a replace-  
ment for proper driving procedures  
and is not designed to correct care-  
less, inattentive or absent-minded  
driving. The Steering Assist will not  
always steer the vehicle to keep it in  
the lane. It is not designed to prevent  
loss of control. It is the driver’s re-  
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely,  
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane,  
and be in control of the vehicle at all  
times.  
ICC sensor maintenance  
• Always keep the windshield clean.  
The radar sensor is located on the front of  
the vehicle.  
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans-  
parent material) or install an accessory  
near the camera unit.  
To keep the ICC system operating properly,  
be sure to observe the following:  
• Do not place reflective materials, such as  
white paper or a mirror, on the instru-  
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight  
may adversely affect the camera unit’s  
capability of detecting the lane markers.  
• Always keep the sensor area clean.  
• Do not strike or damage the areas  
around the sensor.  
5-114 Starting and driving  
The Steering Assist can be activated when  
the following conditions are met:  
•
As there is a performance limit to the  
Steering Assist’s capability, never  
rely solely on the system. The Steer-  
ing Assist does not function in all  
driving, traffic, weather, and road  
conditions. Always drive safely, pay  
attention to the operation of the ve-  
hicle, and manually control your ve-  
hicle appropriately.  
•
Always drive carefully and atten-  
tively when using the Steering Assist.  
Read and understand the Owner’s  
Manual thoroughly before using the  
Steering Assist. To avoid serious in-  
jury or death, do not rely on the sys-  
tem to prevent accidents or to con-  
trol the vehicle’s speed in emergency  
situations. Do not use the Steering  
Assist except in appropriate road and  
traffic conditions.  
• The ICC system is activated.  
• Lane markers on both sides are clearly  
detected.  
• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the  
vehicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph  
[60 km/h]).  
• The driver grips the steering wheel.  
•
•
•
The Steering Assist is intended for  
use on well-developed freeways or  
highways with gentle (moderate)  
curves. To avoid risk of an accident,  
do not use this system on local or  
non-highway roads.  
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the  
lane.  
• The turn signals are not operated.  
Steering Assist operation  
• The windshield wiper is not operated in  
the high (HI) speed operation (the steer-  
ing assist function is disabled after the  
wiper operates for approximately 10 sec-  
onds).  
The Steering Assist controls the steering  
system to help keep your vehicle near the  
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-  
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent  
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional  
information, refer to “Intelligent Cruise Con-  
trol (ICC) (with ProPILOT Assist)” in this sec-  
tion.  
The Steering Assist only steers the  
vehicle to maintain its position in the  
center of a lane. The vehicle will not  
steer to avoid objects in the road in  
front of the vehicle or to avoid a ve-  
hicle moving into your lane.  
It is the driver’s responsibility to stay  
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in  
the traveling lane, and be in control of  
the vehicle at all times. Never take  
your hands off the steering wheel  
when driving. Always keep your  
hands on the steering wheel and  
drive your vehicle safely.

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection  
system is a supplemental aid to the  
driver. It is not a replacement for the  
driver’s attention to traffic condi-  
tions or responsibility to drive safely.  
It cannot prevent accidents due to  
carelessness or dangerous driving  
techniques.  
3. Push, then quickly release the SET-  
switch. Each time you do this, the set  
speed will decrease by about 1 mph (1.6  
km/h).  
To resume the preset speed, push and re-  
lease the RES+ switch. The vehicle will re-  
sume the last set cruising speed when the  
vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN  
DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATION  
1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator  
2. AEB emergency warning indicator  
3. AEB system warning light  
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system  
operates at speeds above approximately 3  
mph (5 km/h). For the pedestrian detection  
function, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-  
tion system operates at speeds between 6  
– 37 mph (10 – 60 km/h).  
If a risk of a forward collision with a vehicle  
is detected, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-  
tion system will first provide a warning to  
the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead de-  
tection indicator and providing an audible  
alert. In addition, the AEB with Pedestrian  
Detection system applies partial braking. If  
the driver applies the brakes quickly and  
forcefully, but the AEB with Pedestrian De-  
tection system detects that there is still the  
possibility of a forward collision, the system  
will automatically increase the braking  
force.  
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent  
and the driver does not take action, the AEB  
with Pedestrian Detection system issues

5-126 Starting and driving  
the second warning to the driver by flash-  
ing the AEB with Pedestrian Detection  
emergency warning indicator (red), provid-  
ing an audible warning, and then automati-  
cally applies harder braking.  
