2016 NISSAN LEAF steering wheel

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
Aare displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
• Red line
1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
• Yellow line
2: approx. 3 ft (1 m )
• Green line
3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
• Green line
4: approx. 10 ft (3 m )
Vehicle width guide lines
5
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up. Predicted course lines (models with navi-
gation)
6
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the R (Re-
verse) position and the steering wheel is turned.
The predicted course lines will move depending
on how much the steering wheel is turned and
will not be displayed while the steering wheel is in
the straight-ahead position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of the
predicted course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations on the
ground are for approximate reference only. Objects
on uphill or downhill surfaces or projecting objects
will be actually located at distances different from
those displayed in the monitor relative to the guide-
lines (refer to illustrations) . When in doubt, turn
around and view the objects as you are backing up,
or park and exit the vehicle to view the positioning
of objects behind the vehicle.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
Note that any object on the hill is further than it
appears on the monitor.

backing up.
Predicted course lines
6:
Indicate the predicted course when operating the
vehicle. The predicted course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move de-
pending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the steer-
ing wheel is in the straight-ahead position. The
front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h) .
Note
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or less from the straight-ahead
position, both the right and left predicted
course lines
6are displayed. When the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the
opposite side of the turn.
Birds-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle posi-
tion and the predicted course to a parking space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the apparent distance between
objects viewed in the bird’s-eye view may differ
somewhat from the actual distance to the vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot covers
2are
indicated in black. The non-viewable areas
2is
highlighted in yellow for several seconds after the
bird’s-eye view is displayed. It will be shown only
the first time after the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.

available views are:
• Rear view/bird’s-eye view split screen
• Rear view/front-side view split screen
If the shift lever is in the P (Park) position, the
available views are: • Front view/bird’s-eye view split screen
• Front view/front-side view split screen
The display will switch from the Around View®
Monitor screen when:
If the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position, the
only available view is front view/front-side view
split screen.

CD CARE AND CLEANING
• Handle a CD by its edges. Do not bend the disc.Never touch the surface of the disc.
• Always place the discs in the storage case when they are not being used.
• To clean a disc, wipe the surface from the center to the outer edge using a clean, soft cloth. Do
not wipe the disc using a circular motion.
• Do not use a conventional record cleaner or alcohol intended for industrial use.
• A new disc may be rough on the inner and outer edges. Remove the rough edges by rubbing the
inner and outer edges with the side of a pen or
pencil as illustrated.

Initialization
When the power switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. If the
button is
pressed before the initialization completes, the
system will announce “Hands-free phone system
not ready” and will not react to voice commands.
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the NISSAN
Voice Recognition system, observe the following:
• Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as possible. Point all vents away from the micro-
phone area and close the windows to eliminate
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing voice commands correctly.
• Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command. Otherwise, the command will not be
received properly.
• Start speaking a command within 5 seconds after the tone sounds.
• Speak in a natural voice without pausing be- tween words.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, press
and release the
button located on the
steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a
command.
The command given is picked up by the micro-
phone, and voice feedback is given when the
command is accepted.
• If you need to hear the available commands for the current menu again, say “Help” and the
system will repeat them.
• If a command is not recognized, the system announces, “Command not recognized. Please
try again.”Make sure the command is said ex-
actly as prompted by the system and repeat the
command in a clear voice.
• If you want to go back to the previous command, you can say “Go back” or “Correction” any time
the system is waiting for a response.
• You can cancel a command when the system is waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel” or
“Quit.” The system announces “Cancel” and
ends the Voice Recognition session. You can
also press and hold the
button on the
steering wheel for 5 seconds at any time to end
the Voice Recognition session. Whenever the Voice Recognition session is cancelled, a
double beep is played to indicate you have
exited the system.
• If you want to adjust the volume of the voice feedback, press the volume control switches (+
or -) on the steering wheel while being provided
with feedback. You can also use the radio vol-
ume control knob.
Voice Prompt Interrupt
In most cases you can interrupt the voice feed-
back to speak the next command by pressing the
button on the steering wheel. After inter-
rupting the system, wait for a beep before speak-
ing your command.
One Shot Call
To use the system faster, you may speak the
second level commands with the main menu
command on the main menu. For example, press
the
button and after the tone say “Call
Redial”.
CONTROL BUTTONS
The control buttons for the Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System are located on the steering
wheel.
