tioned in this Owner’s Manual, this vehicle is
equipped with electronic modules that monitor,
control and record data concerning various ve-
hicle systems, including the motor, batteries,
braking and electrical systems. Other electronic
modules record information concerning driving
conditions, including idling, braking, accelera-
tion, 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 Nissan-
Connect
SMEV Services (For additional informa-
tion, refer to “LEAF Navigation System Owner’s

hicle’s quality, functionality and performance;

products or services; and as otherwise may be
required by law. Such data may be shared with
NISSAN’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, suc-
cessors or assignees; authorized NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealers; NISSAN’s marketing partners;
your fleet company, if your vehicle is a fleet ve-
hicle; 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 con-
sent of the vehicle owner or pursuant to subscrip-
tion 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 op-
erate as intended or designed. These may in-
clude features such as automatic charging sta-
tion 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 remind-ers, etc. Other features that may be developed
and offered by NISSAN in the future may also not
function without telematics data transmission.

vices are provided by NISSAN pursuant to a
subscription services agreement covering your

ers. 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 ac-
count associated with this vehicle by canceling
the subscription services agreement by visiting
the NISSAN Owner’s Portal Webpage or calling
NISSAN at 1-877-NOGASEV

vated 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 Services, Vehicle
Information Sharing with NISSAN. Note, turning
off “Vehicle Information Sharing with NISSAN” will only disable the automatic sharing of informa-
tion at vehicle start-up. Certain categories of data
may still be transmitted if vehicle telematics fea-
tures are accessed either in the vehicle or re-
motely.
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 sub-
scription agreement, your vehicle wirelessly
transmits recorded vehicle data to NISSAN for
various purposes, including NissanConnect
SM
EV Services, product evaluation, research and
development. By touching OK, you consent to
the transmission and use of your vehicle data.
See Owner’s Manual or NISSAN Owner’s portal
webpage 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 trans-
mit data. However, the telematics features refer-
enced above, and perhaps others, will not be
available to you. The vehicle’s static navigation
system will remain operational, and you will be
able to access your radio and climate controls.
