VIEWING TRAFFIC INFORMA-
TION
SiriusXM Traffic information is a subscription
service offered by SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
This service provides real-time information re-
garding traffic flow, accidents, road construction
and other incidents, where available.
SiriusXM Traffic combines information from
commercial and public traffic data providers
including government departments of transpor-
tation, police, emergency services, road sensors,
cameras and aircraft reports. The traffic informa-
tion is broadcast to the vehicle by the SiriusXM
satellites. Available traffic information on the
route the driver selected is shown on the
navigation screen so traffic conditions between
you and the destination are known. Three types
of real-time traffic information for major roadways
are shown on the navigation system:
* Unscheduled traffic data for example, accidents
and disabled vehicles.
* Scheduled traffic data, for example road
construction and road closures.
* Traffic flow information (rate of speed data) .
WARNING
SiriusXM Traffic information is not a
substitute for attentive driving. Traffic
conditions change constantly and emer-
gency situations can arise without warn-
ing. Relying only on SiriusXM Traffic
information may lead to a collision and
could result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
. Flow information is provided only for
roads equipped with traffic sensors and
is not available in all markets covered
by the service. Flow data may not be
available on portions of a road that is
under construction.
. A SiriusXM Traffic subscription is ne-
cessary to view Traffic Info.

Displaying urgent traffic information
When an urgent event is found around the
current vehicle location, a message pops up
automatically on the touch screen display with a
voice announcement.
The message includes the icon, event type, event
information and the direct distance from the
current location to the event.
INFO:
. Urgent traffic information is displayed re-
gardless of whether [Use Traffic Info] func-
tion is on or off.
“Traffic information setting”
(page 3-50)
. When there are multiple urgent events, the
event with the shortest direct distance from
the current location is displayed.
. If the urgent event is on the recommended
route, and if a detour is found, the detour
route notification screen is displayed when
the vehicle approaches the detour point.
Traffic information on map
With a subscription to SiriusXM Traffic service,
traffic information is displayed on both 2D map
and Birdview
TMmap screen.“Notes on SiriusXM Traffic information”

and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can bounce off the
ionosphere and be bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics, AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception (for
U.S.)
HD Radio Technology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts.
“Radio Menu” (page 4-15)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available) , providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When this
feature is not activated or HD Radio broadcasts
are not available, you will receive analog radio
(AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
the satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of
any metal or large building for the satellite radio
to receive all of the necessary data.
SiriusXM services require a subscription after
trial period and are sold separately or as a
package. The satellite service is available only in
the 48 contiguous USA and DC. SiriusXM
satellite service is also available in Canada; see
www.siriusxm.ca.
The satellite radio performance may be affected
if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio antenna can
affect satellite radio performance. Remove the
ice to restore satellite radio reception.

TELEMATICS OVERVIEW
In addition to Event Data Recorders (EDRs)
mentioned in the LEAF Owner’s Manual, this
vehicle is equipped with electronic modules that
monitor, control and record data concerning
various vehicle systems, including the motor,
batteries, braking and electrical systems. Other
electronic modules record information concern-
ing driving conditions, including idling, braking,
acceleration, trip and other related data, informa-
tion 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
wirelessly transmitted by cellular connection
through the vehicle onboard telematics system
upon vehicle start-up or at other intervals to
NISSAN. This data may be used by NISSAN for
various purposes, including: to provide you with
NissanConnect
SMEV; troubleshooting; evalua-
tion of your vehicle’s quality, functionality and
performance; analysis and research by NISSAN
designed to, among other things, optimize
performance of future electric vehicles including
improvements in future battery life; to offer 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;
authorized NISSAN certified LEAF dealers;
NISSAN’s marketing partners; your fleet com-
pany, if your vehicle is a fleet vehicle; your rental
company, if your vehicle is a rental vehicle; and
third party service providers such as cellular,
information systems and data management
providers.
State and provincial laws allow access and use
of data recorded by vehicle devices with the
consent of the vehicle owner or pursuant to
subscription agreement. 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 dependent on vehicle
telematics will not operate as intended or
designed. These may include features such as
automatic charging station map updates, remote
battery state of charge check, charging complete
notice, remote plug in reminder, remote charging
on, remote climate control on, drive route
planning, driving tips to improve range, driving
history, billing simulation, ECO ranking, ECO
forest, maintenance reminders, etc. Other fea-
tures that may be developed and offered by
NISSAN in the future may also not function
without telematics data transmission.
NissanConnect
SMEV 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 NissanCon-
nect
SMWebsite. Further, the operator of the
vehicle must also touch [OK] on the Navi screen
to indicate assent when requested. 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 NissanConnect
SMWebsite
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 transmission of certain
categories of data through the use of settings
found in the Navigation system under Menu,

SMEV, Vehicle Information Shar-
ing with NISSAN. Note, turning off “Vehicle
Information Sharing with NISSAN” will only
disable the automatic sharing of information at
vehicle start-up. Certain categories of data may
