INTELLIGENT FORWARD COLLISION

WARNING (I-FCW)

• Do not subject the area around the park-

WARNING

ing sensors

to strong impact. Also, do

O

not remove or disassemble the parking

sensors. If the parking sensors and pe-

ripheral areas are deformed in an acci-

dent, etc., have the sensors checked. It is

recommended that you visit a NISSAN

certified LEAF dealer for this service.

Failure to follow the warnings and in-

structions for proper use of the I-FCW

system could result in serious injury or

death.

•

The I-FCW system can help warn the

driver before a collision occurs but

will not avoid a collision. It is the driv-

er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive

safely and be in control of the vehicle

at all times.

• Do not install any stickers (including

transparent stickers) or accessories on

1

the parking sensors

and their sur-

O

rounding areas. This may cause a mal-

function or improper operation.

The I-FCW system can help alert the driver

when there is a sudden braking of a second

vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle

ahead in the same lane.

The I-FCW system operates at speeds

above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).

If there is a potential risk of a forward colli-

sion, the I-FCW system will warn the driver

by blinking the vehicle ahead detection in-

dicator, and sounding an audible alert.

The system is designed to automati-

cally check the sensor’s functionality,

within certain limitations. The sys-

tem may not detect some forms of

obstruction of the sensor area such

as ice, snow, stickers, etc. In these

cases, the system may not be able to

warn the driver properly. Be sure that

you check, clean and clear the sensor

area regularly.
