2014 NISSAN LEAF mirror

When the shift lever is shifted into the R (Re-
verse) position, the monitor display shows a rear-
ward view from the vehicle.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Rear View
Monitor could result in serious injury or
death.
• The RearView Monitor is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and look
out the windows, and check mirrors to
be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always back up
slowly.
• The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in showing large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to
help avoid damaging the vehicle.
• The system will not detect small ob-
jects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
• The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show
every object.• Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of
its monitoring range limitation. The
system will not show objects below
the bumper, and may not show objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
• Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
• Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Make sure that the hatch is securely
closed when backing up.
• Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled on top of the hatch.
• When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock.
• Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera.
Do not scratch the cover when cleaning
dirt or snow from the cover.

Automatic operation (AUTO)
The AUTO mode may be used year-round as the
system automatically controls constant tempera-
ture, air flow distribution and fan speed.
To turn off the climate control, press the A/C-
Heater ON·OFF button.
The same operating mode (Heater or A/C) that
was active when the system is turned off is active
when system is turned back on.
While operating the climate control in the AUTO
mode, selecting any other climate control button
de-activates the AUTO mode and activates
manual mode.
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating:
The dehumidified heating mode can be used to
keep the windows from fogging. In this mode, the
heat pump compressor is used in A/C mode for
dehumidifying the air instead of heating it. The
PTC heater is also used in conjunction to heat the
air. This mode will increase energy consumption
and therefore reduce range.

again.
•If the Intelligent Key system battery dis-
charge indicator appears on the vehicle
information display, replace the battery as
soon as possible. See “Intelligent key bat-