Depending on vehicle speed and distance  
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well  
as driving and roadway conditions, the sys-  
tem may help the driver avoid a forward  
collision or may help mitigate the conse-  
quences if a collision should be unavoid-  
able. If the driver is handling the steering  
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with  
Pedestrian Detection system will function  
later or will not function.  
If a risk of a forward impact with a pedes-  
trian is detected, the AEB with Pedestrian  
Detection system will provide a warning to  
the driver by flashing the AEB with Pedes-  
trian Detection emergency warning indica-  
tor (red), provides an audible alert and the  
system will apply partial braking. If the  
driver applies the brakes quickly and force-  
fully but the AEB with Pedestrian Detection  
system detects that there is still the possi-  
bility of a forward impact with a pedestrian,  
the system will automatically increase the  
braking force. If the risk of collision be-  
comes imminent and the driver does not  
take action, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-  
tion system automatically applies harder  
braking.  
The automatic braking will cease under the  
following conditions:  
• When the steering wheel is turned to  
avoid a collision.  
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed.  
• When there is no longer a vehicle or a  
pedestrian detected ahead.  
If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-  
tem has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle  
will remain at a standstill for approximately  
2 seconds before the brakes are released.  
NOTE:  
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when  
any braking is performed by the AEB  
with Pedestrian Detection system.

attention is decreasing over a period of  
time, the system uses audible and visual  
warnings to suggest that the driver take a  
break.  
WARNING  
Failure to follow the warnings and in-  
structions for proper use of the I-DA  
system could result in serious injury or  
death.

BRAKE SYSTEM  
You may hear a noise when the steering  
wheel is operated quickly. However, this is  
not a malfunction.  
When you put the shift lever in the B mode  
and take your foot off the accelerator  
pedal, more regenerative brake is applied  
than in the D (Drive) position. However, dur-  
ing high-speed driving you may feel that  
regenerative brake provides less decelera-  
tion than the engine braking in an ordinary  
vehicle. This is normal.  
BRAKE PRECAUTIONS  
This vehicle is equipped with two braking  
systems:  
If the power steering warning light  
1. Hydraulic brake system  
illuminates while the READY to drive indica-  
tor light is on, it may indicate the power  
steering system is not functioning properly  
and may need servicing. Have the power  
steering system checked. It is recom-  
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified  
LEAF dealer for this service. For additional  
information, refer to “Power steering warn-  
ing light” in the “Instruments and controls”  
section of this manual.  
2. Regenerative brake system  
Hydraulic brake system  
Less deceleration is provided by the regen-  
erative brake system when the Li-ion bat-  
tery is fully charged. Regenerative brake is  
automatically reduced when the Li-ion  
battery is fully charged to prevent the Li-ion  
battery from becoming overcharged. Re-  
generative brake is also automatically re-  
duced when the battery temperature is  
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones  
on the battery temperature gauge) to pre-  
vent Li-ion battery damage.  
The hydraulic brake system is similar to the  
brakes used on conventional vehicles.  
The brake system has two separate hy-  
draulic circuits. If one circuit malfunctions,  
you will still have braking at two wheels.  
The power assist for steering stops operat-  
ing when both the power steering warning  
light and READY to drive indicator light are  
illuminated. You will still have control of the  
vehicle. However, greater steering effort is  
needed, especially in sharp turns and at  
low speeds.  
Regenerative brake system  
The primary purpose of the regenerative  
brake system is to provide some power to  
help recharge the Li-ion battery and ex-  
tend driving range. A secondary benefit is  
“engine braking” that operates based on  
battery conditions.  
The brake pedal should be used to slow or  
stop the vehicle depending on traffic or  
road conditions. The vehicle brakes are not  
affected by regenerative brake system op-  
eration.  
In the D (Drive) range, when the accelerator  
is released, the regenerative brake system  
provides some deceleration and gener-  
ates power for the Li-ion battery. Power is  
also generated when the brake pedal is  
applied.  
Starting and driving 5-157  
To help reduce brake wear, and to prevent  
the brakes from overheating, reduce speed  
and select B mode before going down a  
slope or long grade. Overheated brakes  
may reduce braking performance and  
could result in loss of vehicle control.  
To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe  
speed while lightly tapping the brake pedal  
to heat up the brakes. Do this until the  
brakes return to normal. Avoid driving the  
vehicle at high speeds until the brakes  
have dried.  
NOTE:  
• When applying the regenerative  
brakes, you may hear a sound coming  
from the regenerative brake system.  
This is a normal operating characteris-  
tic of an EV.  
• If the power switch position is in a po-  
sition other than ON or READY to drive,  
you can stop the vehicle by depressing  
the brake pedal. However, greater foot  
pressure on the brake pedal will be re-  
quired to stop the vehicle, and the  
stopping distance will be longer.  
