2013 NISSAN LEAF remote start

In addition to Event Data Recorders (EDRs) dis-
cussed elsewhere in this Owner’s Manual, this
vehicle is equipped with electronic modules that
monitor, control and record data concerning vari-
ous vehicle systems, including the motor, batter-
ies, braking and electrical systems. Other elec-
tronic modules record information concerning
driving conditions, including idling, braking, ac-
celeration, trip and other related data, information
about your use of the car and its features such as
air conditioner or headlight usage, diagnostic
trouble codes, vehicle charging, vehicle speed,
direction and/or location.
Some of this data is stored by the vehicle for use
during vehicle servicing. Other data concerning
your vehicle’s operation and performance is wire-
lessly transmitted by cellular connection through
the vehicle onboard telematics system upon ve-
hicle start-up or at other intervals to NISSAN.
This data may be used by NISSAN for various
purposes, including: to provide you with CAR-
WINGS™ services (see LEAF Navigation System
Owner’s Manual for details); troubleshooting;
evaluation of your vehicle’s quality, functionality
and performance; analysis and research by
NISSAN designed to, among other things, opti-
mize performance of future electric vehicles in-
cluding improvements in future battery life; tooffer you new or additional products or services;
and as otherwise may be required by law. Such
data may be shared with NISSAN’s parents, sub-
sidiaries, affiliates, successors or assignees; au-
thorized NISSAN certified LEAF dealers; NIS-
SAN’s marketing partners; your fleet company, if
your vehicle is a fleet vehicle; your rental com-
pany, if your vehicle is a rental vehicle; and third
party service providers such as cellular, informa-
tion systems and data management providers.
State laws allow access and use of data re-
corded by vehicle devices with the consent of the
vehicle owner or pursuant to subscription agree-
ment. While you are not required to allow such
access and use, if you do not so agree NISSAN
may be unable under applicable law to activate
the vehicle telematics system in your vehicle, and
certain features of your vehicle which are depen-
dent on vehicle telematics will not operate as
intended or designed. These may include fea-
tures such as automatic charging station map
updates, remote battery state of charge check,
charging complete notice, remote plug in re-
minder, remote charging on, remote climate con-
trol on, drive route planning, driving tips to im-
prove range, driving history, billing simulation,
ECO ranking, ECO forest, maintenance remind-
ers, etc. Other features that may be developedand offered by NISSAN in the future may also not
function without telematics data transmission.
CARWINGS™ telematics services are provided
by NISSAN pursuant to a subscription services
agreement covering your vehicle. This agreement
is necessary for all owners. This agreement, and
an explanation of its terms and conditions, can be
found at the NISSAN Owner’s Portal webpage.
Further, the operator of the vehicle must also
touch [OK] on the Navi screen to indicate assent
each time he or she starts the car. If you decide at
any time that you do not want your vehicle to
transmit data to NISSAN, you can deactivate the
telematics account associated with this vehicle
by canceling the subscription services agree-
ment by visiting the NISSAN Owner’s Portal
Webpage or calling NISSAN at 1-877-
NOGASEV (1-877-664-2738) . The service can
be reactivated later upon request if you choose.
Simply visit the same website or call the number
above. Alternatively, you can turn off the transmis-
sion of certain categories of data through the use
of settings found in the Navigation system under
Menu, CARWINGS™, Vehicle Information Shar-
ing with NISSAN. Note, turning off “Vehicle Infor-
mation Sharing with NISSAN” will only disable
the automatic sharing of information at vehicle
start-up. Certain categories of data may still be
