2017 NISSAN LEAF manual transmission

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,
NissanConnect
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

still be transmitted if vehicle telematics features
are accessed either in the vehicle or remotely.
Your agreement to the transmission and use of
data by NISSAN can be provided in various
ways. The vehicle is equipped with a “pop up”
screen on the vehicle navigation system that will
ask for your consent to this data transfer. A
version of the following message will appear:
“Pursuant to subscription agreement, your vehi-
cle wirelessly transmits recorded vehicle data to
NISSAN for various purposes, including Nissan-
Connect
SMEV, product evaluation, research and
development. By touching [OK], you consent to
the transmission and use of your vehicle data.
See Owner’s Manual or NissanConnect
SM
Website for terms and details.” If you touch
[OK], your vehicle will transmit data as designed
in connection with the vehicle telematics system.
If you touch [Decline] your vehicle will not
transmit data. However, the telematics features
referenced above, and perhaps others, will not
be available to you. The vehicle’s static naviga-
tion system will remain operational, and you will
be able to access your radio and climate
controls.
Telematics features are dependent on cellular
data transmission. Some areas may have limited
or no cellular connectivity, resulting in a loss or
interruption of data transmission and, as a result, certain features may be temporarily unavailable.
Even if areas with good signal reception, cellular
connectivity can be adversely affected by things
such as tall buildings, apartments, tunnels,
underground parking, mountainous areas, etc.
Even if the signal strength bar of the in-vehicle
data communication module indicates good
reception, connectivity may be disrupted. This
does not indicate a malfunction. Operate the
system again after a few minutes to restore
connectivity. NissanConnect
SMEV telematics
features are offered as a convenience to the
vehicle owner. NISSAN is not responsible for,
and owner assumes all risk of, interruptions in
service or errors based on incomplete or
inaccurate data. NissanConnect
SMEV commu-
nications may be received at a verified e-mail
address or by SMS/text messaging-enabled
mobile phone. Standard text rates and/or data
usage may apply depending on your carrier.
If your vehicle’s telematics account is active, and
you are not the original owner, please contact
NISSAN at the website or phone number above
as soon as possible to update the telematics
enrollment information. Upon sale of the vehicle,
please contact NISSAN at the website or phone
number above so that NISSAN’s records may be
updated. NissanConnect
SMEV subscription will
automatically terminate at the end of the initial free term if you do not wish to renew your
subscription agreement at the prices then in
effect.