WARNING  
Parking brake break-in  
Break in the parking brake shoes whenever  
the stopping effect of the parking brake is  
weakened or whenever the parking brake  
shoes and/or drums/rotors are replaced,  
in order to assure the best braking perfor-  
mance.  
•
•
While driving on a slippery surface,  
be careful when braking or accelerat-  
ing. Abrupt braking or accelerating  
could cause the wheels to skid, which  
could result in an accident.  
• When depressing the brake pedal, the  
brake pedal feel will not be smooth or  
may change when the cooperative re-  
generative brake system activates.  
However, the electronically controlled  
brake system is operating normally  
and this does not indicate a malfunc-  
tion.  
If the brake pedal is depressed with  
the EV system OFF, you may feel an  
increased brake pedal effort and a  
decreased pedal stroke. If the BRAKE  
warning light does not illuminate  
and the brake pedal feels like it has  
returned to its normal state after the  
EV system is started, this indicates  
that there is no malfunction and the  
vehicle can be operated normally.  
This procedure is described in the Genuine  
NISSAN Service Manual, and it can be per-  
formed by a certified repair facility. It is rec-  
ommended that you visit a NISSAN certi-  
fied LEAF dealer.  
Using the brakes  
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal  
while driving. This will cause overheating of  
the brakes, wearing out of the brake pads  
and shoes faster, and will reduce driving  
range.  
Wet brakes  
When the vehicle is washed or driven  
through water, the brakes may get wet. As  
a result, the braking distance will be longer  
and the vehicle may pull to one side during  
braking.  
5-158 Starting and driving  
The ABS controls the brakes so the wheels  
do not lock during hard braking or when  
braking on slippery surfaces. The system  
detects the rotation speed at each wheel  
and varies the brake fluid pressure to pre-  
vent each wheel from locking and sliding.  
By preventing each wheel from locking, the  
system helps the driver maintain steering  
control and helps to minimize swerving  
and spinning on slippery surfaces.  
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)  
WARNING  
Self-test feature  
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) in-  
cludes electronic sensors, electric pumps,  
hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The  
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature  
that tests the system each time you push  
the power switch in the READY to drive po-  
sition and move the vehicle at a low speed  
in forward or reverse. When the self-test  
•
The ABS is a sophisticated device, but  
it cannot prevent accidents resulting  
from careless or dangerous driving  
techniques. It can help maintain ve-  
hicle control during braking on slip-  
pery surfaces. Remember that stop-  
ping distances on slippery surfaces  
will be longer than on normal sur-  
faces even with ABS. Stopping dis-  
tances may also be longer on rough,  
gravel or snow covered roads, or if  
you are using tire chains. Always  
maintain a safe distance from the ve-  
hicle in front of you. Ultimately, the  
driver is responsible for safety.  
occurs, you may hear  
a
“clunk” noise  
and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal.  
This is normal and does not indicate a mal-  
function. If the computer senses a mal-  
function, it switches the ABS off and illumi-  
nates the ABS warning light on the  
instrument panel. The brake system then  
operates normally, but without anti-lock  
assistance.  
Using the system  
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down.  
Depress the brake pedal with firm steady  
pressure, but do not pump the brakes. The  
Anti-lock Braking System will operate to  
prevent the wheels from locking up. Steer  
the vehicle to avoid obstacles.  
•
Tire type and condition may also af-  
fect braking effectiveness.  
If the ABS warning light illuminates during  
the self-test or while driving, have the ve-  
hicle checked. It is recommended that you  
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this  
service.  
WARNING  
–
When replacing tires, install the  
specified size of tires on all four  
wheels.  
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so  
may result in increased stopping dis-  
tances.  
–
For additional information, refer  
to “Wheels and tires” in the “Main-  
tenance and do-it-yourself” sec-  
tion of this manual.  
Normal operation  
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) oper-  
ates at speeds above 3 to 6 mph (5 to 10  
km/h). The speed varies according to road  
conditions.  
Starting and driving 5-159  
VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)  
SYSTEM  
When the ABS senses that one or more  
wheels are close to locking up, the actuator  
rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pres-  
sure. This action is similar to pumping the  
brakes very quickly. You may feel a pulsa-  
tion in the brake pedal and hear a noise  
from under the hood or feel a vibration  
from the actuator when it is operating. This  
is normal and indicates that the ABS is op-  
erating properly. However, the pulsation  
may indicate that road conditions are haz-  
ardous and extra care is required while  
driving.  
The VDC system uses various sensors to  
monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion.  
Under certain driving conditions, the VDC  
system helps to perform the following  
functions.  
• The road may be slippery or the system  
may determine some action is required  
to help keep the vehicle on the steered  
path.  
• You may feel a pulsation in the brake  
pedal and hear a noise or vibration from  
under the hood. This is normal and indi-  
cates that the VDC system is working  
properly.  
• Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel  
slip on one slipping drive wheel so power  
is transferred to a drive wheel on the  
same axle that is not slipping.  
• Controls brake pressure and traction  
motor output to reduce drive wheel slip  
based on vehicle speed (traction control  
function).  
• Adjust your speed and driving according  
to the road conditions.  
For additional information, refer to “Slip in-  
dicator light” and “Vehicle Dynamic Control  
(VDC) OFF indicator light” in the “Instru-  
ments and controls” section of this manual.  
• Controls brake pressure at individual  
wheels and traction motor output to help  
the driver maintain control of the vehicle  
in the following conditions:  
– Understeer (vehicle tends to not follow  
the steered path despite increased  
steering input).  
BRAKE ASSIST  
When the force applied to the brake pedal  
exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is  
activated generating greater braking force  
than a conventional brake booster even  
with light pedal force.  
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the  
indicator light illuminates in the ve-  
hicle information display. The VDC system  
automatically turns off when this indicator  
light is lit.  
– Oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to  
certain road or driving conditions).

The RSS is designed as an aid to the  
driver in detecting large stationary  
objects to help avoid damaging the  
vehicle.  
While the vehicle is moving the audible alert  
will stop after 3 seconds when an obstacle  
is detected by only the corner sensor and  
distance does not change. The audible  
alert will also stop when the obstacle  
moves away from the vehicle. At any time  
the left side button of the steering wheel (  
buttons) is available to cancel the au-  
dible alert.  
The RSS is not designed to prevent  
contact with small or moving ob-  
jects. Always move slowly. The sys-  
tem will not detect small objects be-  
low the bumper, and may not detect  
objects close to the bumper or on the  
ground.  
SYSTEM OPERATION  
The system informs with a visual and au-  
dible alert of rear obstacles when the shift  
lever is in the R (Reverse) position.

HILL START ASSIST SYSTEM  
WARNING  
Do not attach stickers (including transpar-  
ent material), install accessories or apply  
additional paint near the sonar sensors.  
The hill start assist system automatically  
keeps the brakes applied to help prevent  
the vehicle from rolling backwards in the  
time it takes the driver to release the brake  
pedal and apply the accelerator when the  
vehicle is stopped on a hill.  
•
Never rely solely on the hill start as-  
sist system to prevent the vehicle  
from moving backward on a hill. Al-  
ways drive carefully and attentively.  
Depress the brake pedal when the  
vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be  
especially careful when stopped on a  
hill on frozen or muddy roads. Failure  
to prevent the vehicle from rolling  
backwards may result in a loss of  
control of the vehicle and possible  
serious injury or death.  
Do not strike or damage the area around  
the sonar sensors. It is recommended that  
you visit a NISSAN dealer if the area around  
the sonar sensors is damaged due to a  
collision.  
Hill start assist will operate automatically  
under the following conditions:  
• The shift lever is placed in the D (Drive), B  
mode, or R (Reverse) position.  
• The vehicle is stopped completely on a  
hill by applying the brake.  
The maximum holding time is 2 seconds.  
After 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to roll  
back and hill start assist will stop operating  
completely.  
•
The hill start assist system is not de-  
signed to hold the vehicle at a stand-  
still on a hill. Depress the brake pedal  
when the vehicle is stopped on a  
steep hill. Failure to do so may cause  
the vehicle to roll backwards and  
may result in a collision or serious  
personal injury.  
Hill start assist will not operate when the  
shift lever is placed in the N (Neutral) or P  
(Park) position or on a flat and level road.  
•
The hill start assist may not prevent  
the vehicle from rolling backwards  
on a hill under all load or road condi-  
tions. Always be prepared to depress  
the brake pedal to prevent the ve-  
hicle from rolling backwards. Failure  
to do so may result in a collision or  
serious personal injury.

COLD WEATHER DRIVING  
CAUTION  
• The predicted charging time displayed  
on the meter and navigation system (if  
so equipped) increases when the Li-ion  
battery warmer (if so equipped) oper-  
ates.  
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK  
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply  
deicer through the key hole. If the lock be-  
comes frozen, heat the key before inserting  
it into the key hole or use the remote key-  
less entry key fob.  
To prevent damage to the Li-ion bat-  
tery: Do not store the vehicle in tem-  
peratures below -13°F (-25°C) for over  
seven days. If the outside temperature  
is -13°F (-25°C) or less, the Li-ion battery  
may freeze and it cannot be charged or  
provide power to run the vehicle. Move  
the vehicle to a warm location.  
• Vehicle range may be substantially re-  
duced in extremely cold conditions (for  
example under -4°F (-20°C)).  
ANTIFREEZE  
• Using the climate control system to  
heat the cabin when outside tempera-  
ture is below 32°F (0°C) uses more elec-  
tricity and affects vehicle range more  
than when using the heater when the  
temperature is above 32°F (0°C).  
In the winter when it is possible that the  
outside temperature will drop below 32°F  
(0°C), check the antifreeze to ensure proper  
winter protection. For additional informa-  
tion, refer to “Cooling system” in the “Main-  
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this  
manual.  
NOTE:  
• Connect the charger to the vehicle and  
place the power switch in the OFF po-  
sition when parking the vehicle if tem-  
peratures may go below -4°F (-20°C).  
For models with 40 kWh battery  
model, this provides external power to  
the Li-ion battery warmer (if so  
equipped) when it operates and does  
not discharge the Li-ion battery. Ve-  
hicle driving range is reduced if the Li-  
ion battery warmer (if so equipped) op-  
erates (Li-ion battery temperature  
approximately -4°F (-20°C) or colder)  
while driving the vehicle. You may need  
to charge the Li-ion battery sooner  
than in warmer temperatures.  
• Climate control performance is re-  
duced when using the Climate Ctrl.  
Timer or Remote Climate Control while  
the Li-ion battery warmer (if so  
equipped) operates (for models with  
40 kWh battery model). Set only the  
charging timer [End Time] when charg-  
ing in cold weather. The vehicle auto-  
matically determines when to start  
charging to fully charge the Li-ion bat-  
tery, even if the Li-ion battery warmer  
operates. Charging ends before the set  
end time if the Li-ion battery is fully  
charged.  
12-VOLT BATTERY  
If the 12-volt battery is not fully charged  
during extremely cold weather conditions,  
the 12-volt battery fluid may freeze and  
damage the 12-volt battery. To maintain  
maximum efficiency, the 12-volt battery  
should be checked regularly. For additional  
information, refer to “12-volt battery” in the  
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section  
of this manual.  
• The Li-ion battery requires more time  
to charge when the Li-ion battery  
warmer (if so equipped) operates.  
Starting and driving 5-169  
Tire chains may be used. For additional in-  
formation, refer to “Tire chains” in the “Main-  
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this  
manual.  
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER  
•
•
Whatever the conditions, drive with  
caution. Accelerate and slow down  
with care. If accelerating too fast, the  
drive wheels will lose even more  
traction.  
If the vehicle is to be left outside without  
antifreeze, drain the cooling system. Refill  
before operating the vehicle. For additional  
information, refer to “Cooling system” in the  
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section  
of this manual.  
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT  
Allow more stopping distance under  
these conditions. Braking should be  
started sooner than on dry  
pavement.  
It is recommended that the following items  
be carried in the vehicle during winter:  
TIRE EQUIPMENT  
• A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to re-  
move ice and snow from the windows  
and wiper blades.  
SUMMER tires have a tread designed to  
provide superior performance on dry  
pavement. However, the performance of  
these tires will be substantially reduced in  
snowy and icy conditions. If you operate  
your vehicle on snowy or icy roads, NISSAN  
recommends the use of MUD & SNOW or  
ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels. It is  
recommended that you visit a NISSAN cer-  
tified LEAF dealer for the tire type, size,  
speed rating and availability information.  
•
•
Allow greater following distances on  
slippery roads.  
• A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snow-  
drifts.  
Watch for slippery spots (glare ice).  
These may appear on an otherwise  
clear road in shaded areas. If a patch  
of ice is seen ahead, brake before  
reaching it. Try not to brake while on  
the ice, and avoid any sudden steer-  
ing maneuvers.  
• Extra windshield-washer fluid to refill the  
reservoir tank.  
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE  
WARNING  
•
Do not use cruise control on slippery  
roads.  
•
Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain),  
very cold snow or ice can be slick and  
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will  
have much less traction or “grip” un-  
der these conditions. Try to avoid  
driving on wet ice until the road is  
salted or sanded.  
For additional traction on icy roads, stud-  
ded tires may be used. However, some U.S.  
states and Canadian provinces prohibit  
their use. Check local, state and provincial  
laws before installing studded tires.  
FREEING A FROZEN CHARGE PORT  
LID  
When the charge port is frozen, melt the ice  
using a hair dryer.  
Skid and traction capabilities of studded  
snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may  
be poorer than that of non-studded  
snow tires.
